River Styx 04:22
Early this morning Don't believe what I saw Red hooded figure Standing by the maw Took me by the hand To come along for a ride Got nothin better to do so I Sat down by his side It was down by the River Styx So I went to go see What's in the River Styx What's gonna happen to me Charon the fairy man Show'n me on my way Is this some kind of nightmare Who am I to say Feels like I've been condemned To the river of fire Mad screams and tortured souls Hell forsaken mire He tells me that here Are where rest the doomed They float in the river Where they're consumed Looking at the bodies below Wondering what I would see Only bodies floating the river They were bodies of me It was down by the River Styx So I went to go see What's in the River Styx What's gonna happen to me

Magic Helmet 03:06
Sailing in the ocean of our time  Laughing at the people how they whine Gazing at my lady she's so fine Wishing she was not just in my mind I must see you with eyes Please be true oh divines Grant me my wish be so kind I'll give you my soul make her mine Isle of Scheria is just in sight Underneath the stone what do I find Golden crest and jewels shine in the light Ominous and sage, I feel its might Mystic words of old I do recite Maybe I'm insane like they imply All soothsayers say that love is blind As I close my eyes I see she's mine Magic helmet I can see it Magic helmet you create it Am I sleeping, am I dreaming  Magic helmet, Magic helmet

From the castle walls, you see your sake The statue standing tall, amid the lake Dark magic pow'r, within the stone Man's evil greed Lusting after power, you set afoot Under moonlit night, that God forsook Unholy carved one, with all its might Future in its sight Eleven tiger's eyes, around its head Four arms wielding swords, painted in red Sitting crossed legged, it lays in wait Soon to make its move Eleven tiger's eyes, around its head Four arms wielding swords, painted in red Sitting crossed legged, it lays in wait Soon to make its move Slowly it moves Closer to you Eyes start to glow You'll see what it knows Like any other man, who had his clash You failed to break the curse, you were no match Now he'll rest again, until it's time For another soul Caught you in his gaze, he stares you down Spell is running strong, he takes your crown Raising up the lake, you start to drown Caught you in his gaze, he stares you down Spell is running strong, he takes your crown Raising up the lake, you start to drown

Taken 04:51
I want you to have my soul I want to be your all I want you to be my queen Oh don't you see what I mean I want you to see who I am I want you to take my hand I want to be your sea Oh won't you set me free I will become your king In blood in love in creed With blind faith, and piety Your devotion to me sing You will become one with me   I am the lord of the night I am the god of your fright I am the one who does control I am the one that you all know

Moss Creeper 06:38
Lurking in a bush Looming in a brook Watches you with its eyes Starts to hypnotize Walking endlessly Lost or so it seems Hears every one of your breaths Put you soon to rest On the forest floor Wallows through the spores You become little suspect Upon you it has crept Stands above you so tall Enter in secret cabal In the hole at the base of the tree Hidden You see me but you can not run away The spell which I have cast has made you stay Earth tangled roots and vines this hellish thing You try to call but no one hears your screams The ground and everything it starts to melt You question everything, even yourself You find it hard to breath, succumbed to fear I am the moss creeper your end is near There is no escape You have sealed your fate Still groveling Nothing you can do Besides wanting to Run away You've seen the You've seen the Moss Creeper You've seen the You've seen the Moss Creeper

Your spells don't work on me Dealing with ancient sorcery Visions stirring constantly Tell me the future, what can you see Cauldron of spells, a witches brew Eye of newt, and piper's flute Wool of bat, and toad's feet Cauldron of spells, isn't what it seems Drink it up don't spit it out  Watch the room go round and round Promise of power and fame Only bringing you guilt and shame Cauldron of spells, an awful brew Adder's fork, and slip of yew Leg of lizard, and blind worm's sting Cauldron of spells isn't what it seems

Fever Dream 05:00
In the corridor so still I do see A dagger in blood Tempting me Over one I call friend And liege I'll stab in the chest Becoming king Is this real or some illusion Can my eyes deceive Hands covered in blood I bid thee farewell I creep through the night Under some spell My mind starts to die But the voices they cry And they cry Sea of red it never washes Yet are my hands clean Is this real or some illusion Does my mind believe What will they say of me What will I say of myself I hear the death bell does toll Summons to heaven or hell What will they say of me What will I say of myself I hear the death bell does toll Summons to heaven or hell What have I done

Double Mind 03:49
Double mind Double blind Mindless drool Empty fool Double mind Double lies Something cruel Eat the gruel Watching as the eyes turn dark now  Splitting in two selfs Trying to stop this oh, but how To dual masters you bow There is no place to solace Crawling inside your skin No hope to get out of this hole Retracting within You can't live with this Double mind You're killing me with your troubled mind Indecisive, far gone, and left behind Double mind

Judas Goat 06:09
A liar in disguise Deceiver in the trip Judas Goat within Lead us to our death Message from the elder Time for us to go Gathered all together For the journey, home Tales from the believers Say the story's true Take us to the promised land Make us all anew Promises of hope Convinced us all to, see To view this world a prison So we can all be freed We've waited for so long But still we're struck with fear Might be all a fantasy That the end is near In the final moments Our lifetime flashes by Life's memories now fleeting Like shadows in the, night Just before we sleep The elder starts to laugh They've played a wicked trick And there's no going back A liar in disguise Deceiver in the trip Judas Goat within Lead us to our death Leading us to our death  Leading us to our death Leading us to our death Leading us to our dead

about

Fever Dream came about over a several year period. Writing probably began way back in 2019. Tracks like "Stone in the Lake" and "Double Mind" were a couple of the early tracks. We had worked on an alternate version of "Cauldron of Spells" but it didn't feel quite right to much else we were writing at the time.

In general we really tried to make a record that we wanted to hear. We definitely wear our influences on our sleeve. No shame there! But we took elements of our three previous releases and really blended it all up into this record you're listening to now.

The title track pretty much represents who we are as a group. The riffs, melodies, bass solos, soaring vocals, and driving drums come together to create a whirlwind of a tune. It really brings together everything we love about metal.

Hope you enjoy the album!
