Happy Sunday everyone! We've got a wonderfully twisted way to end the week, with a new single and lyric video from Mr. Bones and the Boneyard Circus! Check out the dark story behind their song "Bedlam" below, and as always, don't forget to like and share the link!
Mr. Bones and the Boneyard Circus joined the Tower of Doom Music family a few years back, and the band has been on an absolute tear since then. They kicked things off with two solid singles in the form of "Take Me Down" and "Blood on the Road" - both of which also had incredible music videos shot and directed by Pedring Lopez of Black Ops Studios. Then the band took a small break from releasing their own singles to collaborate again with Black Ops Studios - this time to create the soundtrack for "Maria" - an insane action movie starring Christine Reyes! (Side note, if you guys haven't seen it, watch Maria ASAP!) Now that the movie has been released and picked up by Netflix, the band is getting back on track with their own album, and Bedlam marks the third single released so far. If you watch all of the videos from this latest album, you'll also see more and more interconnections in the shared universe the characters inhabit, and "Bedlam" is no exception, giving us a deeper look into one of the Boneyard World's many haunted characters.
Mr. Bones and the Boneyard Circus currently consists of Mr. Bones on vocals, Alvin Chan and Karl Kliatchko on guitars, Paige Buan on bass, Aldreen Alcantara on drums, Karl Vito Cruz on synth, and Xombie on backup vocal duties. You can find out more about the band, their upcoming releases, and their upcoming shows right here on their official Facebook page, so give them a like and follow so you don't miss out! And if you're planning on going to one of their shows, be sure to show the band your support by grabbing your very own Mr. Bones shirt from the DoomShop! Just click the pic below and get yours today!
Mr. Bones and the Boneyard Circus - Bedlam
Welcome to the show
Oh, my friends
I've come to share the light of all my mends
You've seen it all before
All these acts are such a bore
Oh just wait, just wait
Finally you found yourself at ease
I'll take you to a train wreck of my peace
Cradle all your drinks
Hold on tight and just think
If you're willing to swallow
Crown me the fool of this dance
This fascinating, phantasma trance
Obliged to drop a dime
For this freak show is a crime
You must devour, you must devour
Down at the bedlam
Follow me…
Laughing my time away
Holding the pendulum
Time goes by…
For the real games I play
Call me strange, call me plain
Or hate
For you are the ones who strings all my fate
Grinding portraits of rhyme
Drenched with an alcoholic mind
Oh tag along to, this destruction
Call the taker tell him it's too late
I stole the scythe from death
I'll eat my cake
I am done with this horrid ride
It takes 2 for a grand surprise
Oh you've been waiting for this show!
Down at the bedlam
Follow me, wait and see
Laughing my time away
Holding the pendulum
Time goes by, fall in line
For the real games I play
