How's about them holes in the sky leaking firestorms, Earthquakes and ice Look at them and say: It's all going to be okay A tornado destroying our homes Our friends crushed beneath cement and stones Look at them and say: It's all going to be okay Everyone here knows my name because I give them all the same: A stupid dream-infused head and the question: "what happens once you're dead?" I'm making my way downton Turning these frowns upside down Hold my umbrella and watch how we add our special touch: Nuclear Fall and Firestorms Acid-Rain Killer-Bee-Swarms Let's all hold hands and sing: "This is just the beginning" Everyone knows where I'm from But they have no idea where I have gone A place on the anti-outside that's where I got my peculiar state of mind An unvertain future lies ahead but don't worry, don't feel upset Just imagine our worst-case scenario as just a giant black rainbow

How dare you declare war on our innocence Your sword is the lowest form of opulence It is your arrogance that I do not approve Step forward and all your wrath shall be soothed your attitude's not welcome here Am I making myself clear? As close to victory as you'll come Further and you'll be undone No matter what you're gonna do I'm firmly grounded, I wont move I might be death that you betray But I'm still in your way you may rise all kinds hell But I know all your tricks too well There's no sheme that you can pull that I'm not rendering dull I think I got quite a hunch you don't pack a bad punch How dare you push the weak around Your Shield is a dizzying wall of sound You might burn brightest from dusk till dawn But I am well rested and sparkle on You better stop pissing me off before I make your back turn soft Inflating your sense of self wearing the face of someone else You might just call me an insect but I don't speak that dialect I'm gonna go and reject your reign of disrespect The trail of blood you leave behind or rather corpses you sucked dry lead right to a dusty throne where you gnaw on some bones ou're a distorter of night skies with your lazer-focused eyes still claiming that you're the best Let's put that to the test All the things you say - puke in my airwaves What you're on about - insecure and loud I'll do something good and fix your attitude I shall never kneel - theese fists only heal ORA!

All of the People in all of the places All the emotions fading from all faces All of the Horrors creeping into stasis All wonders fading from their graces All of the folks who just want to shake it All of the times that seem to break it Something is coming, we're too scared to name it It's coming closer, so better embrace it

Maybe some day we'll get better Maybe healing takes for ever All the things I wish we'd say But our mouths are taped shut anyway Tear it off, let's use it rather to tape us together

Please Ruin my Birthday Party Then crash my funeral I don't want to be seen I just want to be held by someone with a heartbeat who makes me vornerable I don't want to seem obcene I just want to be heard My life's always in shambles Want no one to save me But if you offer support I'll accept gladly I am covered in leeches I got a rainbow-stare I'll cook you bliss-out Ramen I'm practicing selfcare Nothing feels right Though nothing is wrong Everything could be beautiful Everything's pointing up But I'm pointing down Everything could be beautiful

MUDA! 03:02
lyrics

You've seen the light reveal something you did not like Something about yourself, something you just can't help You don't even try to change, and honestly, why? It's always been this way, just move on it's all okay You've hit the wall, doesn't bother you at all Or at least so it seems - no mouth but you must scream Everythings still the same - your smile looks so drained Wallowing on the floor - you're still asking for more MUDA!

Edge of the world, the endless sea No cloud in sight, just you and me Can't tell the colour of your hair The sparks, they're flying everywhere Black rainbows painting the sky The water reflects radient light The beginning of growing old Your smile stays warm Your flesh grows cold The flood is reaching for our feet The sound of your calm heartbeat Rosepetals dancing in the air Gaze into your eyes turned into a stare The heavens roar, the earth it shakes yet our bond can never break End of the world for me and you we're holding hands and jump into Something tangible yet unknown Something with a form yet to be shown Soaring onward way beyond our limitations that we have as the people we still are So how's about them holes on the inside? How about the horrors they invite? Look around there's no more left to blame Now you're like the rest: all out insane Live for the good of yourself - that is all Take the hands that help to resolve For the tarpit of nostalgia turns the things you hate into who you are Our parents ruined all our minds So we're ill-equipped for modern times But the future has arrived at last It brought healing that lacked in the past You're different from how you used to be Yet still the same entirely You don't have to do this anymore unless you want to, of course Look forward to what's to come cancer devouring eeryone The sky canvas to internal wars like the ambrace of asylumwalls Embrace the drool and greet the sun Be hppy just like everyone A world that's burning bright with glee But you're always here with me You blow a kiss from way up there It's impact leaves craters in my nightmares And you allow me to feel bored That's why I love you so much more But honestly: as of late I'm scared our paths will seperate I got no real reason for that I guess, again, it's in my head So if I won't see you again I' like to tell you as a friend I appreciate how you've been kind And given me so much time So until that bleak day when one of us fades away We're avigating through the dark by holding up ech others sparks

