about

A journey through the underworld by the hand of a snakelike guide who has the power to change lives.
The chorus tells us that living a protected life is a safe bet but pretty mind numbing and living a dangerous life is well, dangerous.
The guide gives birth to the reaper when things get stormy. Say what?
When the bow played double bass (played by the great Thomas Van Voorst) kicks in at the end you know there's no turning back.

lyrics

The queen of mud made us float
She troubles the water as we go
As we go
As we go
As we go

White is dressed the host
She sheds her skin as we go
As we go
As we go
As we go

Out in the calm
Won’t do you no harm
Won’t do you no good

It’s the painless lies that hold
She makes them up as we go
As we go
As we go
As we go

Out in the calm
Won’t do you no harm
Won’t do you no good

Out in the storm
The reaper is born
Spawn from her roots

The Hex of Penns Woods
by Almost Honest

supported by 72 fans who also own “Reaper”

Almost Honest have continued to push the envelope within the modern heavy underground scene. To David's point, while they reside within the Stoner/Doom landscape, they possess a wildly catchy, diverse and intriguing sense of songwriting, meticulously merging elements of grunge, punk, metal and alternative rock. Honestly, this could be their best work yet. Bucky
