An exceptional album... the best of Heavy Rock and Stoner Doom Metal, cohesive and perfectly structured in every detail with a precise and vigorous instrumental, striking vocals in a lyrical construction that take the soul on an emotional mental journey. Thank you 𝐂𝐡𝐫𝐢𝐬 (reminds me of Cornell) and 𝕷𝖆𝖒𝖆𝖘𝖘𝖚! Favorite track: Made of Dust.

Pumpkin Thierry "These guys know what doom and stoner mean and they merge both concepts with other genres to get their own heavy rock. The horizon seems to be quiet but the (inner and physical) journey is rugged to reach it. Let’s meander boredomlessly with them for 68 minutes along the dusty path, among stellar melodies, crushing riffs, contemplative twilights – to each bend, its new panorama. An album made of dust is a negentropic experience that brings me strength." #9 in June DoomCharts Favorite track: Tin Man.

Battle Cry 07:56
This is the end, the end of time Fear will get us there, we will not tolerate Throw traitors overboard, to drown in their hate This is the time, the time to burn Scream our battle cry, enemies overthrown Send haters to the sun, to burn in the light Poison flows down a thousand years I stick my eyes out to see inside your soul Scream our battle cry, enemies overthrown Send haters to the sun, to burn in the light Poison flows down a thousand years I stick my eyes out to see inside your soul Poison flows down a thousand years I stick my eyes out to see inside your soul, soul, soul, soul

Washed Away 06:30
I've been expecting rain for as long as you've been here Falling down and out I've been, then it rains again I've been so uptight for as long as days I've seen Digging out gutters again, 'for the rains begin Lay down slow dig your bones Fill the hole return to dirt Rain, the rain. It washed away your world Rain, the rain. It washed away Going back to draft, redesign reshape the clay The mould has broken stuck spinning, let the rains begin Lay down slow dig your bones Fill the hole return to dirt Rain, the rain. It washed away your world Rain, the rain. It washed away Lay down slow dig your bones Fill the hole return to dirt Rain, the rain. It washed away your world Rain, the rain. It washed away

Hey you thrown down your fucking gods You don't know how to live with yourself now Right now these killing fields are clear Up down all around in this head space You become what you fear You become what you fear the most Get out the hell away from me Shit town, misery your life right now Next life killing fields still here Up down this is your very best head space You become what you fear You become what you fear the most You become what you fear You become what you fear the most

The Fog 08:17
Drifting in on a broken soul Can't untie these tangled thoughts alone Fog choking me my mind's a noose I cannot sail the wind won't blow for me Hammer in the nails crucify my destiny Black days are here keeping me tortured I, I lie to mindless creeps and posers Fog choking me my mind's a noose I cannot sail the wind won't blow for me Hammer in the nails crucify my destiny I'm born to fail but without you I'm just me I see you in the moonlight On the coldest seas You penetrate my mind Fog is you, you're me I'm lifting you tonight This fog is choking me I've seen your darkest light Fog is you, you're me

Sorrow of the children for the hollowed out grey men Like shells in the ocean at beginnings of the end Tides flow and erode the edge, the edge of normal men Obey your moons and your masters then remember your pledge Sorrow of the children Tear down all the mountains there's nothing too big for man Bring them down to size collapse nature from the inside Blow grains of sands upon us let the pestilence take sides I drain the rivers dry to feed the unrelenting sea There's nothing but money left thats whats eating me There's nothing but money left thats whats eating me Sorrow of the children There's nothing but money left thats whats eating me There's nothing but money left thats whats eating me

Shimmers strange light Glimmer hope fright Dimmer cloak night I, I sense there's something else to this, something else to this I bet there's something else out there, out there now Stories you heard Told by a little bird Saviours all around (They) Play you like a sound Link a sound I, I sense there's something else to this, something else to this I bet there's something else out there, out there now I know there's something else who knows, it's how it goes I sense there's something else to this, something else Shimmer strange lights Glimmer hope fright Seen right through me Play you like a sound Like a sound I, I sense there's something else to this, something else to this I bet there's something else out there, out there now I know there's something else who knows, it's how it goes I sense there's something else to this, something else

Made of Dust 07:07
Lights bloom, sounds consume Burn your bones, grind 'em down Lifes doom, minds ruin Hail falls, fire rain on down, bury me in dirt Bury me in life now, reach for my hand return to earth Dream me into life now, I'm made of dust Count time, waste away Dream on the stars, you're made of dust Fall down, fold around Contort your bones Tear the flesh away, bury me in dirt Bury me in life now, reach for my hand return to earth Dream me into life now, I'm made of dust Bury me in life now, reach for my hand return to earth Dream me into life now, I'm made of dust Lives doomed, nights consumed Bones were burnt, life had its way with me Sinking down, I slowly drown No will left, the fight is ending here, bury me in dirt Bury me in life now, reach for my hand return to earth Dream me into life now, I'm made of dust and so are you

White Pills 06:30
I can't control whats inside The fear, the pain, these cells of mine It's eating away, stripping my mind The burning pain, I'm losing myself The light fades and seems to control I take two white pills before I fall It's eating away, stripping my mind The burning pain, I'm losing myself, again I can't control whats inside But two white pills will tame these cells of mine They're eating away, ripping my mind Confused brain I'm losing myself, again

Tin Man 10:16
We're lost in times forgotten, beginnings end We die by knives and cotton, candy from friends We're blind to all thats rotten, fall leaves condemned Use your time wisely now my friend Our old friend time is no friend Clock struck, time is running Clock struck, time's no friend Clock struck, time is running Clock struck, time's no friend of mine Canned laughter bursting from me, Tin Man is dead Use your time wisely now my friend Our old friend time is no friend Clock struck, time is running Clock struck, time's no friend Clock struck, time is running Clock struck, time's no friend of mine In our final days, our final hours we live And as time goes on, the older our bones, we live Fly high like Icarus, sun burns your wings Use your time wisely now my friend Our old friend time is no friend Clock struck, time is running Clock struck, time's no friend Clock struck, time is running Clock struck, time's no friend of mine In our final days, our final hours we live And as time goes on, the older our bones, we live As time goes on, all things must end

about

"Made Of Dust is the brilliant sophomore album by Aussie band LAMASSU. These guys know what doom and stoner mean and they merge both concepts with other genres to get their own heavy rock. The horizon seems to be quiet but the (inner and physical) journey is rugged to reach it. Let’s meander boredomlessly with them for 68 minutes along the dusty path, among stellar melodies, crushing riffs, contemplative twilights – to each bend, its new panorama. An album made of dust is a negentropic experience that brings me strength."

"Made of Dust is no minor undertaking, and when one factors in that its exploration is internal as well as external — that is, it’s not only seeking the next version of the band’s approach instrumentally, it’s also thoughtful in its lyrical journey — the substance on offer would seem to meet the high standard it’s holding for itself."
