AND THE CIRCUS MUSIC BEATS ON THE DRUMS
BITTER-SWEET SENSATION UNDER THE STRUMS
MELANCHOLY SPREADS THROUGHOUT DREAMERS
EMPTINESS SCRAPED UP FROM SPEAKERS
I’LL WAKE UP, REGAIN LUCIDITY
MEMORIES SCRATCHING REALITY
REVERBERATIONS OF PASTEL COLORS REIGN
AND I WON'T BE WRITING THIS SONG, I DON’T COMPLAIN
OTHERWHERE...
TONIGHT I HAD A VIVID, REAL DREAM:
PINK RABBITS TOGETHER AS A TEAM
...AND THEY GO AS THEY'VE COME, GLEAMING
BUT I'M LEFT WITH A GOOD FEELING
I’LL WAKE UP, REGAIN LUCIDITY
MEMORIES SCRATCHING REALITY
REVERBERATIONS OF PASTEL COLORS REIGN
AND I WON'T BE WRITING THIS SONG OF WOLFSBANE
OTHERWHERE...

LIVING WITNESSES FROM MILITANT EYES
NEAR THE CLIFF
I DON’T REMEMBER ALL THE PLACES WHERE I WAS, THE FACES OF BLUFF
THE WORLD HAS ALWAYS BEEN MORE OR LESS THE SAME
BIG FISH EATS SMALL FISH
WE ARE AS WE ARE, WE ARE AN ALMS DISH
SELF-ESTEEM IS AN IMPORTANT PROSPECTIVE
THE BODY, AN ELEMENT TO CARE ABOUT
POSSIBLE STRATEGIES TO ACHIEVING THE OBJECTIVE
GASPING, IN SEARCH OF BLOWOUT
STAG BEETLE…
DESIRES ARE A WORLD THAT DOES NOT EXIST
IMPRACTICABLE DEMANDS
LITTLE MATTERS
I JUST WANT TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS TO SAND IN MY HANDS
STAG BEETLE…

ECSTATIC ASTONISHMENT IN FRONT OF WHICH THE WORD GIVES WAY
GRAY BACKGROUNDS, CORE SOUL AND SMALL PRIMITIVE ACTS OF CRUELTY EVERY DAY
MIGRATORY ACTS INTERCEPTED BETWEEN THE DENSE CLOUDS
ABOVE THE DAILY INSIGNIFICANCE AND THOUGHTFUL SWALLOWING CROWDS
THE SKY CAN NO LONGER CONTAIN ITSELF AND IS SPLATTERING PURPLE
DISTORTION AND DISLOCATION IN A SATURATED GURGLE

The Unreal Skyline

REPETITIVE, SERIAL JOBS
FAR FROM GOD AND LIGHT
FAR FROM SOCIAL SNOBS
AN UNEXPECTED SUDDEN PARADISE
MOLTEN GOLD IN A CAGE OF MICE
STREAM OF CONSCIOUSNESS?...
STIFF MUSCLES, READY TO SUDDENLY SPRING
READY TO SING
WITH A FRESH BRAND NEW YAWN
I LAUGH AT MY PHOTOS OF THE DAWN
TO TAKE STOCK OF PROMISING MOMENTS
PRETENDING THEY'LL NEVER END
SQUINCHING EYES TO BLUR THE SKYLINE
AND RENDER IT AN UNREAL BEND
STIFF MUSCLES, READY TO SUDDENLY SPRING
READY TO SING
WITH A FRESH BRAND NEW YAWN
I LAUGH AT MY PHOTOS OF THE DAWN

FLOWS THAT RULE THE STORM
SCREAMING AND FURIOUS, IT TAKES FORM
RUNAWAY WATERS CREATE WALLS IN THE OCEAN
COLD DUNES IN CONSTANT MOTION
THE MOON IS A BEACON LIGHTING UP ODDITIES ON EARTH
THE UNFATHOMABLE MYSTERY OF DEATH, LIFE AND BIRTH
ALL UNNECESSARY GUILT MUST BE PUT ASIDE
TO HIT THE CHOSEN TARGET, WITH PRECISION, DURING LOW TIDE
HUMAN BEINGS ARE MASTERS OF LIES AND DECEPTION
EVERYTHING COLLAPSES AROUND MY HOUSE OF REDEMPTION
TO READ A SENTENCE AT RANDOM IN AN ESSAY
TO CHOOSE IT AS THE DOGMA OF THE DAY
LIKE WHEN IT'S RAINING OUTSIDE...
YOU GET THE RIGHT ANSWER IF YOU ASK A RHETORICAL QUESTION
YOU GET THE RIGHT ANSWER IF YOU DO NOT RAISE AN OBJECTION
THE MOON IS A BEACON LIGHTING UP ODDITIES ON EARTH
THE UNFATHOMABLE MYSTERY OF DEATH, LIFE AND BIRTH
ALL UNNECESSARY GUILT MUST BE PUT ASIDE
TO HIT THE CHOSEN TARGET, WITH STRENGTH, DURING LOW TIDE

