    Amatoxis is the brain child of Vlady Voz Tokk (production), who is joined on Hydra-Cephalos by co-writing core members Mag Ne Ta Z'air (vocals), Jane Cogger (vocals), and Vid Linger (guitar, synth) with additional contributions from Joey Sledge (modular synth) and Tail Lore (vocals).
    Voz and Mag were founders of seminal Brooklyn performance art and noise collective Wild Torus and the underground venue Torus Porta, which had hosted early career showings by such artists as Eartheater, Plack Blague and Machine Girl in its brief Bushwick tenure. Jane and Voz performed together in MadonnaWhore and Vid is a veteran of bands Alien Father and Knights Templar. Additional collaborators Joey and Tail perform solo as YouDon’tLikeIt and MILL respectively. Inspired by NYC's robust music history, Amatoxis makes songs about personal psychological perspectives and humanity’s complications, along with ruminations on universal themes such as love and money. With wide ranging influences from John Carpenter to Aleister Crowley to Siouxsie Sioux, Amatoxis’s art rock marries the psychedelic doom symphony of Wild Torus and MadonnaWhore’s dreamy darkwave stylings, adding innovative guitar work and an upbeat pop sensibility to the mix. Much like a mysterious mushroom that rises from the wet earth after a storm, Amatoxis has emerged with a deeply developed distinctive “disco goth grunge” sound. Both delicious and disturbing, their debut album Hydra-Cephalos has the capacity to bend the mind in directions never before imagined.

Taking up my territory shaking up is mandatory Here I come to bless you the one I put the X through How did your ego get so big I want to destroy you but your shit is lit I could always write a love story but would it make all the people horny Sent up high above to preach a new gospel for the world to teach your beauty can make angels weep but will your heart be mine to keep I want to love you but it’s not easy I fall for it Kiss but will you listen to me Pace but then you hasten to be Harsh in word and fast to action never know true satisfaction When you try to put me down I see you as a fucking clown

Lil Toddler 03:49
She’s Walking on the hillside Wants to see some plant life She wants to go to the carnival We can to find a fun stall She's not a child Or a little baby Lets reconsider What we’ve been thinking lately she’s just a little toddler wants everyone to coddle her that’s why we’re gonna murder her self love never heard of her Snow White’s a sleepin Waiting to be awakened Why can’t she get up? It doesn’t make sense All of these princesses Are very helpless So we should just help them Get out of bed

The Dime 03:56
You’re taking space inside my head You’re taking space inside my bed Always casting a faraway dream Wish things were as you make them seem The way you speak, entrance us all You were the peak, now we’re in the fall In a world of linear time You be the bag I’ll be the dime We had more effect than we could know Never a sucker but you will blow I’m waiting here out on the edge Just give me the signal and I’ll dredge Fruitless efforts always on repeat Change your ways or we’ll never meet Just another of your dirty habits Dogs forever chasing all the rabbits When it’s messy it is not a ritual You’re sexy but not quite the chemical Gaps in your words and between your eyes Maps in the way that you say goodbye

Yes, I’m thinking Thinking about him But I recognize The self who Has just done something horrible Like a sister I’ve casually met on the street Hello, sister! It’s like there’s two sisters Of Faith and Chance My Faith can’t exclude Chance But my chance Can’t explain Faith My faith didn’t allow me To wait for Chance And Chance didn’t give me enough Faith And then I read that private life is a stage Only I’m playing many parts That are smaller than me And yet I still play them I suffer, I believe, I am! But at the same time, I know there’s a third possibility Like cancer or madness But cancer and madness Contort reality The possibility I’m talking about Pierces reality I’m unable to say it Maybe It’s impossible to say Or maybe I’m too stupid You’re looking to me As if to tell me That I need you to fill me up As if I’m an empty space Well I love you too, But what makes me go on Is to know he’ll return And I’ll make him suffer And I’ll hurt him I’m betraying him But this brings me small rewards Well, but yet I can’t exist by myself Because I’m afraid of myself Because I’m the maker of my own evil! Goodness is only some kind of Reflection upon evil That’s all it is

Rampage 04:58
Get outta my way I’m on a rampage If you’ve got nothing to wage Go hide in a cage You’ve got a bad attitude You’re being so rude I can’t stand this feud It’s killing my my mood My throat is killing me from all the screaming Why don’t ya get out of my face So I can have some pace The horse has been beat It’s boiling in the heat The flies are buzzin around It’s all meaningless sound When we get together It becomes bad weather Everyone so jacked up Yup yup yup yup yup If you’d only settle down We could go out on the town And I run this city round and round

Dirty Money 05:36
Dirty Money It’s a riot Wash it clean the world runs on money The money drives the people The people buy and sell Doers get more done Everybody does it Gotta make the paper Workin’ round the clock Workin’ round the clock The money makes the world go round Bitcoin, shitcoin, NFTs, Dogecoin, Ethereum Give it to me Wastin’ electricities Power up the marketplace In the phone and in your face Everybody clap your hands For the democratic lands Bangkok, Tokyo, Budapest In the gut and in the chest Everybody feel the urge To consume, then binge and purge Ever since the dawn of time People try to make a dime Now the money’s in the air Imaginary share Who gets rich and who stays poor Not everyone can score Scratching the cement, biting through the rails Losing all our time losing all our sense It’s a pyramid

Sexx Witch 04:00
Out of sight out of mind can't waste time I feel so blind I want to unwind But I’m stuck in a bind I used to wake up afraid now there's a deal to be made all day holding my breath tomorrow we'll do it to death be making up an escape pushed to the edge of a plate taking my turn out of place I'm going to throw the race it's a hot flash so give up the cash you're headed for a crash but you say you're blessed you're always out of line and your class is trash better get behind learn to earn that ass The beauty is devastating Kiss the ground and thank me Sex witch

There’s nothing Like the present There’s nothing Like the Here and Now There's nothing’s Like the real thing baby Cuz nothing Beats the real thing baby If only you’d come close to me I could feel alive I could feel free Invisible Frequencies And color abound Invisible to you and me But all around She spoke too soon Under the malachite moon Tongue twistin’ Anal fisting We walked towards the water Hand in hand Our shadows stretched Across the land Starlight shines In your eyes Carnal urges Press against my Pelvic Floor Death doulas Coax us Into the next realm Out of the funeral parlor And into the light
