Hero Of The Illusion
05:10
|

|
by silver sails they come
the rising tide of war
grand assault galloping through the stars
invincible force manifests to take arms
a hero you may be
but this is only an illusion
into the starlit night
from the fathomless depths below
ageless light
we shall know
gaze through the eye of time
a second sight is born
far beyond the limit of the sun
our time's run it's course now converge into one
a hero you made me
but this is only an illusion
into the starlit night
from the fathomless depths below
ageless light
we shall know

Wolfbane
04:46
|
|||
|
silent darkness across the land
we found no help at the slaughtered lamb
and slowly I fell
into this night
I prey for the end
I prey for wolfbane
the beast of these moors
is stalking the night
howling for blood
no end in sight
wolfbane
just close your eyes
take your last breath
run to the light
this is the end
within my heart a horror now unfolds
now drains the light of my mortal soul
and now once again
the hunger begins
they'll prey for their death
the tearing of skin
wolfbane
the beast of these moors
is stalking the night
howling for blood
no end in sight
wolfbane
just close your eyes
take your last breath
run to the light
this is the end

Lonesome Gambler
04:19
|
|||
|
another night you feel it in your bones
in this heartless town you can't escape the cold
can't quite recall just how it all began
walking in the rain just a lost broken man
another line on my face
this night is gone without a trace
lonesome gambler
out of luck but the night is calling
midnight chancer
the die is cast down to the wire
lonesome gambler
running low please take me higher
midnight chancer
the games that we play
the neon lights the seeds have now been sown
coursing though my veins is the burning heavy load
now I recall just where went it all wrong
every day the same just a sad and lonesome song
another line from this case
this night is gone without a trace
lonesome gambler
out of luck but the night is calling
midnight chancer
the die is cast down to the wire
lonesome gambler
running wild please take me higher
midnight chancer
the games that we play

Turning The Wheel
05:31
|
|||
|
there is a silence at the top of this hill
and yet their calling answers me still
within the fortress the dreaming lord shall die
ride through the black gate
across a sliver sky
visions through scarlet eyes
lead us through the sacred night
cast the spell to bind the seal
hand of god shall turn the wheel
as we wade in the currents of time
high on black winds the great bell shall chime
within the darkness the righteous storm unfolds
returns to life when the ancient tale is told
visions through scarlet eyes
lead us through the sacred night
cast the spell to bind the seal
hand of god shall turn the wheel
on and on and on we go
as above so below
cast the spell to bind the seal
hand of god shall turn the wheel

about
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present a brand-new EP from Australia’s SPECTRE, Lonesome Gambler, on CD, 12” vinyl, and cassette tape formats. The CD and tape versions will include five bonus tracks from the band’s preceding singles and splits.
SPECTRE is the sterling heavy metal vison of Will Spectre. Formed in 2017, the band made its recorded debut that summer with the two-song Silver Invaders / Stand Alone single on the cult Heavy Chains label, which DYING VICTIMS released on 7” vinyl later that year. SPECTRE’s primary influences are heavy metal and hard rock of the late ’70s and early ‘80s, and they continued that streak with the Hard Attacks digital single in 2018. Four years would pass before the next SPECTRE recording, the two-song Drifter. On that record, Will Spectre was joined by his heavy friends Jake Glas (Outcast/Teuton) on vocals and David Harrington-George (The Wizar'd/Tarot) on bass. Expanding their purist palette, here did SPECTRE sprinkle spices from Will Spectre’s other musical conjurings – namely, The Wizar'd, Tarot, Dracula, and Crypt Vapor.
Despite its brief length, Drifter was undoubtedly a pivotal recording for SPECTRE, and now the duo of Will Spectre and David Harrington-George return with arguably their best and bravest record yet, Lonesome Gambler. With the average length around five minutes per track, the four songs comprising Lonesome Gambler display an “epic compactness” which wholly suits the moodier material here. Taking the bathos and pathos of its predecessor further, SPECTRE conjure a mystical realm where private-press NWOBHM, dark AOR, and even early deathrock reside: the rocking is measured but not too hard, the melodies are melancholic but not totally depressing, and back on the mic, Spectre’s vocals are somehow anthemic and sagely simultaneously. The vintage synths color these road/life/space-weary ruminations with tastefully dramatic effect, putting SPECTRE squarely on that precipice between 1979 and 1980, equally excited about and fearful of the future. It’s a subtle refinement altogether, but one that proves there’s plenty of magick still to be mined.
Bringing the past into the present, the CD and tape versions of Lonesome Gambler will include five bonus tracks – all from the band’s aforementioned short-lengths, thereby making this a currently complete discography of SPECTRE. Roll the dice and turn the wheel!
