Garth Heavy and brutal. Even more so live. A definite 5 out of 7. Favorite track: Barbiturate Blues.
Morts

Morts First and foremost this is sludgey, swampy metal, something which makes the band's moniker entirely appropriate. But that isn't all that's contained here - we get brief forays into other territories like a touch of psychedelia in After Dark, faster pacing in Devil's Dust, groove tones in Scarlet Woman and southern rock vibes in Six Weeks and Throwing Needles, for example. One to check out if you're into stoner metal that doesn't stick to a cookie cutter formula! Favorite track: After Dark.

shaun melville This is a highly underrated Perth band (along with other bands, guess it's because Perth is so isolated) saw them support Eyehategod and they kick ass, I've seen them live twice now and they kicked ass then too! If I didn't live three hours away from Perth I would make sure to see them whenever I had the chance! Favorite track: Leader of the Damned.

LEADER OF THE DAMNED Shine. White. Lines. The white lines shine When everything you’ve ever seen and everything you’ve ever sought Is everywhere you’ve ever been and everyone you ever bought And every soul you ever stole. Unvirtuosity extolled Every time you wait your turn, you wait your turn You say you can believe it. You want to pray for giving up freedom? You say now you’ve seen it. I’ve seen it all before Getting the feeling, uncertainty leaving, the leader is feeding deceiving the lonely Oh the stolen minds, sacrificial finds, oh the frozen eyes I can see you craving, I can feel you waiting A heat seeking missile flies towards the sun, an inherent design like a bullet needs guns A heat seeking missile flies towards the sun, an inherent design like getting the feeling, uncertainty leaving the leader is feeding deceiving the lonely Oh the stolen minds, sacrificial finds, oh the frozen eyes I can see you, I can feel you You wanna live it, you wanna define, you wanna grow all night and you ain’t going home without a fright I can see you craving, I can feel you waiting A heat seeking missile flies towards the sun, an inherent design like a bullet needs guns A heat seeking missile flies towards the sun, an inherent design like getting the feeling, uncertainty leaving the leader is feeding deceiving the lonely You say you’re ready, prove it to me. Do it. Prove it Shine. White. Lines. The white lines shine

After Dark 04:35
AFTER DARK There’s a majesty, there’s inherent pain some people feel it, some embrace We can capture fear, we can consume pain some people seek it and assimilate It rises, a shattered sun, it rises in your eyes after dark It rises, exploding stars, it rises in your mind After dark Worlds of misery live in me All things unholy live in me It rises, a shattered sun, it rises in your eyes after dark It rises, exploding stars, it rises in your mind After dark Worlds of misery live in me All things unholy bleed through me It’s bleeding, escaping. It’s feeding, evading It’s seeping, erasing. It’s nearing, debasing Contemplating punishment, flushing out the effluent What are you waiting for?

BARBITURATE BLUES Make the call Button of self imposed destruction It’s pressed, I’m depressed, indisposed Nothing can trump the aching hunger Forget my best intentions, gotta cop so make the call Gotta kick, or get a hit, getting sick again Where’s my fix? Waking on corners with the flora The weeds, the deeds, the score Scraping the warmer with the mourners The need deceives deception When I’m lying on the floor Gotta kick, or get a hit, getting sick again Where’s my fix? Check the clock it’s time to cop, who’s holding? Check the stash I got no cash, I’m owing Why give it to me? Can you believe how you’re feeling? No, don’t go there, no, don’t go there Can you believe how you’re feeling? No, don’t go there, no, don’t go there, no Who’s gonna give it to me? One more before I get clean Who’s gonna give it to me? One more before I get clean Gotta kick, or get a hit, getting sick again Where’s my fix? Gotta kick, hit hit hit, sick sick sick, where’s my fix? Go bang two bags

Devil's Dust 03:19
DEVIL'S DUST Do it, prove it, play it backwards, Satan’s waiting Do it, Judas, take my own life, Satan’s way brings death Do it, cue it, turn on dead man, yeah Now that Paul is dead Subliminal orders, seek to deform you the warm glow of trauma, slowly seizes Do it Olive, give him a fuck now, Satan’s spinach Beat it, beat it, tell you it’s fair, Satan lived through M.J. Do it, toolshed, Satan spring cleans Britney told us she’s not too young like a Gaga lady of Lucifer on a Disney star there is no Allah Do it, choose it, backwards message I know what you’re doing, you don’t see me I know what you’re doing but you don’t hear me so misleading What you see ain’t what you get once you hear you won’t forget What you fear is what you get and once you hear it… But you’re never gonna hear it so you’re never gonna know
6.
Six Weeks 04:53
SIX WEEKS Busted, I’m jumping to conclusions regarding you Done and dusted yeah, under no illusions so far it’s true Less than ten seconds and you made up your mind Another six weeks until you move your behind Trusting, feeling no confusion, the gospel truth Took me ten seconds to reveal your disguise Another six weeks until I leave you behind Is it bad if I want you dead? Dusted, acting on an impulse may not be wise Gonna trust it yeah, fact is that it’s simple you gots to die Less than ten seconds and it came to me Another six weeks until you cease to be Sussed it, I’m Robert De Niro with better lines Gimme ten seconds of morality Another six weeks and we got clarity Is it bad if I want you dead? I am regret The wicked hand of fate, the hint you did not take the ultimate mistake, I’m back to haunt you, yeah Inaudible goodbyes, imperfect alibis the doubt that did not die I’m back to haunt you, yeah, haunting you I’m your will, unread, unbending I’m your bill, your payment pending I’m your life and now I’m ending. Bye

SCARLET WOMAN She sees I can’t be saved, she grieves for what I gave She never sees the hole in the middle She hears the things I hate, she leads how I behave She never sees the hole in the middle You answer the call, questions are stalled, the harlot is all When freedom’s the fall guy, an eye for an eye Surprise, it’s all gone. How does it feel? You’ve got it all wrong Surprise, there’s no law. How does it feel? You look like the whore She feeds what I forgave, she pleads I only pray She never leaves a hole in the middle She beats me when I’m brave, she weaves me through the wave She never leaves a hole in the middle You answer the call, questions absolved, the harlot stands tall When freedom’s the fall guy, an eye for an eye Surprise, it’s all gone. How does it feel? You’ve got it all wrong Surprise, there’s no law. How does it feel? You look like the whore She feeds what I forgave. She pleads I only pray

THROWING NEEDLES It began with a fire and a promise of highs But the ash piled higher into a mountain of lies The one thing I know The blackest of holes won’t hold me Where there’s no hope of fighting There is certain demise The one thing I know, that pleading for more is only Throwing needles, throwing needles Wasn’t armed with a sword, all my arm ever saw Throwing needles, throwing my life away It began with a tasting, hesitation defined It’ll end with a craving that will not be denied The one thing I know It threatens an awful mauling A soul beyond saving, it’s defeated, defiled The one thing I know, to beckon the call is surely Throwing needles, throwing needles Wasn’t armed with a sword, all my arm ever saw Throwing needles, throwing my life away You say it’s only That one more taste and then it’s over You won’t give it up, won’t be denied You won’t give it up you’re out of your mind

about

BAYOU Perth, Australia

West Australian stoner metal/sludge rock BAYOU have been leaving a path of fried minds with their unique dirty sounds of sleezed out heavy riffs of fuzz and high speed car meets tree grooves of doom. since 2009.

BAYOU's live shows are a high energy nasty ghoster coaster trip filled with many highs, come downs, and hot n' nasty Southern inspired groove filled heavy tunes.
