about

The Atomic Plough tells the story of a medieval catapult on tank tracks, V12 powered with a merlin nuclear engine. Its core source of power is its colossal brain encased in double glazed glass. A healthy stream of uranium is pumped into the frontal lobe every 3 minutes to ensure steady behaviour and rational decision-making. It roams the atomic wastes in its quest for crude oil, as the brain craves this virulent substance. This mixed with an unhealthy amount of Amphetamine has become a staple in the ploughs diet. It has become dependent on the lasting effects, which include fast heartbeat and breathing, teeth grinding, reduced appetite and increased sex drive.

The Atomic Plough is a tale of love, lust and thermonuclear fusion. A cautionary tale for us all, a melting heart could lead to a partial core melt. Don’t fall in love because your brain could be extracted and placed into a machine and used as a vehicle on Highway Eternal. A highway filled with nothing but despair and discourage. Don’t ask.

lyrics

Super jets, super brain
Super Machine powered by flame
Gasoline in my blood
Tank tracks encrusted in mud
V12, oil burn
Senses explode as I gurn
Catapult, gatling gun
Enriched uranium by the tonne

Cracking lightning through the sky
Fossil fuels make me high
Ancient forests feed the fire
Fuel injected blood shot eyes

The atomic plough digs up the ground
Four hundred miles an hour, drawn by Satan’s hound
The atomic plough quakes the earth
One thousand decibels and massive girth

Merlin Engine in the back
200 foot Marshall stack
Super charger in the front
Face numb and sore as I munt

Speed king, its my game
Vomit inducing acid rain
Greenhouse gasses it's my crutch
I crave the smell of burning clutch

Atomic engine drives the beast
Brings down the wall piece by piece
Iron thunder through the blaze
Atom splits end the days

The atomic plough digs up the ground
Four hundred miles an hour, drawn by Satan’s hound
The atomic plough quakes the earth
One thousand decibels and massive girth

An iron beast forged from lightning
Half engine half catapult
Fueled by a devouring inferno
A noxious synthesis of amphetamine and gasoline
Feeds the ever thirsty cylinders on the eternal highway
A journey into atomic ruination
A thousand years of nuclear fallout plagues the land
A mechanised saviour comes forth
To rid the earth of poison
Enslaved by a lust for crude oil
The atomic plough shatters the soil with 12 cylinders
Of unadulterated muscle

Cracking lightning through the sky
The Fossil fuels make me high
The Ancient forests feed the fire
Fuel injected blood shot eyes

The atomic plough, digs up the ground
Four hundred miles an hour, drawn by Satan’s hound
The atomic plough, quakes the earth
One thousand decibels and massive girth

For some reason, what I previewed and the real songs was somewhat different - maybe because of the cover art? But I definitely don't regret something more spacial than expected. The recent Ocean drifting in space. frankwurst
