The Subhuman by The Bastard Sons of Dennis with Dave Danielli.
Album: Cruelty to Blues

The Subhuman is a cover song.
Originally released by Blue Öyster Cult on their 1974 Secret Treaties album. 

Music: E. Bloom
Lyrics: S. Pearlman

Copyright © 1974 Columbia Music.

This arrangement by The Bastard Sons of Dennis.
Inspiration drawn from the versions on the 1974 Secret Treaties studio album, and the 1975 live BOC album On Your Feet Or On Your Knees.

The Subhuman was one of The Bastard Sons of Dennis's most progressive songs. Chuck would tune his guitar to a drop-D for the interpretation.

This particular version owes much to the wonderful live On Your Feet Or On Your Knees recording, where guitarist Donald Roeser demonstrates his absolute mastery of the melodic minor.

Within this cover there is a lot of guitar soloing. It is all highly definitive and would be performed more-or-less identically by The Bastard Sons of Dennis every time. Both Chuck and Derek take solos.

Performers:
Derek Broom - vocals, guitar
Chuck Palmer - guitar
Dave Danielli - bass

Recorded and engineered at Wud Records Studio One, exeter uk.
Bass recorded in north devon, November 2023.
Produced, mixed and mastered by George Davies 2025.

There is a live video of The Bastard Sons of Dennis performing The Subhuman. Due to some disruption when an audience member fell against the camera person, it comes in two parts.

This will be the final tribute to Magma, who mean so much to us. Our daughter stands at the gates of war, holding her head high alongside her partner and their six-month-old baby girl. We must sing against war, against chaos—and for humanity to break free from this infernal cycle of destruction. This is a cry of invocation against the forces of Thanatos and the weaknesses that lead us to abandon our instincts for life. We must carry this strength within us—forever!

Oh, Cassandra, seer of the night,
You saw the war, you knew the fight.
Murdered for the truth you told,
Now the storm begins to roll.

[Kobaïan Chant – Pre-Chorus]
"Zëss! Mührdah kréh nah…
Dün wälda, sëh kobaïa…"
(Rising male choir in layered harmonies)

[Chorus]
Oh, the fury, oh, the dread,
Burning bright where hate was fed.
At the gates, we stand and stare,
Into the dark, into despair.

[Verse 2]
Two lost tribes, a fractured land,
A sickness grown by vengeful hands.
Like a tumor, old and deep,
Woken now from cursed sleep.

[Kobaïan Chant – Interlude]
"Ïssa! Dün mahntör gah…
Kräehn dëh lüms, zühn dëh fah!"
(Call-and-response between female lead and male choir, rhythmic & primal)

[Chorus]
Oh, the fury, oh, the dread,
Burning bright where hate was fed.
At the gates, we stand and stare,
Into the dark, into despair.

[Verse 3]
The borders hum with silent rage,
A script rehearsed, a bloodstained stage.
No reason left, just hollow cries,
Beneath the weight of poisoned skies.

[Kobaïan Bridge – Climactic Surge]
"YÜH! Mahktë gah rï-ïa…
Söhlm dün wëhr, kobaïa!
ZANG! Lüm dëh trëh-ëh…
Cassandra… WËHDAH!"
(Chaotic choir crescendo with saxophone wails and distorted guitars)

[Final Chorus – Hybrid]
Oh, the fury ("Zëss!"), oh, the dread ("Kréh nah!"),
Burning bright where hate was fed ("Dün wälda!").
At the gates, we stand and stare…
Into the dark—"KOBAÏA!"

[Outro – Whispered Kobaïan Lament]
"Cassandra sleeps… (Söhlm dëh fah)
No one learns… (Zühn dëh lüms)…"
(Fades into dissonant brass and gong)

* For DIY musicians:

Looking to grow your fanbase? Here's a proven strategy for success. It's a bit time-consuming at first because you need to work at it often. However, the awesome results will make it worth your while:

http://www.wudrecords.co.uk/miscellaneous/be-discovered-on-social-media

That article was published in March 2017. While some of the links may no longer work, the theory absolutely will. Try it for yourself!

* Unfortunately...

Due to brexshit, broken britain, rip-off britain, corruption, lies and bias in the media, bigotry, racism, intolerance, polarisation, the fact that some of our family members would not be allowed to remain post-brexit, state-sponsored child trafficking (yes, that's right, we said it - it's pretty shocking, start reading from here if you don't believe it: https://forced-adoption.com/), an increasing sense of frustration and exasperation, and general total weariness of being treated with nothing but derision, ignorance and contempt by the entire shebang since the early 80s, we decided enough was enough and moved our entire operation from brexeter in the uk to begin our grand brexodus in 2017. We are now brefugees, living in brexile very near the border of the Czech Republic, Austria and Germany. If you live in (the crumbling remains of) the uk, do yourself a favour and leave. The upgrade in life quality will blow your mind.

* What do we stand for as a label?

We support all independent musicians who are doing something we find interesting. Our team members all have formal music education qualifications.

We are against corporate brainwash muzak, their puppet friends in the mass media, and many other corporate activities. We will fight their desecration of music until either it stops or we die. 

We believe in helping others in the face of corrupt laws and a broken system. We are pro democracy, green energy and free speech.

We're politically liberal. We cannot support the republicans, maga or gun violence in the usa. We don't see there's any real difference, other than in name, between the christian far right in the USA and the taliban in Afghanistan.

In the uk we are broadly pro LibDem/Green/Labour/SNP. We are VERY anti-tory, bnp, ukip, and any of their friends and associates. We have no trust at all in the uk right wing press monopoly and the bbc. Beware the bbc and its claims of neutrality. It is the propaganda mouthpiece of the tory party. It even charges a propaganda tax called the licence fee. But we like Test Match Special and Radio 6, so does that make us hypocrites...? Hmm.

We support independence for Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and Cornwall. We support the individual and the underdog. We are anti-putin and his war, and pro-Ukraine.

Please notice the careful use of capitals. Capital letters imply respect!

We're only interested in the colour of your soul. Not your skin, hair or socks.

We like cricket! Most of us support Somerset County Cricket Club.
