Moonbeams

by Clyde Von Klaus

supported by
Professor Groove

Professor Groove Moonbeams opens gates to realms undreamed of and guides you through masterfully. If you get lost in the story, it’s okay. It’s a wonderful story-scary and beautiful. Favorite track: The Harbor Unites the Deluded.
Ray Dorsey

Ray Dorsey A release under the stoner/doom umbrella that DOESN’T include the words “witch” or “bong!” It does include the impressive talents of the one-man project CLYDE VON KLAUS. “Moonbeams” is surely heavy enough but that’s not the draw here for me. Nah, I’m blown away by the variety of the songs and the infectious melodies. I wasn’t expecting the “Screaming...”-Priest melodies on “Concede” nor the absolute “Fluff”-with-vocals beauty of “Bring Back Your Smile.” Favorite track: Ale of Extractions.
DenpaFuzz

DenpaFuzz A difficult to classify album. Noisy, raw and different, it is a sound journey in which dimensions such as time and space are blurred. Influenced by 70's rock, the desert-rock vibes take on a cosmic hue, in which psychedelia, proto-metal echoes, garage-rock and heavy stoner riffs, doom, even with dirty sludge moments, take on a new sense

Andy K. Clyde Von Klaus is quickly becoming one of my favorite one man projects. The diversity between the tracks and even within some tracks is impressive on this killer release. I also love how he uses different vocal techniques on different songs to great effect. An interesting album covering a spectrum of heavy genres that has a great balance of experimentation and good ole hard rock elements. I Love it. 🤘🏼

Favorite track: The Harbor Unites the Deluded.

Some concept destroyed my energy Seems to be the Ale of Extractions Could it be controlling an army of me Open my drawer of dreams erase the time Searching for answers to why there is(not) a key Love lost fantasy seems so obscene Everywhere is lost and gone and all I've seen Old sympathy where have you gone With less corrections taught like affection It seems to be same concept controlling every me
2.
Concede 02:55
Do you believe in another world Has destiny got your tongue You could've had everything Now I know you're not the one You lit the fire Burn the memories, burn the liar I'll walk the wire Leave the memories, leave the fire Do you concede there's a better world Has agony left you numb You could've had everything Now we know I'm not the one Do you believe in another world Now we know you're not the one
3.
Push the pedal to the floor The engine's shaking to the core I'm not sure that I will survive Ice is running through my veins Vision's clear I'm not insane I've never felt so alive All the stars through the night Shine approval for my flight I know that they will understand On my way to the sun Live the dream we are one An open road a loaded gun Now it's time the burning sun Blink my eyes and we are one The lonely road is far behind Freedom gleaming up ahead Blinded eyes but I'm not dead It doesn't matter now that I've arrived All the stars through the night Shine approval for my flight I know that they will understand Now we'll shine We are the sun Now we'll shine We are the one
4.
I'm So Right 02:40
Take time to swallow At the tip of your words It's so buried deep within No protest or any doubt It's hard to reason with the pain Fingers entwined and stained I leave this game it's your turn Answers are all I've learned Open up wide And hiss it out You're piled up so high You're in the clouds So sit back down And breath it out Comes back to this I'm always I'm always right
5.
Detonation 03:09
The wind blows bye Explosive ringing in my ear What has changed your mind A distance so close fear you're falling Look both ways Which way are you going No forms to fill You're free from falling The last one out Which way are you going No bill to pay You're free from calling
6.
Knock it off of me This broken novelty of love The sunshine is too bright I wish it was always night I keep you in my heart The starlight can always make you smile Hope you always know I sent the moonbeams from above I lost my way But then you found me The starlight makes you smile Traveling all those lonely miles To reach you You showed me how to feel And fixed this broken heart blackness The only thing in this world I can give you is light Knock it off of me This broken novelty of love
7.
Black Eye 03:21
Damn this frustration Always overtaking me There's no obligation You've got to stop reminding me I want a reason To open up my eyes Your instigation opens the wound I'm bleeding I'm bleeding A fist to my eye Is better than the tales your feeding me A face to despise I look in the mirror it's haunting me I think of the dead men And the innocent bloodshed Damn this frustration Always overtaking me And I want a reason To open up my eyes Your instigation opens the wound I'm bleeding I'm bleeding It's haunting me It's haunting me
8.
Feel Fell In 02:52
Could this be an unreal dream But I feel the demon living in me I cannot lie The Devil's alive Look in my eye and I am Satan's child Cannot look at you Cannot break my vow To serve and fulfill my task I'm so afraid I control the flame I'm so ashamed I made it burn Burned to the bone In hell I'm alone Flesh is not real Death will not heal Cannot find A place to hide I am the reason You're going to die
9.
It's not until next week that you'll say I'm not standing in your way When was the last time I saw you I can't remember that day Secrets of your lying ways Contradiction from your final days Tear stained destiny the latest craze No more words Just shut your eyes Your make believe will never be What you did I already know I will not ever forgive The lake it's cold so damn cold Your blood is warm like the sun Shining down upon your back Like a beam, like a blade an attack
10.
The lovely trees weep helplessly They're always left in the rain Painful memories they will fall away With all of the leaves The season is changing in every way Please don't cry again The flowers scent is in the air A whisper in your ear The rain comes down The sun is gone Bring back your smile The rain comes down The sun is gone Open up your heart The lovely trees still have no leaves Still enjoying the rain All's not lost just come with me And we'll jump in these leaves The season is changing in every way Lets just stay the same The rain comes down The sun is gone Bring back your smile The rain comes down The sun is gone Open up your heart

about

Clyde Von Klaus Hutto, Texas

A doomy garage rock extravaganza.
A one man band raw and dirty
Just me and often my dog Luna hanging
Up in the spare bedroom studio
Messing about as the occasion sees fit
What happens is the outcome
No intent No plan
Just making songs
It’s a necessity
And I love it
As I hope you do
