  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    Comes in a reusable plastic sleeve with the artwork as like a flappy sleeve thing. I know there's an actual name for this type of packaging but I can't find the actual name right now. Good news is it features all the songs on our first EP Terra in glorious digital sonic waveforms.

    You can pop it in a cd player and listen to it, you can use it also as a drink coaster. Despite what you think it wouldn't make a good frisbee, you should use an actual professional frisbee for that. Oh! Or are they called flying discs? And frisbee is one of those situations where that's a brand and we associate all those products with that brand name now, like kleenex instead of tissue.

    Well hey. you get the CD if you buy.

    Includes unlimited streaming of Terra via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

Flight On The Carrion 07:17
lyrics
buy track
the mountain stands strong like arms stretching skyward giving their offering to the heavens a somber procession, the low hung faces all telltale signs of a funeral hungry eyes peer down, birds form feeding halo the vultures pick clean the cadavers carrion or savior? We seek the one in the sky, may his gaze behold us and bless us as we climb. Farewell my comrade, till we once more meet in our creators arms and be reborn again as the phoenix rises on burning wings so your path is illuminated by the sun the body is insubstantial shell encages soul the vultures pick clean the cadavers carrion or savior? We seek the one in the sky, may his gaze behold us and bless us as we climb.

Gravel Ship 08:15
lyrics

the sea is a lonely place to die, a living labyrinth in the night bury you in the tide, your strength mocked beneath the waves lunar condolence lost in the abyss swallowed from the world's eye our ship's infested visitors from below the horizon my lifeline tied to this wood a fractured fragment of a whole our voyage halted by dead hands dragging the rest into the undertow bury you in the tide, your strength mocked beneath the waves lunar condolence lost in the abyss swallowed from the world's eye our ship's infested visitors from below the horizon a sole survivor waiting to be take under day and night washed away, madness grows scavenge the gulls which draw too close sweet blood sustains marine beasts stay all too clear of one so cursed increasingly anticipate certain demise. i heard their whispers, i know the truth. i saw their faces rising from the blue. The dead hold no grudges, yet the damned carry no tunes as night falls i wonder when death will cleanse me. Bury me in the tide, my life lost beneath the waves happily sink into the abyss the sea is a lonely place to die.

The Rhino Charges 10:20
lyrics
buy track
Scour Root The grassland in search of the Colossus Grip the earth, then push away Distance closes (target nears) Territory Violated Two tonnes of flesh and armor outnumber, the Rhino charges Surrounded by foes on the African plain Stone teeth on sticks, can pierce to bone yet hubris shows in their naked skin Man Circles beast Like the planets Cycle Around the sun Exhaustion snares every muscle Desperate (Retching blood) Spark of life irrefutably fading all things return to Mother Earth Mortality certain, the Rhino Charges Banishing man to the clay Whittle them down, Only one remains tense with adrenaline and fear. Mutual wound, solemn gaze exchanged an unspoken vow to finish what was started Ivory rends flesh spear enters throat feud stilled by death foe next to foe.

about

Terra is the first EP by Guelph based band Teleportoise. It is a collection of songs with ulterior motives to take the listener through land, sea, and sky (not necessarily in that order.) the three things that make up the Earth, or Terra. The album swelters and explodes until coming to a dramatic conclusion in the final song.

Teleportoise Guelph, Ontario

"This is a bit of a weird and borderline one. All things considered, we feel that this is more on the heavy, sludgy post-rock side, as opposed to metal."

Azmodes, Encyclopaedia Metallum 2019
