Tyler The title track sounds like a lost cut from the Banshees' Tinderbox! The whole album hits hard--I was captivated from the opening of The Long Road... all the way to the end of ...to Nowhere. Give it a listen and support this band so they can keep making killer music! Favorite track: Tomorrow.

ghastlycrumbtiny_dj If you have an opportunity to catch Nyx Division live DO NOT MISS IT! It was quite hard to choose a favorite track as Black Glass is also a favorite. Monet's soul searing vox and Evil Eddie's saxxy charms made for a wonderfully entrancing live! experience. My penchant for hard hitting protest sounds in deathrock is what made me choose Blood for Sale. Gawsh, I have decision making paralysis so this was incredibly difficult!
Favorite track: Blood For Sale.

Hexcat Choosing my favourite track in this album was very difficult because of how good all the tracks are but also because of the amount of experimentation here.

Black Glass as an example is wonderful post-punk song that incorporates a saxophone in the music itself.

This is a surprise but a welcome one as there just isn't enough saxophone usage in post-punk. And it goes wonderfully with this song.

I am excited to see in what new directions Nyx Division goes because this was an absolute treat! Favorite track: Black Glass.

It’s a long, long road to nowhere Nowhere And a long, long life left to get there Get there All my shadows sang away All the smoke in memory’s way It’s a long, long road to nowhere

Dead Man 04:02
She sings like a bird in heaven She glows like the golden sands She loves like nothing better Who wouldn’t want a love like that? No man alive would take that love Hand feed it to the dogs in hell No man alive, no man alive No man alive would take that love Let it drown as the river swells No man alive, no man alive There must be a dead man comin’ round There must be a dead man on the prowl So keep your good love covered Don’t let your longing make a sound Keep your heart ache shuttered Cuz I’ve seen a dead man comin' round I see a dead man comin' round No man alive would take my love Hand feed it to the dogs in hell No man alive, no man alive No man alive would waste my love Let it drown as the river swells No man alive, no man alive He’s born from the jackal’s shadow His heart is a cruel design Who wouldn’t want a love like mine? I’ve seen a dead man walking I’ve seen his heart rot on the vine I cried for ages trying Just to shake him outta my mind Beware the deadman comin' round (x2) I see a dead man walking I see a dead man comin' round Beware the dead man Beware the dead man on the prowl When your heart fills with quicksand You’re in the arms of a deadman

Is is any wonder I lost sleep? You cut me down in daylight, in my dreams Take the blood and will it into song All the heart I have is never gone ‘Cause loves on my side Love is on my side Any ole way you use it, I don’t care Take my heart and bruise it, I don’t care ‘Cause I just keep on moving, I ain’t scared Like a soldier of love Is it any wonder I still smile? Can’t put a chain around a heart so wild Though you tried to bleed me like a lamb I carry on a scarred and better man ‘Cause loves on my side Love is on my side Any ole way you use it, I don’t care Take my heart and bruise it, I don’t care ‘Cause I just keep on moving, I ain’t scared Like a soldier of love Love is on my side Is it any wonder I still dream? As all your broken sorries fade away Now you’re just a memory I survived ‘Cause love is on my side

Black Glass 06:25
I’ve been trying to thread these dreams in my head and Lips on my face Honey and hammer Lighten the timbre Wait for the moon to change My red heart, come quickly Break the fall Oh good love, you made my shadows crawl I bloom for you And it feels like the suns gunna shine And it feels like gold My heart in your heart in mine Just put your hands against the black glass baby And I’ll stay till death takes me Calico daughter Kiss in the water Waning the terror blue Velvet and moonshine Don’t let it go this time I’ve got a world brand new Say your mine And I’d climb heavens high Oh good love, you make my shy heart sigh I bloom for you And it feels like the suns gunna shine And it feels like gold My heart in your heart in mine Just put your hands against the black glass baby And I’ll stay till death takes me Just put your love against the black glass baby And I’ll stay till death takes me

Tomorrow 04:41
March on, the light might fade away What if tomorrow never comes? It’s your life, your light, don’t let it fade Will you wait… Raise your heavy head Lifes not over yet Sick with the blight of indifference Waiting for the last call, waiting for the bitter end Ha! Ooo, Who will you run to? Ooo, What will you fight for? Ooo, it’s life on your feet or life on your knees, go! March on, the light might fade away What if tomorrow never comes? It’s your life, your light, don’t let it fade Will you wait? Fight your dissonance Kiss the stars instead Bright with the shine of a better end Turning on the axis, rise to the difference The river’s cry: I know your heart You belong to the world The mountains cry: I know your heart You belong to the world They’ll try in vain to deny you A lover courageous inside you A love untethered to greed so cruel Well let ‘em come, let ‘em have it With open arms or clenched fist A life you love is not so distant March on, the light might fade away What if tomorrow never comes? It’s your life, your light, don’t let it fade What if tomorrow never comes?

It is never enough, no matter the cost In pitiful thrones, rich boys play god In the thread of the noose your hand is the knot In the belly of war its your at the crux Another memory gone Another heart impaled And in the mother’s eyes You see blood for sale The merciless cost Of the world you fail And in the child’s eyes You see blood for sale You swallow the truth You swallow the knife You’d gut the world For a dead man’s price All blue sky gone Just rubble remains As the bombs rain down In vast, open graves—again Another memory gone Another heart impaled And in the mother’s eyes You see blood for sale The merciless cost Of the world you fail And in the child’s eyes You see blood for sale Blood for sale When the hammer comes down And you’re the nail What then, what then, what then of your blood for sale Blood for sale

Desert Rose 04:14
Wasting time again Praying in the desert for rain You promised me the roses And the grandeur of the chosen But when I needed you most Where was your heart full of trouble? Where was your desert rose? Mercy, emergency You won’t care until it’s your skin Mercy, emergency The shape of you walking away Wasting time again Knowing this’ll never change You promised me a garden And left me battered and disheartened When I needed you most Where was your heart full of trouble? Where was your desert rose? Mercy, emergency You won’t care until it’s your skin Mercy, emergency The shape of you walking away You’ve become the monster that made you Who’s killing me now And no one can save you Color your condition a curse A man without a heart to burn Mercy, emergency You won’t care until it’s your skin Mercy, emergency The shape of me walking away

Midnight at the moonlit disco Hot lights in the desperate shadows Your blue stare, it could turn roses stone The stars here don’t seem to shine alone Oh, the way you move You put the Man in romance I hate to see you leave so soon Let’s get out of here Midnight and the stars hang so low Making your eyes burn like a halo It’s alright, baby let your hair hang down Just tonight, be the fool with a crown Oh, the way you move You put the Man in romance I hate to see you leave so soon Let’s get out of here Call it fate call it what you will Just don’t let go until the world stands Still
