Buzzard - Doom Folk - 09 Harvester of Souls
Buzzard (Doom Folk Metal)
Harvester of Souls Why did you go where the hungry crows Steal the seeds you sow? Why did you go where the scarecrow Climbs down to steal your clothes? Dark night, no stars, Bleak hills, black hearts, Beware, behold Arms high, head low, Two eyes burning coal, The harvester of souls. Why did you stop where the dead men walk In the ragweed and the rot? Why did you talk to the lonely rock On the grave that God forgot? Dark night, no stars, Bleak hills, black hearts, Beware, behold Arms high, head low, Two eyes burning coal, The harvester of souls. The harvester calls you home. The sun like a bloody church bell tolls. The harvester chills your bones. Corn husks dried up, cold. Dark night, no stars, Bleak hills, black hearts, Beware, behold Arms high, head low, Two eyes burning coal, The harvester of souls. Dark night, no stars, Bleak hills, black hearts…

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.
