about

NIGREDO was initially written by my brother, Benjamin Cooper and myself in late 2010 / early 2011 with then the input of the members of our band BRONZE CHARIOT, namely; Scott Williams, Matt Barlow, Mark Draper and Nathan Abbott. (Lyrics also by Benjamin Cooper)

The song then came the one of nine and title track on the May 27th 2011 released album 'Nigredo', recorded January 2011 at Capital Sound Studios in Adelaide, Australia - Engineered by Justin Hermes & Mike Deslandes - Mixed by Justin Hermes - Mastered by JJ Golden at Golden Mastering CA

The original version of the song Nigredo can be found at the below link to BRONZE CHARIOT's album, NIGREDO

lyrics

He came over plains
Stretching out as one can see
There’s a trail of tombstones
And eulogies from howling dogs

His crooked unkept jaw
Whistles jingled cries
Its no myth oh there’s a reason
For devastation to be swaggering in
Town bells were ringing
Yet no damn fool listening
The doors they get right kicked in
There’s only one way to skin a dirty cat

Oh man rich and poor
Curse money they don’t need it no more
And awe marches it marches on and on
To level this shit hole into the ground
Here comes Nigredo

That look in his eyes looks a little too familiar
On cruel lonely nights I dream of Nigredo
