1.	Two Homosapiens Create Earthly Havoc (free) 05:25	lyrics	download
Insightful moon Casting glows On shadows below The eel, the rocks, the hairy holes They feed one another Cannibal crows Holders tight let go Stony mouth Spit strings of stones To polish and devour Calloused hearts for false starts The eel, the rocks and the hairy holes They all owe Holders tight let go.
2.	Hierophany on the Hilltops (free) 05:29	lyrics	download
Come! Gather! Where eyes lie profanely, Hilltops burst open And grey clouds roll and roll. This one point Is a sudden eternity Lost! Lost! Lost! We will break in shards of relief. Come! Follow where you’ll fuse and be lifted. The prison door will burst open. Burst wide open! Come! Gather! Freedom springs from confusion. Found! Found! Found! We break in shards of ecstacy!
3.	Lae Ur Kake (free) 03:16	lyrics	download
Where the layers stop Beyond the existence of nothing We will meet In great waves of void This plot, unclaimed In the in between, invisible We will build Vast phantoms We will grow a shelter For stray souls fingering The cracks between Ecstacy and agony For all courses flow this way All directions converge here Those who arrive willingly Will reign free from fear And move with grace unhindered…

5.	Invocation (free) 06:59	lyrics	download
This is an invocation to the spirit that will bring all things to life again Fortunate corpses to be pulled up around your silly souls. Dance while you can in your heavy clothes! Keep on your feet Fall on your face Flirt in the dirt Wiggle in place Lunge on your limbs Spit and spin Wheeze on your knees Do it again!
6.	4 and 1 (free) 03:28	lyrics	download
What you wanna do? 4 and 1 make steel 4 and 1 make fire with the 4 and1 we’ll have some fun get everything that we desire 4 and1 make love 4 and 1 make war with the 4 and 1 you gotta watch someone those grabbers gonna wanna come n get what’s yours but it’s yours! What?! You think you can do better than this? Look at this finely crafted organic machine! This superb example Of what trial and error can accomplish in millions of years! Feast on the fruit of labors not your own. Take advantage, use it, it’s yours! A gift from a blind, brilliant and ancient artisan. And stop fucking with it 4 and 1 build up 4 and 1 tear down with all these 4 and 1s under the same damn sun gonna tear this shit down to the ground What you wanna do?
7.	The Well is Dry, the Wheel is Stuck, but the Thunderheads are Stirring (free) 05:38	lyrics	download
Break the wheel round your neck Take the wheel, turn it back Stare into the light with drying eyes. No desires, cracking from the outside in. With muscles knotted tight round a jelly soft spine, we forgot to go down fighting. Break the wheel round your neck Take the wheel, turn it back The body’s forgotten. It strays and strays and a psychic malaise is eating the mind. But now is the time, it’s always the time to get up! Break the wheel round your neck Take the wheel, turn it back The thunder is rolling And the clouds are black!

10.	Lizard Learns to Speak (free) 04:09	lyrics	download
I am squamata. These are my words: “beware the second born, beginning of the end”.
11.	Fledgling Receives the Knife and the Knowledge (free) 04:04	lyrics	download
Night, twilight A great clear light A cluster of trees Sky-like, rising red as the sun Stars, darkness, a lamp, a phantom, dew, a double, a dream, a flash of lightening or a howl. Thus should one look upon the world.
12.	Corners to the Quarters (free) 04:27	lyrics	download
Keep the corners to the quarters Raise them fast as forty horses Keep them deep inside a fortress Keep the corners to the quarters Face the entrance to the origin Face the altar to the setting sun Raise them higher than anyone Face the entrance to the origin First find water that is flowing Feel which way the wind is blowing Heed the warning of the crowing This is how you will be knowing

about

Twelve original songs dealing with themes of divine experience, creation myth, magic, ritual, and powerful forces beyond our control. This work delves into primitively philosophical realms. Not tied to any one preexisting musical aesthetic, Cutthroat Spiritual forges new musical territory, fusing elements of Metal, Punk, Progressive, Psychedelic Rock and World Music.

Endless Wound
by Black Curse

supported by 4 fans who also own “Cutthroat Spiritual”

I came accross Black Curse, and their first demo, on Greg Biehl / No Gleaming Light YT channel in late 2019 and a bit later, in 2020, as it was covid, a whole lot of time was spent at home listening to music. In April 2020, I took a slap in my face. The songs that were already on the demo, with the new production here were so insane, it dragged me to hell. Black Curse is definitely one of the most violent band I listened in the last years. Next-level Black-Death metal for sure ! drs_dramm

Overtaker
by Hammers Of Misfortune

supported by 4 fans who also own “Cutthroat Spiritual”

Duck your head when you're passing through the intersection of Retro Prog and Tech Thrash, lest you get clapped by the Hammers of Misfortune. Great stuff, and spooky. The more I'm listening the more I find myself fixating on the weird phased vocals and the scrabbly picking patterns in the guitars. Really interesting. Ghuughra
