about

Heavily inspired by sci-fi and Tabletop RPGs, DESERTS OF MARS deliver a dynamic sonic mixture of stoner rock, grunge, metal, and doom/industrial. The new single "Crimson Mountain" is out now, and lands ahead of the forthcoming album Dead Planet Exodus to be released later this year.

"An anthem and rallying cry for the Crashtronauts and the band as our heroes hop into a battle vehicle and head to take the rocket base atop the Crimson Mountain (you can see the rocket taking off on the album cover). I channeled all the anime/action visuals in my head for this one, as I wanted to evoke the feeling of a band going for broke with weapons shaped like instruments, slaying their enemies, and reaching their ultimate goal.

Thinly veiled, but the last lyric: 'This flight, our final fight To seize our place Among the stars' is how I feel this album and its strange winding production has been for the band. This is our final make or break during this time period, and a call to action that we have to make things happen."

lyrics

Fueled up and axes ready
Needles buried but holding steady
Hop in- we’re heading
To glory or death

As the cliffs come into view
Blood red their deadly hue
That gleaming rocket is our
Destination

(To) Take the Crimson Mountain
Stormin’ the fort
To destiny

Sonic engines in overdrive
What a time to be alive
Smashing through the gates
With our
Weapons ready

Electric fire fills the air
Through the slaughter
We’ll soon be there
Undaunted
That silver ship is ours

(To) Take the Crimson Mountain
At the summit,
We’re ripping through
This flight, our final fight
To seize our place
Among the stars

This is an absolute gem. These guys should be much bigger than they are. All tracks are great but special shout out to the Pink Floyd-esque Pillar Man In The Sun, the bluesy Cosmic Drive and my fave Growler - awesome. Just buy it now! TheWayISeeIt
