Скачать или смотреть Black Atom - Greed For Gain [STUDIO VERSION]

Black Atom formed in 1998 in a small village in north east Scotland. Over the next ten years they went on to become one of Aberdeen's most popular bands, playing packed gigs around the town. They never quite moved beyond this level, but hopefully those who saw them will remember them fondly for their high-energy live shows and hook-laden, harmony-driven take on old-school heavy metal. Sadly they existed in a time when it wasn't possible to obtain professional-quality recordings for budget prices, and their recordings reflect this fact. Still, 2003's Out of Exile EP was quite a local hit upon release, as was the follow-up full length album The Tie That Binds, and the songs were pretty great, even if the recordings themselves were somewhat less so.

They split-up in 2008, after 10 years on the local circuit. In 2018 they announced they were reuniting for a gig at local festival Full Metal Haggis. You should go, it'll be fun.

Greed For Gain was recorded in Captain Tom's and was released on one of the Fat Hippy records sampler CDs, probably in 2005 or 2006. One of Atom's shortest ever songs but still crams in all the elements they were known for!

GREED FOR GAIN

I've sen the face of my deceiver
Never a stranger so near
And never a danger so clear
His twisted soul stares through the mirror
The times I harboured rage
The crime that came of age

Beyond the walls and sanctuaries
Before the roads to war are paved
Between our birth and life retreating
The avarice will be repaid

The words I wrote, this prose misleading
This weathered mast we use
To bind the helm we bruise
To fate we're bones and blood in breeding
Once more in sorrow's shade
To watch my role replayed

Beyond the walls and sanctuaries
Before the roads to war are paved
Between our birth and life retreating
The avarice will be repaid

Beyond the walls and sanctuaries
Before the roads to war are paved
Between our birth and life retreating
The avarice will be repaid
