Unique and original progressive rock/metal with some stoner-ish qualities scattered hither and thither.
Favorite track: Withered World.

𝓣hat progressive core burns deep and dynamic as ever, below a stratified mantle of radiant rhythms and lavishly layered verbals. Bearing the eminent heir to the mighty ‘Boondoggle’, no other deep denizen of the rock ‘n’ roll realm sounds quite like Grey Czar. And theirs alone is the sweet, smouldering earth beneath their boldly blazoned trail.
Favorite track: Withered World.

eyes like gems
I want to take
a mind outspaced
far away
sparkling dots
so black and deep
thoughts blur grey
drift away
split off from the pain of light
abscond from this reflecting green hell
all I can see in your eyes
lost love lost life
this envenomed soul of yours
gallantly
glaring out of two holes
reflected thurst
within one’s reach
savage force
is pulling them out
sacred matters
meld with the healing of light
abscond from this absorbing gilt hell
all I can see in your eyes
lost love lost life
this envenomed soul of yours
meld with
meld with the healing of light
meld with this envenomed soul of yours

Withered World
04:23
|
|||
|
just a few of them still exist
breathing caustic air
propagate themselves
they are built to resist
begotten to outlive
they earned what once
was sowed by blame
resorbed the fruits
of greed and filth
they gain their strength
out of suffered pain
were seeded by the doom of man
were fed by the eschaton
just a few of us
survived
hidden in the dark
stuck into the soil
all whats left just husks
our minds left in the ground
we earned what once
was sowed by blame
reap the fruits
of greed and filth
we gain our loss
out of suffered pain
were seeded by the doom of man
were fed by the eschaton
by the doom of man

Insects Took Over
04:14
|
|||
|
the sky, it changes in a flash
into an infinite eclipsing ceiling
claws and yaps above our heads
it’s time to bide and hide
until salvation
a noise, like brawly waterfalls
a sea of stitches feasts on our trust
insects took over
they're in control of everything
a bitter taste lasts in our mouth
in memories of the past
we set unsung
what's last, the link between all thoughts
bloodcurdling wails
a path of destruction
yells drown, pressed back into a sphere
a myriad of beings fall, to resignation
insects took over
they took control of everything
when all is over
we're paying for our wrongdoing

trooping for the hive, totality
moving limbs in unison
oscillating wave, extremities
for arthrobotic unity
behold, the waltz of opulence
drain the nectar, frame the scepter
all species join in symmetry and prosperity
a surge of motion, tagmatic fusion
trooping for euarthropodia
marching in euphoria, prosperity
flourishing in harmony
pennons in the sky, glittering
for arthrobotic synergy
behold, a dance so elegant
receive the nectar
praise the scepter
arthromorphic symmetry and stability
a surge of motion
magmatic fusion
trooping for euarthropodia
trooping for the hive
for euarthropodia

Ballad Of Propellerheads
04:28
|
|
||
|
what‘s you?
monstrous creatures with propellerheads
plastic proboscis strapped around their pates
the beauty of radiant colors gushes all over a wide open plain
bizarre how these crude waning shadows try to outlive in their pain
jailed by their own failure
aby for their sins
bound by their urge to survive
man-machine
phase down the ballad of propellerheads
they ambulate the valley of the doomed
let them faint and die away
decay to bloom again
bloom again
what’s you?
clumsy swarms of human butterflies
greasing blossoms, flattering heads
the beauty of radiant colors contrasts a barren wide open plain
bizarre how these crude waning shadows try to outlive in their pain
jailed by their own future
aby for their sins
bound by their urge to survive
man-machine
phase down the ballad of propellerheads
they ambulate the valley of the doomed
let them faint and die away
decay to bloom again
bloom again

Queens Of The New World
03:52
|
|
||
|
we’re the queens of the new world
inviolated source of life
you hordes of arthropods
emerge out of oblivion
we graze all our dead souls
enveloped in unified grief
you hordes of arthropods wither to permanence
steering the masses, they sprawl for us
they‘re fueling their glorious queens
growth for the realm, we‘re feeding the engines
with abundance and endless extent
exploit the lackluster jewel, ride it till the end
queens of the new world
inviolated source of life
graze all our dead souls
you hordes
hordes
exploit the lackluster jewel, ride it till the end
till the end

Nutritional Protocol
03:47
|
|
||
|
above all stands sustenance
existence means hunger
few are, the esculent remains of old
no more seed, no more spore
ill-fated gleaner swarms
the search is vain
foundation consumed
by unyielding growth
gone are, the esculent remains of yore
gorging behemoth
ravenous turmoil
impose the protocol
nutrition
the only hope
sustaining the host
feasting with zeal
time has come
sustaining the host
feasting with zeal
it has come, the creeping end
a self-consumed deliverance
gorging Behemoth
voracious maws to feed
last resort, the protocol
nutrition
the only hope

Arthrobotic Liberty
03:44
|
|
||
|
and all the things we had
we want them back
palmy times and wanton growth
all the mirth we felt
sticks in our heads
pervades the sphere with warming hope
we toil, we sleep
although we are awake
we yell and scream
while our voice is sealed
we crave and ween
for total liberation
cloak the shadows into light
in future visions
the mind ensnared by morning haze
spirit spreads emitting sparks
waning shadows
nurture the voracious giant
like gnats we seek
for an electric grid
at least a light flares
when we sear on it
all hope appears
in total liberation
cloak the shadows into light
in future visions
the mind ensnared by morning haze
spirit spreads emitting sparks
until the ballads fade away
until the shadows die away
waning shadows die away

Aeon
04:53

|
||
|
faith was gone
a vehicle to bring us far away
paving the path
paving the path to a better future
the ancient world
we trampled on
the chaos we provoked
we‘re leaving
we’re leaving in the dust
a ray of trust expedient
into a deep black sky
a gleam of failing confidence
to light a beacon of hope
bring us back, let all begin
let there be a better end
a grain of sand, among the stars
into the infinite
a second chance, half-life renewed
take us home in darkness
a path to lead and show the way
into a sprawl of light
this will be where all begins
arouse of a new ending
the path we tread leads far away
into the infinite black

about
Euarthropodia tells a tale of a failing human species, which is eradicated in a cataclysmic event. The remains of man and earth’s biomes is overtaken by insects. The manifold phylum of Arthropoda raises a chromatic empire on top of a monochrome wasteland. The euphoria of new growth and the joined effort of a myriad of invertebrate beings working towards a new federation of insect species, the glorious queendom of Euarthropodia. But all is not well, cracks appear in the newfound world and exploitation and neglect become ever more apparent, culminating in a self-consuming measure for sustainment. The depletion of resources and the selfish ignorance of the arthropodic noblesse press their weight upon the gaunt forms beneath, ultimately leading to the downfall of the Euarthropodic empire. There remains but one last hope.. a new beginning among the stars.

by Sergeant Thunderhoofsupported by 110 fans who also own “Euarthropodia”
I discovered this band by chance with this album. I've been at once captivated by the smooth power of their doom, epic and lyrical, led by a beautiful melodic voice. If any traces of it remain here and there, the acrid greasy aftertaste of stoner rock has been seriously diluted compared to their previous releases, to my great satisfaction.
go to album -
The Long Island metal band's third album etches arena-sized hooks into their jagged compositions, deftly balancing experimental and poppy inclinations.
