davaudio One of the best debut albums I have ever heard. I mean it has it all. If you don't like it you should stab yourself in the ears with a screwdriver. Favorite track: Cyclop's Claim.

Night Flyer 04:22
Mama told me not to be so unkind I know you loved me, but it won’t make me blind I’ve never been a lier, I only play with fire Because my night is your day Don’t wanna make your mind insane A worm and stinging pistol is what I need To make myself more shure of what will be Night Flyer, I’m awake and I’ll get higher I really hate myself but I cannot be somebody else Night Flyer, I’m a wave and I’ll get higher I really hate myself but I cannot be somebody else

Beware of hopelessness and liars We don’t sell our souls of fire The flame is burning, we must keep it clean From darkness, falseness and hypocrisy One big eye, big one eye One eye sees, two eyes die In front of cosmic pain, beggin’ more won’t make you safe Beware of hopelessness and liars We don’t sell our souls of fire The flame is burning, we must keep it clean From darkness, falseness and hypocrisy One big eye, big one eye One eye sees, two eyes die In front of cosmic pain, One eye sees the truth

There’s a place behind you Unknown to your own eyes A land where giants rule you Casting shadows, telling tales Trapped like slave in this gorgeous dome We cannot stop our playin’ While drunk on their illusions People couldn’t hear us prayin’ So, left alone by everyone we left For a place where the sun refuses to shine as it’s too cold Drifted by our love from Isle, like the magician said, To Giants of the Mountain we offer To feed their bramosy. Mother, I’m sorry if I left you, but since the day I met you, Your loneliness was killing me Father, I hate to disappoint you, But from the day I’ll leave you, I won’t share my faith with you Oh, I can see the sky now Though my hands are bleeding My love is rare and hard to find And this way I will try it with you.

Madness Show 07:07
The beauty of your mind Has passed away with time Ten thousand miles from nowhere You still can hear the same old music with lies Now that you know you just want run away from the cross You’ve got to roll it down to show your misery Endless sound of empty speaches told Brings you only hellish reflex of hypocritical charity Now that you know you just want run away from the...ghost! You’ll have to beg no more Take care of your own soul Nobody’ll do it for you Welcome to madness show

Eileen’s speaking on the grave About the beauty and its fake About the beauty and its fake Eileen’s speaking on the grave She’s an orphan of the kingdom of the stars She gave her love She’s beautiful

My revolution... I’d rather be a dead Your revolution...look at my heart, if now is black Sometimes these revolutions bring close to the hell Prisoner of the wolves of paranoia The stream of consciousness takes to euphoria Romantic lovers lie in fields of rainbow And filled with rain become Symbiotic souls of fire Like flowers from a field you’ll pick my bones up to the ground My revolution...another mile to the hill Your revolution...a battle I just couldn’t fight Master Mind, behind my mind, calls back the horses Imagination flows but it can’t feed your hearth In useless hours shadows lead to nowhere Romantic lovers lie in fields of rainbow And filled with rain become Symbiotic souls of fire Like blades that stab my back These memories cut my soul inside

Blue is the picture he got in his head Of a garden without dreams that’s driving he mad Raindrops are falling right down from his eyes As he knows that he can no more Take the Muse as his bride. Aaah! He sings a song of death. Lost in the seas of nothingness Gnawlings stealing mind its rest I hear the voices from the past They make me sure that nothing last. I was the second one on a list of first choices The only thing I know is that my life couldn’t be that waste. Buried his dreams so up high in the sky He can’t fit with illusions for a matter of pride Black bells are spreading their chime all around As the garden of doom says hello to his new child

about

Italian power trio Doctor Cyclops puts down with its debut an extraordinarily authentic and fulminant marching 70s hardrock album with “New Wave OF British Heavy Metal” but also US-Westcoast blues influences. It captivates with raw energy and its wealth of intelligent psychedelic and progressive facets, powerful rhythm and mystical concept with a few flute/organ flashes, but is mainly guitar driven.

Chris Draghi (vocals/guitar) knows in special kind how to melt his epic guitar riffs and wailing solos with his sensitive and catchy singing and provides a huge emotional intensity, on the one hand very mighty, but also haunted and desperately, completely in the style of groups like Black Sabbath, Grand Funk Railroad, Blue Öystercult or today's like Graveyard, Witchcraft, Cathedral. Seven songs between 4 and 8 min in total 48 mins are produced very well, rather unusually for a debut album, and create hunger to let these guys blow your mind Live-On-Stage with a genuine thunderstorm.

This album takes you back to those days when music still was music, and was celebrated to kick out the jams!

about

Doctor Cyclops Bosmenso Superiore, Italy

Doctor Cyclops is a seventies-styled power trio playing heavy rock music inspired by a vintage sound, eldest son of glorious Balck Sabbath and of other more underground heroes from the 70ies and early 80ies such as Sir Lord Baltimore, Captain Beyond or Witchfinder General. Even more modern references are warm-vintage styled ones: Witchcraft, Cathedral, Spiritual Beggars just to say some. ... more
