	He enters a fight No one gets out alive Too stubborn to quit Too stupid to die I live again! I do it my way! This grave turned into cradle as I woke up from my dormant state A rusty pitchfork helped me find my way among the dead Throughout the graveyard morgue and crematorium I run And eat their bleeding hearts as replenishment of my strength He enters a fight No one gets out alive Too stubborn to quit Too stupid to die I live again! I do it my way! I rode Phantom Express while spraying bullets far and wide Went all guns blazing - made every wagon Hell on rails My sawed-off shotgun to the Dark Carnival I brought And kicked decapitated heads of zombies - it was fuckin’ fun! He enters a fight No one gets out alive Too stubborn to quit Too stupid to die Show yourself! My echoing cries spawned the demon on this Altar Of Stone The hideous creature who slayed and crucified my only love Ruthlessly I fought pulled the trigger and spread his brains around “Sleep, Ophelia”, I whispered - and set ablaze her funeral pyre He enters a fight No one gets out alive Too stubborn to quit Too stupid to die I live again! I do it my way! “Good… bad… I’m the guy with the gun.”

about

As you might have guessed based on our not-so-youthful looks and our music influences, every one of us has spent a lot of happy moments during the 90's, which also explains a certain nostalgy we have for these times. Video games of these period are still carrying part of this atmosphere - much more pixelated, but also with unparalleled dynamics and unfiltered sense of humor.

'The Ballad Of Caleb' is about the main protagonist of the FPS classic 'Blood' (1997), who, with a rusty pitchfork in his hands, is living a second life dedicated to a long and bloody revenge. Very Metal.

We are proudly presenting Yuliya Kostadinova's hand-drawn artwork - and we very much doubt there could be a better visual representation for our musical perversion.

"I am going to donate some blood... someone else's."
