Dec 8, 2023, saw the release of Magick Helmet, Megaton Leviathan's first album in the five years since their critically acclaimed and groundbreaking cinematic Industrial Doomgaze masterpiece, Mage. Once again, it stumping critics and fans alike as it presents itself as something unrecognizable to even the adept, Leaving many with more questions than answers.
With the new single, Silver Tears, the announcement of a new lineup in a new town, Astoria, Oregon, signaling a new era of Megaton Leviathan. With a slimmed-down, volatile three-piece ensemble of Tory Chappell on Drums, Alex Wynn on Bass, Reuscher on guitar, synth, post-power electronics, programming, and vocals.
Megaton leviathan presents a kaleidoscope of opposites as Magick Helmet is entirely comprised of live way-out improvisations under the direction of Reuscher in an exercise with one goal in mind: unity. The single Silver Tears returns to the droning and gazing one might expect in a Megaton Leviathan studio track. Oozing of things primordial, proto, and Cromagnon. Drawing from 60’s psychedelic garage punk and early industrial.

Lyrics
Now, Girl, are you flying?
Above the altar of endless years?
I found myself lucid and aware
Feral and stoned beneath the tower
Now, girl, are you drowning?
In a pool below of silver tears?
I see your portrayal In the new age
In A mirror, of Your silver tears…
Your silver tears …
