A Sneak Peak at a new song from Energy Alchemist's Upcoming Album "The Broadcast"

Lyrics:
a time that life conceived
one of eternal peace
then the walls  came down
lets the fire burn inside

and as his life unfolds
watching moments pass him by
she will see his call
and embrace the change that falls

we will call the lion
that sleeps deep within
to watch the land fall
collapse into itself     

a moment spreads it's wings
and pauses the clock 

a blast so strong
it breaks the bonds of life 
and peals away our strength

and now we arrive
half slain and left undead
you now control our brains
and betray this life

I hope it panned out
I hope it was worth the pain
I hope you delivered
a world of lies to yourself

we will call the lion
that sleeps deep within
to watch the land fall
collapse into itself

Just Ask Volume 2

Lyrics:

Alone in Space with the lifeless trace
that welcomes me home 
A single blink in the distance 
A flash that lights the world 

Etched in time 
within my mind 

Alone in Space with the lifeless trace 
that welcomes me home 
A single blink in the distance 
A flash that lights the world 

Guide me to an unknown world 
where the tides embrace the lives we've lost 

The sky pours the moonlight out 
Etched in time 
within my mind

Ghost In The Machine

Awaken The Dreamers

Tangled within myself
an unreachable truth that I have felt
lingers inside my brain
and taunts me to regain

my passions left out on the road
in the pouring rain

As I peak on this trip
through existence


the fallacy they wrote in stone
crumbles beneath my feet

it held the galaxy on a throne 
to fall to its knees

an awakening for all to see
a spiraling of the sea

has come to be 
developing me

its all i see
it'll set me free

A Peak Into Existence

The world spins so slowly
a ripple in a blur on your mind
your eyes are closed
you mind is slow

there's a choice 
and a chance
if you stand up

reach inside your lonely casket
and bring to life what they have killed
step outside the empty box 
that holds your soul in deep regret

we've fallen to the bottom
been planned from the beginning 
once again forgotten

Vanished

I am the Light 
you can't look me in my irises I am the highest up
I am the I am the Light
I'm ultra violent
I'll annihilate any where
I am the I am the light
I run a choir acquired from higher than out of this earth and dimensions alike
you'd be surprised
I'm fucking bright
I am the light

Get a priest and free all the beasts in me
I ain't got a bit of peace in me
not a little itty bitty piece in me
wanna piece of me
get a piece and unleash on me
get your red beams on me
end it beats me
why they wanna pizza me
and my two buddies so were firing our 3 semis
and anybody to the west or the east of me
pressing me easily resting in peace send a threat? 
I send in my round valley savages 
shout out to each of my Covelo savages
not a dosage of average
income the bringers of ultimate damages
hold you up close and I roast all you amateurs
go ham and just slander your images
till I'm causing you cranial hemorrhages
you'll never witness the way that I am adjust
put down your cameras dammit just hear me
can't no one ever compare to the stamina
animals huffing on Cannabis
cannibals hammer the pussy
eat it like Danimals
enter my city
its animosity
every single person on my turf is a fan of us
and we got fam in Jamaica 
up through the US and Canada, get it?

fuck all these impotent simpletons 
I am omnipotent 
just like limitless 
with a dark diabolical devilishness
showing who's listening that I'm wickedest
Bitch I am infinite! 
since all the way back when I shared my first hit with the Internet! 
Up until present by placing in three of the most recent competitions that I've entered in
hand me them Benjamin's
better pay me upfront buddy I don't give a damn who I'm injuring
bitch I am the best you can't impress me I am the man on these instruments
intricate viciously if you aren't fuckin wit my shit then I cannot fancy your interests
flyer than Icarus
bars sick as if cancerous
everyone dancing is dangerous
gettin every individual around gettin down till they're gettin a cramp in their pancreas
whether a tramp or a lady
a champ or a failure
I'm gonna dampen her Labia
not even Laying my hands on her maybe 
if she already knows of our Band and and its alias
same goes for a radical radius
not just in a handful of areas

I am the Light 
you can't look me in my irises I am the highest up 
I am the I am the Light
I'm ultra violent
I'll annihilate
any where 
I am the I am the light
I run a choir acquired from higher than out of this earth and dimensions alike
you'd be surprised
I'm fucking bright
I am the light

I am the Light 
you can't look me in my irises I am the highest up 
I am the I am the Light
I'm ultra violent
I'll annihilate
any where 
I am the I am the light
I run a choir acquired from higher than out of this earth and dimensions alike
you'd be surprised
I'm fucking bright
I am the light

The Light Feat. Jozzy Fly

They fade away 
despite our pain 
a lie a day 
to feed our brain 

desensitized 
in a world of hate
look through their eyes 
no time to wait 

we can see it 
all around 
as the walls come down 
a nexus of sound and light so profound 
it removes the boundaries 
set into place 
by being a part 
of the human race 

welcome the rain 
there's no stopping it's rein 
just let go of the reigns 
or be rendered insane

The Inevitable Arrival

The First Energy Alchemist Album as a full 3 piece band featuring:

Bill Hankins on Guitar, Vocals, and Programming
Erik Koski on Bass
Matt Heath on Drums

An Unforseen Presence

The day is forgotten 
this story is unforetold 

under the daylight 
is where our lives unfold 

The time we've wasted
just watching life fly by 
watch it all fly by 

embrace the moment 
welcome the open sky 

erase the cold impressions
that remove the light from home 
then the space recalls them
into a plane left undead 

Just as the light embraces them 
an eternal beam so bright 
forces time to replicate them 
to then repeat the day and night

Track 3 on the Reminder EP

Lyrics:

Red flash clouds choking your eyes
Taking day to a dead cold night

We wait for the end
Surprisingly we still stand
Horizon of sin
Melts away the atmosphere

