Brett (Lascaille's Shroud / Soulmass) Incredible and unique music, not quite like anything else out there. Big chunky riffs, vocals both monstrous and ethereal alike. From start to finish nothing but absolute fun. Favorite track: Dread Reactor.

Alain Fournier If you going to buy one album about a reanimated elephant fighting nazis and subsequently the whole of humanity on behalf of nature make it this one. Massive riffs, diverse vocals styles and a dynamic musical palette within a death doom envelop. In short a banger of an album. Favorite track: Construct of Chaos.

Der33 Take the bull by the tusks. Excellent combination of airy proggy bits and thudding sludge with a la carte vocal stylings in the service of a concept borne of a dank 3 a.m. haze.

Kenstrosity Aggressive, adventurous prog-death made with elephantine riffs and untamed imagination. If the concept alone isn't enough to sell you on Bull Elephant the music certainly is. Favorite track: Dread Reactor.

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

    24-bit master quality digital. Includes PDF lyric booklet. Why doesn't every band/label provide an HD download with a PDF booklet as standard? No, I don't know either. Must be because they are trying to gouge you with merch and pay a premium for the best quality sound source. F$%k those guys.
    Purchasable with gift card

      £5 GBP  or more

     

  • 8.5" (21cm x 21cm) Hardbound artwork/lyric book + CD in slipcase
    Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    26 Page artwork and lyrics book with standard CD in a slipcase. Printed on FSC-certified paper.

    This is the way forward for physical media since a 24 bit download is the superior audio experience to vinyl. 12-inch LP artwork is great but expensive to ship around the world, so a larger-than-CD format booklet seems a good compromise. It is also made from a renewable resource.

    NOTE: if the item shows SOLD OUT then get in touch to register your interest, but don't hold your breath for a re-press. Unfortunately, it is just not that economical for a band making short runs of an album and running the risk of being left with boxes of unsold merch.

    If you are a label that specialises in Cthulhu-nazi fighting metal and want to distribute it, by all means get in contact!

    NOTE 2: quoted postage is not tracked, but standard Royal Mail first class local and international. If you think you need extra insurance to send to your country, please contact the band on the contact link or at jono@supermetal.net. Shipped at buyers risk because obviously we cannot be held responsible for your postal service. Tracked/signature required services double costs and are a massive ball-ache to send.

Bull elephant, hulking form Colossus from the dreaming sleep It is time to reclaim a dying earth From the clutch of hubris Fury venting Force of nature Re exist in the space Between life and death ....Reign Vessel Re-animated Forsaken, left all in its wake Underfoot laid waste All that blocked the way Emblem of extinction Bull elephant remade Endless procession Racing to the void First-of-the-continuum Darkness undercover, hidden Avenger Restore a balance The mighty were mere grains of sand Bull elephant forged...of the slaughtered

Stitched together, bound by rage Monsters taking over The first let loose of its cage In the ebon open Where light touches none Gap between states Construct of chaos Beating heart of the unborn Construct of chaos Out from under the crooked cross Harnessed outer energy This part of her within the beast Gives the mindless purpose And one day...maybe peace Conduit with what lies beyond the black hole "The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents." ...and process the truth

Communion 06:42
Weapon in communion through dreams Brought from the dark continent The wreckage of a mighty body Turned against its destroyers Master race will come undone Commanded by communion through dreams A mother’s love holds the tether to frayed strands interweaved From total loss Merciless saviour Transform from victim to victor Over vast tracts of time Under a vaulted sky The seeds have grown malevolent agents must repent or die First glimpse into the eyes of cosmic horror Taste the void and touch the fabric of space At second contact, fall to madness It’s a relief to so completely break free As a wave it welcomes a new level of ecstasy While we may be fuelled by chaos over reality Pacts with uncontrollable entities, yet the ends justify the means Prevent factories of death from ever being In communion through reverie, taming peace within

Fear of unknowable origins Penetrating the furthest corner of the untapped mind Incarnate feeds the hunger This grotesque menagerie Slaves that serve stock the army Corrupted truth Book of the Law The wolves at my command Literal dogs of war Leaders obsessed Ranting, raving, made policy Symbols, runes, insanity Unwavering loyalty Human endeavour defined by futility Corrupted truth Powered by the Vril

Reflections 05:24
It came in a vision of the future The unchecked war on nature No matter which side would win Cannot let this path ever begin A greater good is served Even at the risk of utter ruin This confrontation is but a precursor to introduce a new player The biocosm fights back Parallel, in the same timeline Common goals As she worshipped the river’s flow Things were simpler then Thundering where the horizon meets fire In the depths Strange lost places Nameless city where they chased the ideal of Ultima Thule

Winterfist 09:40
Ice cold grip of the hand of doom Winterfist Adversary closing in Stormfront, eldritch contradictions Fought to standstill Fragments of the monolith crowned Citadel, hidden in plain sight Wraith reinforcements awaited to wipe the slate clean Neither...can...destroy the artifact they seek Blizzard overwhelms; black nemesis denied the key Ice cold grip of the hand of doom Winterfist Mountain tomb Starved out, seemingly abandoned Welcome death Mirror reflects the object of summoning Silent vigil collects energy To make contact It will return Channelling the necropower, infused Final battle, charge the blockade Violent revolution Inevitable end Haunting absolution Spirit hosts from the past (extend) Guardian evolution, moulder of the stars Sends the race of man back to the dark Immortally wounded Once dead, again dying From the animal shell Once cursed now a phoenix rising The fall; ascension; sacrifice; oblivion

about

Bull Elephant is the story of a slain African elephant that occultist Ahnenerbe SS attempted to bring back from the dead as a new form of battle asset. However, before re-animation could be completed it was intercepted by a mysterious witch-shaman, pursuing her own agenda and redirecting the undead creature’s purpose.

Think of the background concept as Raiders of the Lost Ark set to a progressive doom soundtrack where Judeo-Christian mythology is replaced by the even more sinister universe hinted at in the writings of H. P. Lovecraft.... with Nazi assault wolves.
