What is The Howling West?
The Howling West is a thunderous rock group manifested from the chaos and uncertainty of 2020. The music aims to capture tensions present in the human condition and disillusionment with the world at large. High-octane grooves and gonzo-style lyricism come together to express descent and inspire positive change.

What do they sound like?
If you were to combine progressive metal and funk while separately combining pop-punk and grunge, then aggressively blended the two products together with a jazzy splash of blues, the result would not necessarily sound like The Howling West but fans of The Howling West would have to concede that it sounds eerily familiar. But don't take our word for it, check it out for yourself!

Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates, shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch
Whose flame is imprisoned lightning, and her name; Mother of Exiles. 
From her beacon-hand, glows world-wide welcome.
“Keep your wealthy and fortunate!” she cries. 
And with silent lips proclaims
“Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
Give me your war torn souls from your bustling shores
Send these, the homeless, the oppressed to me,
For I lift my lamp beside the golden door of liberty”

Lyrics:
Whatever happened to the land of the free?
Preaching democracy, dreams of equality
But in reality, the warmachine rule  
These fascist sociopaths can't tell us what to do

NOT MY, NOT MY, ONE PERCENT
NOT MY, NOT MY, GOVERNMENT

Feign buddying up with, the lord above
While they cage and play with those who need the most divine love
Wars and policies, fallacies, robbery
Let's not get caught in their evil schemes.  

NOT MY, NOT MY, ONE PERCENT
NOT MY, NOT MY, GOVERNMENT
NOT MY, NOT MY, PRESIDENT
NOT MY, This is not my WORLD

Wholesale surveillance state can’t sap up my autonomy
No shadowy cabal of cronies wrote my history
Keep your palace on the hill, your tainted legacy
I am my weapon, I will not be sold so easily

NOT MY, NOT MY, ONE PERCENT
NOT MY, NOT MY, GOVERNMENT
NOT MY, NOT MY, NOT MY, PRESIDENT
NOT MY, NOT MY, This is not my WORLD

Lyrics:
How many times will it go unsaid
Blame gone unrequited never settled moral debt

Give one, take one, never was for me
Keep on, keep on, telling that story

To make it about you with every word
Like we can’t separate the heroes from the herd

Two wax wings, blowing off the dust from the crowns of kings
Until the sunrise come, then the fall gets fun

Don’t get caught in the double play
Only one counting anyway
Took a long stride just to hide your denial 
Of fear and pain

Watching, plotting, slowly unfolding
Baiting, berating, telling/twisting that story

To make it about you with every word
Like we can’t separate the heroes from the herd

Keep on, keep on, keep on selling x3 
Keep on selling your lies 

How many times will it go unsaid
Blame gone unrequited never settled moral debt

Give one, take one, never was for me
Keep on, keep on, telling that story

To make it about you with every word
Like we can’t separate the heroes from the herd
To make it about you with every word
Like we can’t separate the heroes from the herd

Heroes And Herds

Lyrics:
One more surface glows as I accept my fever
Impart this perfect vision of my blurry theater
New York minute, country mile, severed instinct
Any measure, any means to drop my patience down the sink

Heavy handed, laissez faire
Consolation is a cross to bear
Moments wasted and washed away
All away, all away

Simple creatures seeking out a path to stasis
Treading light on hollow ground, but who could blame them
Watching fires climb the walls for entertainment
One day comes and one day lost, all complacence, no resolve

Heavy handed, laissez faire
Consolation is a cross to bear
Moments wasted and washed away
All away, all away
All away

All Away

Lyrics:
I look inside me
To the lion's den
eyes peeled before my pride and skeletons
death comes to greet me
my soul in its hands 
my shadows left me... 
noooow…..

Here I am

We’re sold the white lies, bent to the truth 
By something primal too, deep to hide
This faustian bargain, traded our youth
For violence resting inside

Digging at my thoughts 
one by one
Gonna cast them out
one by one

(cause) Here I am

Surrender yourself to the light
let it take you to the otherside
to the otherside
Severe yourself from the pride
Take what’s real and hold it high
and hold it high
Surrennnnnnder 
to, your, self

This hearts a garden, from blood in the sand
the brave have nothing to hide

Digging at my thoughts 
one by one
Gonna cast them out
one by one

Digging at my thoughts 
one by one
Gonna cast them out
one by one

(cause) Here I am

Lion's Den

Lyrics:
Head up on my own this time
Leave the lost behind
Life is coming up to meet you
One day whether you’re dead or alive

I know where I wanna be
I got dreams in front of me 
Swear to leave no stone unturned 
Livin life on my (own) terms

LOTS TO DO BEFORE I DIE
SO I LOOK UP TO THE SKY...

AND, I FEEL I MUST KEEP FIGHTING
THROUGH THE DARKNESS LIKE THE MOON
….. I MUST KEEP FIGHTING
UNTIL I’M HOWLING BACK AT YOU
HOWLING BACK AT YOU

With every mistake I make
Closer to the line
Gettin’ fed up with the song of life lost
Singin so loud from inside

I’ll take my chances
Given the circumstances 
Got a lot of loud talk on the walk 
Just to find my annnnnnnswers

LOTS TO DO BEFORE I DIE
SO I LOOK UP TO THE SKY...

… I KNOW I MUST KEEP FIGHTING
UNTIL WE’RE HOWLING BACK AT YOU
HOWLING BACK AT YOU


Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo’s 

LOTS TO DO BEFORE I DIE
SO I LOOK UP TO THE SKY...

AND, I FEEL I MUST KEEP FIGHTING
THROUGH THE DARKNESS LIKE THE MOON
… I MUST KEEP FIGHTING
UNTIL WE’RE HOWLING BACK AT YOU
HOWLING BACK AT YOU

UNTIL WE’RE HOWLING BACK AT YOU
HOWLING BACK AT YOU

Howling Back At You
