Fever Breaks
Buzzard (Doom Folk Metal)
Gather 'round good people, as I tell the tale Of the immigrants and refugees carted off to jail Gestapo Barbie posed before the cages on Fox News Detainees assumed guilty for their skin and their tattoos From the cells of Louisiana to El Salvador Gilded techno robber barons screw the working poor I hate to have to say this I hate to say these words But you angry fools in Magastan get the future you deserve For your ignorance, pride, and cruelty, I've lost my empathy Until the fever breaks, you'll break no bread with me Until you drop your delusions and come fight by my side I'm pulling up the drawbridge across the great divide Together we can save your farms, your hospitals, your schools I'll help you leave the cult of klepto-fascist rule Sometimes it takes an apocalypse to shake the world awake Democracy dies by degrees until the fever breaks Until the fever breaks Until the fever breaks How long will it take until the fever breaks? What’s it gonna take to make the fever break? Riots in the breadline The tyrant takes a hard line The system’s going offline Showtime

The 7-track EP Everything Is Not Going To Be Alright speaks of modern America with honest outrage and satirical venom. Meanwhile, a cosmic menace looms. Musically, the full-band arrangements mix heavy fuzzed-out riffs with acoustic guitars and classic keyboards. Woody Guthrie has risen from the grave, and he’s pissed.

"One of the most essential voices in underground music right now... The bleakest, boldest, and most brutally beautiful work of his career.” - Black Metal Archives

"... a brilliantly observed and progressively subversive record that's reflecting our current political age." - Outlaws of the Sun

"I got sent this EP maybe a month ago and I’ve sat with it more than I’ve sat with anything else I’ve listened to this year save for Satiricus Doomicus Americus, which came out in January, and that in the anthemic defiance of “Doom Folk Fury,” I’ve found both catharsis and comfort, and felt a little less alone in the inflicted terrors of this moment for that. While free speech lasts, I can hardly think of a better use to put it toward." - The Obelisk

“It’s all performed with such fluidity and passion that one cannot help but be swept up by the glory that these seven tracks boast in heaps… It hasn’t even been seven months since their universally acclaimed album [Mean Bone] earlier this year, but the dire stake of the world itself has forced Buzzard to move in a way that only they can do in such magnificent fashion.” - Headbanger Reviews

"...raw emotion through fuzzy riffs, haunting vocals, and apocalyptic folk intensity. It’s personal and political, dark yet strangely uplifting — the sound of one man turning frustration into art." - Stoner Totem Magazine
