Progressive rock from Mars, filtered through Atlantis, India and ancient Egypt and sounding kinda like a fistfight between Jimi Hendrix and John McLaughlin at t
Looking for music from the brand new album "Children Of A Foreign Faith"? The entire album is available here: http://www.soundclick.com/childrenofaforeignfaithanubisspire Go there NOW! Kathy Stewart Random Bullet Productions Imagine... Imagine falling asleep in a golden age. Not an age of majestic pyramids and incredible empires but rather an age where individuality and self expression was king. An age when MUSIC had the power to transform and transfix. When veritable demi-gods and Lizard-kings strode the world stage and forever changed the planet with nothing more than poetry, a smouldering Stratocaster or two and the sweet dream of a limitless future. Now imagine waking to find in it's place a world hopelessly diminished and shriveled. A world where the powers that be have fostered the negative, self absorbed and impotent notion that NOTHING matters and nothing lasts beyond your momentary attention span. A world of vapid attitude and hollow posturing, where the sheep think they're the leaders and the leaders take that carefully crafted illusion all the way to the bank. Where fashion dictates the ridiculing and complete disregard of the past. A world with collective selective amnesia, where the mere hint of that former glory brings terror to the puppetmasters and peer disrespect and condemnation. Now... imagine having a choice... to join the flock and cash in, playing the role of the piper even though you know the path leads only to the slaughterhouse door, OR... awaken, pick up where you left off and hope that there are still a few who can hear and understand. A few who have not been permanently deafened to the call of their own hearts and souls... Take them lightly at your own peril--- ANUBIS SPIRE is awake. Taken from BOOK 9-The church of the closed loop

Story behind the song
Be Numb was written as a collaboration with the above mentioned members of Anubis Spire, depicting feelings of isolation and bewilderment in a society where individuals no longer communicate verbally, but rather through means of current technology focusing on trends of fragmented grammar and emoticons many people tend to use to express their feelings. The track was written in May 2016, mixed and mastered by Marlon Kempmann and released 11 June 2016.
Lyrics
BE NUMB And you thought this would be easy? No such luck, my friend No such luck at all How does that make you feel? Smiling. Everywhere they smile. Your species now lives in a world of calculated interaction, insulated by a small number of associates with a grammar limited by simple cartoons to express their feelings, snapshots of themselves and fragmented sentences. Rather than communicate outside of their pack, they study their communication devices in crowds. This, at the moment, is Life. Now how does that make you feel? Hmm? You thought it would be easy. It's not a conspiracy Consequently, contact is limited. Appreciation of art/music/spiritual matters is highly suspect. Many think the species hypercritical and culturally introverted manner is due to the reliance on technology, and any attempts to introduce appreciation for creative endeavors often fails. And fails badly. So once again I must ask: How does this make you feel? How does this make you feel? It is not a conspiracy. We are doing it to ourselves. No it is not easy. People smiling. Everywhere they smile. And you thought this would be easy? Rest assured, this is not a conspiracy. It's not easy.
