Slow and Painful Death

Alpaca (Shanghai, China) and Guevnna (Tokyo, Japan) have teamed up to set your cassette decks ablaze. Having visited one anothers’ countries, a hellspawned bond, friendship, and comradery was born through common influences, styles, and spirit. Alpaca’s “Slow and Painful Death” is a new approach to songwriting that encompasses various styles, and is a noticeable departure from the Black Stars formula. Nevertheless, doom, sludge, groove, metal, and some deep fuckin’ southern blues are ever-present. “Street Demon” punches you straight in the jaw from the get-go. GUEVNNA is known for their groovy doomy tracks that can get any crowd moving, and this track is no exception. An absolutely rock-solid contribution to this split from the kings of Japanese underground doom.

Lyrics

Thunder lightning

Darkened clouds

All along the path of stone

And the vultures

Waiting for

My body to give up and fall

The point of no return

We’re heading downwards

Just cut the leg and let it go

I’m alone

I’m trying

What’s the longest i can wait

Tears of blood

I’m crying

It’s a slow and painful death

Agonizing

Rotting scent

In a coffin made of pain

And the wolves
