1.	Ship of Fools 03:48	lyrics
Money is the root of evil Money is the root of evil Spin the wheel of fortune Calling out your dreams for all to hear Roll the dice of destiny To turn the tide right now and here Lady Luck gives soothing kisses Gone so soon yet hope is high Ship of fools keeps sailing on To better lands to try and die Can you see the downward spiral Spinning out of your control Can you hear the demon whisper Soothing lies into your soul Money is the root of evil Money is the source of power The arrow of outrageous fortune Escape the mortal coil with haste The downfall follows surely after Vale of tears shall be embraced Write the numbers in your blood Paint the darkness with your tears Seal your fate for evermore Ride the lightning of your fears Can you see the downward spiral Spinning out of your control Can you hear the demon whisper Soothing lies into your soul
2.	Stormreaper 05:03	lyrics
Proud Eagle flies with falsened flag He's ruling like a king The Phoenician princess lies idly by And spreads her legs for him Her children crying in despair Are still forced to obey Their granary shows threatening tilt They don't know what else to do or say It's coming soon, it's almost about A great revolution is ready to sprout It's coming soon, there is no doubt Justice is calling is taking its route They poke the great bear with a stick Until he won't take it no more And lashes out in anger with His mighty prank for nuclear war Phoenician whore been bought with ease Who pays the piper calls the tune And reaching out in all their greed They ride us blindly to our doom It's coming soon, it's almost about A great revolution is ready to sprout It's coming soon, there is no doubt Justice is calling is taking its route They who sow wind shall reap the whirlwind They who sow wind shall reap the storm They who sow wind shall reap the whirlwind They who sow wind shall reap the storm It's coming soon, it's almost about A great revolution is ready to sprout It's coming soon, there is no doubt Justice is calling is taking its route They who sow wind shall reap the whirlwind They who sow wind shall reap the storm They who sow wind shall reap the whirlwind They who sow wind shall reap the storm
3.	Clandestine 05:19	lyrics
Burning legion in disguise Hiding in plain sight They know that you are powerless They know about your darkest secrets They find you when you're hidden They sell your dreams before you know They vanquish without touch They close the collar more and more They poison all your rivers Your forests fall to their demands They're showing no regret Their masterplan it knows no end Come and catch us, come along Come and find us, all you know is wrong Come and catch us, come along Come and find us, all you know is wrong Money, information, power Controlled by far too few Give bread and games to the people Divide, conquer and rule They feed you sweet sweet venom It tastes so good in its disguise This fucking drug addiction Your barren offspring pays the price They turn you into puppets They wash your brain with every breath They kill your love with greed And drench your soul in fears of death Come and catch us, come along Come and find us, all you know is wrong Come and catch us, come along Come and find us, all you know is wrong Make yourself free Free of the fear Free of the pain Free of their lies Make yourself free Free of the greed Free of the need Free of their lies Come and catch us, come along Come and find us, all you know is wrong Come and catch us, come along Come and find us, all you know is wrong
4.	Ballad of the Need 04:25	lyrics
Passion and compassion, selfless need Center of the world, in your sleep Wanted, needed, found, claimed and kept Used and broken heavy regret Can you feel the need filling all your nodes Can you feel the leech feeding off your soul Your spirit gets emptied, day by day Less and less of you to stay Your soul dries out, out of the way Less and less of you to stay Mindless thought adrift and hard to find Everyone around you is blind Laughter in the air brimming with need Filling every edge of your soul Can you feel the burn leaving you behind Everyone around you is blind Your spirit gets emptied, day by day Less and less of you to stay Your soul dries out, out of the way Less and less of you to stay
5.	Human Recreation 05:47	lyrics
Torn up twisted blackened heart Pulsing gloomy pumping veins Darkened laughter in the soul Happy cheating human ways Man is evil there is no light The world is doomed enjoy the ride Man is wicked and born to fight No matter if it’s wrong or right It's not about vengeance It's not about retaliation It's not about balancing the books It's just human recreation Let's make war there's oil discovered Exploiting screaming more more more Kill their children kill their men Take their women make them whore Man is evil there is no light The world is doomed enjoy the ride Man is wicked and born to fight No matter if it’s wrong or right It's not about vengeance It's not about retaliation It's not about balancing the books It's just human recreation Our nature demands The evil plans We cannot resist The evil twist Vengeance an Retaliation Is the Human Recreation No one can tell where this is going Planet Earth will take revenge Volcanoes earthquakes tidal waves Planet Earth will cleanse the stench Man is evil there is no light The world is doomed enjoy the ride Man is wicked and born to fight No matter if it’s wrong or right It's not about vengeance It's not about retaliation It's not about balancing the books It's just human recreation
6.	Mindless Voids 03:51	lyrics
Witness the all Seeing Eye in peril and disgrace Harvest in your conscious lies the truth beyond its face Read the papers hear the songs of panic and deceit The sovereign, long forgotten, still struck blind by hate and greed End the silence of ignorant bliss and don’t you dare deny Open your mind and break the spell heed absolution’s cry Focus all your strength within an endless thunderstorm Fight the shadow’s oppressive touch or hope will soon be gone Banish the insanity of systems wrought to rule Snap out of all the mindless voids hypnotic, vain and cruel Creative thrived the mind of man beyond the wheels of time Yet now consumed the spirit dies beneath the silver dime End the silence of ignorant bliss and don’t you dare deny Open your mind and break the spell heed absolution’s cry Focus all your strength within an endless thunderstorm Fight the shadow’s oppressive touch or hope will soon be gone
7.	Satan's Seven Sinners 04:07	lyrics
Satan’s seven sinners every hand has seven fingers Seven seals are ripped apart Armageddon soon will start Satan’s seven sinners every hand has seven fingers Seven seals are ripped apart Armageddon soon will start The prophecy has told there are signs to look out for Falling fire from the sky the devils makes you try The animal will come the World will be on fire The one will rearise to climb on heavens throne Satan’s seven sinners every hand has seven fingers Seven seals are ripped apart Armageddon soon will start Satan’s seven sinners every hand has seven fingers Seven seals are ripped apart Armageddon soon will start Clouds will close the sky rolling thunder will arise The plagues will hit the land pestilence will be there first Everything she looks upon will slowly fall apart The smell of rotten flesh will burn your memory We don't need no Satan no fucking Armageddon We destroy the world ourselves we're the cancer of the earth Rumble in the earth volcanos will appear Melted stone is everywhere burning hope to ash and dust Death will spread his wings he'll clean up all the cities Dying bodies on the ground make pretty ugly sounds Satan’s seven sinners every hand has seven fingers Seven seals are ripped apart Armageddon soon will start Satan’s seven sinners every hand has seven fingers Seven seals are ripped apart Armageddon soon will start The surface of the earth slowly breaks apart Gaps will open wide from down you hear the cries Hell will open up and spit out its insides Demons rushing up to fight the angels back
8.	Der Wald 04:51	lyrics
Tief und dunkel ist der Wald Feucht und grün und etwas kalt Das Zwielicht streichelt alte Bäume Farne, Moose, wilde Träume Kleine Bäche gurgeln munter Über Stein ins Tal hinunter Selbst die Vögel singen leise Voller Ehrfurcht ihre Weise Voller Ehrfurcht sollst du sein trittst du in den Wald hinein Wandle auf den rechten Wegen wünschst du Morgen noch zu leben Denn der Wald kennt keine Gnade fördert Bosheit schnell zu tage Kein Schuft betrat je diesen Hain und kehrte danach wieder Heim Rehe äsen voller Frieden Wölfe bleiben friedlich liegen Der Tritt verursacht kein Geräusch Keine Zeit kein Turmgeläut Flechten hängen von den Ästen Leise hört man Bäume ächzen Lichter schweben in der Luft Sie ist erfüllt von süssem Duft Voller Ehrfurcht sollst du sein trittst du in den Wald hinein Wandle auf den rechten Wegen wünschst du Morgen noch zu leben Denn der Wald kennt keine Gnade fördert Bosheit schnell zu tage Kein Schuft betrat je diesen Hain und kehrte danach wieder Heim
9.	Leidenschaft 05:06	lyrics
Wieviel Tage willst du leiden Beginnst du schon dich zu entkleiden Es blättert ab das letzte Fleisch Deine Knochen kalt und weiss Du trafst mein Messer Und ich in dein Herz Doch heute fühle ich Deinen Schmerz Arroganz ist für mich Gefahr Das sieht du ja jetzt ein, nicht wahr Du wolltest ja nicht bei mir bleiben Ich musste dich in Stücke schneiden Auf ewig wär ich dein geworden Doch nun bist du durch mich gestorben Die Erlösung für mein Leid War der Tod für dich mein Weib Mein Herz ist zu Stein erstarrt Meine Augen kalt und hart Meine Hand die hält ein Messer Schwarze Klingen stechen besser Durch die Rippe durch das Fleisch Mitten in dein Herz hinein Du trafst mein Messer Und ich in dein Herz Doch heute fühle ich Deinen Schmerz Rache die wird kalt serviert Deine Leiche wird pervertiert Zeit ist kein Konzept für mich Warte nur ich hole dich Du triffst mein Messer Und ich in dein Herz Doch heute fühle ich Deinen Schmerz Rache die wird kalt serviert Deine Leiche wird pervertiert Warte nur es gibt kein Entkommen Deinen Tod hab ich ersonnen Auf ewig wär ich dein geworden Doch nun bist du durch mich gestorben

