DarkCompass 1224 Sept 6th 2024 – Untie Jasmin

I always thought that I had to endure

Carry the weight of it all

Parts of myself had to be ignored

Or I'd be unlovable

But lately I've felt the change

And it feels like a betrayal

I guess my nature's showing

That I'm not the same

But lately I've felt the change

What it is I cannot size

I guess my nature's showing

What it is I cannot size

No, it's a cold belief

No longer setting me free

No, it's a cold belief

We'll be right back.

This is Los Lindens!

L!

In the shadows of the city, you rose high

A warrior of truth, but the master will die

Trying to see his name, and goes loud

No pulse in your throat, standing proud

Johnny Z, the keeper of the flame

Never now, not a day he rests, no shame

Justice in his hands, sweet in his eyes

Against the face, he always defies

Democratic and firm, no figures to play

Supporting musicians, helping free

In a jungle of lies, he's the voice of reason

Protecting talent, without any treason

Johnny Z, the keeper of the flame

Never now, not a day he rests, no shame

Justice in his hands, sweet in his eyes

Against the face, he always defies

Johnny Z

The pathetic past agent, a nest of deceit

Crushing dreams, promoting the elite

Johnny Z is there, as corrupted and true

Walking as an old man, he's the best

Catching the whole world, always pushing through

Johnny Z, the keeper of the flame

Never now, not a day he rests, no shame

Justice in his hands, sweet in his eyes

Against the face, he always defies

The pathetic past agent, a nest of deceit

Supporting musicians, helping the slain

In the jungle of lies, he's the voice of reason

Protecting talents without any treason

Philanthropic inferno, fearless to play

Supporting musicians, helping the slain

In the jungle of lies, he's the voice of reason

Protecting talents without any treason

Many presages, it's not just seeds

Crushing dreams, promoting the elite

Putting teeth, dance, uncorrupted and true

Packing national metal, always pushing through

Always pushing through

On the battlefield, his voice is thunder

Descending metal, art through water

Having seen the hero, won't surrender

That metal scene, his reign is forever

In the jungle of lies, he's the voice of reason

Protecting talents without any treason

It's getting hit on a number of other people here on the station

and, of course, on the Cutting Edge playlist,

which we put together for a Saturday morning with brand-new music,

brand-new singles from bands you know and brand-new bands,

which we really love.

And, yeah, yeah, we're really enjoying doing it.

One band that I'm really getting into at the moment is a fantastic band

by the name of Running With Knives.

Now, they have just played Bloodstock.

They were there the other week and, yeah, went down really, really well indeed.

Go and check them out over at their Facebook page.

Running WK is where you can find them.

This is their new single.

This is called Ashes.

