THE BEAST

#newmetalmusic Squidhammer has been hard at work on a first-of-it's-kind Wisconsin #vocalist #collaboration project called 'Hail The Squid'. This project consists of 12 songs (so far) which are to be co-written and performed by our vocalist, Ericka, along with some of Wisconsin's most cherished #metal vocalists who have all played a key part in helping to make a bigger, better name for Squidhammer. 'Drowning in Flames' is the second single release from this project. It features a vocal performance by Kyle Fawley, assisted by our very own Ericka Schultz-Niemann. Kyle is from the brand new WI #heavymetal band DigitalRemains and has been involved in the local Wisconsin #metalscene for many years. We're super stoked to share this collab! BTW, Don't forget to check out the first release from the 'Hail The Squid' project, 'Hamrammr': https://youtu.be/urFn0zskM6k Upcoming monthly releases will feature collaborations with other great Wisconsin metal vocalists from bands such as Micawber, ToxicRuin, Revolution-X, CasketRobbery, and many more! We aim to show the country, and hopefully the world, just what the Wisconsin metal scene has to offer!

DIMESTOCK INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/dimestock/ Lyrics: Suppression Cover-ups and loss of control Regression, never ending Yeah, I'm digging a hole Don't I know? Depression Spiraling into the abyss below Aggressive, so defensive Putting on a shit show Don't I know? This is the art of denihilism Glass half full, just another job left undone Better chance at trying to fill a fucking hole in the sun Do my actions matter? I get by on words Someone else will come by and fix up my work. Glass half full, just another drink and I gotta run Guess I'll get to walking, ain't no time for talking on the Sun, ain't no time for talking on the sun Walking blind, staring dead-eyed Biding my time, burning alive on the sun Walking blind at the end of the line Nothing in my mind, nothing left to find here I lie down in this hole in the ground I hear not a sound as the wake starts to drown me Waves crash down around me Waves crash down upon me (Drowning sounds) Glass half full just another job left undone Taking, never giving, grab up what I get and then run Does it really matter? I get by on words My world, my time, my chance to burn you I can put out the fire I will let it burn you I could put out the fire But I will let it burn you I could put out the fire But I'll let it burn higher (Burn chant) Higher (Burn chant) Here is the lighter (Burn chant) Set you on fire (Burn chant) Let it burn higher (Burn chant) Suppression Cover-ups and loss of control Regression, never ending Yeah, I'm digging a hole Don't we know? Degression Spiraling, descending deeper below Aggressive, so defensive Putting on a shit show Don't we know?
