    First edition with metallic silver-on-black cover art.

    Central Pennsylvania’s own musical hurricane, Ninetail return with their first album since 2009. The Vultures are Circling finds the band in top form, dealing out plenty of the aggressive metal they have always been known for, but here adding new elements to the mix. There is an intricacy and attention to detail often forgotten in heavy music - with enough twists and changes in the songs to satisfy the most discerning ear. Each change of tempo or stylistic shift is in service to the song, each song crafted as part of the whole. In an age of mp3 singles, The Vultures are Circling is an ALBUM from start to finish.

    Thematically, The Vultures are Circling deals with the Revolutionary War from Paul Revere’s nighttime ride through the horrors of war that came after. Heavy as iron ore, refined as steel - rapid fire drums and tremelo picking alternate with moments inspired by classical music and even lute-guitar interludes. Ninetail has managed to deliver an uncompromising heavy metal album, interesting and well written enough to expand their listening audience well beyond that core. The Vultures are Circling is for metal fans AND music fans alike.

The Vultures are Circling 05:33
lyrics
buy track
Looming in the skies above, The white flag surrenders Yearning for the taste of The Blood of our defenders Hear the shameless combative screaming It gives death's new life a real meaning Stalking buzzards in full uniform The vultures are circling carrion Death's armored saints Oh how the sob right before the storm Truth be told, it's for you whom they mourn. Roosting in the blood drenched trees The black flag has risen Painting the cold mud with a certain shade of crimson Flesh spear and leatherneck armor Rigged with an insatiable hunger Prepare the dead to give back to the worm The vultures are circling carrion Death's armored saints Oh how the sob right before the storm Truth be told, it's for you whom they mourn. O how they sob

Gaslamp Renegade 04:05
lyrics
buy track
On the eighteenth day a decision was made Upon receipt of the news that there'll be hell to pay A northbound ride at midnight rides For the old longshore is changing tides Rapscallions take over the wharf and murmur tales of ambush Make way for the Gaslamp Renegade Early that morn before the enemy rose The masses were informed down to the calling crows Don't want your woman Don't want your stash Be sure the bootleggers go hide their cash Set battalions greet the rumored march, Unwinded forces Just another day for the Gaslamp Renegade Prepare, take aim, then fire away Revolution tips the rusted scales Champion westward Seek trade with the Gaslamp Renegade Low tones prove to be heard The connector on his filly Spreads the viral word Thirteen miles in two short hours For the old longshore will remain hours Prepare, take aim, then fire

Loathness & Obedience 04:19
lyrics
buy track
We were born of land, bone, and tilth, subject to altruism Whatever happened to the prideful bucolic? Now the masses feed on pre-paid filth Choking down the irrelevant resistance Mortal objective of the anabolic I'm an obtuse man whose stuck between Loathness and obedience I've got arrogance and propylene Impending consequence We prevail as the bane of our existence Leave behind any hope Liberation held in bleeding hands Succumb is not an option Impassive strain voids the raising of fools When the gluttons are begging for a scrap A black line will be drawn in the sand This is a brand new system of rules. I'm an obtuse man whose stuck between Loathness and obedience I've got arrogance and propylene Impending consequence We prevail as the bane of our existence Leave behind any hope of our deliverance Everyday I see the shadows Creeping further in

Give Back to the Worm 03:37

Hell hath no fury but the weathered hands Descend through the dark clouds Upon the war torn man She beats and she grinds, You'll know it's your turn Become the earth once again And give back to the worm Hell hath no fury like the weathered hands Descend through the dark clouds Upon the war torn man She shreds and she pounds, You'll know it's your turn Become the earth once again And give back to the worm

March of Libitina 04:35
lyrics

Ascending from the underworld She seeks all the filthy souls Striking ground with a lightning bolt Gone to hell for the bullets flown Go to your mother of life and decay The swinging scythe The faceless fight She will coin your eyes Join the march of Libitina In the throes of war She's the only peace that you can hope for Now march

