Passport 02:59

Panorama 03:16
Lyrics: Hit by strains of loveliness Waves of delight I reach for the glory, the glory far far away The awakening is sinister I wish to fall into your arms But you won't have me Post card-view terror Post card-view Rip it apart Tear it down All love is gone and vanished I miss what you did show You showed me and us Now I walk the unlived world Post card-view terror Post card-view Rip it apart Tear it down

Sewer Café 04:22
Lyrics: Sewer café, this is where we meet Pin down ideas in the underground Reach out for thoughts via the water sound Wash the board in the gutter 2 for 1, today's lunch offer Bring a friend and share a dish Wolfpack menu Ideas between the lines Sewer café, this is where we meet Emergency exit leads further down 2 for 1, today's lunch offer Bring a friend and share a dish Wolfpack menu Ideas between the lines

Q & A 05:05
Lyrics: Associations among strangers The real moments of Q&A We´re trembling side by side What can we trigger side by side? Live rounds of Q&A We found out Got carried away The clubs & bars hit your scope There´s an ambush on the street Bystanders intervene Associations among aliens Hard treatment, firm grip arms Military colors, soldiers eyes Attack the backbone and choke the will Ask a question, ask it now Live rounds of Q&A We found out Got carried away
5.
Lyrics: Illegal cinema Beneath the city grid The city is as deep As it grows high The roots are corridors For those beneath their rights The gate is well concealed Tunnels under your feet The speed of images The images of more Illegal cinema Go there for a glimpse The pictures offers hope Everything´s restrained Project on cave walls Overwrite ancient signs Letters of movement Cinematic thrust Overflow

The Map 07:20
Lyrics: Download Turning things around City eyes from underneath Just download the map Bring it to our islands Drones work both ways But beware of the vicious trap Enforcing the policing of police When cities turn into tight strap Legal twist of force We know where you are Right there on my screen Some streets are free that corner is blind
7.
Bodies 07:31
Lyrics: Easy to consume More than enough Flesh to move around Fast track methods Masses for review Chew on your neighbors' bone Meat packs in the queue Wait by the cone Masses for review Bones and other waste Grind into mince Chopping for us all For the future Masses for review Pile up all the meat Load into the fire Prepare a side dish Masses for review

Lyrics: What would be the melody of the islands? Every city needs one! What would be the melody we fight for and makes us disagree? Junkies recall lost melodies Junkies they recall Tap it on the soul The picture they can draw What would be the melody we fight for and makes us disagree?

about

Pre-order VAK's mesmerizing new album, The Islands!

VAK states:

This is progressive sludge. Two flavors so perfect to combine but hard to elaborate on.

Picture a potpourri of voluptuous fruits covered in dark and dense chocolate. Join us on this sensory journey into a different and uncompromising world, painted in unheard chords.

about

VAK Stockholm, Sweden

The Sound of VAK is hard to grasp. Jesper Skarin (front man-vocals, bass) "We would be happy to tell people how we sound, but it`s tough. When five guys like us with different inspirations collaborate in our democratic fashion, the outcome is unpredictable and not reducible to single styles" ... more
