ALL HAIL THE SWAMP THING.
PROTECTOR OV LIFE. HERO OV THE SWAMP.
This is a re-interpretation ov the theme song from the original live action Swamp Thing show that came out in 1990. It has been made into epic swampy death metal by your friends in WHARFLURCH for the express reason ov making you feel swamp magick in your bones cuz we love you.
The lyrics come from the intro as well, as I quote from wiki...
"Swamp Thing debuted with "The Emerald Heart" on Friday, July 27, 1990, in the 10:30pm EST time slot. The show's introductory narration decrees:
The swamp is my world. It is who I am; it is what I am. I was once a man. I know the evil men do. Do not bring your evil here, I warn you. Beware the wrath of Swamp Thing."
This will be available on FLEXI DISC vinyl from FROZEN SCREAMS IMPRINT!!!!

It's part and parcel with our live studio performance release as well... Here's the info from the label....
WHARFLURCH “Transmissions From The Swamp Cosmos” (FSI-028) - Frozen Screams Imprint celebrates our first year in operation as a label w/ a milestone new release from Florida’s psychedelic swamp lurkers, WHARFLURCH! This project has been in the works for awhile so I am thrilled to announce the full details. Myk / Wharflurch + Claw//Eight (responsible for the INSANE custom artwork for this release) have been instrumental in the evolution of both the label + zine, so its an honor to drop this collab as our final (?) imprint release of 2021 . . .

“Transmissions From The Swamp Cosmos” was professionally shot + recorded live w/ no overdubs @ Black Bear Studios in Gainesville, FL earlier this year. The 30 min set includes select tunes from the Wharflurch catalog, w/ cinematography by Liz Ramos (@liz_lameos) + editing / FX by Cary Smith aka Basslurch (@zurazawa). Multiple camera angles + trippy visual effects enhance the oozing depth of the music within — all with a low-fi VHS aesthetic. As an added bonus alongside this live transmission, we bring you an exclusive track: “Swamp Thing” — Wharflurch’s brilliant + unique re-imagining of the original classic TV series theme!