CLOSE THE DOOR BEHIND YOU
AND LET’S DANCE UNTIL THE DAY IS GONE
6 HOURS AND 40 MINUTES UNTIL THE ESCAPE TOWARDS HOME
I'VE BEEN WORKING FULL TIME TO SURVIVE FOR 20 YEARS
AND HAVE LESS THAN ONE MONTH OF HOLIDAYS AND BEERS
WHY WASN'T I BORN RICH?
AT THIS TIME, I'D BE GOING AROUND THE WORLD PLAYING ROCK 'N' ROLL
AND INSTEAD I'M HERE DANCING IN A ROOM IN PERFECT PITCH
FANCULO MONDO
FANCULO MONDO
FUCK SELF-CONTROL
UGLY MUSIC FROM THE RADIO
BUT COMPARED TO THE COMPANY, IT SOUNDS LIKE A BIRD SONG I KNOW
SILENT PARTNERS OF DISMAY LOOK AT ME,
A DEAD SPIDER, A MOSQUITO PLAYING BANJO
LAUGH AT ME, RIGHTLY SO
WHY WASN'T I BORN RICH?
AT THIS TIME I'D BE GOING AROUND THE WORLD PLAYING ROCK'N'ROLL
AND INSTEAD I'M HERE DANCING IN A ROOM IN PERFECT PITCH
FANCULO MONDO
FANCULO MONDO
FUCK SELF-CONTROL

SMALL AWAKENING FROM ANESTHESIA, PAINFUL LUCIDITY IN DOUBT
IT SYNTHESIZES AND SUMMARIZES THE CRASH AND THUD FROM INSIDE OUT
TO PLAY THE HUNTING ANIMAL WHILE TRYING TO AVOID THE FATE OF THE PREY
TODAY, TOMORROW, A CONSTANT, I DARE TO SAY

DYING OCEAN, DEAD HEAD
WATCHIN' THE FIGURES
MARCH WITHOUT SOUL
OBSERVE THE PAGES
SAFE PLACE
WITHOUT YOUR SKY
FULL OF ME
FULL OF ME
DYING OCEAN, DEAD HEAD
WATCHIN' ALL THE FIGURES
WALK WITHOUT SOUL
WITHOUT SOUL
WITHOUT SOUL

Review on www.chaindlk.com by Marc Urselli
“Ecstatic astonishment...” these words, found in the lyrics of the third track called “Splattering Purple”, perfectly describe my reaction to this album.
“Flying Stag” is some kind of a thrash metal rooted songwriter's album – stripped down to drums, guitars and voice. It’s loaded with catchy guitar riffs and odd meters, there’s even a decent touch of djent and industrial here and there, with some kind of punk attitude in the mix.
It doesn’t surprise, since Daniele Brusaschetto started off as a thrash and death metal musician in the 80ies. In the 90ies he took new creative paths and played in bands such as Whip (industrial), Mudcake (noise rock) and Down! (avant-garde/impro). With “Flying Stag” he goes back to his metal roots – with 90ies metal guitar sounds, versatile playing, catchy riffs and short solos. The drummer, Alberto “Mono” Marietta, is doing a truly impressive performance through the whole record - with an absolutely great drum sound! Almost modest in his playing (thereby giving a lot of space to the voice and the guitar) – always supportive, a very solid and straight forward drumming.
From the very first heavy riffs of the first song “Otherwhere” this album totally kicks ass! This track, 5 minutes long, takes interesting twists and turns in regards of structure. I would like to highlight here, that I absolutely loved the vocals on this track. It reminded me a bit of a Marilyn Manson kind of singing, paired with the the non-chalantly, charmingly snotty attitude of a rebellious, young Joe Strummer (The Clash), and yet, the singing is also soulful at the same time. This singing style took me by total surprise – in the best way possible – because it makes this record sound really personal - like a songwriter’s album - which gives a creative contrast to the heavy intensity performed on the guitars and drums.
This contrast gets even more emphasized on the second song “Stag Beetle”, especially in the mid-part of the song, when Daniele takes his voice to the higher register: it almost sounds like Peter Hammill singing metal. This is a wonderful momentum and I think, Daniele could do this more often!
The intro of “Splattering Purple” sounds like a metal tango dance between guitar and drums and then it totally leaps forward into the heaviness of oldschool metal as we heard it on the tracks before, but with different stylistics. This tracks also introduces Daniele’s growling skills.
“Splattering Purple” is followed by the very intense and creative “The Unreal Skyline”, which is my personal favourite track on this record. There are moments on this song which remind me a bit of the first record of Stone Sour. This track is really dark and rich in sound.
“Like When It’s Raining Outside” is the longest track on the record (7:36 minutes), a very interesting, colourful song – revealing the arranging skills of Daniele. Then comes the maybe heaviest and angriest song of them all, called “Fanculo Mondo”, featuring Daniele’s maybe thrashiest guitar playing and also a lot more of his growl skills. The last track “From a Tight Angle” summarizes the “peculiar metal nostalgia”, as I would describe this record, into one big final crescendo before “Flying Stag” leaves its listener in the aftershock of an “ecstatic astonishment”.
“Flying Stag” is a bold album, skilfully played, but never ostentatious. Total headbang-material, oldschool metal and punk spirit with unconventional songwriting – a combination which makes this record so astonishing and almost, as I mentioned it before, a bit peculiar. At the same time, “Flying Stag” is a very honest and personal album of a versatile musician, who already walked a long journey of many different stylistic paths in music, and who is courageous and mature enough - as a songwriter as well as a guitarist - to insert experience and skills without bragging – and yet, without understatement either. His own musical language is balanced, rich and always present through all seven tracks. The album is very saturated in sound and ideas, but it never sounds like “too much”. And best of it all: it absolutely NEVER gets boring! It’s an album I loved to listen from the beginning to the end, four times in a row. The only thing I missed sometimes was the depths in the sound spectrum, due to the absence of bass, I guess – but maybe it’s also just my listening habits and my personal love for low frequencies.
I am sure, the musicians had a lot of fun playing this music, this is obvious and a pleasure to hear. A big compliment from my side to the two musicians, Daniele Brusaschetto and Alberto “Mono” Marietta, who involve the listeners with their attention and curiosity from the beginning to the end. Absolutely recommended!
