JD The best one from Craneium yet! There's more groove here than before, there's even a decidedly spacey feel at times, a whole host of different vibes coming together in a solid whole. Favorite track: The Soothsayer.

𝔩𝔬𝔲𝔡-𝔮𝔲𝔦𝔢𝔱-𝔩𝔬𝔲𝔡 𝓕lanked by fuzz and engulfed in the most gratifying of grooves, the demon core of Craneium's brand of heavy rock transcends its constituent parts like few others, stress-testing speakers and conducting VU meter needles like a maniacal maestro. Favorite track: The Goat (Is In Command).

Manifest 05:14
Without intention to harm Please speak no word or spell You know I tried to warn But wished you straight to hell I know the truth of my ways Walk outside the narrow line Who knows and numbers the days Forever bound to be mine Seems everything I had was gone (Wished you straight to hell) Seems everyone I loved was moving on (Forever bound to be mine) I am stuck here on my own Love flows through Weigh on a scale the things that you do Inflicting harm but it comes back at you The moon disappears but it comes back anew Life goes full circle and love flows through Seems everything I had was gone (Wished you straight to hell) Seems everyone I loved was moving on (Forever bound to be mine) I am stuck here on my own Love flows through

Strain on my shoulder A quire in my ear Gracious whispers Wagering with me Into the black scape How eerie the moon A towering semblence All senses gloom Send me away Send me to hell and back again Brute, cursed, evil Fiend or friend I'm your demon Firm but gently We shake and seal Withered fingers Guiding me Send me...
3.
Take me with you, I want to see All the places, Where this life can lead me Like an oasis, I found my mirage I see a new day, Flicker before my eyes Look at the world now, Beneath where it lies Beyond the pale, At the doors of the sacred land And for a moment, I feel what it's like I see a new dawn linger, The old way dies
4.
Give me your hand I will tell your tale Give me your hand I´m the Soothsayer Tell me your lies I´ll see through them Tell me your lies And reclaim yourself When I look into that that ball The seer knows it all Scrying out for more The lining's crystal clear Purpur for despair There are no fortunes here Open your soul A mirrors glaze Open your soul I´m the Soothsayer Show me your heart Burning fierce Show me your heart And reclaim yourself When I look into that that ball The seer knows it all Scrying out for more The lining's crystal clear Purpur for despair There are no fortunes here

Redemption 06:44
I´m feeling so cold, Beneath the sky I fall and crawl for shelter I´m feeling so alone, Beneath the starry night I lie and wonder No revelations, We´ve seen it all before and it´s unbearable Up on the high horse, Soon you´ll see it's pale and bleak It's greed you meet Give me a reason, What I ought to stay for your redemption Give me a reason, Why I ought to stay I find my own pathway And now he's present, Assembled in the Light Rewards us knowledge, Though there is darkness Thou shalt be as morning, Rise in our hearts Give me a reason, What I ought to stay for your redemption Give me a reason, Why I ought to stay I find my own pathway
6.
Seeking the path that ascends and fulfills Undo the cage that obstructs my true will Leaving false issues and morals behind Going on forth for all of mankind That which tempts you in the night Fate is in your hand Let the Goat take its command Your fate is in your hand Let the Goat take its command I am a beast but I am myself No need to worry about nothing else Leaving false issues and morals behind Going on forth for all of mankind That which tempts you in the night Fate is in your hands Let the Goat take its command Your fate is in your hands Let the Goat stay in command It seems to me, That all my life I keep trying to search for things that i can´t find
7.
Man's Ruin 06:42
By a midnight smoke break highway, After playing our songs I looked up at the cold, cold universe Knowing well that our lives wouldn´t be long Into mans ruin, Trying to chase that dream Always losing, Going places I´ve never been before Meeting nomads from all around You set me free, Can´t turn my back on the feeling Reality doesn´t seem real to me Into mans ruin, Trying to chase that dream Always losing, Going places i´ve never been before

about

Our second album "The Narrow Line" is out on all digital platforms and the physical album is avaliable on CD and Black Vinyl.

Another stoner rock band is a dime a dozen nowadays with a new one seemingly coming out of nowhere even ten minutes, but it’s because of acts like Craneium that I simply can’t help but come back for more! “The Narrow Line” is an absolutely splendid trip through the haze that Craneium creates with each riff and each ounce of psychedelia that’s simply dripping out of every track from this highly exceptional record that gets full commend from me. -HeadBanger Reviews

What CRANEIUM present here is not so much an album but an adventure, escapism for the listener, there is enough talent and invention throughout the recording to keep you hooked, however, their greatest achievement is in how they seemed to throw off the shackles of staying within the perimeter of conventional stoner, desert rock and still appeal to that genre, an exciting band on the rise without doubt and one to watch after this album lands on the planet. -Metal Temple

about

Craneium Turku, Finland

The Sign Records

Finnish heavy psych band Craneium has created their own style of fuzzed out music. With a dynamic take on what some describe as stoner rock, the band breathes 70’s heavy rock as well as 90’s desert psychedelia.

The release of Craneium's third album “Unknown Heights” (2021) was the start of the band's partnership with Swedish label The Sign Records.
