about

KRAKEN KOMMANDANT. " Probably the best song title ever, this is BABAL politik turned up to 11. Gene Krupa style drums rumbling against a cascading guitar and demented, hammering church organ – this is the stuff of nightmares. Langley’s aggressively eloquent lyrics are delivered straight to your cranium with a series of hammer blows – each word viciously enunciated with demonic glee in an astonishing vocal performance. Don’t listen to this alone in the dark". Tony Stacey

lyrics

KRAKEN COMMANDANT

Technojunkies – mainlining information like pushers
Give you some for free, get you hooked,
Then you start paying
To feed the information addiction
Adds, games, apps, saps
To all the feast of plenty before you.
An open vista to a world of small intervals of pleasure,
Popping up before your gourmet eyes,
Your hydra, the octopus deep in it’s rock cavern
Pulsating outwards to pull in many fish
The craven appetite of prehistory sealing the fate of surface feeders
The ancient brain unassailable, ingesting the free wisdom of frenzied fish-heads who think their time has come
Their time of greatness
15 minutes of fame
That will stick with them on the board of universal examination results.
Exceptional and eternal
In their own minds’ eye


Flattened and dull-screened they mill around the reefs
Until they gather in a bait ball of fragmented thinking and become
The silvered supper of a Kraken Kommandant
Lurking with his mega plug-in system
“Eat yourselves better”
“Eat yourselves better”
Down to the last morsel
The last dorsal
The last dorsal fin
They believed him.

BABAL England, UK

One speaks and a thousand misunderstand
where millions are silent and a thunderous applause erupts
where chatter overwhelms humility and gossip destroys worlds
the tongues wag, the ears flap and the mind creates a wall
everything has been said but no one has understood
talking with conviction and concluding that knowledge is easy and effects a multitude of expanding smokescreens around truth ... more
