    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.

lyrics

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
