Terzo lavoro per il trio veterano della scena psychobilliy californiana. Un album elaborato e composto in gran parte da malinconia, aggressività, oscurità e temi amorosi a volte felici, romantici e altre tragici e drammatici.
Si sentono forti influenze verso il "dark" anni 80, al country, al punk e ovviamente al rock n' roll! Quindi un album che fa suoi vari generi e che cattura l'orecchio di diverse persone.
Consigliato vivamente a tutti e non solo ai fan dello psychobilly e della modesta band.
NOTA: In questo album non ha suonato il batterista ufficiale Fred Hell che non ha potuto suonare sull'album perchè nel 2003 gli hanno sparato, in quattro differenti punti del corpo, è stato quindi sostituito momentaneamente dal tecnico, Mike Fasano.

05 Ghostfire (04:02)
Unseen to the eyes but ablaze in your heart
It scorches from inside just as it haunts
It is unknown to young lovers intoxicated by spring
But when they feel its icy flames they'll know everything
It lives where love has died, this ghostfire
Where poison flowers bloom
It sears from beyond sighs
In the graveyard of promises
It burns right throught the night
Only a lover lost burns in ghostfire (Ghostfire)
Lovers sprurned took their revenge, lie in cells tonight
Once consumed they turn to ash in its cold blue light
Those who can't take the pain
They extinguish the spark of life
For others it comforts, a companion in the night
It lives where love has died, this ghostfire
Where poison flowers bloom
It sears from beyond sighs
In the graveyard of promises
It burns right throught the night
Only a lover lost burns in ghostfire
Only a lover lost burns in ghostfire
Only a lover lost burns in ghostfire (Ghostfire)
07 Atomic (03:16)
At the end of the world, I suddenly feel alive
There's nothing in the world like a Southern California night
I always hoped that someday, everything would be alright...
And now someday has arrived tonight
We're speeding through the city tonight
We'll hit this town, just like a bomb
For this one moment, the world is ours
And still we're waiting for the atomic fire
Black palm trees sway, they whisper to the purple sky
Close your eyes and feel the ghosts of Hollywood gone by
Still the dreamers come, still the dreams are left to die
Behind the lights a necropolis lies
11 Calling (04:09)
I hear them calling to me from another world
Look at the place you live they say
Oh won't you join us in a world that's without pain?
Leave behind your misery
I cannot listen withought longing
To let go of my burdens sounds so sweet
Reasons to hold on there are many -
This I must remember when the sirens call to me
I hear them calling from beyond
From beyond, oh no no...
Sometimes I feel I can't go on
I hear them calling from beyond
From beyond, oh no no...
Must find the strength to carry on
I need you with me
When I awake their call still resonates
In sadness from unremembered dreams
And in the prison of this longing
I'm waiting for parole, waiting to be free
I know that my time here has not yet come
There's still so much that's left to do and say
I know that my work here is not done
But I'll go to them someday
12 Swift Silent Deadly (02:46)
We're the masters of the night
Both death and glory on our side
Mess with the fucking best
And get fucked up like all the rest
You won't hear us when we're coming...
We're back again
We're on the scene
And when we strike it's swift, silent deadly
When we strike it's swift, silent - deadly!
We seek, strike, destroy
Like tigers born to kill
For those who just can't understand
We'll let you know the fucking deal
You won't hear us when we're coming...
