Brutalist

Master of Alchemy Heavier & also expressing a wider repertoire of shading than their debut, this 2nd release is immense and mature. Difficult to choose a favourite song as there are so many standouts in musical and lyrical composition - Mediocre for the sheer kicking to the head; the lyrics of Graveyard capture the essence of Salt Lake's harsh & desolate beauty; Stardust for the musical nuance and existential / metaphysical lyrics; God/Damn for the amazing 2nd half & poignant ending - the resonating bass strings! Favorite track: Stardust.

Mediocre 05:26
The table's set now He's ready to play So confident and mediocre He'll go a long way Always ahead He can't see it, it isn't there Always the dead Dead on arrival, dead on arrival Always ahead He can't see it, it isn't there Always the dead Dead on arrival, dead on arrival Big fucking mouth Big fucking hair Lily-white, insecure persona He'll fit right in The table's set now He's ready to play So confident and mediocre He'll go a long way Always ahead He can't see it, it isn't there Always the dead Dead on arrival, dead on arrival Always ahead He can't see it, it isn't there Always the dead Dead on arrival, dead on arrival Mediocre

Brutalist 04:38
This is our night Anything goes Thought you were right Idol you chose We are the night Everything goes Never give up No surrender Never give up No surrender This is our night Anything goes Where we begin Meet in the end We are the night Everything goes Never give up No surrender Never give up No surrender Lick the boot On the edge Down the hole Choose your tribe Choose your hill Burn it all This is our night Anything goes Thought you were right Idol you chose We are the night Everything goes

Graveyard 08:49
Red is the sunset When buried in Salt Lake No life, bird graveyard Only gull sustenance And Salt Brine Sodium Savor Death Barren Mercury Blow

Stardust 08:12
All the lives under this sky Are made of dust of all the stars Expired Burned Cooled Ejected Then we invented our separation Then we created our separate Gods To hold When we all return to dust Scattered out in a gust Expired Burned Cooled Ejected Why we invented our separation With no return to separate Gods To hold Alleles from heavy metals Tones from supernova Love from dopamine Hate is oxytocin and learned In the end, all is dark Back to dust after the spark Expired Burned Cooled Ejected Mixed all together, our separation Without returning to separate Gods We're all the same after the grave With all the stars return to dust Buried Dust Buried Dust

Alone 04:21
We were forever I laid my heart Before a throne It needs too many I am alone We were the chosen The overlord Upon a throne It takes an army I am alone It needs too many It takes an army I am alone We were the righteous Reserved and savored Reduced to stone Out in this desert I am alone It needs too many It takes an army I am alone You are alone Broken crowns never fit bloody heads So desperate for my praise All alone So fucking arrogant All alone
6.
God/Damn 10:53
After living decades of control Wake up, crack bones, rub out eyes and more Your God chose Flesh and blood Cover your altar Jealous Vengeful Loving Murder Wait for returns, they will never show Wake up, crack bones, rub out eyes and more Your God chose Flesh and blood Cover your altar Jealous Vengeful Loving Murder Go with the Truth Go with the Fact Go with God Damn