Ashes

Faithful eyes upon me, the end is growing near

The weight of their expectations slowly bringing me to tears

On a pedestal I stand above the rest

They scream my name, I'm a king on the scene

A hero grand and the pressure is building

Now I feel the strain

I don't wanna preach to the masses

They kill my passion with eternal flame

And every time I get burned to ashes

I try to rise but it's not the same

I don't wanna preach to the masses

They kill my passion with eternal flame

Every time I get burned to ashes

I try to rise but it's not the same

Unleash the raging storm, I set my ground

Standing tall but as the reach of change transforms

I stumble and lose it all

Screams turn to whispers

The applause turns to tears

The world's on fire amidst the blisters

And I'm left alone to face my fears

I don't wanna preach to the masses

They kill my passion with eternal flame

And every time I get burned to ashes

I try to rise but it's not the same

I don't wanna preach to the masses

They kill my passion with eternal flame

Every time I get burned to ashes

I try to rise but it's not the same

I don't wanna preach to the masses

They kill my passion with eternal flame

And every time I get burned to ashes

I try to rise but it's not the same

They kill my passion with eternal flame

I'm hard apart, with no strength

A man-machine to entertain

I'm a human being with my own feelings

I feel the weight of all disguise

I'm 군 estat

I don't wanna break to the masses

They fill my passion with internal flame

And every time I get burned to ashes

I try to rise but it's not the same

I don't wanna break to the masses

They fill my passion for their own fucking game

I try to rise but it's not the same

They fill my passion for their own game

I try to rise but it's not the same

I don't like the way you talk this way

This evil wish can't be defined

Open doors are staring back at me

Which to choose or take them all

It's all up to you

It could be you

It could be me

It could be anyone's for free

Make a move to believe

This could be your life

It's the thrill of a lifetime

Walking the sound

And on the blade

Keep my feet upon the ground

Every step

I take preparing me

Choices made affecting all

It could be you

It could be me

It could be anyone's for free

Make a move to believe

This could be your life

Trusting truth

Trusting faith

It's not all a big mistake

Stay alive

Take a ride

Just feel me on your heart

It's the thrill of a lifetime

Fall through the breakdown

When no usually finds

Talkin attitude

guitar solo

It could be me

It could be anyone for free

Make a move to believe

This could be all mine

Trusting truth, trusting faith

It's not all a big mistake

Stand up, take a right

This could be all mine

It's a thrill of a lifetime

Who's the lead guitarist and vocalist, of course?

So, yeah, go and check them out, won't you please?

You're listening to Rho, this is Dark Compass

Still got lots of great stuff to play

Onwards to Finland now

For some symphonic hard rock, I thought

A band called Yesterday Mass

Their new album, which is called

I cannot remember the name of it

It's always the way, isn't it?

Yes, but I do like their new single

This is Take My Hand

Running steps

But nowhere to go

Keep on breathing

There's no place

Where to return

Hundred souls

Save their own in the rain

Casting light on

Path ahead

Ever dreaming all at once

By all the dreams that die

They push you on

Have to keep on moving

Tap the fear aside

To find your home

Take my hand

That's the journey

Take your soul

Take your love

Takes it all

Take my hand

Take a step, and take control

That I've been by your side

Through the woods

And the deep below is a trial

Criminals and liars

Side by side

But when you have to let go

Will the truth arise

To break your fall?

So take my hand

Take my hand

That's the journey

Take your soul

Takes your love

Takes it all

Take my hand

Take the step

Take control

Be brave to start

From

Sometimes

You catch yourself

Looking back on long gone days

Sometimes

The smallest step

Can start the longest

Journey's of

Them all

Oh

Yeah

Oh

Whoa

Oh

Thanks for watching!

Thank you.

Good, heavy riffs.

I do like that indeed.

That track has taken off their brand new album,

the 17th of October, called Black Shift.

It's their second album,

a follow-on from their previous one, Ascension.

I'll be doing this far too long

to change my mind.

And take opinions of other people.

Yeah, never mind.

Anyway, on to the next one, shall we?

Slower are releasing a brand new album

called Rage and Ruin.

Bob Bouch, of course, involved with this

alongside Amy Tung

And they did.

It's an album a while back,

which is all Slayer covers.

And remember, I played a few of those

over the few months that that came out.

And you can still get your hands on it.

Still a great album.

Well worth going and checking out.

Yes, they're a fantastic track.

This is called Hellfire.

Hellfire.

That church, they belong to the east side

Went on to the west

He walks through the valley, the valley of death

And he walks through the valley of death

Wind howls to the sound of the drum

He's inside my chest

He walks through the valley, the valley of death

And he walks through the valley of death

He's there around, trying to grasp what's left of all

The miracle of life

He walks through the valley, the valley of death

And he walks through the valley of death

Mouths moving shapes, things that never make it to the screen

He's inside my chest

He walks through the valley, the valley of death

And he walks through the valley of death

Yeah

He's down on me

He's in

Burning up to the heavens

One last caress

He walks through the valley, the valley of death

And he walks through the valley of death

Silence

Swirls around in the chaos

Be all that he is

He walks through the valley, the valley of death

And he walks through the valley of death

First passing to the world

I've wasted so stuck in the flames of time

As he walks through the valley, the valley of death

And he walks through the valley of death

Despair she lays her hands on every living thing

Well come wildfire

As he walks through the valley, the valley of death

And he walks through the valley of death

Yeah

Come on

He

It's down on me

guitar solo

It's down on me

I see the morning light

Everything's gonna be alright

I hear my favorite song

Everyone was singing low

Higher

Gonna get you higher

Inside you're burning up the street

I feel the morning rays

New roads and a brand new world

I hear my favorite song

Everyone was singing low

Higher

Gonna get you higher

Inside you're burning up the street

guitar solo

D-Gash and Fire

D-Dash and Fire
