FEEDING CROWS

Pour out and seep in,
Between the cracks of this pompous skin,
Come back and leave stains,
Upon this permanent plastic page,

I'd relent but I just can't spare it,
Hollow out my lungs - I can bear it,
I've been looking for rapture, baby,
These old gods have gotten lazy,

Tie my stars to your endless cycle,
Spin me 'round 'till I spit denial,
I've been craving some outside forces,
To come and take away my choices,


It's a feeling so satisfying,
Knowing I'll still be here when you're gone,
I imagine that it's terrifying,
Knowing they've caught on to what you are,

In the matters of the empty-hearted,
Best to tear it open and fill it up,
We can get you some to get it started,
But ever after you will never find enough,


I give up and get down,
To stay relevant in this pointless town,
And I'm lost to the waves,
The mistakes we take to make our escape,

Seven shades of selfish violence,
I've been in heat to get ultraviolet,
Feeding crows won't make this better,
When these demons flock together,

Fuck my picture - just blur the lines,
Don't go questioning my design,
I've been right where I'm supposed to be,
Throwing away this destiny,


The devil won't sell so you dig down deeper,
When the only option isn't cheaper,

Feeding Crows (Official Single)

LAST FEW DAYS

How cruel be the jokes of gods,
Closing our story and just moving on,
Chosen by a twisted hand,
To burn the world and hope they'll understand

Does it feel like we're going backwards?
One foot forwardand past disaster,

I've been waiting and I'm so hollow,
I found rapture - will you follow?


Heart stay focused,
I'm so close,
This infinite feels real,

Remark these angels,
Reborn mangled,
Find no judgement here,


Why can't we be fine,
Circling our time,
Around this black hole drain,
In our last few days?

How long can we last,
Throwing stones inside an hourglass?

At least we found our time and space,

Last Few Days

AS REFRACTED / SO REBORN

Hey, are you okay?
We've been hearing things about you while you've been away,
It seems that you've written in a character change,
And all these wretches seem to know you by a different name,

It's all good,
To feel like you'll never be who you should,
So go on,
Finally realize you are your god,

It's a feeling so satisfying,
Knowing I'll still be here when you're gone,
I imagine that it's terrifying,
Knowing they've caught on to what you are,

Keep howling 'till the moon takes notice,
Enough noise might wake the dead inside,
Keep living little frozen lotus,
Grow up as the one behind the eyes,

Child of evil,
Wannabe hero,
Talk through your ego,
And they'll keep you around,

But why are am I like this,
Thunder and Crisis,
If I survive it,
I'm tearing it out,

Here in this place,
We go backwards,
Far from where we want to be,
And where we were,

As Refracted / So Reborn

DIVINITY & DISSONANCE

When posed to an end,
Are we left to question,
What of this existence,
Was worth the mention?

Where did the past diverge,
And terminate our potential?
Who spoke for the universe,
And declared it sequential?

Why don't you move?
Why do you cry?
Why don't you choose?
Why do you lie?


How do I consolidate,
A lifetime of perspective mistakes?
Would we have remained,
If we had only stayed away?

Why do you leap?
Why don't you learn?
Why do you bleed?
Why don't you burn?

Why do you quit?
Why don't you try?
Why do you live?
Why don't you die?


When the flames start getting higher,
Kid, follow the footsteps,
Remember why you came here,
Remember why you left,

If you believe that you deserve it,
Then so it shall be,
Don't you know,
Intention beats destiny?


Have you found it's an open ocean,
Sailing off from the shores of ignorance?
Soul trapped in repeating motion,
Between divinity and dissonance,

Keep howling 'till the moon takes notice,
Enough noise might wake the dead inside,
Root down little frozen lotus,
To grow up as the one behind the eyes,


Is there such a thing,
As a debt to a god?
Did they reshape the image,
Or was it us all along?

If morality is nurture,
Is nature façade?
Perhaps we're all alone out here,
Could we have all been wrong?

Why don't you flow?
Why do you stain?
Why don't you grow?
Why do you slay?

Why do you bark?
Why don't you change?
Why do you harm?
Why don't you save?


When the smoke starts getting thicker,
Kid, focus on your breath,
Remember why you came here,
Remember why you left,

If you feel like you deserve it,
Then so it shall be,
Insignificance,
Forming infinities,


Recall now if you ever,
Believed in anything at all,
Most cats think they're feared and clever,
Until they're left hanging on by just the claws,


The devil didn't sell,
So you dug down deeper,
Now you're hanging off the edge,
Shaking down the reaper,

They caught on to what you are,
And now you're feeling weaker,
But learn from supernova stars,
Death can be a teacher,

11:57,
Reach up and find heaven,
Everybody preach,
That they've learned their lesson,

So at 12:09,
We might feel divine,
Dancing in the fires, 
Of refracted light,

The Cartoon Band You Never Wanted. 

Mad Queen is a band of interdimensional hooligans spanning the mediums of sound, page, and spacetime. From synthesizers to jazz chords, these cookie-crafting elves grind tirelessly to bake up an intergalactic revolution against the tyrannical rule of genre-boxes and conventional commercialism.

Mad Queen specializes in synthesizing ingredients from any style of music into a Progressive Fusion Dance-Dish to shake the palette of even the most cynical critic. Following footsteps in the likes of The Gorillaz, Coheed and Cambria, and Linkin Park, Mad Queen takes heavy influence from Jazz, Disco, Metal, Synthwave, and Hip-Hop, and wraps-up all their tracks in a Progressive Rock tortilla drenched in Anthemic Pop elements to create a wall of aggressive repeating grooves and timelessly catchy melodies. They carefully weave a narrative into (most of) their songs illustrating the universe of The Hero Spectrum comics written by Mad Queen’s boisterous frontman, Nox Malzahn. They have been lovingly described as “The Elevator Music of Purgatory” and “Adderall Study Music” by random people on the street and certified line-cooks.

The Hero Spectrum comics follow the story of Chess, Domino, Gammon, and Solitaire, four super-powered bank-robbers, as they attempt to save their dying world, Haventia, from being swallowed by a black hole while simultaneously dodging the noose-tied puppet strings of The Twelve Tyrants and The Old Gods. A symbolically rich literary journey exploring the concepts of humanity, divinity, freewill, nihilism, and the colors of the spectrum between Hero and Villain. Also lots of guns and magic! Stay tuned as the epic tale begins to unfold in Winter of 2021. 

 

Conceived in the deserts of Oregon, and given life in its valleys, Mad Queen has been defending their western coastal home from the forces of silence since 2017. Their ranks are made up by the likes of Nox Malzahn (lead vocals), Tesla Veer (synth), Lazlo Armada (drums), Kaia Rose (bass), Prov Namesk (guitar), Genesis Sine (additional instruments), and Arcade Oghma (piano). They team-up daily with like-minded heroes across the globe by crafting custom aural weaponry for use by other independent artists in the struggle against generic production. Meanwhile, Mad Queen manically hacks away at their own massive Progressive Pop record for release later this year.

Mad Queen can be found under the name @madqueenmusic on most social media platforms (links above) and has a Patreon almost exclusively for buying ramen. Demo tracks and commercial beats are posted to their Soundcoud daily, and their EP, Birth Sun of a Mask-Maker, can now be streamed on Spotify, Apple, Amazon, and Bandcamp. If you’re interested in having an instrumental track commissioned, feel free to contact us for quotes and a consultation.
