about

The second Dark Ages forthcoming album “Aegis” is a departure from the first eponymous album. Bandleader Tom Shad decided that it should be a vocal album . He recruited singers from many different styles and backgrounds to write melodies and lyrics to his and Nick Didkovsky’s compositions . They were performed and , to some degree, improvised with the new band which adds Jacob Sunshine on guitar, Colin Marston on six string bass and Alex Cohen on drums to original members Tom Shad and Nick Didkovsky.

The first single has Jerry Lang from Poison idea singing the A side and Cynthia Sley of the Bush Tetras singing the B-side.

The second single features Ben Spees and Oliver Campbell of Mercury Tree on lead vocals and backing screams on "Sticky" respectively.

The remaining five tracks are, for now, a mystery but seven more vocalists will be featured on those tracks
.

lyrics

Firepit

You crawl back to your sacred mother
Lay lips onto her spiral udder
Climb the beanstalk
Ape the moonwalk
But you can’t dance, motherfucker

It’s in this firepit
Where your pyre fits

Snap, bubble, crack, pop.
Snap, snap, bubble, crack, pop.
Snap, bubble, crack, pop.
Snap, snap, bubble, crack, pop.

You crawl back to your sacred widow
Lay dead mice on her velvet pillow
Don’t break bread with me it shatters
So hang your hat on that in tatters
Nothing I can say now matters to you

It’s in this firepit
Where your pyre fits

It’s in this vacuum hose
Where your eyeball goes
And your ragged breathing slows
