Buzzard - Doom Folk - 06 Cockroaches and Weed
Buzzard (Doom Folk Metal)
Cockroaches and Weed Here comes Armageddon, Viruses and radiation. Rising from the acid rain, Only two forms of life remain. Rise, come out, stand up. No more humanity. Rise, come out, stand up, Cockroaches and weed. No human survivors, No us, no them. No human survivors, No her, no him. No human survivors, No you, no me. No human survivors— Just cockroaches and weed. Millions of years go by. They evolve in body and mind. Ganja forests heal the globe. The roaches dance in flowing wizard robes. Time, they grow, they learn. Antennae spread the seed. Time, they grow, they learn, No more power, hate or greed. No human survivors, No us, no them. No human survivors, No her, no him. No human survivors, No you, no me. Only two survivors: Stoner cockroaches and weed. Here come rainbow rockets Flown by the insect prophets. Smoke swirls through the galaxy. They're teaching peace, love, and harmony. No human survivors, No us, no them. No human survivors, No her, no him. No human survivors, No you, no me. Caravans of celestial Holy cockroaches and weed.

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.
