LOUD ARRIVER

pinkytheent As soon as Nylon Nights hit, those hooks were right in me and it was one blockbuster after another. Sonja create a supremely evocative atmosphere for the children of the night, of flashing colors and shadows, movement in the alleys, wild deeds afoot. The goth and traditional metal influences are just cooked to perfection and blend seamlessly with each other. The energy is just totally propulsive, throwing you forward, fist pumping, into the neon night. Favorite track: Nylon Nights.

abby you ever hear an album that sounds like it was recorded exclusively for you? that’s how i feel with this, with its mercyful fate but hella goth music and lyrics that seem to mirror a lot of my own experiences after coming out as a trans woman and transitioning, from the irrational hate, to the feeling of sexual freedom (and i say this not to take away from melissa’s experiences, which are unique to her and probably nowhere as similar to mine as i think.) my favorite album of the year. buy it! Favorite track: When The Candle Burns Low....

Thurston Dangerfield Can't stop listening to this album, front to back perfection. Gorgeous vocals, infectious lyricism, shredding riffs... This album bent me over and transported me to a multi dimensional heavy metal soundscape filled with hot goth trans women. This album gives me gender euphoria. 10/10 Favorite track: When The Candle Burns Low....

River deep, drown me and I might dream Tower high, drop me and down I'll fly I'll never die When the candle burns low Go where we go - go where the witches go The candle burns low Owe what you owe - and know what the witches know When the candle burns low Go where we go - go where the witches go The candle burns low Where cold fires burn and the hot winds blow - we know what the witches know I'll never die River deep, drown me and I might dream Tower high, drop me and down I'll fly I'll never die When the candle burns low Beyond freezing desert and burning snow - we go where the witches go The candle burns low Above solid air, beneath floating stone - we know what the witches know Burn low They call my name in the city below - we go where the witches go The candle burns low Our love will die, the way will show - we know what the witches know

Nylon Nights 04:34
Silhouette, stiletto high Sin tight leather shine, it’s nylon night Like a cat I’m there, outta sight Prowl in the night Danger and desire keep me alive Oh there’s nothing inside, nothing inside Now I feel your hunter’s eye I shimmer in the night No glamour It’s shadow Got no sympathy for light A black pit inside is what you’ll find Is it alright? Feel you looming in the chase One touch and I’m in chains You haunt me Not softly Show what emptiness is like Show it all tonight A monument of pain Sultry to death I’m barely flesh Silhouette, stiletto high Sin tight leather shine, it’s nylon night Like a cat I’m there, outta sight Prowl in the night Danger and desire keep me alive Oh there’s nothing inside, nothing inside at all Nylon Nights Nylon Nights Nylon Nights Nylon Nights Nylon Nights Nylon Nights Nylon Nights Nylon Nights Nylon Nights Nylon Nights Silhouette, stiletto high Sin tight leather shine, it’s nylon night Like a cat I’m there, outta sight Prowl in the night Danger and desire keep me alive Oh there’s nothing inside, nothing inside at all

Pink Fog 04:18
That night I saw myself A shadow, but somehow still alive At the bridge by the end of light (end of light) Wild sanctuary in the night Turning in desperation Only the dark in sight So far from any shelter And the witchfinders arrived Awake inside my cell My reckoning at hand I broke the curse of flesh (curse of flesh) The curse of woman; the curse of man I’m covered in their red Unlock the black inside Surrounded, bound and led The witchfinders decide Cry little baby, I know that you’re alive Cry little girl, I don’t know how you survived Surrounded, surrounded By witchfinders surrounded Surrounded, surrounded The witchfinders surrounding Surrounded, surrounded By witchfinders surrounded Surrounded, surrounded The witchfinders… Their corpses line the shore My shackles are lying in the sand Banished from the land of the sun (land of sun) I cast the symbols from my hand Dark caves are speaking my voice Beneath the moons of ancient youth The liar of the tides I seek the silent (truth)

