1. Gotta Get Away
This machine's a pretty but a nasty one
't feels that it strength lies in your weakness
When you come closer it, tears your body apart
When you come to close it tears your limb from limb
You gotta save yourself you gotta get away
You gotta save yourself now
It's a personal hell you be locked in
You won't get out before you're burned by that fire
It is just like being caught in a spiders web
It won't let loose never let's you go
You gotta save yourself you gotta get away
You gotta save yourself now.

2. With witches Help
I can win with witches' help
When this woman's around me all the time. How can I work?
When there's always something in my way
How can I get it done?
I'LL have a grip on fate I won't loose, but win
I'LL have a grip on fate I know I'II win
I can win with witches' help
It is the art to find the switch
Somewhere inside of her
I got to have a tool to get inside
I'LL have a grip on fate, I won't loose but win
I'LL have this grip on fate, I win
I can win with witches help
I gotta find these witches, I know they can help me
With evil spell and ancient craft
Wipe this creature out of my life
I'll win.

You gotta see me rolling I'm metal machine
I'm moving out
I'm rolling east/west
You gotta see me going down to hell
And if I'm getting back, you never can tell
Don't mind if they blow my head off, by these walls
Don't mind if they blow my brains out, in that war
I never used my head, so let it roll
I never used my brains, so I don't need them no more

You gotta see me goin' I'm moving down to hell
And if I'm getting back,

4. Metal Bats
I can here you knocking on the refrigerator door
Sometimes I can hear you shouting You sure wonna get out
While outside the wind is howling you're still inside the frig
It is so obvious what you want, but I can let you out
Till winter time is coming cut you to pieces and I'll feed you to the bats
In wintertime I'LL let you out and metal bats won't tell
Just what it's all about
You talked about our having a relation, I guess we never had
At least it did'nt work out my way
But I don't talk about that, It was always you that did the talking
You never listened to my words
But now you're inside there, freezing and I won't let you out
Till, Till, Till, Till winter time is coming, cut you in pieces and I'LL feed you to the bats
In winter time I'LL let you out
And metal bats won't tell just what it's all about
You talked about us having a relation, I know we never had
It just did't work out my way and I won't talk about that
It was you who did the talking, never listened to my words
Now I'LL keep you inside
There freezing
I'LL never let you out
Till

5. The Curse
The gates of hell, Swing wide
As metal mutants, summon the powers of the
Darkness
Darkness
Darkness
Someone is living is despair
He's under the influence of a bad influence
His future has vanished into the air, never to return
Damned curse will make you feel worse, it means a life without a hope
Damned curse makes you feel worse without a single hope
When you are living under a spell of a bad influence
Damned influence
You know your destination is hell
From witch there'll be no return
Of course we're all living under a spell
Life is a bad influence, a damned influence
And will someday end in hell
Never to return to

6. Alienation
Yes 't was a time I know
No 't is a thing that I won't forget
Yes 't was so fine and won't come back again
But I will see you
Won't I, won't I ??
Well here I'm standing with my face looking at your face
How come you know me any more?
Here I stand with my hands outstretched to you
How come you don't react like any other would do?
What is happening to this world
And where will this lead to?
Well here I stand with my heart in my hand
How come you don't recognize me no more?
Here I lay my whole life at your feet
How come your face don't show no expression at all?
What is happening to this world
And where will this lead to??

After all these years it showed everyone that Vortex is more popular than ever. 2019 Vortex celebrate it's 40th Anniversary with a lot of old and new material. And finally at last we will share all our releases here on Bandcamp. Beware, The Bats are still Flying... ... more

Yet another album I’m addicted to. This is definitely one of my favorite NWOTHM releases. It reminds me of being a teenager and discovering Iron Maiden. Love the sci-fi themes.

So I can't leave a long enough review to say everything I want. But I will say this, I love this EP. It's a great little follow up to times, and has just enough of a dynamic shift in sound to prove that Smoulder isn't a one trick pony with their first album's formula. This one really plays up the 70s prog aspects (DUST and Manilla Road influences definitely shine through even harder here). It's still Smoulder, don't get me wrong. Just a different side in some ways, all of which are good.
