Back to the Monastery – Grails

For the past few months, I’ve been hooked on Grails‘ Black Tar Prophecies and Take Refuge In Clean Living, with their singles Back to the Monastery and Stoned at the Taj Again luring me in. If there existed a soundtrack to epics of the gods whom hail from Greece, Babylon, Sumeria, India, Egypt and beyond, Grails would certainly be the composer. Roam these decaying streets, and you will be struck with Grails’ essence. An opium den for the shaman and the guru, smoke ascending into a milky haze of glory as wine and herbal remedies are indulged.

The Gorgon Sisters dine with Dionysus; Eros paired with Hades, Athena coupled with Ares, all the while Calliope ditches her harp for a guitar.