about

Wir sind alle ein wenig kaputt, oder? All die kuriosen Dinge, welche sich klammheimlich ihren Weg in unsere Unterbewusstsein suchen und leise von innen gegen die Innenwände des Schädels hämmern, bis der Kopf auseinanderzuplatzen droht.
Wachsende Verwüstung, Ungleichheit und das andere Zeug: Alles frustriert nur noch immer mehr und der Druck jeden Tag ein fröhliches Gesicht aufzusetzen wird immer unerträglicher.
Vor 2 Jahren ist Voodoobasement in ein Exil gegangen um sich dort von den Folgeschäden einer Expedition ins Land der Nasenbären zu erholen. In dieser selbst auferlegten Isolation fand sich eine neue kreative Herausforderung: Ein Album zu machen, welches die Form von Voodoobasement drastisch reduzieren sollte und gleichzeitig immens erweitern.
Das Resultat ist „THEY CAN'T KILL US ALL“, Voodoobasements achtes Album, welches 2019 geschrieben wurde, jedoch ein wenig Zeit brauchte um entsprechend zu reifen. Unheimlicherweise ist der lyrische Gehalt des Werkes inzwischen aktueller als noch zu Zeitpunkt seines Entstehens.
Weg von Swimmingpools und hin zu Naturkatastrophen, das Sonnenlicht meidenden Despoten und einem All-durchsetzendes Sinn des Grauens, welches immer lauter werdend im Hintergrund nach Aufmerksamkeit schreit. Wir sind alle ein wenig besorgt, oder?
Und doch ist es wichtig eine Sache beizubehalten: Hoffnung.
Für jede prophezeite Sintflut muss es ein Boot geben, das dem Sturm trotzt, für jeden grausigen Herrscher einen Ansturm von Händen, welche seinem Treiben Einhalt gebieten.
Voodoobasement kreieren mit ihrem Repertoire an Verzerrungen und unkonventionellen Ideen einen Wirbelwind aus hochtreibendem Noisepop, Riff-Lastigen Nackenbrechern und psychedelischen Blackgaze-Orgien.
THEY CAN'T KILL US ALL ist Voodoobasements stärkstes Projekt bis jetzt und möchte mit dem Titel ein einfaches Mantra kommunizieren: Egal wie furchtbar die Dinge sein mögen, welche in der Zukunft auf uns zukommen – sie können uns nicht alle töten. Oder?

We're all a bit tired, right? All those curious things, that secretely creep their way into our subconscious and quietly hammer against the insides of our skulls until our heads start feeling like they are going to burst.
Growing destruction, inequality and the other stuff: It all just keeps getting more frustrating and the pressure of putting on a happy face everyday keeps getting more unbearable.
2 years ago Voodoobasement went into exile to recover from a expedition into the land of coatis. In this self-imposd isolation Voodoobasement found a new creative challenge: To make an album that reduces the form of Voodoobasement, while increasing it's scope.
The result is "THEY CAN'T KILL US ALL", the eight lbum by Voodoobasement, which was written in 2019 but needed a bit of time to mature accordingly. Scarily the lyrical contents of the project have become more topical than during their inception.
Leaving behind swimming pools for natural disasters, sun-avoiding despots and an all-encompasing sense of dread, which keeps getting louder in the background.
We're all a bit worried, right?
And still, we need to hold on to one thing: Hope.
For every prophesied Flood there has to be a boat to brave the storm, for every cruel leader there must be a storm of hands that undoes their efforts.
Voodoobasement use their arsenal of distortion and unconventional ideas to create a whirlwind of upbeat noisepop, riff-heavy neckbreakers and psychedelic blackgaze-orgies.
THEY CAN'T KILL US ALL is Voodoobasement's strongest project to date and wants to use it's title to invoke a simple mantra:
No matter how gruesome the things up ahead for us may be - they can't kill us all. Right?
