UNDER TWO TATOOINE SUNS 01:20
lyrics
buy track
So painful to witness, so hard not to stare. This desert exhausts me, sickeningly bare. Some look and see nothing. Surrounded; Alone. Some live and breathe, dying. My struggle, my home. You can shut your eyes, pray for salvation Though night may come, you can never shun The two Tatooine suns

SARLACC ARISE 01:03
lyrics

ARISE! One thousand years. Rotting alone. Consumed. Sustenance. The creature feeds on what brought you here; the sins your flesh imprisons. No fate worse for our enemies, no greater satisfaction for our kind.

UPON THE BANTHA'S BACK 00:39
lyrics
buy track
Ride! Target sighted. The passions of struggle, the fight is ignited. Ride! Our sympathy lacks. We laugh at the faces of fear we attack. Ride, Bantha! Ride!

BLOOD ON BOONTA EVE 01:17
lyrics
buy track
"There will come a day when all must fight. We are too few." Intrude, encroach. The spread of their filth is a boot on our throats. Your spectacles, your games, vapidly celebrate. Put our blasters to the masters of our wavering fate. Our lands once sacred, pod-racers defile. Blood on boonta eve. Our targets- their smiles.

CARRY ON 00:13
lyrics
buy track
The two suns descend. Gather all, around the fire. Young and old, together, vibrant. The time has arrived. Tales of our wars, tales of our passion, stories carry meaning, blanketed beneath the infinite sky. The dunes carry echoes of a desperate past, as harsh as the hot winds that shape them. As hardened as the scales of Dewbacks, as sharp as the spines of the plants. It is our responsibility. To ourselves and our elders, to the youth and their wide eyes, to the masks that shield them from the harsh sands. Knowledge, sacred, indispensable. Unforgettable. Learned, honed, applied. Though expectations and troubles abound, one foot in the struggle is a step toward freedom. And the keys to our future lie buried deep in the sands of our past. It is our responsibility. The two suns descend. We carry on.

OF RAIDS AND RAGE 00:31
lyrics
buy track
ATTACK! There is no use in fighting back. What is yours will be ours. Neither you nor your ignorance belong on our lands. Expect no sympathy. Our broken hearts aflame. When we speak. OF RAIDS AND RAGE.

about

A long time ago... in a galaxy far, far away...

Living in the outskirts on the desert planet of Tatooine... was a race of sand-dwelling scavenger warriors colloquially known as "Sand People," the Tusken Raiders.

They were known for their viciousness toward those they consider outsiders, having been pushed out of their territories by colonizing forces. One day, as they often do, they went out targeting a Sail Barge to pillage for various goods and supplies to loot.

This particular barge provided them with goods they'd never seen before. There were this strange stringed instruments, with cables attached to speaker boxes. They looked as if from another land and time. Also among that which they stole were droids... but no ordinary droids.

They were specially primed to be sequenced with rhythmic audio output, and had memory banks full of sounds from around the galaxy, and could even record their own new ones!

As they became more familiar with the scores of their raid, they found that there was more to getting their anger out than just target practicing Pod Racers on Boonta Eve. They discovered a new way of continuing their tradition of oral story telling, and to make use of their expressive, gutteral language of grunts and shouts.

They discovered that they could also "rock."

Their primitive lifestyle and untamed aggression fused with advanced technological music abilities has bred the harsh sounds from the digital power-violence band known around the galaxy as... THE TUSKEN RAIDERS.
