Giant Lion

electric guitar melodies mesh with profound vocal harmonies, luring viola turns and

a rhythm section featuring an often-tribalistic percussion tandem. Catchy and

thought evoking lyrics will stain your senses with new found enlightenment.

Nearly three centuries ago, a mysterious light source was found

at the bottom of the Creb Sea several hundred miles from the coast

of New Hindaua. The light was unexplained, yet illuminated a cave that

was home to a small colony of sea creatures not too unlike the present day jellyfish.

The creatures were said to make beautiful music in the mysterious light of the sea.

They were also said to have had irreverant powers of mind soothing which can

be compared to nothing of this day. In the midst of the sixteenth century, an explorer

named Hansel "the god child" Stronsten, felt a strange desire pulling him to the

site of the cave, half protruding from the sea. He sailed directly to the light on emotion

alone, and upon arrival, made an unsettling discovery. No creature, in fact, had been

making the entrancing music at all. More exactly, it was a form of it's own

composing the music simply for the jelly organisms. The form was, separately, a

lonely saint (spirit of the highlands), a mysterious jewel peddler (the spirit of the eagle),

an invisible woman (spirit of the smoke), a psychic who'd seen enough (spirit of the horse),

a world class hunter who'd given up the gun (spirit of the grass), and a man known only

to have been a dentist (spirit of the spider). The form was, collectively,

a diamond-hilted lion, who spoke in harmonies and sighed in melodies.

Hansel, upon meeting the lion's eyes, drew his blade and cut open the lion,

releasing all six spirits. The six delicately laid Mr. Stronsten to rest and now travel the

earth and its realms, in search of their lost form.
