Well, as for the part about meeting him, the story is actually kind of funny. I applied for a job selling vacuum cleaners, and as fate would have it, so did a man by the name of Dwight Marburger. A buzz had been starting around the town about a group called EisenBlakk. I had their tape, and had seen a couple of shows. After being in the class teaching us how to rip people off, I became pretty good friends with Dwight, it was only about a week later that I found out that he was the singer for EisenBlakk. That was pretty cool.
To make a long story short, neither of us went on to sell vacuum cleaners for very long, but I got the opportunity to be a roadie for Eisenblakk, that is how I met Aliester Wytch.
I had only heard one album with Aliester Wytch as the guitarist, that was Eisenblakk's debut album "fear of the unknown" which had a bitchin tune on it called "the dark halls of nevermore". It was so gothic, it kicked ass, anyway, Eisenblakk was a five piece band at the time, and the second guitarist kept his rig sounding like it was playing inside a soda can, so it did the music little justice.
But as I got to know Aliester Wytch (alan lewis) better, he turned me on to some work he had put on a demo, made with a four track and a drum machine, entirely in his living room, it kicked the shit out of Eisenblakk's studio album! At exactly that moment, it was very clear to me who the real talent in that band was.
A lack of success broke the band up shortly after, and Alan went on, eventually to join a band that is currently gigging in the portland-seattle area. The group is simply called "seven" With a bitchin graphic as the logo. That is about it for the biography, now, to the albums.
Please keep in mind that the lyrics for the songs were not printed anywhere, so I may have made some mistakes....bear with me.
Aliester Wytch's first album was called "Children of the Night", it featured the songs:
New World Order
Sell Your Soul
The Dark Side
Children of the Night
Demon Rising
1600 Heart
Electric Voodoo
"New World Order"
No need for confusion...'cause there's no one to blame
No matter what you say it stays the same
Hopeless independence...ourselves against ourselves
And in a few more years we'll be in hell.
You can't escape your nationality
New World Order
So just let go and face reality
New world order yeah
And to the republic...For which it stands
One nation under god, and the gun in my hands
you can't escape your nationality
New world Order
So just let go and face reality
New world order
When it comes to national defense, finishing second means finishing last....Supporting a strong military and pioneering strategic defense initiatives in order to avert this...the world is safe.
And to the republic, for which it stands
One nation under god, and the gun in my hand
You can't escape your nationality
New world order
So Just let go and face reality
New world order yeah
"Sell Your Soul"
He had the pages of my life inside a book
entitled "forever"....
The darkest chapter had a passage that I took
The scripture read "sell your soul"
Sell your soul
The tempting visions made me take just one more look
A lasting endeavor
The price I paid, I had my day inside the book
I heard him say sell your soul
sell your soul
and the times, so many times I've tried
Remain undecided
Words appear as writings in my dreams
Afraid that I sold my soul
He had the pages of my life inside a book
Entitled forever...
The darkest chapter had a passage that I took
The scripture read sell your soul
The Dark Side
(The power of the Church is moving souls)
(The Church is very medieval)
I have a very different face
I live in a very different place...the dark
I have a secret you should know
A very special place to go...come follow me
Sometime you have to make a choice
It's do or die
Sometimes you have to sacrifice
The things that make you cry
Just another day...In the corner of the world
living and dying
just another way...in the corner of the world
laughing and crying
I'm the wind that makes you chill
I'm the one that makes you blind...I'm the night
I have control over your sins
I'm the one who can show you, the opposite of white
Someitmes you have to make a choice
It's do or die
Someitmes you have to sacrifice
The things that make you cry
Just another day...In the corner of the world
Living and dying
Just another way...In the corner of the world
Laughing and crying
You can wipe your tears away
But time is time and when it strikes sometimes they stay
You can try to run away
but if you run too far, you'll never find your way
I have a very different face
I live in a very different place...the dark
I have a secret you should know
A very special place to go...come follow me
(the power of the church is moving souls)
Children of the Night
Like a child in the night
I am afraid he's at my door
I'm saying god forgive me
I just can't take it anymore
When I'm awake I start to dream
While everyone is sound asleep
Nobody hears my Silent scream
I find myself in far too deep
Like a teardrop from the sky
The moonlight shatters on the ground
And then the mirror starts to cry
But it never makes a sound
And when the children start to play
The mirror laughs the dark away
But when the cradle starts to fall
The moonlight cracks again and the darkness finds us all
Like a child in the night
I am afraid He's at my door
I'm saying god forgive me
I just can't take this any more
When I'm awake I start to dream
While everyone is sound asleep
Nobody hears my silent scream
I find myself in far too deep
Demon Rising
They saw him just around the corner
Inflicting corruption
They say he's coming down this way
He's after you
I heard a preacher in the distance
Was screaming his mind out
A silence fell upon the earth
And then he cried
Demon rising
Run for your life
You better say your prayers tonight
When darkness surrounds you
You better stay out of his site
It lives for you
I fear to hide inside the night
for it will attract you
and if he sees you it just might
might rip you up
demon rising
run for your life
demon rising
get out of site
no where to run
no place to go
no where to hide
no time to cry
he's by your side
you can't deny
the demon rising!
Tghey saw hinm just around the corner inflicting corruption
You better stay out of his site