All life slain to pure decay
Reversing the cycle is the day today

We wait for the end
Surprisingly we still stand
Horizon of sin
Melts away the atmosphere

At the scorched world we fall
Judgement hammer crushes all
And the stars will revolve
Without us looking on

Flush away what it can
Burn away across the land
Judgement hammer from the sky
All will eventually die

Flush away what it can
Burn away across the land
Judgement hammer from the sky
All will eventually die

(At the scorched earth)
At the scorched world we fall
(We will all fall)
Judgement hammer crushes all
(Judgement hammer will crush us all)

And the stars will revolve
Without us looking on

Burned images flow through your brain
Fooled science delays your brains decay

Reminder

Flush

Track 1 off the Reminder EP

Lyrics:
As night falls through the garden
land comes crashing down
A sparkle in your eyes
lifts me upside down 

A moment of strength lifts away
The pain you left me enslaved
open my eyes to see you again
One last time 

CHORUS
So hold me down
Not fooling around
The light before us opens up
Inside the whole world erupts
END CHORUS

The sparkle in your eye that blinds me
Reminds me of the times that we
Created our own unique reality

CHORUS

Track 2 on the Reminder EP

Lyrics:
We blindly stray from the path
with corrupted eyes

Time is growing shorter
and so are the years

The Strength is turning all hope is failing
this conclusion is looking clear

greed and its power is far beyond our hands

The lives that you're wasting 
watch them slip away
taking all eternal pleasure

Time is growing shorter 
and so are the years
distracted by the nonsense 
the end grows near

greed and its power is far beyond our hands
our need for more
until the extinction of man

and it blew my mind
you would change the words I say
and I took my time 
it was way too late

And it blew my mind
you would hate the words I say
the way you hate
is way too late

Way Too Late

A work in progress featuring special Guest guitarist Aaron Levesque from Autonomist!

Lyrics:
This world is overwhelming our trust
replacing light with blinding disgust
Everyday I open my eyes to the world
The beauty that I see cannot be fiction

As I peek through the window
the breeze calls my name
It's wondering why I hide

Just as the ocean gives way
and combines our eternal planes
This emotion lets me stay 
in the realm of yesterday

Hide (Acoustic)feat. Aaron Levesque

Straight from the heart of the West Coast Bass movement, GruntWorthy unveils, "A Moment of Clarity," the vibrant new LP from Energy Alchemist. Reppin’ Mendocino County, Energy Alchemist is fronted by producers, Bill Hankins, Tommy Shannon and Jared Gordon. This album has been shaped by collaborations with Dove of Black Rock City Allstars, Top Shelf, Selector Science and Kiran Music Project. Lazer bass lava flows potential into the symphonic spectrum in its stead. Bask in the many aural shades, as nuanced notes merge and scatter before your very eardrums. As“Grace Awakens,” it delicately fractures gentle chords then renders them back into booming clarity, reflecting the album’s ability to be refreshingly eclectic, while remaining true to its “dutty” roots. Their mission: to infuse each reggae fueled, “Sweatin’ Banger” with a spiritual center. Complex rhythms, fat bass lines, and intricate melodies meld together into musical gold—creating higher-level vibration out of bass materials and higher level awareness out of raw human energy. "A Moment of Clarity" is yours to behold, available on Beatport Exclusive March 20, 2012


--- UNTZ.com "A moment of Clarity" Review ---
From the hills of Mendocino County, CA, Energy Alchemist has released its first full-length album on Beatport. Full of glitchy dubstep, heavy basslines, and even a touch of reggae-inspired melodies, A Moment of Clarity is an LP the group describes as “musical gold,” which makes sense for a band of alchemists. After listening to A Moment of Clarity, It’s not difficult to see what members Bill Hankins, Tommy Shannon, and Jared Gordon mean by gold—and clearly contributors Top Shelf, Selector Science, Kiran Music Project, and Dove from Black Rock City Allstars saw it, too. With such a large number of hands crafting this album, the raw energy was certainly there to create the alchemy that the group seeks.
 
Starting with “What Is,” Energy Alchemist quickly dives into a heavy, pulsing bassline and triumphant sirens. Spurts of sparkling synths give the track a spacey feel, as do a dose of wobble and a smattering of fast-paced drums.
 
Balancing grinding wobbles against a bouncing reggae guitar melody, Energy Alchemist meshes two very different sounds on tracks like “Hollow,” and “Freq of Nature.” “Hollow,” even employs a few vocal samples such as, “The wobble is one manifestation that many people have noticed. They don’t know what to make of it,” that then lead into—you guessed it—more harsh wobbles.
 
And by using samples from Top Shelf’s 2011 album The Sound, Energy Alchemist really ups the reggae feel on “Moonlights (Night Patrol),” “Grace Awakes,” and “We Still Burn,” with Top Shelf’s smooth vocals, making sure to contrast the smoothness with blistering glitchy wobbles, bouncing guitar melodies, and more vocal samples.
 
A driving synth melody on “Just Ask,” is accompanied by crashing bass, cymbals, and bubbling synths that lend more back to the spacey feel of “What Is,” than to the reggae feel of some of the other tracks. Similarly, “Sweatin’ Bangers,” starts with ominous strings and transitions into a glitchy melody that leans more toward the galactic vibe of earlier tracks.

Ending with “Sunburst (Kiran Notez Remix),” featuring Selector Science, Energy Alchemist brings together a simple piano melody, banging cymbals, airy synths, groaning wobbles, and many vocal samples including a very distinct ‘uh-oh.’ Balancing reggae influences and a strong love of pulsating wobbly glitch, Energy Alchemist’s debut is a great start with a host of energetic contributors. Simply put, as the group describes it on their Facebook page, “Close your eyes, open your mind, and watch the alchemy take place.”