about

Here they are again! Tendonitis is releasing their first professionally produced album. Enjoy this new masterpiece of Thrash/Heavy metal. Texts in English and German tell stories about cruelty of life and mankind, war, loneliness and of strength. And this is exactly how this unique blend of hard and precise guitars, massive, yet playful drums, a humming bass and the roaring voice sounds.

After demonstrating the potential that lies within the current lineup with their self-produced and self-released „Suddenly“ output in 2013, it was time for the next step. The predominantly positive feedback motivated the band to raise the bar even higher with the subsequent release. Especially the production should be improved.

Suddenly after „Süddenly“ the band started writing new, and polishing existing material for the upcoming album. The recordings, which again were managed by the band autonomously, started in the middle of 2014. However, the recordings didn’t go as smoothly as last time. Due to time constraints, it took over a year to record all tracks. This was bad for one thing, as this was getting on everybody’s nerves, but on the other hand also positive in the sense that there was room for creativity. The recording process was also interrupted shooting days for the new „Clandestine“ music video, which will be officially released in early 2016.

After the prolonged recordings, the mixing and mastering went pleasantly smooth. Working with professional mixing and mastering studios in the US was absolutely the right decision for the band. Jeffro Lackscheide and Nagasakisound did a great job and by the end of 2016 Stormreaper was finally born and ready to conquer the world.
