about

On the Shore was inspired by the scenes in the Cormac McCarthy book “The Road” when the man and the boy reach the coast.
I spend a lot of time at Ocean Beach in San Francisco in the early mornings and often with no one else around so it’s easy to indulge in post apocalyptic fantasies about this scenario.
I had worked with Laurie Shanaman before on some Hazzard’s Cure material and we had talked about doing more in the future so I jumped at the chance to get here to sing the harmonies on the chorus with me because I had a feeling that this part would be perfect for her actual clean singing voice, and it was.

lyrics

On the Shore

When you wake you you’re on the shore alone
Just the distant calls of seagulls
Let your mind go with the waves that roll
Count the days in a pile of stones
What remains of bleached and brittle bones
As your thoughts become the waves that roll
In this grey and god forsaken world
You could call it paradise
And you’re sure you’re never coming home
Count the days in a pile of stones
What remains of bleached and brittle bones
As your thoughts become the waves that roll

Hidden History of the Human Race

supported by 4 fans who also own “On the Shore”

never been a big death metal fan but this is actually super accessible for the genre, has fun concepts, and personally i'm always a fan of albums with short tracklists and huge runtimes (for individual songs) Great time, good jumping on point for newbies too. alienasu

This band definitely covers a lot of ground, but in a good way. Very original and with a few listens they will suck you in. Favorite track is "The Way". Very Mercyful Fate-ish. G-ram74
