The acolyte, the gargantua, the goblin, the hephaestan, the kineticist, and the mage. In tunnels or ruins, carrion crawlers scurry across the. when these tentacles strike, the victim is often paralyzed. A carrion crawler roams on the hunt, its tentacles probing the air for the scent of blood or decay.

To listen is to realize that DwyerвЂ™s music is as manic as the underground comic inclinations of his artwork colorful and confusing in a way thatвЂ™s more than welcome. Carrion crawlers prefer not to compete with other scavengers for carrion and will operate in areas other scavengers cant reach. Carrion crawlers resemble massive centipedes but much larger than humanoid creatures and possessed teeth and tentacles. That it does, whether one blasts the slow, speaker-bruising build of вЂњThe Dream,вЂќ the sunburnt organs and dovetailing guitars of вЂњCrack in Your EyeвЂќ or the interstellar instrumental вЂњChem-Farmer,вЂќ a perfect example of what happens when one takes a well-oiled machine-a gang of rabid road warriors, really-and adds a second, groove-locked drum set to the mix. Carrion crawlers are underground scavengers who feed on carcasses. вЂњAs IвЂ™m sure most would agree,вЂќ explains Dwyer, вЂњCastlemania was more of a vocal tirade. Originally envisioned as two EPs, it was cut live to tape in less than a week at Chris WoodhouseвЂ™s Sacramento studio in June, reflecting the battering-ram bent of the bandвЂ™s live show better than any bootleg ever could. Where Castlemania was the apotheosis of frontman John Dwyer's.

Now, Thee Oh Sees chase the home-brewed symphonies of Castlemania with the scrappy, high-wire hooks of Carrion Crawler / The Dream. Blasts a single enemy for 19 to 25 damage and lowers the melee attack power of all enemies in melee range by 75. Until this poison ends, the target is paralyzed. Dread Ripper (Carrion Bird, 39-40, Desolace) Screech 3: Pet Level 48, Cost 20 TP. Hit: 4 (1d4+2) poison damage, and the target must succeed on a DC 13 Constitution saving throw or be poisoned for 1 minute. Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 10 ft., one creature. That restlessness extends to everything from the towering, thirteen-minute title track of 2010вЂ™s Warm Slime LP to the mercurial moods of 2008вЂ™s The MasterвЂ™s Bedroom Is Worth Spending a Night In. The carrion crawler makes two attacks: one with its tentacles and one with its bite. Similar to a giant, toothed centipede in appearance, carrion crawlers were often accompanied by a foul odor of death, which warned others of their approach. (While Dwyer still records songs on his own, Thee Oh Sees is now a five-piece featuring keyboardist / singer Brigid Dawson, guitarist Petey Dammit, drummer Mike Shoun and multi-instrumentalist / singer Lars Finberg.) A carrion crawler was a burrowing aberration that scavenged the dead and occasionally preyed on living creatures. But it misses a more important point-how impossible Thee Oh Sees have been to pin down since Dwyer launched the project in the late вЂ™90s as a solo break from such sorely missed underground bands as Pink and Brown and Coachwhips. BACK IN STOCK ON MAGENTA COLORED WAX!!!В WhatвЂ™s the first thing you think of when someone mentions Thee Oh Sees? Probably their riot-sparking live show, right? Visions of a guitar-chewing, melody-maiming John Dwyer careening across your cranium, rounded out by a wild-eyed wrecking crew that drives every last hook home like itвЂ™s a nail in the coffin of what you thought it meant to make 21st-century rock вЂ™nвЂ™ roll? Yeah, that sounds about right.
