Kosmik noise rock duo POHL return with ‘Pergamon’, the first song from their long-overdue debut album. Hypnotic guitars and vocal drones interweave over rolling, muscular drums…with terse, enigmatic lyrics, the track churns and builds, nimble yet bludgeoningly heavy…snowballing towards the ecstatic finale…
From Wiki:
'Pergamon or Pergamum (/ˈpɜːrɡəmən/ or /ˈpɜːrɡəmɒn/; Greek: Πέργαμον), also referred to by its modern Greek form Pergamos (Πέργαμος), was a rich and powerful ancient Greek city in Mysia. It is located 26 kilometres (16 mi) from the modern coastline of the Aegean Sea on a promontory on the north side of the river Caicus (modern-day Bakırçay) and northwest of the modern city of Bergama, Turkey.
During the Hellenistic period, it became the capital of the Kingdom of Pergamon in 281–133 BC under the Attalid dynasty, who transformed it into one of the major cultural centres of the Greek world. Many remains of its monuments can still be seen and especially the masterpiece of the Pergamon Altar. Pergamon was the northernmost of the seven churches of Asia cited in the New Testament Book of Revelation.'

The son confessed; to Pergamon!
Servants write fast works,
A faithful white furnace.
Admonished child, repent with poison’s aid,
Repeat great sounded figures!
Mysteries reside in this blood…
