Death has been haunting me The truth is all I see Death has been calling me Will I rest in peace?

THE PATH TO THE DEATHLESS When I was born, I was never dead Life, it crept into my head Comin' out of a big black hole Opened my mind, opened my soul I walk the path The Path To The Deathless Coming out of the hole again Comin' 'round and up and again Climbing up the mountainside Spread my ash o'er the oceanside I walk the path The Path To The Deathless They don't know They don't know Like I know They don't know Livin' in the shadows (x2) I walk the path The Path To The Deathless

Embrace the Moment Don’t Let It Go When the Heat Has Burned You and Got Your Goat Just remember, The Crystal Caverns Are Below So When You Gaze Up, Let it Flow Desert Moon Will Consume Magnified the highest zoom Roadrunner, what’s the connection Stoner Sunrise In a possible direction. It’s coming from the valley, rising up…. Ultraviolet light Coming from a sphere Many many miles away The Glow Up In the Sky Taking over your soul Turns Your Mind In the Eye of the Snake On a dusty road The dawn was the night Started to call you Rising from the valley So full and bright The power takes you over Overnight Desert Moon Will Consume Magnified the highest zoom Roadrunner, what’s the connection Stoner Sunrise In a possible direction.

Death I Am 04:57
Heat rises off the highway Buzzards over head The desert always stones me Can't get you out of my head I don't know where I'm going I don't know where I've been I don't know where I'm going Death I Am Oh, my head's so dizzy Fire on the plains Stare through the empty Watch you begin to change I don't know where I'm going I don't know where I've been I don't know where I'm going Death I Am Death I Am Death I Am Whoa, holy mountain My old friend Show me how to peel back Oh, and shed my skin Start over again I don't know where I'm going I don't know where I've been I don't know where I'm going Death I Am Death I Am Start over again

There’s nothing left I can give you. Time, Money or Worth Hypnotic Poison Of this existence Are you drifting within the hurt It’s a struggle, a test of will This Unlife Disharmony Patience is facing your execution with calm, pride and dignity I trade the mask for the halo I stole the face for my grave I made you ask why we steal low You have taken my home Poisoned my land and sky Killed My family and friends Left the children out to die Upon your Frail, Upon you - - - - - - , Night brings dreams of Hell, wont bring your mind to cry If you can keep your head up and all about you While they’re losing theirs and blaming it on you, if you can trust yourself, when all men distrust you, make a loudness for them doubting it too If you can hear the truth you spoke, twisted - - - - Watch your life become broken Build it back up, with worn out - There’s nothing left I can give you This Unlife - - - - - Absurd Disharmonious way to give you With false hope and empty words

Revelation 02:31
Death Goddess came to me Said “You'll never die Death shall not be the end Look into my eyes” Mindfullness The Path To The Deathless The Heedless Are already dead Sun Goddess came to me “Look through the hole in the sky No beginning, no end Look into my mind” Mindfullness The Path to The Deathless The Heedless Are already dead.

Swallowed by the Sea As the sun descends So far away at the water's edge Regrettably leaving all of us behind As Lahanna to watches o’er the sky Wishing it could stay, to relive the day A slave to its own way While the wanderings of the moon Have their way Sleep comes And then we wait For the tide to return Will the moon allow us to be Swallowed by the sea The waves came lapping close But still so far away, for to dissipate our fears of being Swallowed by the sea Death embrace me as I embrace you For I know that I am unbound Waiting for the ebb of the tide For I know I’ll never truly die

Red Mesa's third studio album is a concept about death and beyond. This full-length features the blend of desert rock/doom metal/heavy psych/western singer-songwriter/folk that only the Albuquerque, NM trio can create and deliver.
No doubt, this is Red Mesa's heaviest and most exciting album to date.

Guest musicians include:
Wino (The Obsessed, Spirit Caravan) on "Disharmonious Unlife"
Dave Sherman (Eathride, Galactic Cross, Spirit Caravan) on "Desert Moon"

Recorded at Empty House Studio by Matthew Tobias (OM, SuperGiant, Al Cisneros solo albums) and mastered by John McBain (original guitarist of Monster Magnet) in January and February of 2020.

Original album artwork by Joshua Mathus.
