Buzzard - Doom Folk - 10 Necro Tech
Buzzard (Doom Folk Metal)
Here comes the future. You know what’s next. The dark age of necro tech. Microchips in a dying brain Electrify and rearrange. Genetic tools revive the dead To float in space or dream in bed Without a care in the world. No woman, man, boy, or girl Biodegrades or disappears. Grins last a billion years. Tombs turn into labs. Cadavers sit up on their slabs. Circuit boards in their skulls, Decapitated kings evolve. Cybernetic chromosomes Control a walking pile of bones. So alone. Newborn babies get put down To be uploaded to the cloud Where they enjoy their mother’s kiss In virtual eternal bliss. The crime of suicide gets worse, For every death must be reversed. Chained to their immortal coil, Poets locked in prison toil. So alone. Prometheus was analog. Necro tech’s the computer god Reanimating DNA Until a godless Judgment Day When finally the sun explodes. Trillions of terabytes of data load To cosmic rays and fill the void With simulated joy. So alone.

What if Dylan listened to Sabbath and read Lovecraft? Buzzard combines the heavy riffs of Doom, ironic storytelling of Folk, and dark themes of Weird Fiction, Horror, SF, and social satire.

Doom Folk is populated by misanthropic witches, stoner cockroaches, and dog-devouring aliens. Songs explore the evils of religion and the madness of mankind with pitch-black wit.

Christopher Thomas Elliott wrote, performed, and produced Doom Folk in his basement studio using electric and acoustic guitar, bass, hand drum, 6-string banjo, and rhymes scribbled on scraps of paper.

The songs draw on the pessimistic philosophy of Thomas Ligotti, the revenge yarns of Tales from the Crypt, the metal of Electric Wizard and Candlemass, the irony of Bill Hicks and George Carlin, the narrative poetry of Greenwich Village troubadours, and the Satanic gospel blues of Zeal & Ardor.
