    Includes unlimited streaming via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

    Well Kids, here it is, the 3rd full length and 4th vinyl 12-inch platter from you pals Jesters of Destiny. We started working on it pretty soon after the release of "Sorrows..." in 2017. Again, we're with the fine Ektro Records (with the vinyl release on Full Contact) from Finland; we're self-releasing the digital and streaming versions. Every version (digital, CD, LP) features the same program, no surprise tracks or different edits this time. Also, we decided early in the process that the usual Jesters left turns--acoustic tracks, pop songs, instrumentals, tape loops, etc. etc. would be ditched in favor of a collection of pure hard rock/metal. Of course, it's metal as the Jesters see it, so it ain't your normal metal/hard rock affair. We dig it and we think you will too. 42-plus minutes of heavy rock for the mind and body.

HEAVY KICKIN A So you’re down on your luck And your money can’t you buy nuthin’ The kind of work you do ain’t done no more I’d say just suck it up You asked for it buttercup CHORUS We’re Heavy, Kickin A We are the one percent Take all we want, more than we need Drunk on greed and we don’t repent We’re Heavy, Kickin A All hail the one percent We don’t care about the other ninety-nine Crying all the time cuz their money’s all spent VERSE 2 Sieg Heil to the chief Snap your heels and fall in line You chose your lot now carry it on your shoulder Some say I’m a thief Lying all the time Cuz the world ain’t heating up it’s getting colder Pull your jacket up round your throat Put on that overcoat Get yourself to work and do your time CHORUS 2 Yeah, were…. Hey, give us a break We’ve had all we can take If everything is fake From what we perceive there’s nothing to believe You people are all the same No matter what you still complain The problems you have are only in your mind Wearing that big frown But when it all trickles down Your living large on the scraps I leave behind Can’t you accept your lot? Think of all the junk you got Stand in line I’m happy to sell you more and more CHOR 3 .

Luxifur 03:32
LUXIFUR Luxifur, he don’t like rain Sydney’s Siamese can’t explain Heavy riffs and shattered glass He would rather take a pass Luxifur just weighs four pounds But he really gets around Luxifur he ain’t too tall But he fights for the good of all But he fights for the good of all Luxifur he likes to play Sometimes he sleeps all day The simple life it is quite good He knows that it’s understood Luxifur is grey and black Never know when he’ll attack Went to see him just today Seems that he had hid away Seems that he had hid away Luxifer is truly free Sometimes he sleeps with me He’s my friend thru and thru And he’ll be your friend too. Luxifur just weighs four pounds But he really gets around Luxifur he ain’t too tall But he fights for the good of all But he fights for the good of all But he fights for the good of all

Anna Bella 05:30
ANNA BELLA Babe what can I do for you, she said Babe what can I do Tell me something beyond the truth, I said That’s what you can do Then take a step beyond the pail, Is what she said to me Allow me to lift the veil So you may plainly see Anna Bella – what they call her Fortune Teller – that’s what they say 2x Laid her cards down on the floor And told me what they said She would be my one true love Until we both were dead Let the fools call her what they will Don’t care what they say Some day we will rise above And that will be our day Anna Bella – She Ain’t Evil Fortune Teller – She’s my girl 2x

Caregivers and Caretakers The sun has set for good it seems So now there’s endless night But just outside nostalgic walls It’s lovely, warm and bright You don’t know and wouldn’t care Your clock is ‘bout run down I wind it up again old friend For another go around It’s give and take The hour’s getting late It’s give and take For its own sake Looking in on you again To see just how you feel Minutes, hours, days roll by It all seems so unreal The hearse it waits just down the street Mortician rubs his hands A quick run back to the morgue Is all that he has planned

NEW BLACK PANTS I went all the way downtown and bought me some new black pants Then I sat on a park bench and pondered existence I saw my baby 'round the corner, she was talkin’ with another man I saw my baby in a dream and she was walkin’ with another man So I tossed her with some oil and salt and threw her in a frying pan If the river was vodka and I was a one-eyed trout I might feel alright but I’d still be swimming in doubt

ATROCITY QUEEN Slither on, you crawl just like a black snake And I can’t seem to suck the venom out Your dark eyes, they jolt me like an earthquake Devastation’s all you care about Leather and black lace, so strong You make my love feel so wrong Anything good is soon gone My atrocity queen Heartless girl, seems you destroy all you touch Dread and angst is all you leave behind As you shrug, for you don’t care, no not much Dead, your heart is dead to all mankind Your soul is gone, forever You’re not concerned, no never All you can say’s ‘whatever.’ My Atrocity Queen But I’m so hypnotized As I gaze into those dark eyes Seems the pain you dish out I can’t live without The words that drip from your red lips Seem to indicate a new apocalypse Write my epitaph and have a laugh Let me join you in your blood bath But it’s all just a game With only myself to blame I feel so ashamed But the shrew I can’t tame The pain you spit from your black lips Seems to indicate a new apocalypse Bitch on the scene, the pinnacle of mean Have to give credit to Atrocity Queen
