1.
welcome to the universe / stars collide and stars disperse / find ourselves in new dimensions / find our souls and reach ascension / welcome to the universe / stars collide and stars disperse / find ourselves in new dimensions / find our souls and reach ascension / our heroes passed through infinite void / but emerge disappointed on the other side / orange planets, purple skies / this is not a solar system they recognize / but with strength in their souls and love in their hearts / on a brand new journey, they soon will embark
2.
dance, dance, dance into an interstellar trance / gonna jump planet to planet in an orbital advance / catch me on a gravity wave, it's my reality / i'm going dummy with this astronaut mentality / hanging out in the back of the ship / with a 5-star view of the solar eclipse / catch me on a gravity wave, it's my reality / i'm going dummy with this astronaut mentality / in space there's no breaks / dance, dance, dance into an interstellar trance / gonna jump planet to planet in an orbital advance / catch me on a gravity wave, it's my reality / i'm going dummy with this astronaut mentality / shlah myself... for the thrill of the ride / putting on my suit and i'm heading outside / catch me on a gravity wave, it's my reality / i'm going dummy with this astronaut mentality / in space there's no breaks / in space we go insane / catch me on a gravity wave, it's my reality / i'm going dummy with this astronaut mentality
3.
becoming weightless as we exit the ship / we're all surrounded by the darkness of a solar eclipse / here on the moon of a mysterious planet we see / the very outermost reaches of a new galaxy / with only starlight as our guide we will traverse to the south / equip our telescopes and find another viable route / back to the solar system we have all come to adore / we don't belong outside our galaxy anymore / we need to find another way / we'll hardly last another day / the universe will take its toll / but it will never crush our souls / i'm not at home in the universe / i'll never settle down amongst the stars / i must return to my galaxy / pray that i never stray too far / accelerate into the orbit above / we're out of fuel, thank god the ship is powered by love / so now we're building up speed as we circle the moon / and then we slingshot away with a spectacular boom / this is the captain speaking, this is your boss / we've reached lightspeed, but at a terrible cost: / we're no longer able to steer the ship / it'll take all that we've got to make it out of this / we need to find another way / we'll hardly last another day / the universe will take its toll / but it will never crush our souls / i'm not at home in the universe / i'll never settle down amongst the stars / i must return to my galaxy / pray that i never stray too far
4.
this is the captain speaking, attention / we just went through a lightspeed timewarp / and the consequence of this is... we're in the year 30,000 / we've gone too far: a billion years / into the future, and catastrophe nears / andromeda, the milky way, colliding into one another today / they start to merge, and soon they form / a super galaxy, just as we were warned / and from the stars and planets too, we see the energy of atoms renew / i see the horns and wispy hair atop the head of a creature in there / for he is born, and comes to life: a creature born with the gift of flight (god) / he charges us, we make a move, and from the ship we see the face of our doom / remember quickly, he barely missed the weapon station at the top of the ship / i mount the ladder, and climb the stairs / he's coming at us once again through the air / i grab the handles, i take the seat, and blow the alien to smithereens / but soon his parts start to converge / it seems his molecules are starting to merge into a form: a larger beast / charging our weapons takes an hour at least / we must evade behind the sun / he trails quickly as we try to run / we do our best, he finds his stride / it seems we're running out of places to hide / beyond event horizons / space dust and stars and lightning / a supernova on the way (a supernova in the milky way) / in time to save us from the creature, and space explosions / sleigher will fly another day (now it's time to fly this ship away) / now it's time to fly dat ship away
5.
The Megavoid 08:34
6.
our heroes made a dangerous choice: they travelled directly into the megavoid / the only realm to save them from the time travelling creature from which they run / but as stars and planets come into sight, our heroes sense a terrible fright / their ship is pulled into a beam projected by a ship unseen / and now they must prepare for war: this is an enemy they've seen before
7.