Wanting me dead, they all want me dead I heard it when they said Wanting me dead they all want me dead I saw it when I read Wanting me dead, they all want me dead Never waking from my bed Wanting me dead, they all want me dead With a shotgun to the head I’ve been waitin’ Oh, right here Oh, I’m comin’ For them Priest and preacher wanting me dead In the congregation’s head Got the doctor wanting me dead The prescription that I get Mother and father wanting me dead Like brother and sister said Even the mirror wanting me dead My reflection burning red I’ve been waitin’ Oh, right here Oh, I’m comin’ For them She’s gonna start killing people She’s gonna start killing people She’s gonna start killing people Only way that she’s gonna survive the night She’s gonna start killing people Had it comin’ should be no surprise, don’t cry She’s gonna start killing people Gonna see the life leave their eyes as they die She’s gonna start killing people Feelin’ good and she’s ready to ride all night

I just wanna fuck all day and all night Can’t you hear the people dyin’ outside? End of the world is startin’ tonight We’ll be dead tomorrow I just wanna fuck all day and all night Nuclear warhead ready to strike Gonna make sure you’re feelin’ alright We’ll be dead tomorrow Time was never on our side I’ve got time... to make you mine ‘Cause we’ll be gone tomorrow We’ll be gone by tomorrow ‘Cause we’ll be dead tomorrow So, I just wanna fuck all day and all night Anything else is a waste of our time Gonna make sure you’re feelin’ alright We’ll be dead tomorrow We’ll be dead by tomorrow We will be dead tomorrow We’ll be dead by tomorrow We will be dead tomorrow Time was never on our side I’ve got time… To watch you die ‘Cause you’ll be dead tomorrow You’ll be dead by tomorrow You will be dead tomorrow Watch you die ‘Cause you’ll be dead tomorrow You’ll be dead by tomorrow So I just wanna fuck all day and then fuck all night I just wanna fuck all day and then fuck all night I just wanna fuck all day and then watch you die

Remember the day we learned to fly? In the summer sky When all the birds were dyin’ Strange figures floating in the light When someone caught our sight They knew to keep their silence But we could never let them go… No one can know So they’ll have to go We waited ‘till the time was right When the fire died They were the first to tire Together aiming in the night We could see them fine Our death arrows were flyin’ Gather arrows for your bow Before the dawn you’ll have to go Somewhere they won’t know Alone It’s getting cold She waited ‘till the time was right When the fire shined I was the first to tire Strange figure fading in the light In a silent time The broken clock was chimin’ And there was nowhere left to go

Tonight she arrived To where his body lied For one last time In his casket opened wide Climbed inside It was so cold between her thighs She rides him tightly And her moans from the chapel heard tonight So far away He heard her through the fire So far away Her tears flow as she’s moaning Tonight she arrived Well after he had died For one last time Ripped his casket opened wide Climbed inside It was so cold between her thighs She rides him tightly And her moans from the chapel heard tonight Tonight Tonight Tonight (He died hard) Tonight she arrived To where his body lied For one last time In his casket opened wide Climbed inside It was so cold between her thighs She rides him tightly And her tears still flow Tonight she arrived Well after he had died For one last time Left his casket opened wide Climbed inside It was so cold between her thighs She rides him tightly And her moans from the chapel heard tonight

Loud Arriver 05:39
Predatory instinct in their wild eyes that gleam The rhythm of my heartbeat in the silence of their dreams I hear the Heavy Metal, and I fully understand The wisdom I have stolen - like a weapon in my hand The gods of rock and roll demand my body and my mind I’ll never be controlled so I must take the throne as mine Arriving unexpectedly, I’m gonna leave just when I please So much louder than the rest, but I can hear them beg for me Pray to your god, ain’t no blessing to be found Deal with the devil for evil needed now Save all your love, I’m the one who’s comin’ round I’m gonna set you on fire, I’m the loud arriver It’s so mysterious, all my enemies in pain Don’t even know the rules but I always win the game Arriving unexpectedly, ya know I leave just when I please Too much louder than the rest, I hear them screaming from their knees Pray to your god, ain’t no blessing to be found Deal with the devil for evil needed now Save all your love, I’m the one who’s comin’ round I’m gonna set you on fire, I’m the loud arriver Pray to your god, ain’t no blessing to be found Deal with the devil for evil needed now Save all your love, I’m the one who’s comin’ round I’m gonna set you on fire, I’m the loud arriver

about

Sonja Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

At the first hint of dusk a primal terror awakens inside me

Ruinous desire swirling in the air

Unpredictable strangers on the hunt to fulfill their darkest fantasies

I know they're all coming for me again tonight

A pack of wolves coming to devour

And they might get me this time...

But I'll take a piece of every one of their souls as payment
