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

STICKY

As you were, my lord
As you’ll be
We’d never laugh at how you eat

Finish your langoustines
Finish your langoustines

Slur your love language
in this fog of war
Is this fog smoke?
Is this smoke fire?

You take the petty cash
So petty
Tell me, who gets the lash?
Not you

Now I’m glued
Like I’m made of melted horses
Who’d all carry me to you
Yes they’d carry me to you

And I’ll make you sticky
I’ll make you sticky
I’ll make you sticky too

Which side did you butter my biscuit on?
Now that biscuit’s gone
All gone
You’re a heavy setter
Name forgetter
Game, set, match
You lose

First the widowmaker
Then the widowtaker
