Nylon Nights 04:34
Silhouette Stiletto high Sin tight leather shine, its 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 off tonight A monument of pain; sultry to death...I'm barely flesh Silhouette Stiletto high Sin tight leather shine, its 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 x 10 Silhouette Stiletto high Sin tight leather shine, its 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

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 wakin from my bed Wanting me dead, they all want me dead With a shotgun to the head Oh, 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 Oh, 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 The 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 Lookin' good and she's ready to ride all night

about

The origin of SONJA according to Melissa:

It is unacceptable for me to consider a life without true heavy metal as this is my faux religion and addiction. I was feverish and panicking over this in 2014, so I called the best drummer I knew, Grzesiek Czapla, and it was immediately obvious what we had to do. At this point our musical lives were within extreme black, death, grind and thrash bands, but we eagerly accepted our destiny to ignite the timeless rock spirit in the form of freshly tempered dark steel.


The two of us stealthily played through covers of Judas Priest, Mercyful Fate, Venom, Manowar, Witchfinder General, etc. as we sought to hone our craft by infusing ourselves within the songs of the greats. Early on it was rough and raw, but progress came quickly. The aura was there, and we knew we needed to protect and nurture it. I didn't trust an outsider to have the spirit to sing for us so I said "Give me a year to become a vocalist...I promise I'll be ready.”


We needed a bassist, and we needed a person that was going to add their unique greatness to the band. Only one person had the shapes and skills to stand this tall. We absolutely needed to recruit Ben Brand. He answered the call.


From day one this band has had a strong vision, and we consider it our duty to serve that vision. As a result, we take a long time to make sure that what we are crafting is totally on point. It's a cohesive sound and we prioritize hooks above all. Real heavy metal fire has to be there in every song along with sensual dark rhythms. No one shows up to the dojo with a full song and says "play this." We write the music together in the same room. This is a band about songwriting, and the songs are bigger than anything else about us.


My experiences, dreams, and nightmares in this binary cis hellscape we call civilization are what I write about. I've never heard songs like this before, and they are intended to be a codex or key for defiant spirits to unlock the raw power of nihilistic rock and to harness it...or let it harness them.

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