The Mist People 03:25
lyrics

Plundering down the aquifer Serpentine violence flows through black violets Preserving all of the ingrained souls Drink from the spine of revival Once walked here, but no they're gone Consider us to be the lucky ones Vapors rising from the broken glass The current becomes blackened eyes Whomever desecrates these grounds shall face the aftermath The wanderer froze at the awful sight Virtual catalyst speaks from the climbing mist Beholds his woes right before his eyes Bringing this message of ruin Once walked here, but no they're gone Consider us to be the lucky ones Vapors rising from the broken glass The current becomes blackened eyes Whomever desecrates these grounds shall face the aftermath "Your remorseless fight is wreaking havoc to our core Gunpowder and cannon fodder are not welcome anymore For those who take lightly the inevitable toll I will be the riptide who engulfs their soul" I've sen the eyes of smoke (remorseless) My life's been spared by the undertow (gunpowder) Brothers I warn you all (inevitable) Ignore this, and death shall call (the riptide) Whomever desecrates these grounds shall face the aftermath

Waterloo 04:05

We kill the trend so now you follow Spurn the process, blind the masses Don't insult my intelligence The lengths you've gone to see this through only prove your guilt Bored with the tired act Equitable is not he who spits upon the pact In return for your feat, here's a front row seat Witness the crash We won't defend a deed so hollow Burn the doctrine, consume the ashes Don't downplay my relevance The lengths you've gone to see this through only prove your guilt Bored with the tired act Equitable is not he who spits upon the pact In return for your feat, here's a front row seat Witness the crash Requiem Waterloo In due time we'll come for you Toleration has frayed, stop pretending Mephistophelean Every downfall builds a new wall to shadow the festering greed Bored with the tired act Equitable is not he who spits upon the pact Witness the crash We kill the trend so now you follow

Entrusting the Sheep to the Wolves 03:29
lyrics

All hail to the prodigal sons They've been designed to seize you in the web that's been spun Landgraves of eradication, now fall in line soon you'll know just what you've become We see you indeed With those tricks up your sleeve Virtuous hologram is not what we perceive All rise for the gall to deny We'll never know what is the truth or what is a lie Disciples stare into the fiery sky with an acceptance of the facts There is no chance to survive Not going down 'til the empire's crown is destroyed We'll be a detriment to the resistance deployed I see you smiling The day will come when you must choose from us or them Gone is that chance now you stare down the lance of the paragon sword Benign to the world Don't turn your back now The sheep has become the wolf All hail to the prodigal sons All rise for the gall to deny We see you indeed With those tricks up your sleeve Virtuous hologram is not what we perceive Stymied from the truth

The Iron Whore 05:24

Hold! Wait for the whites of their eyes Pulled hammer and flint to ignite the surprise Leaving the rest to Brown Bess and her .75 To kill the morale and cut down the lines She never fails Leave no man behind An outspoken flinty-lipped, brazen-faced jade It's lead for your blood The American Trade At Blenheim and Ramilies the fops would confess They were pierced to the heart by the charms of Brown Bess The iron whore with deadly spit will flash the pan and spew it quick No respecter o person or promise of title She is my accomplice and she is my rival To kill the morale and cut down the lines She never fails Leave no man behind An outspoken flinty-lipped, brazen-faced jade It's lead for your blood The American Trade At Blenheim and Ramilies the fops would confess They were pierced to the heart by the charms of Brown Bess The iron whore (with deadly spit) An outspoken flinty-lipped, brazen-faced jade It's lead for your blood The American Trade

Nine Steps to Nobody 04:32
lyrics
buy track
These missteps are blatant These troublesome ties must be detached To fashion a quandary with hearsay and lies is unbecoming Separate the past Here looms the shadow of your wrath Amputate this limb It has no feeling Erratic disclosure results in a fire, unextinguishable The last bit of judgement went up in the pyre So inevitable Separate the past Here looms the shadow of your wrath Amputate this limb It has no feeling Nose in the sky like your word is the gospel But know you've got to deal with that stink in your nostrils Separate the past Here looms the shadow of your wrath Amputate this limb It has no feeling Embezzle the dream Fuck you, it's mine No reaffirmation Simply criticize Embrace the negative
