"Fog Watch" tells the tragic story of Ian, a man descending into madness. Through a series of increasingly distorted experiences, we witness his journey from isolated lighthouse keeper to drug-addicted nomad.
- Fog Watch: Ian battles loneliness and encroaching insanity, symbolized by the perpetual fog. The lyrics reflect his isolation and mental deterioration.
- Thankful: Ian's desire for validation turns to bitter rage as he resents the lack of gratitude from those he protects.
- Rizen: Ian falls under the influence of a false deity, surrendering reason for blind obedience.
- Siren Comes: Ian faces nightly temptations, battling internal fears and desires.
- Trenched In: Ian's final act of devotion leads to his self-burial, a symbolic death and rebirth.
- Bombay Way: The reality is revealed: Ian's experiences were drug-induced delusions, culminating in a fatal overdose in Bombay Beach.
"FOG WATCH" explores themes of isolation, the search for meaning, and the destructive power of delusion.
Gillsaw's sound is a meticulously crafted fusion of heavy metal's muscularity and industrial music's stark, electronic edge. This powerful core is layered with intricate progressive structures and ethereal new age ambient textures, creating a dynamic and immersive atmosphere that defies genre boundaries.
