THE GRAND STADIUM

by Scream Of The Butterfly

supported by

Andreas Muhr Scream Of The Butterfly have always been a worthy representative of the amazing music scene in Berlin. Somewhere between the psychedelic stoner rock of Kadavar and the punk'n'roll of Beatsteaks, they combine the best ingredients from the 70s and 90s to form their very own mixture of dirty and honest hard rock.

A seal, a throne, a crossfire honeymoon I drag you to the dais of sunflower yells And spill some wine, I used to call you mine Abused by all my bore-out wardens All letters on the rise I throw 'em underground I call upon my sinking merry-go-round And then I get you high And drain you in my arms We lose control Around it goes You know I hate to hear them boots clicking on the pavement Sweet Magnolia sheen A life to redeem Come back to the middle of the town Here we go another round, yeah we take it on All letters on the rise I throw 'em underground I call upon my sinking merry-go-round And then I get you high And drain you in my arms We lose control And then I get you high And drain you in my arms We lose control, yeah
3.	Ain't No Living 03:15	lyrics	buy track
I'm a man of his words Just take it from me They say I'm under water But to me it feels like the open sea They're raising up their brows I'm rolling up my sleeves I'm just caught between the worlds And I follow my own line Knock knock, is it you there at that door? I've been waiting for you Take a step and we will never have to search no more Tick tock, our time is running out Ain't no living without you You may look down on me I won't look down on you Shake, shake the shaker Cause no one else will ever do Knock knock, is it you there at that door? I've been waiting for you Take a step and we will never have to search no more Tick tock, our time is running out Ain't no living without you Knock knock, is it you there at that door? I've been waiting for you Take a step and we will never have to search no more Tick tock, our time is running out Ain't no living without you Knock knock, is it you there at that door? Ain't no living without you Ain't no living without you Ain't no living
4.	Hallway Of A Thousand Eyes 02:53	lyrics	buy track
In your world of blue and grey You sing along and want to find the home inside of you Coming clean, you're out of tune You're sinking down into a sacred grove That waits for you Unease is closing in It paints a living on the line Can I meet you in the hallway of a thousand eyes? A hundred thousand lies Open hands A beggar's need Too unselaed They take you far away from here Can I meet you in the hallway of a thousand eyes? I know, unease is closing in It paints a living on the line Can I meet you in the hallway of a thousand eyes?
5.	Dead-End Land 03:30	lyrics	buy track
A silver moon is hanging low I see the endless road The rising heat will guide my way into a wall of stone Here's my superstition and here's my thin red line I lost my intuition when I fell down from the roof of a the misery train Back on my knees I feel the need in my electric mind Another raging rover is coming pretending to be by my side Here's my superstition and here's my thin red line I ride into the new horizon, the dead-end land It's my time The new horizon, the dead-end land It's my time Here's my superstition and here's my thin red line I ride into the new horizon The dead-end land It's my time The new horizon, the dead-end land It's my time, it’s my time, it’s my time
6.	Now, Then And Nowhere 03:47	lyrics	buy track
Caught between then and nowhere You are my bittersweet remedy A true companion of the past Paving a way through the white and the blue Silhouettes not meant to last I need you to go I don't want you to leave Go – I don't want you to leave Things look rather bleak as I turn my head and take a breath Once again I gaze up at the sky Yet I seek to defy those heavy same old melodies The ones I sang just to get by I need you to go I don't want you to leave Go – I don't want you to leave I need you to go But I don't want you to leave And if I choose to let go Who is gonna catch me when I fall? Can someone please put their hand out to me? No looking back No hiding behind the past no more No more, all the more Got nowhere to go I am going nowhere without Got nowhere to go without you
7.	Every Mile She's Gone 05:40	lyrics	buy track
I can't make you read between the lines You have said these words far too many times You're so cruel My stern and high-class lady – how you're rollin' over me Bound to be leading the lane You're pretty, all the same But I carry on, yeah! Cannot find myself in you no more All our love has gone away Cannot find myself in you no more In every mile she's gone I'm raging like the sun I can't make you read between the lines And in your world bleak and blind Your place has lost its shine Let me carry on, yeah! Cannot find myself in you no more All our love has gone away Cannot find myself in you no more In every mile she's gone I'm raging like the sun Cannot find myself in you no more All our love has gone away Cannot find myself in you no more In every mile she's gone She shines on like the burning sun Cannot find myself in you no more
8.	Sweet Adeleine 03:32	lyrics	buy track
Sweet Adeleine, she's in a game No place to go Stuck in her room, black candle gloom No face to show That long tongue liar spits its fire into your head Sweet Adeleine, she's in a game We're in a zoo And she keeps swaying, hallucinating I want a black life to lead me Sweet Adeleine, she's in a game She's on her way to meet her pain And when she smiles a million yells are on her side That long tongue liar spits its fire into your head Did you know your garden grows too wild? And she keeps swaying, hallucinating I want a black life, too Lead me!
9.	Say Your Name To Me 02:08	lyrics	buy track
I've seen you walking over My hands are full of clover I want to take you over I'm controlled by you Oh dear, my heart is bleeding out again Say your name to me Say your name to me I've seen a new attraction I'm in a new science fiction I keep my supervision Oh I am lost in you Oh dear, my heart is bleeding out again Say your name to me Say your name to me God gave a new religion God made me lose restrictions Here I come, here I come I'm in love I'm in love Oh dear, my heart is bleeding out again Say your name to me Say your name to me
10.	That Heavy Burden 04:47	lyrics	buy track
Got that heavy burden God knows where I've been And I've been over the ocean And you know it's a sin Yeah I know what I'm thinking is how I wanna be Got that heavy burden And you know I need sympathy Will you ever get down here and do the things you like Come and take it easy and do the things you like And find yourself a freeway that takes you on and on So come and take it easy We won't let you go Got that heavy burden God knows what I've done And I fell into the river, now see what I've become, yeah Where will I find my freedom That's screaming inside of me Got that heavy burden And you know I need company Will you ever get down here and do the things you like So come and take it easy and do the things you like And find yourself a freeway that takes you on and on So come and take it easy We won't – We won't let you go Don't wanna wake up with a rival no more Don't wanna wake up with a rival no more Don't wanna wake up with a rival no more I wanna wake up with you

