About
On “Come & See” Mamaleek seek to weaponize the tropes of blues, jazz and black metal through an understanding of their respective formal structures. Known for flouting genre conventions, the band’s newest album marks yet another degree of separation from their metal roots. Here Mamaleek draws inspiration from post-war public housing—specifically Chicago’s notorious Cabrini Green housing project—seeking to analyze the emotional impact of the spaces we occupy, the surreal forces behind the appearance of physical reality, and the residues they leave behind. “Come and See” is the band’s third full-length LP for The Flenser, and their first release written and recorded with a full band. Album was recorded live with little to no overdubs. Released March 27, 2020.

Notes from the original pressing. Later editions may differ.
What is song’s eternity?
Come and see.
Can it noise and bustle be?
Come and see.
Praises sung or praises said
Can it be?
Wait awhile and these are dead-
Sigh, sigh;
Be they high or lowly bred They die.
What is song’s eternity?
Come and see.
Melodies of earth and sky,
Here they be.
Song once sung to Adam’s ears
Can it be?
Ballads of six thousand years
Thrive, thrive;
Songs awaken with the spheres
Alive.
Mighty songs that miss decay,
What are they?
Crowds and cities pass away
Like a day.
Books are out and books are read;
What are they?
Years will lay them with the dead-
Sigh, sigh;
Trifles unto nothing wed,
They die.
Dreamers, mark the honey bee;
Mark the tree
Where the blue cap “tootle tee”
Sings a glee
Sung to Adam and Eve
Here they be.
When floods covered every bough,
Noah’s ark
Heard that ballad singing now;
Hark, hark,
“Tootle tootle tootle tee” —
Can it be?
Pride and fame must shadows be?
Come and see—
Every reason her own;
Bird and bee
Sing creation’s music on;
Nature’s glee
Is in every mood and tone
Eternity.
