    FINALLY Rusty Shipp has a vinyl record -- and AUTOGRAPHED! Listen to "Dark Side of the Ocean" as it was intended to be heard -- on a 2-sided vinyl.

    It's our most ambitious album, written and recorded in two halves specifically for vinyl, with 21:30 minutes on each side. "Side One: Descent" (the sinking soul of a sailor encountering the mysteries of the ocean as he descends to the bottom of the ocean), and "Side Two: Ascent" (the Sea Angels ascend to the surface to see where all these sinking souls are coming from).

lyrics

LYRICS:

SAILORS:
Back and forth we sway and sink
In tidal chains our spirits are linked
Who knew the River Styx channeled the sea
And ends at a kingdom lit up by the deceased

Spirits rule over their territories
Angels and demons are princes and kings
If gods of mythology were Nephilim
Then surely Poseidon is the King of the Deep

ANGELS:
When the souls of men, reach their full dissent
We’ll be waiting to catch them into our hands
Their hearts will be known, whether chaff or gold
Burned on the Hearth of the ocean’s King Archangel

POSEIDON:
I have leagues, of angels with me
Sit on my throne catching souls like trophies
I’ve been known, as Neptune and Poseidon
King of the Deep between land and Perdition

ANGELS:
Falling from above, we know not where from
But we collect them into our aquarium

SAILORS:
Six feet down, or six thousand
We’re buried by fathoms until our judgment
Back and forth we sway and sink
In tidal chains our spirits are linked
ANGELS:
When the Son of God, gives his final call
His voice rings out into the tombs of us all
Their hearts will be known, whether chaff or gold
Burned on the Hearth of the ocean’s King Archangel
POSEIDON:
Chaff will burn, on Poseidon’s Hearth
Those who are left resurrect back to Earth
All the souls, in Davy Jones
Will wash ashore to the Great White Throne
HARMONY: OOOOHS

Rusty Shipp image

Rusty Shipp Nashville, Tennessee

Named after the frontman Russ T. Shipp, the band has created a sound known as Nautical Rock ‘n’ Roll. Characterized by its dark, underwater atmosphere, haunting vocals, and unconventional riffs, the music is a perfect fusion of grunge and surf rock, though it is most memorable for the Beatlesque hooks in every single song.
