Satere Mawe
from Voices In The Void by The Sparrowhawk Orkestrel
about
The Satere Mawe are an indigenous tribe from the Brazilian rain forest. They have a hunters ceremony where they take young boys and encourage them to hold their hands in specially made gloves. The gloves are lined with bullet ants which have the most painful venom in the animal kingdom. We thought this was really interesting and so wrote a song all about it. We suggest you look it up for yourselves.
lyrics
Come on boy you are of age,
you've hit the mark and made the grade.
To prove yourself through suffering.
Then you will be invited in.
From hell below they get the ants,
each sting feels like a cannon blast,
through grassy gloves they sew them in.
Then get the boys, invite them in.
Don't fear the pain invite it in.
The ceremony begins, excruciating pain.
The beating of the drums, with the poison in their veins.
Then alll at once, they can rejoice, the boys succeeded,
pick up your voice.
As hunters now they're welcomed in.
The boy ends here the man begins.
you've hit the mark and made the grade.
To prove yourself through suffering.
Then you will be invited in.
From hell below they get the ants,
each sting feels like a cannon blast,
through grassy gloves they sew them in.
Then get the boys, invite them in.
Don't fear the pain invite it in.
The ceremony begins, excruciating pain.
The beating of the drums, with the poison in their veins.
Then alll at once, they can rejoice, the boys succeeded,
pick up your voice.
As hunters now they're welcomed in.
The boy ends here the man begins.

This is one of the best albums of last year in our opinion. Heavy guitars, big riffs, strange time signatures and tuning. Its great.
go to album -
Fat Goth are close friends of ours and totally rock. Huge influence where we're from. Incredible musicianship and dark, dark lyrical content. See them live for full effect.
go to album -
Huge math rock band. So, so good and with a mammoth sound.
