The album "The Familiar Song" was conceived of as a narrative -- part myth, part murder ballad, part spooky bedtime story -- and to suit the theme we have commissioned a limited run of 28 page hardcover books! The lyrics for each song are accompanied by an original illustration by Mikey Wheeler on the facing page. Each high-quality hardcover book has been signed by all members of The Widow's Ride, and comes with a download code.
Includes unlimited streaming of The Familiar Song
via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

lyrics
Come gather around me my friends. Before the fire dies.
Pay heed to my words for my lesson is true, so the same won’t happen to you.
A stranger appeared before me, and offered me silver and gold,
But all this fool ever wanted was a love to call my own.
Stay here by the fire tonight. It won't be safe till dawn.
The Stranger wanders the black of the night.
If you listen you can hear his song…
(the familiar song)
“Make a promise to me. I’ll make you a rich man, I’ll make you a king.
If you’ll say just a prayer for me.
Then you’ll find what you seek.”

What an impressive piece of black metal. This one-man hurricane is pure art. Sgah‘gahsowáh creates an haunting atmosphere. He puts so much soul in his music. Sælzer Bub

I like how gritty and the punk nastalgia I felt with this album! So after listening to this several times I want to give song number one 5 stars. The Tempo of this song is amazing with those guitar Melodies that are changing and almost all over the place. In this song this guys voice "kills me softly"! the lyrics are simple yet profound! "The light is Lost inside!" socially awkward
