This world has no more certainty There’s no such thing as easy street Can’t fight what’s coming, can’t hide away It’s time to force your final play Daylight fades into night Dreams now, hidden from the light There’s a man down (Legend Down) And he’s hit the ground (Legend Down) Can’t hear a sound (Legend Down) And his soul is heaven bound Man down (Legend Down) And he’s hit the ground (Legend Down) Can’t hear a sound (Legend Down) And his soul is heaven bound Your burning fire turns to ash Your world and empire start to crash Can’t stop what’s coming, can’t heal the pain Your whole existence down the drain Brave and strong unto the end Courage that no man can pretend There’s a man down (Legend Down) And he’s hit the ground (Legend Down) Can’t hear a sound (Legend Down) And his soul is heaven bound Man down (Legend Down) And he’s hit the ground (Legend Down) Can’t hear a sound (Legend Down) And his soul is heaven bound There’s a man down (Legend Down) And he’s hit the ground (Legend Down) Can’t hear a sound (Legend Down) And his soul is heaven bound Man down (Legend Down) Yeah he’s hit the ground (Legend Down) Can’t hear a sound (Legend Down) And his soul is heaven bound

about

'Crackin' Skulls And Crushin' Bones' is the debut album by Sydney based hard rock band Durty Triix. Written, recorded and produced by frontman Scotty Ginn (Boss, Rags N Riches) at his Mazz-XT Music Studio, the album is chock full of killer rock songs. It embodies everything that was great about 80's hard rock with a contemporary edge. The classic influences are certainly there - AC/DC, Aerosmith, Def Leppard, Whitesnake, Scorpions, but are fleshed out by Ginn's distinctive writing style.
The Durty Triix live band is:
Scotty Ginn - Lead vocals, guitar
Dave McKeowen - Lead guitar, backing vocals
Damian McDonald - Bass, backing vocals
Jason McDonald - Drums

"an album that stakes strong claims for one of THE hard rock/ heavy metals album of 2022, be it in Australia or worldwide." The Rockbrat Blog

"It all gels in this sleazy ode to excess, full of
sexually aggressive women and up-for-it
lads. If you’ve ever had a really good night
on the bad side of town, you’ll love it." Classic Rock magazine

"Durty Triix started this party with a bombastic sleaze and glam rock sound…and never looked back! ‘Crackin’ Skulls And Crushin’ Bones’ (the album) has been full of energy, oomph, and pizzazz – and is a cracking album." Metal-Roos/Frenzy Fire

"the harder edged spirit of 80’s rock is indeed embodied with relish and enjoyment here" Sleaze Roxx
