Lute FP Holy crap these guys are good. I expected a black-n-roll Motorhead clone by the album cover, but nope. Then for about a minute I expected standard fare metallic rock. Wrong again.

This is classic metal rivaling the original masters, but with an updated sound.

Within the first few minutes you are treated to a Bonham-esque drum solo and a Malmsteen-esque quitar solo, but tastefully done rather than bombastic. The songwriting and production are great, the vocals excellent. Killer album.

Big Al 666 The Greatest Live show I have seen in a long, long time. And I have seen a lot. GEQ is carrying the torch of Rock & Roll and heavy music for future generations. They give it all on that stage. I left that show a believer. Indeed, Rock & Roll Lives! Favorite track: Seeker of the Flame.

Colin M. One of the undeniable highlights of Doomed and Stoned III, GEQ put on a show that I'll not soon forget. Super cool dudes playing super cool tunes, with a ripper of an album to boot. Hell yeah. Favorite track: Wicked Hands.

Bucky Chapter II sees a steady growth of facial chop not only physically but sonically as the southern CA beach boys launch their riff wagon deep into the outer playa of the atmosphere where heavy metal grows on trees and rhythm is carved by shards of beer cans fueled by the stench of shotgun foam. OF EARTH continues on the journey of the party riff complete with mucho drum solos and Viking level vocal progression led by next level guitar thrashery.

James Murphy Faithful member of, The Church of Great Electric Quest...Live they are only matched by legends, this is their party, and they will give you a good time... Mucho (drums) and Buddy (guitar) are often times distracting from the full cohesive unit here, all the pieces work masterfully to create a great album... This has been one of my favorite albums this year, but everyone needs to visit their older material, and see them live, it's worth missing work the next day Favorite track: Anubis.

Seeker, you find what you need! Carry the torch hold it high in the deepest of caves You will see lives of the past and the need to create Oh, back when they roamed The Buffalo, they showed us where to go! We cross the land spear in had for the food that we seek They take us to water, warmth, and the things that we need Fire in hand, we reached the shore Now we must go explore! Oh, back when they roamed. The Buffalo, they showed us where to go! Oh, back when they roamed. The Buffalo, they showed us where to go! As the seeker you must find All of things that the past has left behind Creators, Destroyers across the sea We explore our own world, soon the galaxy Seeker it seems that we must hope That the chains that contain will let us go Travelers, Explorers the galaxy The only destination left to seek! (x2)

Anubis 03:18
Stand! At the foot of the gods The weight of your heart On his scale tells everything Will your eternal soul Be welcomed Into the realm of the dead Lord of the underworld With his canine head The halls are lined with blood Gold luxuries jewels The curious and the brave Beware Anubis's Tomb Stand! With your heart in your hand In the line of the Dead Protector of the graves Opener of gates The halls are lined with blood Gold luxuries jewels The curious and the brave Beware Anubis's Tomb The god of cemeteries Lord of graves He shall weigh your heart Death just the start Stand! With your heart in your hand In the line of the Dead Protector of the graves Opener of gates

I know there's some things That just don’t seem to right The loneliest creature Called at the End of the Night And I know there's things That you can't understand You can't hold my heart If I can't hold your hand You know when ya speak All the boys hear your sounds The hips that you move Can make a room spin-around And I know there's things That you can't understand| You can't hold my heart If I can't hold your hand And oh You think its true The Love that your given Can never truly come back to you You think that you know all the girls in your town you know that they’re dreaming about bringing you down And I know there's things That you can't understand You can't hold my heart If I can't hold your hand And oh You think its true The Love that your given Can never truly come back to you And oh The Madness that you crave The twisted Love Lines intertwine From all the mess you make I know there's some things That just don’t seem to right The loneliest creature Called at the End of the Night And I know there's things That you can't understand You can't hold my heart If I can't hold your hand And oh You think its true The Love that your given Can never truly come back to you

Cast aside the secret minds Leave them alone Only the creatures are home Days gone by all the freed will say Lovin' the creatures as they stayed away Only the crash of a Wave They'll run that day Only your mind can see Only the people read Only the things that you know I could see the places Only the faces Erase your mind and go Creature it seems so lonely And I see they only way To unlock all off the minds And reach the days they'll find And oh my Love Can't you see will rise above Above the flame so we cannot die and all the shame my love Only the secret of the mind Only the will of the heart Only the time The time that is takes For us to fall apart Only the creatures and Only the seekers and Only the things that die! Only the life left on the world To see the days turn to dark And oh my Love Can't you see we rise above All of the time And of the hurt And all of the shame of our world And I know we can dream above Into a place of faith and hope In humankind! Only for creatures and Only for seekers and All of the teachers you've know Will they come back Will they reward All of the things that they taught before It came outta Love Into your hearts above It teaches to know all the ways It came from the heart of Love I see you again Mildly thinkin' I was a livin' Oh you can only see The Heart Inside The Son Only I see The shadows cast down to the Earth And over me Oh no I see the Earth Roll and tumble around The World I can see The only time that life will be free The only time that life will break free

about

We want to invite you to a killer party! There's gonna be cavemen, interstellar aliens, Egyptian deities, temptress women, A crazy dealer of fate dude and a whole bunch of different humans coming together. It's a celebration where you can leave your concept of time and reality at the door. There's too much of that stuff all over the place and it just gets in the way of a good time. Chapter II is just another journey on our "Great Electric Quest," the quest to keep true rock 'n' roll alive. We aim to do our part, as Judas Priest says, we are, "defenders of the faith!" and so are you!
