Earthshaker 04:27
Are you ready to groove? I said are you ready to groove? Gnome style action all the way Them crazy tinker gnomes, they built a mecha Just like that one you saw on the cover You know it was a party killer You know it was a freaky thriller It was a castle breaker It was shake n' baker It was a death maker A party killer And they called it, they called it EARTHSHAKER They called it EARTHSHAKER Not the kind of gnomes to mend the pot you piss in You think they're kind of cute but there's a point your missing Like a giant robot that's set to kill It's called the EARTHSHAKER and you know it will Smash the crappy little castle you've been calling a home It's the evil machination of a pissed off gnome Seemed alright when it came to town But now it's out of control you gotta take it down EARTHSHAKER EARTHSHAKER EARTHSHAKER EARTHSHAKER EARTHSHAKER Just a bunch of kids at Geneva Con Thinking we were cool but it all went wrong We had the magic, We had the power But the stupid EARTHSHAKER made it all go sour Wiping out the party in the thirteenth round Took us to the mat for some ground and pound Pick up your dice and you leave the table Fighting back the tears but you're just not able EARTHSHAKER EARTHSHAKER EARTHSHAKER EARTHSHAKER EARTHSHAKER

We came to the town of Saltmarsh seeking to find our fate Instead what we discovered was a whole lot of hate And pirate booty Lots and lots of booty We came for the booty and handed them their booty It seemed just a lonely old house but therein we were waylaid Centipedes in the kitchen and we forgot the RAID! But we didn't forget the booty Lots and lots of booty We came for the booty and handed them their booty Their was a man tied up, said his name was Ned Turns out he was an assassin, we had to kill him dead And take his booty All of Ned's booty We came for the booty we handed them their booty Punk-e-tah I want your pieces of eight Punk-e-tah I need your pieces of eight Punk-e-tah I'll get your pieces of eight Punk-e-tah I got your pieces of eight To get to the Sea Ghost we had to sneak It was a pirate ship and the adventures peak And it was full of booty so much booty Oh I love pirate booty I love handing them their booty Punk-e-tah I want your pieces of eight Punk-e-tah I need your pieces of eight Punk-e-tah I'll get your pieces of eight Punk-e-tah I got your pieces of eight

In the lost caverns of Tsojcanth-a Fought a lot of monstesr but their was always one badder There was a lightning breathing lizard, a rhino riding giant Some funky-ass chickens, turn you into stoner In the lost caverns of Tsojcanth-a Fought a lot of monstesr but their was always one badder We got lost in a labyrinth, used a bunch of torches Paladin pitched a tent when he saw Drelzna Oh but the party wasn't making camp Ah it wasn't that kind of tent anyways In the lost caverns of Tsojcanth-a Fought a lot of monsters but their was always one badder There was a freaky clay golem we were scared when we saw him Threw us in a panic and killed our only cleric Oh who's gonna heal the party now? Is there a doctor in the house Down with his creator, tough like no other Didn't have a mother he killed all the brothers He was a bad mothertrucker Bad mothertrucker Bad bad bad bad bad mothertrucker He went boom-shaka-laka Boom-shaka-laka Boom-Boom-Boom-Boom-Boom-shaka-laka He went boom-shaka-laka Boom-shaka-laka Boom-Boom-Boom-Boom-Boom-shaka-laka In the lost caverns of Tsojcanth-a Fought a lot of monsters but their was always one badder Always one badder Always one badder Always one badder Always one badder Always one badder In the lost caverns of Tsojcanth

Human settlements under attack The nobles they gather their forces but they can't fight back So they hire some mercenaries, blood on their hands The sort who leave a trail of bodies, strewn across the lands Against the giants, Hill - Fire - Frost Against the giants, Victory at all cost Chieftain Nosnra, Giant of the hills Laid in ambush with insufficient skills It was an error that cost his life, he never really stood a chance Now his head is a warning sign, impaled upon a lance Against the giants, Hill - Fire - Frost Against the giants, Victory at all cost Frost Giant Jarl, high on the glacial rift They freed his captive bride and that got him pretty miffed He charged ahead to crush their bones his anger didn't serve him well Never saw the blade that cut his throat his eyes were blinded by a spell Against the giants, Hill - Fire - Frost Against the giants, Victory at all cost King Snore Ironbelly, a giant of the fire His treasure was heavily guarded by a red dragon's pyre Slay the dragon steal the treasure Old Ironbelly he ain't up to the measure Of a band of human giant slayers Swinging sword and axe and prayers Against the giants, Hill - Fire - Frost Against the giants, Victory at all cost Against the giants Against the giants Now the mission it's over, mercenaries get paid They spend their money on women and wine and they rest they waste The moral of this story if there's one to be said: "The only giant you can ever trust is a giant that's dead"

My name is Barbarosa, with care I urge you tread My secret words you followed, to the Isle of Dread To the isle of Dread My name is Barbarosa, with care I urge you tread My secret words you followed, to the Isle of Dread To the isle of Dread We left from Specularum, departed in good rights Our ship was blown asunder for seven days and nights We reached a tiny village, the natives called it 'home' Therein stood lifelike statues of iron bronze and stone The makers of these statues, an ancient race indeed Had built a massive stone wall to protect their greed A onetime mighty city upon the highlands lay It holds a pearly treasure or so the natives say My name is Barbarosa, with care I urge you tread My secret words you follow to the Isle of Dread My crews been decimated so from this isle I leave My words will guide me back here, that pearl I will retrieve But years have past me by, now I'm long dead and gone The island stayed a secret until you came along My hidden words uncovered have lead you to this place To claim that pearly treasure such perils you will face Like a giant walking lizard from lands forgot in time Oh from my grave I hear them, the bells for you now chime My name is Barbarosa, with care I urge you tread My name is Barbarosa, with care I urge you tread But still you chase your fortune on the Isle of Dread On the Isle of Dread On the Isle of Dread On the Isle of Dread

It's a breeding dance at the spawning stone I'm a horny slaad and I'm all alone Ain't nobody want to dance with me I got a mind like chaos gonna set it free It's a breeding dance at the spawning stone It's a breeding dance at the spawning stone I'm a blue slaad gonna find me a red We're gonna make us a baby that will make you dead I'm a red slaad gonna find me a blue We're gonna make us a baby that will take over you At the breeding dance at the spawning stone It's a breeding dance at the spawning stooooone

I am a pharaoh and my name is Amun Re My spirit calls to you now hear what I must say Free me of the curse that's tied me to these lands Steal from my pyramid that's buried in the sands of The desert of desolation The desert of desolation The desert of desolation The desert of desolation Run out of Pazar with the law hot on our heels Faced with no choice the Staff of Ruling we must steal We are but men and we claim no secret powers But to survive the night the Star Gem must be ours in The desert of desolation The desert of desolation The desert of desolation The desert of desolation

about

Slod's first proper recording, recorded in Austin, TX on a single lovely Saturday in the Spring of 2023. Andy and Nathan flew into Texas and we all recorded songs and played a game of Twilight Imperium.

This recording session was a long time in coming. 13 years ago, Slod coalesced together out of the churning sludge of Limbo in Vancouver, Canada. After a year of rehearsal in a garage (yes, literally, a garage band), Slod played its first concert at the Tipper Bar & Restaurant. The following year, Slod was one of several bands to play live at GenCon 2011

We thank the great Slod lords for patience with us in taking so long to commit our very chaotic (neutral) music to digital format.
