My daddy said “boy don’t you see
That nothing in this world is free,
It’s all broken backs and
bloody hands working the soil”
An I’ll be damned if the old man ain’t right
You know the put me out here on the line
And I saw some things that
no one should ever have seen
So drive me out past the county line
You know I need to be a stranger for a while
Now love is a question I’ve heard
That nobody ever gets right
Just stab in the dark and
shoot off our sparks In the night
So girl don’t you cry if I go
You know that it’s always the same
Just subtle plots twisting and
Shifting of faces and names
So drive me out past the county line
You know I need to be a stranger for a while

Niku No Sekai's latest project is an enchanting and mystical release to behold for the listener, starting with the swelling and ever-shifting sound of "WW4," it introduces the dank, atmospheric ambiance to permeate the mix. There is chilling percussion, heavy acoustic looping, buzzing chimes, and a myriad of instrumental changes happening within each piece. There is a beautiful satisfaction and haunting presence lurking in Flesh World Vol. 1, and it beckons to be listened. Check this out~ Dave T.
