For those who are least able to function in the world, give it the greatest gifts.

The world reserves its rewards for those who know how to work the system … shiny silver car porsche spider sits outside the gemini lounge.

Teddy boys, ravers, ban the bombers, mods and rockers on the beach.

Come out of the film ‘Exorcist’ sat in a room that’s how black magic we were. Burn in the crucible, torment of fire, fire of brimstone pray for your soul …

Step out of your fridge-a-dare, the jagged icicles like teeth of a frozen beast frame this barren tundra.

Telegrams, Queen Victoria, Charge of the Light Brigade, Lord Cardigan and the postage stamp penny black.

Oh what a girl, in this spirit world ectoplasmic mad whirl, levitating tables flickering lights and the ghosts go ohhh !
Morosite of the nation, state of mal de vivre, so tristesse hip la sinister twist.

Just a war of words a little bit of skullduggery, don’t take the poison chalice not even if she asks you to.
Solitary diners, pointless walks on the promenade, fortune tellers and phrenologists prepare to leave their abodes.

A thousand angers have kept me alive look at the table the electrics plugged in …

Skullduggery
Absinthe
Black Magic
Human Fly
Operator
Gemini Lounge
Cryogenic
Clairvoyant
Penny Black
Something Wicked
Jekyll and Hyde
Good Night


Complete "Nemesis" reviews

Mick Mercer

Their most openly inviting and infectious record, by a mile, there isn’t a duff moment on this, and it’s so ludicrously charming I can’t think why anyone wouldn’t like this.

Peek-a-Boo

On "Nemesis" you hear once again what brilliant songwriters they are.

ChainDLK

Sounding now dark then epic and after that, acid, Venus Fly Trap made a fresh album that will take you for a ride through dark lands but with intermittent green flashes and pink lollipops.

Trinity-Chroniques

Affublé d'un superbe artwork rétro-futuriste, le nouvel album studio de Venus Fly Trap "
Nemesis" distille avec toujours autant de fougue et d'originalité un rock sombre teinté d'arrangements électroniques.
