Bonequake 05:44
Welcome to Zero Hour Breaking balance of power; Obstacles are miles ahead; The taste of blood and fear and sweat; Testing out the strength of will Aim to please, or shoot-to-kill; Reach ultimate victory and stand tall; It's gonna be pain staking, breath taking; A personal ruin... Brainshake, Bonequake, Skullbreak; Your undoing. Perseverance is the key To bring the demon to its knees; The only fear, is fear itself; The speed you need is that of stealth; Dare to fail and don't complain; And never mind the crunching pain; The one to hit, or hit the floor; You'll be always back for more; Now or never; Earth shattering endeavor; We give no quarter; Rock-solid bricks and mortar; Heavy guitar noise has begun; All the wimps, they won't live long Like it heavy, like it raw; Pumps you up, all systems go!

Greetings, It would appear a new type of treatment against your illness has been discovered. I am not yet fully up to date about this new method, but I have been told it involves Heavy Guitar Music, that have an impact on a scale of Thunderation..., yes... The impact of this new treatment apparently penetrates the brain much more efficiently than my existing treatment. It would appear this Thunderation is a treatment that doesn't go through the brain, but your eardrums...., yes... Maybe, we could possibly give you a listen as a first test..., yes... 'Experiments bring progress', I always say! Let's find out if these new insights are indeed as good as they claim to be. I will come back later to give some observations and some first conclusions.

Ephemeral rift; First your mind’s stuck, now falls over the cliff; Head checking! A flaw in the skull; Sanity gone, isn’t that wonderful?; Nerve wrecking! Brain-work you need; An incurable type of crazy it feeds; Beckoning… Relax and breath; Cerebral recovery awaits underneath; ‘til the mind goes… RIFT! Watch out, a battery will replace your heart that’s taken out. And before you realize, you’re already freaking out. Relax, an attempt to slow you down and make you feel at ease. But sooner or later, insanity will have you on your knees. Plague Doctor will observe you, while some others will try to unnerve you. And the only chance for recovery is to disconnect yourself from society. Is the brain operational? Is it all somewhat too sensational? Your cerebrum has made you blind. Reality check, a bad state of mind. Ephemeral rift; First your mind’s stuck, now falls over the cliff; Head checking! A flaw in the skull; Sanity gone, isn’t that wonderful?; Nerve wrecking! Brainwork you need; An incurable type of crazy it feeds; Beckoning… Relax and breath; Cerebral recovery awaits underneath; ‘til the mind goes… RIFT! Hark! Fantasy is on the move to the place you lost your mind. And there are no soothing sounds will put the spirit back into the spine. Tingle; Rush of blood to the head that will try and fix you up Unrepairable brain damage; mental health that has been robbed. Plague Doctor will observe you, while some others will try to unnerve you. And the only chance for recovery is to disconnect yourself from society. Is the brain operational? Is it all somewhat too sensational? Your cerebrum has made you blind. Reality check, a bad state of mind. Plague Doctor will observe you, while some others will try to unnerve you, And your only chance for recovery, is a one way ticket to the cemetery... Is your brain still operational? Is it all somewhat too sensational? Is this all in your head is it a distant echo? Can you resist, or does your mind go… … … RIFT!

Free At Last 07:28
Troubled vision no more, the head is clear now Sobriety isn’t real, it’s just a doubt Can you tell me what freedom is? I don’t seem to know O Why in thunderation, is it so difficult to show? Free at last – unknown turf for me Free at last – not what I expect it to be Free at last – at least now the head is clear Free at last – uncertainty and full of fear Do you want to live in peace, or live in pieces? If you don’t know that you’re enslaved, you don’t know what release is Can you tell me what freedom is; the end of the struggle? O Why in thunderation, can’t we terminate the trouble? Free at last – liberty or death Free at last – Fight until your final breath Free at last – reject tyranny! Free at last – when the bullet hits me Finish the suffering and draw it to a close You pay a heavy price for the wrong things you chose Can you tell me what freedom is; A burden hard to bear? O Why in thunderation, can’t we leave this road to nowhere? Free at last - This is where it all ends Free at last - Life will not make any amends Free at last - A warning from the posthumous Free at last - Death will come and take all of us Tell me what it feels like to be FREE… Free at last - When darkness covers thee Free at last - When you enter eternity Free at last - This wasn't supposed to be Free at last – Death just had the last laugh on me

Bloodthirsty 03:06
When the dogs pick up your scent; Exactly know just where you went; It isn't difficult to see, They’re bloodthirsty The Golden Rule of nature's way; The weakest link is first to pay; You're upgraded corpse cuisine, They’re bloodthirsty Quench the blood-thirst! When the wolves start to howl; The pack will move and hunt you down; It's getting agonizingly, They’re bloodthirsty If you want blood, come and get it; Carve it open, no anesthetic; The prey surrenders finally, They’re bloodthirsty

Alive, we all decompose when we're dead; Expired; gone you life and no remains left; Where are the people? The spirit's boundless! Below departed: the Undergrounded. Calling for something, that isn't coming (Where Are The People?) Crossing the river Styx with nothing (Where Are The People) Cannot take, that which is burned or rotten (Where Are The People?) While the soul is formless and free, so be gone on your way..... Please, don't tell the Reaper Man... A lie, that Pale Death thought to be true; The scythe won't have anything important to do; Where are the people? It’s so astounding! All cremated, or Undergrounded. Calling for something, that isn't coming (Where Are The People?) Crossing the river Styx with nothing (Where Are The People?) Cannot take, that which is burned or rotten (Where Are The People?) While the soul is formless and free, so be gone on your way... Please, don't tell the Reaper Man...

Well My Friends, It does appear that this new Thunderation method is quite promising. You would agree..., yes?... Please forgive me, but I must be on my way. I will be taking this new Thunderation method with me, so that additional 'tests' can be performed upon an unsuspecting population..., yes..., yes...

Personal gratitude:

Martin:Thanks to my bandmates Danimal, Dawid and Filip for sticking together and getting things done. Thanks to Bartosz Kluzek(brother), Monika Kluzek (cousin), Elizabeth Kikosicka (friend), Piotr Lutnik (luthier) for the support. Thanks to friends Mateusz Rogowski, Andrzej Wiktor Jurek, Mateusz Irzykowski and Krzysztof Panda Zakrzewski for help and support to finish this thing. Thanks to my whole family, friends and fans!

Danimal: Well, in retrospect it were Karol Huzarski and Mariusz Wychowanski, that were responsible for me meeting up with Martin in late 2013 and that's what got this whole thing running, so thank you guys! Thanks to Iga (wife) and Paul (father) for support. Thanks to daughter Mila for a whole new view on life and love. Former bands and friends in Netherlands, Poland and elsewhere! The Skałka-family (in particular Krzysztof Skałka - RIP) for the motivation to make music again (Fist!). And let's add my late mother Barbara and also gone friend Artur Szydlak - RIP: "sorry, for being late..."

Dave: I would like to thank my band mates for always turning off my amp during rehearsals. Big thanks to my fellow bass player Andrzej Wiktor Jurek for doing my job when I was too lazy and my parents who bought me a bass thinking I'm too dumb for a six-string instrument. Special thanks to Mateusz Irzykowski for trying to stop me when I tried to kill myself after hearing my bass lines and last but not least, thanks for Ola Hofman for constantly reminding me I'm merely a bass player.

Phil: I want to say thanks to all my friends and family who supports him - THANKS

All fans, friends and followers of Thunderation: You Rock! You Thunder! Keep Thundering!
