    We came up with this nifty name on the fly. It's a knee-slapper, don't ya think? Well, anyways. It's a Gildan Ringstyle Softspun (the most comfy shirts) in white and it comes with a black, durable print of the detail of the skeletal falcon from the NEW SHIT EP.

  • Bag

    Who doesn't know the feeling? You're fresh out of your stupid full time job for the day, just wanted to pop into BILLA for a quick deep freeze pizza... but since tomorrow is a holiday the whole fkkin world needs to buy a hundred packages of toilet paper, you stand there with your thawing pizza, too deep in the line to drop out, waiting for the cashier to get a damn move on.

    It's moments like these when they appear: our unsung heroes, the real, unafraid Vienna OG's. The old codger, somewhere behind you in line, shouting "ZWEITE KASSA, BITTE!".

    You jump out of your line towards the second cash register, throw your pizza on the conveyor belt and know: everything is going to be okay. Soon you'll be out of here, sitting at home, eating your pizza.

    Well, you can be the hero from now on. Say it with your bag. Every day. All day! Zweite Kassa, bitte!     ... more

about

Novgorod, with its epic almost two minute long instrumental intro, stands firmly as the EP's closing track. After a nonlinear structure where one heavy riff chases down the other, the grand finale of the song is a shredding outro that takes the 132bpm headbanger to a 180bpm moshpit frenzy.

lyrics

The Varangians carry on
Into the realm of the Byzantine sun
Slavic tribes seek for might
And through the struggles some wish to reunite

They call a chief from afar
A man to reform the land of future Tsars
A Varangian prince came by ship
He took control, the great Rurik

And as the years go by
Kievan Rus are rising high
First eastern laws apply
Teaching men to read, to write

As arts and business thrive
Here - foreign kings reside
During the Mongol strife
All within those walls stay safe

Novgorod won‘t fall
Not to the Mongols
Not against the Swedes
From the battle of Neva your story proceeds

Solo Savage


So as the years go by
Fought the battle on the ice with pride
Many nations you defy
The source of money you signify

Novgorods weakness was its size
Too many people its demise
Too little grain to keep all fed
Too many mouths, to little bread

Moscow brought you war
They put you in an uproar
They made you part of their land
Civilians killed or banned

Under Tsar Ivan IV
The Russian troops march forth
In 1570
At the massacre of Novgorod, face your destiny
