Seelie court held by the brook Photographs the children took Looming forest fraught with fright Slender shadows in the night Wanderers entranced by glamour Taken in by eerie powers Evergreen eternal magic Synthesizing with the tragic Figments of imagination Black-eyed children, unseen dangers Memories of war and violence Lycanthropes and phantom hikers Grief creates a strange enchantment Opens minds and questions science Long lost spectres of the dead Creatures creeping from the womb of dread

Watch seven nights Sacred rites of the neon demon Wait for the time, Sacrifice to the bleeding screen and Falsify the information Persistent proliferation Untruth and exaggeration Screaming in an echo chamber Digital dissemination Preys upon imagination Intellectual castration Canonize the fabrication Heed my words, flee the herd, don't believe a word the bird's telling you Here's a tip, flip the switch, read a book and cut out the bullshit I think I need to get out The creeping spectre of doubt I think I need to get out I need to start right over Can't talk but compelled to shout This shit is getting far-out I think I need to get out I need to start right over Ignorance is bliss, ignorance is bliss, ignorance is Ignorance is bliss, ignorance is bliss, ignorance is Savagery

We are the Pig Men We live in holes and We kidnap virgins, from the surface We sacrifice them To Poseidon Hail Poseidon! Rise up Pig Men! In the darkness eating hearts and violating buxom ladies Opening a broken rib-cage, vicious relics of a lost age Hiding from the light in caverns dark as night We rise as twilight falls from ancient and hallowed halls Shunned by the modern world we harvest comely girls To use in obscene rites, we're evil troglodytes, oh my... Climbing out of the well, we sniff and smell the air We howl and lick our lips, subsurface misogynists And down beneath the Earth, our shaman recite the words Of necronomic evil and watch the bodies start to swell

There's something in the woods That thirsts for human blood Some say a hellish wolf Others the Brereton Dog The Hednesford Hellhound The Slitting Mill Bastard Or maybe, grim and hushed Our very own Bigfoot Homegrown hairy ape man Hominid or demon? Cannock sasquatch, Cannock sasquatch English woodwose Footprints in the forest Bringing in the tourists Cannock sasquatch, Cannock sasquatch English woodwose Do you dare believe it? Animal or spirit? Cannock sasquatch, Cannock sasquatch English woodwose Menacing the walkers Dogging hotspot stalker Cannock sasquatch, Cannock sasquatch English woodwose

VANGUARDISMO EXTREMO CHANNEL:
"The Chase continues from where its predecessor left off and you can still drift headfirst into the vibrant current.It's an amazing release. It has that 60/70s sound whilst maintaining a modern sense about it. Strong devotional vibes on the album really just polish off an already great package."

AURAL DELIGHTS RADIO SHOW:
"Back to Stoke-on-Trent as Cai Brown returns in fine form as the wonderful Tomistoma. Check out his back catalogue too, its rather good!"

DOOM HEART BLOG:
"Marvelous piano-led, gothic-tinged, heavy psych prog rock / doom."
