Deadweights is the new single by Brighton's Seadog to be released as a limited edition 7" lathe cut vinyl on Austerity Records. Produced by Jack Wolter, the track features the vocal harmonies of Jack and Lily Wolter, both from the band Penelope Isles, while Jack also drums on the track. Deadweights is taken from Seadog's forthcoming album, Internal Noise, recorded at Bella Union's Brighton studio and due to be released this autumn on Austerity Records.

The song's theme encapsulates a sense of relentless heaviness that the burden of insomnia can inflict on a mind that refuses to shut down. Having suffered from insomnia for many years, vocalist Mark wanted to express the type of feeling the body can experience when you're emotionally and physically exhausted from sleep deprivation, and it can feel like you're stuck in a rut that's hard to climb out of.

Seadog - Deadweights

My album draws inspiration from Tonalism, an art movement known for its tranquil and ethereal landscapes. Through ambient and chill beats, I paint sonic vistas of serene melodies, subtle harmonies, and gentle rhythms. Like Tonalist painters, I seek to evoke a sense of calm and introspection in listeners, transporting them to a dreamy world of tranquility. Each track mirrors the movement's soft brushstrokes, creating a harmonious journey that reflects the essence of Tonalism's meditative beauty. Embrace the soothing ambiance and immerse yourself in the canvas of sound I've woven.

This is Chapter 5 of our Elvenland saga. We Hope you enjoy :)

As Raewyn ventures along the dark tunnel towards the Portal, she seems to hear whispered warnings echoing around her. Despite her trepidation, she slowly enters, but not before calling on the Ancient Ones to guide her through.

Inside the entrance she encounters the evil & terrifying Tresur Heldros, The Master of the Abyss and, as he speaks, she can hear the wails and laments of tortured souls who ventured there before her.

However, Raewyn's Elven faith is unconquerable, and, as she bravely prepares to meet whatever fate awaits her, she remembers her ancient teachings.

Chained in a cave by the abyss, she patiently waits....

A Scavenge Across Charred Acres

Blacked Out is the Light

Within my ear...a breezy whisper
curl my hair with their soulful ways
I gave chase to the fleeting voices
anxious of a message...so grave
yea
and I've lost touch with my peaceful nature
for in my bowl I've found a blade...
and I'm told of a dreadful omen
and I am sorrowed by the threat of change
cause this ancient burled bowl 
holds the old antler ladle
carved with a spell of love
the charms of laughter
and the peace of a tempered table
and O
the omen of that blade...a knife
was left to bathe...with disruption it's intention...
it's look of condescension
and it'll cut you if it's let to stay
yea
I seek the owner of that strife
the one so troubled to bathe that knife
cause...I've lost touch with my peaceful nature...for in my bowl
I found a blade

One of many compacts preserved in Wampum is the depiction of the agreement among neighboring Nations to make no lasting or harmful actions to the air, water, or land with the thought always of the 'faces to come' A brokered peace for future generations...One Bowl One Spoon

A Knife Was Left To Bathe

Keep it Mint

why?

[Verse 1]
First to arrive, I wait in the hush,
White steel and silence my constant hush.
The air grows still when the flowers fall,
I name each life, I remember them all.
Past the edge where the living break,
No turning back, no breath to take.
The hour calls, the circle’s complete,
I walk the path where endings meet.

[Pre-Chorus]
Through the hollow wind, I hear them plead,
But nothing can alter what must proceed.

[Chorus]
Step through the veil, cross the line,
Leave behind what once was thine.
Every empire, every prayer will fade,
I’m the keeper of the debt you’ve paid.
No mercy left, no promise to keep,
Follow me into endless sleep.

[Verse 2]
The weight of the fallen pulls on my blade,
Each vow forgotten, each moment decayed.
I’ve seen the strong forget their name,
The boundless reach ends just the same.
No plea, no breath can turn me away,
Your hour is done, the toll must be paid.
I knock once more—the silence replies,
I lead them on where the daylight dies.

[Pre-Chorus]
Regret dissolves in the river’s bind,
Nothing remains for the world behind.

[Chorus]
Step through the veil, cross the line,
Leave behind what once was thine.
Every empire, every prayer will fade,
I’m the keeper of the debt you’ve paid.
No mercy left, no promise to keep,
Follow me into endless sleep.

[Bridge]
I’ve carved this road through dust and bone,
Guiding the lost to what’s unknown.
Power is dust when time has bled,
I lead the way where all are led.

[Chorus (Extended)]
Step through the veil, cross the line,
Leave behind what once was thine.
Every empire, every prayer will fade,
I’m the keeper of the debt you’ve paid.
No mercy left, no promise to keep,
Follow me into endless sleep.

[Outro]
This is the end, where all roads cease,
I lead them home—to silent peace.
