    Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    Almost two years after first contorting and rocking the San Diego punk scene, August 2019 delivered "Ghastly Reminders", the Writhers debut recording. "Ghastly Reminders" is a reflection on self-absorption, fear, seduction, and other terrors, all rolled up in one exciting, low-brow, rock and roll package. A frightening combination of punk, horror, rockabilly, and goth known as "horrorpunkabillydeathrocknroll" that's aimed to make you convulse. The EP is comprised of the first 4 songs ever performed by the Writhers plus an eerie intro that sets the grim yet entertaining mood.

I don’t know about you But my amygdala’s working All I’m waiting for now Is some stimuli Something goes wrong The chemosignal’s sent out Won’t be too long The chemosignal’s sent out Gee this situation Has my alarm bells ringing Learning by avoidance But it’s too late now to run Warning signals, muscle twitches Increased heart-rate, all of which is Reenforcing my responses I can’t take it! Utter terror coursing through me The oppressor, nerves unruly Begins forming fear, I’m conscious Because I can feel it as it’s Running down my spine Now I know for certain That my flesh will be hurtin' All I’m thinking of now Is what have I done? Something goes wrong The chemosignal’s sent out Won’t be too long The chemosignal’s sent out A flash of life before me Away I have been wasting Caught up in my labors Just to be destroyed by them Warning signals, muscle twitches Increased heart-rate, all of which is Reenforcing my responses I can’t take it Utter terror coursing through me The oppressor, nerves unruly Begins forming fear, I’m conscious Because I can feel it as it’s Running down my spine The manifestation of my indifference A creature that should not be Shifting towards my position Wants to take my life from me Flight, fight Freeze, fright Faint, what Do I do? Flight, fight Freeze, fright Faint, what Do I do? An abomination of my creation My body I deify Exploding with fear, oh beast Spare me I don’t want to die! Crash, smash Gore, gash Warm blood Spilling out! Crash, smash Gore, gash Warm blood Spilling, I can feel it as it’s Running down my spine!

"Go!" "Go!" "Kill!" "Kill it!" Demon-like shrieks Heads will roll tonight Damned if you do So keep your mouth shut or you’ll be next Why can’t they accept me Accept me! Why can’t they abide and accept me For what I am? Behold the raging mob With pitchfork, torch, and scythe They see I’m not like them Now I’m running for my life Well I tried to be, I tried to be But I couldn’t fake it At my heals, the end is near I hear them shout: “Kill the monster!" "Go!" "Kill!" "Kill it!" Rip, stab, and slash Fresh blood coats the earth If I keep still Perhaps I’ll live to die another day Why can’t I be different Think different? Why is mankind controlled by Fear driven actions? Behold the raging mob With pitchfork, torch, and scythe They see I’m not like them Now I’m running for my life Well I tried to be, I tried to be But I couldn’t fake it At my heals, the end is near I hear them shout: “Kill the monster!" "Go!" "Kill!" "Kill it!" “Quick before the thing advances We must take zero chances If we don’t understand it Destroy it! Trembling down the path of least resistance Just as we’ve done for most of our existence We know not what we do We’re frightened just like you Ready or not, blind and dumb Here we come!” Behold the raging mob With pitchfork, torch, and scythe They see I’m not like them Now I’m running for my life Well I tried to be, I tried to be But I couldn’t fake it At my heals, the end is near I hear them shout: “Kill the monster!" "Go!" "Kill!" "Kill it!" "Kill the monster!" "Kill the monster!"

I can tell in one look That you’re the type who likes it rough Well I'm sort of into All kinds of weird stuff If you like a little pain When you're making love Well then honey I'm the one That you've been dreamin' of I like to leave marks While we're alone in the dark Oh, ghastly reminders Of our time in the dark I want to make you scream I want to hear you gasp Oh, I’ll make you believe With the marks that I leave Two little red dots (two little red dots) In the side of your neck (in the side of your neck) Oh, clawing my nails (clawing my nails) Up and down your back (up and down your back) Oh, squeezing your thighs (squeezing your thighs) 'Til they're black and blue (black and blue) Gazing deep into your eyes (deep into your eyes) As I share myself with you (myself with you) I like to leave marks (I like to leave marks) While we're alone in the dark (alone in the dark) Oh, ghastly reminders (Ghastly reminders) Of our time in the dark (our time in the dark) Oh, I want to make you scream (Aah!) I want to hear you gasp (Ooo!) Oh, I’ll make you believe With the marks that I leave You’re gonna turn You’re gonna turn It won’t be long Before you turn You’re gonna turn And then you’ll learn That I’ll be gone Two little red dots In the side of your neck Oh, clawing my nails Up and down your back Oh, squeezing your thighs 'Til they're black and blue Gazing deep into your eyes, bleh bleh As I share myself with you I like to leave marks While we're alone in the dark Oh, ghastly reminders Of our time in the dark I want to make you scream, aah! I want to hear you gasp Oh, I’ll make you believe With the marks that I leave I like to leave marks I like to leave marks While we’re alone in the dark Let me leave some marks

Drivin' through the TNT With baby in the night It was such a lovely evening I did not expect a fright He flew on down The new thing in town Scared me out of my wits And my girl out of her pants It was a bird Creature Something In Point Pleasant 1966 He only appears Before disaster, so they tell Beating wings, Glowing eyes Seen when Silver Bridge fell The only ado I saw it prior to Was on the terrible day He swept my baby away That man-sized bird Creature Something In Point Pleasant 1966 Nobody knows where he came from Extra-terrestrial or experiment? You pick Girls sure like them tall And even more with a large wingspan! Red eyes! Intrigue! Danger! If I’m honest Can I blame her? Mothman! Mothman! That girlfriend stealing Mothman! Mothman! Mothman! That good-for-nothing-girlfriend-stealing Mothman!
