GRAVE PLEASURES werden zwar als „A post-punk wet dream“ / „bat-shit lunatics“  angekündigt, sind aber offenbar deutlich dem Gothic Rock zugeneigt. Zumindest wenn der jetzt als Video vorgestellte Song `Society of Spectres` Video der finnischen Band, weiterhin  typisch sein sollte. Am 21. April erscheint das bereits dritte Album “Plagueboys“.

Gitarrist Juho Vanhanen kommentiert `Society of Spectres`:

„This song walks down a dark and crooked path that transcends into a nightmarish blood disco layer. That’s the place where all the ghouls gather to celebrate the downfall and feed on the masses.“

Lyrics:

The traveling circus bends your arm

Conscripted in the flesh game

A plague rolls through the quiet dales

A jungle of mutations

 

You’ve fallen in with banshees

You’re throwing votes to holy ghosts

Your face is in the furnace

You’ll spend your whole life on your knees

Society of Spectres

We’re painted shadows in a cave

Society of Spectres

Of spectres of spectres

 

If we look through this town

And the human puppets

Will the powers at work

Expose their secrets?

 

An uncontrollable

Sense of strangeness

Creeps into our beds

And keeps us silent

 

When you pull the curtains

The vipers shake the nest

When you drink the cool aid

You’ll be well rewarded

When they go for the throat

And they take you to task

And you’re up to your eyeballs

You’ll be shackled up to the end