about

Scream Of The Butterfly's third album invites the listener to a journey through THE GRAND STADIUM – a dark and oblivious place in which the lines between fantasy and reality have long become blurred.
Drawn in by "The Keen-Eyed Man", fierce hooks and revelling melodies create an uplifting feeling of reckless adventure always blending into a world of solitude and nostalgia.

THE GRAND STADIUM boasts SOTB's sound defining trademarks which include fierily dashing guitar work, a roaring hammond organ as well as versatile upfront rock vocals. Wild riffs and memorable choruses are constantly moving back and forth between atmospheric vintage rock and grunge-like heaviness.

However, the 10-track record also marks SOTB's leap towards a less predictable and more unconventional musical approach that introduces unexpected compositional turns and the usage of a wider array of instruments.

THE GRAND STADIUM is as loud and wild as it is intimate and calm – it is the band's soulful monument to rock 'n' roll music.

QUOTES from the music industry:

"The four Berlin retro eclecticts seem to have fun mixing old sounds. Rock music history laid out there right in front of you, feel free to serve yourself without holding back." (Rockhard Magazine, SEP-2022)

"In the late '60s/early '70s SCREAM OF THE BUTTERFLY would have probably been at the top of the charts or on the cover of the Bravo magazine. (OX Fanzine, SEP-2022)

"Scream of the Butterfly know how to write catchy choruses. Fans of Kadavar, Hällas and the like may well check out THE GRAND STADIUM." (Legacy Magazine, SEP-2022)

“The songwriting is as catchy as it is melodic and the retro touch is anything but old-fashioned, which is why the German capital city rockers know how to recommend their latest studio output to all lovers of this type of rock.” (Terrorverlag, SEP-2022).

“A must for fans of seventies rock!” (Time for Metal, SEP-2022).

Very dark and melancholic and also a progressive album. Beat and atmosphere remind me strongly of TOOL. Stephan

This is colossal. I’ve been enjoying these guys for years but this album is next level. They seemed to have found their stride & it’s a biggin’. I feel that they’re heading into the Groove/Rock Genre of Clutch but still carry that epic, larger-than-life sound you’d expect from Zeppelin or later era Soundgarden. Their sound is tighter than a fish’s ass (and that’s water tight) & whatever these guys are doing; I’m loving it. And…the vocals are so, so, so good! I’m excited for their next outing. Harry Harrison

Regenerator

The flac version of this sounds great in my truck... not a crunch, clip or boom to be heard. That, in itself, gets this major points. This is a lovely combination of early Floyd, U2 and a few San Francisco bands from the '60s with a heavy dose of Helmet tossed in. It's definitely best of breed when it comes to modern psych stuff. Even without a Hammond B3, it gets an easy A+... rick-taylor

A neat conceptual album; as a hardcore roleplayer, I appreciate the module and can't really separate module from album; definitely one of the albums that you want to listen to in its entirety, not just dip into. endzeitgeist
