When we wrote ‘Dry Blood’ it was 2016, and we were working on our album Gunblade Blues volume II.  Times were different, we  were going a thousand miles an hour with DANTE HH and had many hopes and dreams for the future.

 We wrote this song thinking about leaving our beloved Bogota, Colombia and moving to the city of Los Angeles, California which we did in 2017. Back then it was a song about leaving an old life behind. 
As the years and many adventures went by and we found ourselves living a new life , learning to live as immigrants in a new city , a new country that welcomed us warmly we left the song in our vaults: it just wasn’t the right time to release it anymore.

A toast for lost loves
A toast for old friends

In the wake of the covid 19 pandemic, the band’s life changed. 
The world was put on pause, then reignited in a way but the old ‘normal’ was dead. In the midst of building the ‘new’ normal on the corpse of the old one the lives of the members of the band that came aboard this adventure changed as well. Some remain, some have left, there still is massive love & respect amongst everyone.  
It seemed fitting, to release a song that gave tribute to that span of 6 years where the band had many adventures in both countries: Colombia and the United States which both have embraced us in different ways.  With everything that has happened, the circumstances have added layers to the song and an amazing video directed by Luis Fernando Mora making it a statement about friendship, introspection and life.

Dry Blood is then a song about death and rebirth, of winter and spring, a song about change.

A homeless person stole's a dump truck and takes it for a ride// Habitante de la calle se roba una volqueta y la lleva de paseo por la ciudad.

Art is not a commodity. Art should be an explosive substance that changes the world. Art connects you with others. It’s a way to speak mind to mind, eye to eye. It’s a way to combat loneliness. It’s a way to confront the pain of innocence betrayed. Real Art is self evident. It’s intense, exiting, enchanting and unsettling. Art is a weapon to confront our conditions. Radical and revolutionary elements in rock n roll are not an aberration. They are what rock n roll is for. And so here we are. We are coming. We are Hellhounds.

This is the 4th song of our 2020 DYI EP all self recorded, mixed by us live from our Rehearsal space in downtown Los Angeles. 
lyrics

The world's a wheel that's turning alive with flames
Geometries of chaos against triangular games
in a flaming circle we burn our lives away
The toilet  paper currencies lead the way

Bats and pangolins, peacock feathers soup
Dollars, euros, pounds pay with yuans too
you can take a selfie while you eat your stew
In between the real and the virtual, virality looms

Karma Dharma fire is raining from above
Inside the pyramid eye with no where else to go

All things fall apart, for new things to grow
There's no turning back, it's a reset storm
Zombie cultures die, as counterculture glows
Fuck their jails, fuck their greed, fuck their graveyards of the soul

Karma Dharma fire is raining from above
Inside the pyramid eye with nowhere else to go
Behind the greed and selfishness you can feel a soul
In the spiritually backruptworld compassion is the truth

Can we make a new world from the one that's left
Let's invent the future, no time to waste
Surfin these waves of change while the world's aflame
Let's try and break the circles inside the world's pain

Information's flashpoint zooms and looms
Masses have the power and the children have the floor
Aligned together for our next break through 
We're all flaming petals of the burning flower's soul

Mandala On Fire

A world cries in flames
I need another glass of whisky
We're all petals in a dying flower
A memory told me about it last night
While we poured tall glasses of wine
I wonder if she will come tonight?
Or am I going mad?
A city growls and hisses
I take another shot and listen
The pain of the world screaming
Inside my head showed scheming

Do you have something sweet to say
About turning water to wine
About looking for redemption
About praying for a sign

Hear the pain of the world screaming
Inside your head shadows screaming
World is screaming

Hear the pain of the world screaming
Inside your head shadows screaming
World is screaming

Sickness in my head
Virus got my brain
Freedom to be chased
If you can find your way

Lucifer spoke with me on the road that night
About the resurrection
and my plans
I went to the well to drink with him
to better understand
This world in chaos

Does morality have a meaning
Are we playing Shakespeare
Karma is a blind machine
Waiting at the crossroads

Sickness in our heads
Virus got our brains
Freedom to be chased
If we can find our way

Am I sitting naked in the shower
Or am I drinking with my shadows?
We could draw a map of creation itself if 
we wanted to take the time
But instead we buried our treasure in a field
of exploding mines

Mercy of the wind
Bent before the trees
i died and returned

Will I be free
Will you be free
Are we alive or

At this hour of the fallen
In this breathless nameless place
I head someone say we crossed the line 
but they've long since been erased
A million shattered truths staring blindly in our face
That the sea is no longer glowing and long ago had been replaced for black.
