My band just finished recording our, sadly final, album. I sneaked in a song about the fate of the Hellbender, a good share of my lyrics have a conservation slent to them, and i always wanted to do one about caudate, and the Hellbender is the most metal sunding one .
We're at the fringe of what most people would call music, so I realise this is not for everyone, but I though it might interest some.
Hellmouth | DEAD IN THE WOODS
here are the lyrics and explanations:
Hellmouth
Aquatic relic lurking in the mountain stream
Cryptobranchid monster; Hellmouth.
Nocturnal hunter, lonely stalker
Antediluvian creature, born of mud and fire
A Dark Shadow, the sign of the son of man
Obscuring the morrow:
Miasma; Pollution; Impurities
Slow Agony of the timeless animal
Necrotic sores on deformed limbs
Slow Agony of the timeless animal
Extinction, death of the salamander
Cryptobranchus alleganiensis, the Hellbender Salamander is a rare species of aquatic giant salamander from eastern North America. Closely related to the Chinese and Japanese Giant Salamanders, those animals are living prehistoric relics dependant on a pristine environment. Like most amphibians, they truly are the canaries in the gobal mine and start dying the moment their environment is compromised, and over the last decade scientists have struggled to find any number of larvae, hinting that existing populations are not reproducing. Of similar concern are the open sores and limb deformities found in the adults. Ignored by most, this atavistic relic of our planet's past is on the verge of annihilation, one species at the verge of extinction, unnoticed, lacking the cute factor that makes headlines, but a tragedy nonetheless.
