Mine 05:36
Mine Black fireworks Going from bad to worse Slip noose Hide your win, burn the truth Cracking code Sweet taste of the antidote False memories Kiss dementia on the lips Deafening drone Of the unknown Stoned and alone Dead on the throne High and low Landscapes on the floor Worm womb My brain is an open wound Rats feast On heart of the lion 8 out of 10 On the scale of dying Deafening drone Of the unknown Stoned and alone Dead and dethroned Be afraid Keep away Don’t look up Play it safe Sun won’t shine For the blind You don’t want What is mine

New You 05:38
New You We who are Devoured Ill-tempered Doom-powered Hard crashing Slow burning There’ll be no Returning Black painting Weed eating Brain damaged Soul bleeding Corrosion Delusion We are the Pollution But you There’ll be a million more of you But new New You

Weekend Valhalla Blinding white Icicles pierce my eyes Morbid aurora Northern style total war Cracking scull Icepick justice Storm of light Luminescent warfare Meds from St.P Are getting to me Weekend Valhalla Old whores Bodies kept on ice Gods of north Rise before my eyes Cracking scull Icepick justice Storm of light Luminescent warfare Meds from St.P Are getting to me Weekend Valhalla For 24 hours

Winter 07:18
Winter Wasted hours, bleak and numb Scattered pearls on hollow ground Underfoot like teeth they grind Twinkling dreams we left behind Winter mantles naked bones of the trees Time devours everything we believe Sharp dressed mornings, black and white Short lived days and endless nights Drifting through the gulf of time Melting iceberg of our life Winter mantles naked bones of the trees We sleep tightly in the arms of our fears Evil wizards know their trade Bony fingers spell our names Hopes and dreams in disarray Twisted ghoulish masquerade Winter mantles naked bones of the trees Time will blanket everything that we feel P.S. Underfoot that grinding sound I’ve been watching snow fall down I’ve been watching time slow down Disillusioned worn out clown

Comfort of the sick At sundown see the shadows circle Around a crooked tree Stay on your path to better after Don't ever think of me In the land of dying We stop time Stillness of the water Reptiles of mind Don't ask and they will never tell you The secret of the weak Sleep tight and hope you never pray on The altar of the sick In the land of dying We stop time Stillness of the water Reptiles of mind Lay body into fire Lead spirit into void The sky is falling down It's raining asteroids In the land of dying We stop time Stillness of the water Reptiles of mind

Sleeping Beauty Born without a face she has teeth Unable to talk she can bite Deep into the flesh of the flowering youth Hard into the bones of the rotting old Coming like a dusk into land of sunshine Sleeping beauty never felt warmth Princess of the cold desolation Angel with a heart of black snow Rejoice, evil wizards! Salute her solemn coming! Eating is the way of complete acceptance Every soul she takes finds new home Absolution through full eradication Every drop of blood will be turned to stone Every word will have a new meaning Every meaning becomes her name Ringing in the air with a crystal silence Of a lifeless seclusion Rejoice, evil wizards! Solute her solemn coming! They will see black lakes, stone woods They will feel black lakes, stone woods, white death…

about

“S.W.I.M.” is the new album from Moscow’s sludge-doomers Montezuma’s Revenge.

A mesmerising 8-chaptered journey through altered states, labyrinths of slow progressive riffs and swirls of feedback.

Showing the band with reformed sound and regrouped line-up “S.W.I.M.” is a follow up to the 2017 LP offering - “Them”.

Having moved from a trio to a 4-piece Montezuma shows up with a new voice, more complex production and tighter grooves. Not surprising, considering the quartet is nothing short of a super-group featuring members from such diverse Moscow acts as The Re-Stoned (psychedelic stoner), Pententacles (ritualistic kraut-drone) and Grizzly Knows No Remorse (southern metal core).

Sonically the album has a side A - side B concept. First four tracks - “Soyux”, “Mine”, “New You” and “Weekend Valhalla” - build a monolith cycle of progressive sludge taking off where Montezuma left on the precious album. However things get funny at the end of Weekend Valhalla when visceral hockey drug-metal in choruses suddenly resolves into slowly lulling waves cold synthetic wind.

Side B continues exploring the other side of cold spectrum with an epic acoustic ballad “Winter” followed up by equally chilling retro wave prequel to the most radio friendly track on the album - “Comfort Of The Sick”.

The album closes off with yet another winter reference: a reimagined version of the band’s early track “Sleeping Beauty” - 8-minute transcending riff-meditation telling the story of the dead snow maiden freezing everything in her path.
