Freedom at first sight Welcome to a new world Welcome to your home Please feel free and happy But just a little while Welcome to your new rules Welcome to our world Please conform a little Give up your former life Where do we go from here now? Where have we been before? Freedom at first sight Freedom without rights

Droneland Woe woe woe High high high Swarms of metal hornets Falling from the sky Low low low Better duck and hide Sent by "friends" to attack our "foe" But they kill our tribe Hear them coming in the evening light (run inside) Now they're coming ´til the morning light (run inside) Woe woe woe Down down down Bringers of extinction, Please recall the drones Run run run Die die die ! Hide from friendly fire, Killed by allied drones Hear them coming in the evening light (run inside) Now they're coming ´til the morning light (run inside Hear them coming, hear them swarming out when they're swarming, when they hunt you down

Starglue Sniffer Wanna feel me Need to feel me leave the barracks and run til I'm out of breath Wanna get home (now!) At my new home (now!) Need a home from home to overcome this loss of belonging Feels like waking Feels like waking up Stranger in a strange land stranded on this unfamiliar planet Now! got to feel it! Now! Need to feel it! Go! Rise my face and reach out for the moving stars Deep is my longing. Deep is anxiety. Deep is my breath. Stardust filling everything .... Breathe - taking me higher Gone - higher and higher

about

Nine months after REFUGEEUM, the internationally acclaimed fourth album by BLACK SPACE RIDERS, comes a reprise, a continuation, a progression, the end of a chapter: the “BEYOND REFUGEEUM” EP.

The band had deliberately kept back four songs, all original recordings, from the REFUGEEUM sessions in order to release them separately from the album.
But watch out! As the cover artwork already suggests ... this EP is “different” to the songs on REFUGEEUM, unlike what you might expect from this band. But you can still tell that it comes logically and quite unmistakably from the BLACK SPACE RIDERS. The songs are exalted, sometimes overwrought, vivid, and yet “accessible”. Much has happened in Europe and in the world since these songs were written at the end of 2014 and recorded in early 2015 ... but they seem to be even more contemporary and necessary than ever.

“WILLKOMMEN” is the band’s first instrumental piece, a melodic, psychedelic jam that builds in intensity from quiet to very, very loud.

“FREEDOM AT FIRST SIGHT” is a crisp, catchy alternative hit that flirts with New Wave melodies and classic metal riffing.

“DRONELAND” evolves from a 70s Sequencer Ambient to a furious rhythm monster.

“STARGLUE SNIFFER” is funky and dares to have beats and a “Prince-falsetto”, before driving you on to the dance floor.

The EP is rounded off with two bonus tracks: VRTX RMX (a remix of “Vortex Sun”) is atmospheric electric drone, and GRAVITY is the electro club remix of the band’s 2014 hit “Give Gravitation to the People” ... that may and certainly will destroy or inspire one or other traditional rocker.

Establishing a position, taking a step in development, coming to an interim conclusion? Whatever! A statement by an ever-evolving band: musically interesting, lyrically relevant and aurally captivating: the “BEYOND REFUGEEUM” EP.

God these guy's rock. Had the other two albums, came to this late, but wow, such an album. Love the raw "live" sound, each song is heavy and groovy with the right amount of soul in it. Need to see these live. thehairybadger26
