Cursing the day
Palisades of the shadows
Against the weight of decay
Grey light in bloom
Wasting away
In the embers of power
Not a voice to remain
Echoes of the past
In the ruins tomorrow
Lies the meaning of today
where only memories are hallow
For time to wash away
Gaze upon me
I have seen the end
Suspended in light
An omen to portend
One are we
Ae vigil in the end
Suspended in light
Days of halcyon descend
Reawakened
A temple from another age
A peace to transcend
loss fading away
Navigating
the empty spaces

In Procession
09:21
|
|||
|
The solitary purpose
To outshine the heavens in our minds
Thoughts rain down a thousand suns
Flicker on the surface of the own
The principle of reason
Wielded once in service of the all
Detached from the master’s hand
Blind and writhing ever toward the end
Bleeding out
A macerated land
In veneration
Raise a monument to man
Marching onward
Treading on the scars
In procession

Halcyon
12:47
|
|||
|
Holding onto a moment
A solitary thought
Plain and overwrought in the same
Seizing in focus
A second of the day
Our own duality overcome
A paradigm, a meaning to itself
Shifting out of view
Slipping away into naught
Raining down on me
I can feel the earth
What has come and gone
Vanishing with no return

Embers
10:47
|
|||
|
Eyes face toward the sun
Mounting the empyrean
Everything is all that will remain
Fate is just a word
Striking straight into the nerve
We all cast a shadow of the pain
What is it you want
Consuming every thought
Consuming all you are
Piercing right into the core
A fallen star to deify
Glowing in the morning light of all demise
Bowing softly toward the end
Staring at the sun hanging in air
Wait for it to fall
Seeing with the eyes of an animal
Backed against the wall
Carrying the voiceless in a hope
And a hope within a sound
Burning down to ash to disappear
Without a trace upon the ground

One Light Retreating
11:13
|
|||
|
Golden leaf wrapped around the neck, idly turning
Reaching for the sky to touch the sun again
Drunken innocence, somatic senses corroding
Roots that yearn to wander and reclaim
Wander on
Floating through the world we made before it’s gone
Walk along
One last time to say goodbye
Footsteps echo on
In perpetuum
An age of halcyon
Fades into the past

King Buffalo is so much more than a band, they are the creators of a feeling. This is the expression of a deep understanding what music needs to be engaging. This is how it should sound.

Anyone homesick for the classic sound of ’90s math rock will fall in love with the jagged guitars & tricky tempos on “LLC.”

Acheron

supported by 697 fans who also own “Omens”
It blows me away how King Buffalo can release so many albums that are all so insanely good. I mean, the only reason we didn’t get three albums in 2021 is because of the delays at the vinyl pressing plants, but I’ll gladly take two albums. When they’re this good, one album is more than a blessing.
