(Pork)

When the Devil starts to feel remorse,he takes a good hard look at himself and realises this whole 'world's a mess' business was inevitable.Not funny,but better for you.

(lyrics)

It is said that I gave myself to the ruin of man
Denied access to heaven-I strike in all ways that I can
For cycles swim through time and space yet I remain the same
For I'm slowly growing more forlorn at those who say my name

Out-out in the real world
I choose a human mark
Howling for the Rapture
Sworn to the dark

A gentle push from far within was all it took
To set the primal charges and place man upon my hook
For God has failed humanity and I think I pushed too hard
Remembering the sentence for my heathen disregard

Out-out in the real world
I choose a human mark
Howling for the Rapture
Sworn to the dark

BURN FURNACE BURN
LEPER SO SAINTLY
SINFUL REMAINS
DANCE IN THE FLAMES

Howling for the Rapture
Sworn to the dark

Knife Goes In. . .

The birth of the universe,detailed in stunning technicolour form.

(lyrics)
Morning in the void
The eye opened,saw nothing and closed
Across the gaping wound of time
A shard of life crept forward
What was was all there was

Time was nothing then
All things beginning
Shaping the void

Vacant nothingness
A vast a yawning space
Made real by the motherless child
A life as young as this universe
She's carving a path through the darkness

Time was nothing then
All things beginning
Shaping the void

Origins that creep into life
Slowly as the landscape shifts
As light begins to filter through
Illuminating the emptiness
THE EMPTINESS

Time was nothing then
All things beginning
Shaping the void

HOPE IS BORN
BUT DEATH SNEAKS IN THROUGH THE BACK DOOR
GENESIS IS RISEN FROM THIS

Bowtie

A royal charge who would be king placates his impossible rage with murder in the family name.

2011 has seen ThirtyOne stamp their mark firmly on the face of the British alt-rock scene. Their debut EP and accompanying video, set a clear precedent of what to expect from this band in the near future.

Having only recently completed their line up, ThirtyOne have already been taking ambitious strides. Their huge live sound, exuberant stage presence and sense of humour recently won them the 2010 Exeter Battle of the Bands, propelling them to the forefront of the local music scene. National airplay has also resulted in positive reviews from the likes of Amazing Radio's Aaron Philips, describing ThirtyOne as: 'Really odd, but very cool, with powerhouse vocals. Very clever, with prog elements... Absolutely rocks to the core. This is full-on metal at it's very best.' All of these characteristics can be found on ThirtyOne's EP, 'The Great Wide Hope', and in the accompanying video directed by rising star Carl Shanahan.

Recently, ThirtyOne have been busy working with artists and promoters to stage shows for themselves and other local lights, bolstering the scene at home and around the UK. Their eclectic, yet accessible style allows them to hang with the heaviest and party with the best of them. Expect genre-bending rock, bristling with swagger, inventive musicianship and a record that will catch you off guard and drag you along for the ride.