wake up in a haze, can't tell where we are / sheltered by walls with no sign of the stars / a throne sits ahead, atop it a man / nay, it's a creature standing tall, he outstretches his hand / he calls out, "welcome to my palace. oh, isn't it grand?"/ we reply, "what the fuck do you want with our interstellar band?" / he says he wishes to destroy all those that come from the earth / we scream, "you'll pay for giovanni, and all the others you've hurt!" / in the palace of galactic lord / finally come to settle the score / bring back peace to the universe, and get back home / side to side, we can do this all night / dodging lasers left and right: it's a hell of a sight / up and down, then we spin him around / palace of galactic lord is shlaer lair now / sippin' a galactic martini from the palace pluto bar / sleigher's living big now, i love shlaer, oh my god / the world's tallest band just keeps getting taller / we take from the rich and we shlaughter / but it's ok though, because it was self-defence, and anyways there are no laws in space, lol / this beautiful structure, by the way, has the finest decor: blue velvet curtains, and a wardrobe of velour / this rug depicts jesus christ's christening / that's authentic christian memorabilia / celebration time, c'mon! / a toast to our fallen comrade, giovanni / and hooray for his posthumous induction into the rock and roll hall of fame / side to side, we can do this all night / dodging lasers left and right: it's a hell of a sight / up and down, then we spin him around / palace of galactic lord is shlaer lair now "hello?" "giovanni?" "hello?" "is that you?" "it's'a me!" "giovanni!" when the moon hits your eye / like a big pizza pie, that's amoré / when the moon hits your eye / giovanni back, he alive... that's amoré
8.
giovanni’s soul is free from clutches of lord of galaxy in an urn his essence held inside the palace, upon a shelf and in the battle’s roaring pace knocked it was from it’s resting place and celebrate, we truly did the great return of a closest friend but in the void of that special urn evil spirits began to turn for inside spacetime became distorted and to other dimensions, it opened up a portal in other lands, in other times a tall fellow with epic rhymes was an ally of the sleigher clique but as he passes through the rift his body becomes twisted and his soul becomes malicious and on the sleigher team, his murderous eyes become fixed ...
9.
The Betrayal 02:30
slemon lost in outer rim, things are looking fairly dim / only light to lead the way is blunnie's end / my yellow lemon laser sword / i think they'll all be very sorry they stepped into the chamber of the slemon lord / power mad, i'm hungry / clad in wizard robes like vlad / my blade will cauterize the wounds of galaxies / stifled by the size of my blaster rifle, causing crisis / i ain't biased: just decide to pull the trigger, then you're mine / if sleigher thinks they're taking off, I think they'll all be very sorry / my canon meets the dome of anyone who tries to rock / i am the senate / betrayed by slemon man / he's not a part of our team / he's out of the band / another foe to foil before we fly away, back to homely soil / kid gorgeous, squid gorgeous, slemon man bout to eat a clip / clad in arcy, showin' no mercy / murder time, and then i dip / zip tie the slemon, squeeze the lemon / symbols shattered on the shank / king gorgeous, ting gorgeous / 13 pounds of bleach in the tank / betrayed by slemon man / he's not a part of our team / he's out of the band / another foe to foil before we fly away, back to homely soil / die slemon, die / betrayed by slemon man
10.
on the observation deck with the curtains drawn / i want the black expanse to swallow me whole / lulled to sleep by the engine's roar i don't wanna see the stars anymore / planetary hands and a lunar heart / the gravity between tearing me apart / i only wish to trade all the stars for trees and the endless black space for all the skies and seas / who are you? / i don't know / does the wind blow hard? / the air stands still / who are you? / who's asking? / does the wind blow hard? / as hard as the wind can blow / we are sleigher and we're here to say / we feel a little sad in a major way / feeling rather trapped on a trip through space / i'm really fucking tired of all of the space / lots of space / fuck the space / no more space / fuck the state / lots of space / fuck the space / who are you? / i don't know / does the wind blow hard? / the air stands still / who are you? / who's asking? / does the wind blow hard? / as hard as the wind can blow
11.
our heroes are exhausted after several battles but must prepare for ultravoid travel it’s risky, but it’s their only chance to return to earth, and see the plants and oceans large; and animals majestic galactic lord and slemon man bested travel into the unknown and hope that on the other side; they will have made it back home

about

"Sleigher Universal is a triumph of the human spirit" -Griffon Simms

Picking up immediately after the climactic ending to 'GALACTIC,' our heroes have passed through The Void Infinity, but are now lost much deeper in the universe. It is in this uncharted realm that Sleigher must face off against many terrifying foes...

After a two-year wait, Sleigher have finally completed the highly-anticipated followup to their 2018 masterpiece, "GALACTIC"...

"UNIVERSAL"is their most focused and conceptual record to date. Drawing heavily from pop-punk, psych rock, metal, and electronic music on many of the tracks, Sleigher have pushed their sound into a wholly new and exciting territory.

Recorded December 2019 - January 2020 in the stu.
