A defiant, Alt-Metal, aggressive progressive indie rock battle hymn about two longtime songwriting partners overcoming age, disappointment and long odds to take one last ride in the music game. Outlaw’s (Mark Fahad: Bones Brothers, Code 13) southern rock guitars swirl with Kendall Scott’s (Nektar, Red Bank Blues Band) orchestral Hammond B3 as they fire away beneath Cobra’s (Darren Johnson : Moroccan Sheepherders) wailing vocals with the smooth haunting harmonies of Pat Murphy (Moroccan Sheepherders, Legion of Prog). Scott Burton’s (Moroccan Sheepherders, City Asylum, Damage Done) booming bass crests over the trip-hammer kick drums of Vic Montanaro (Cheshire Grin, Dmanzland) driving the five-ticket ride.

OMEGA TRAIN

ANTHEMS FOR UNDERDOGS.
Erupting from the heart of the Garden State comes OMEGA TRAIN; an indie rock band of power, passion and palpable emotion. Their sound? They call it “Suburban Apocalypse Blues.” It’s like KISS fighting Lynyrd Skynyrd at Little Richard’s barbecue. A mad teddy bear poet wailing angst and irony over a southern-fried gunslinger’s guitar riffs, infused with walking bass lines and body punch percussion.
Formed in 1990, the band formerly known as “Last Train Out,” this genre blending group played the NJ/NY gig circuit and released the album “Three Alarm Fire” (2003). Cobra (Lead Singer) & The Outlaw (Lead Guitar) now ride again, with new and previously unreleased material—more hook driven song craft for the 21st Century. Call it “hard folk” or “southern rock gospel,” OMEGA TRAIN’s destination is straight to the heart of the listener. So get on board. Throw the “O” and…

“Musically, the guitars are vibrant and aggressive, with riffs that underpin the song's progressive character, while the bass and drums are powerful and solid, the kind you feel in your chest. Furthermore the Hammond organ arrangements add an almost gospel-like vibe that gives it an unexpectant nuance and heightens the emotional intensity. Vocally, the perfomance is melodic, with bright tones and plenty of energy. There are rises, pauses and bursts that keep the listener engaged throughout.”

“Both the sound of the bell and the train horn immediately give the song a striking ambient and organic feel. Like a perfect vignette, this combination of sounds leads the composition to a moment of well-crafted rhythmic drive in contact with a sweetly acidic harmonic layer the strongly recalls the progressive-psychedelic touch typical of Deep Purple.”

Lyrics
Left for dead far long gone
Still the whistle wails under whiskey guitar chords
Let the Train Roll on
EMC squared is relativity
As we rise above the clouds of negativity
Let the Train Roll on
Weathered steel just as strong
Still got stamina all night long
Ride or Die
Ride or Die
Grab the ring that no one else wanted
Ride or Die (Hmmm)
Ride or Die (Ride or Die now!)
Undefeatable Nigh Undaunted
3.142 is Pi
When the crowd circles round
We can still make the ladies sigh (Ahhhh)
Let the Train Roll on
Sucker punch knocked us down
We rebound
Ring the bell start the next round
Let the Train Roll on
Tire tread's a little thin
Crank the throttle we're all dialed in
Ride or Die (Cobra and the Outlaw)
Ride or Die (Bangin' on your front door)
Exorcising ghosts and those haunted
Ride or Die (Tearin' down the third rail)
Ride or Die (Dread pirates again set sail)
Undefeatable Nigh Undaunted
Ride or Die (Cobra and the Outlaw)
Ride or Die (Blood Brothers forevermore)
Final stand we've thrown down the gauntlet
Ride or Die (Let the Train Roll on)
Ride or Die (Omega Train Roll on)
Unbelievable
Inconceivable
Undefeatable Nigh Undaunted
