about

This song was conceived as a musical journey from 1968-2019. Between the TX7, the Triton and the vintage cameras I got for the video, this is probably the most expensive song I've done so far. The 1968 section was actually mixed 1968-style on 4 tracks with a reduction mix.
The 1996 segment is unashamedly based on Bal Sagoth's style from that period, and was a lot of fun to do.

lyrics

Time... Travelling through time...

1968, love in the air and it feels so great
Groovy is the word
Live how you are and just ignore the herd

1973 and things are cool
If you have got the bread you need to pay for fuel

1983 goes by
Home computers multiply

Time... Travelling through time...

(1991)

And Lo, brandishing axes and swords they came,
The Acolytes of Byron did descend into the shadows
halls of... The Academy

The year is 1996 – the gods of metal smile on thee
By XP-50 and M1, the stage is set for victory

And thus did the Acolytes of Byron march forth
From that sacred place, bearing songs in their arms
And victory in the hearts!

2003, 2003, 2003...

(Excerpt from ‘The Murder Game’, 2013)

Time... Travelling through time...
