Much of 2001-3 was spent on “The Dragon Experience” as well as filling the drummer role on ohGr’s tour. Then came the Skinny Puppy album, “The Greater Wrong of The Right” as well as the Vault series; releases of previously-unheard material from his various projects available through subCON. Some albums included in the series were Skinny Puppy’s “Puppy Gristle”, Download’s “III Steps Forward”, “ Inception : The Subconscious Jams 1994 - 1995”, The Tear Garden’s “eye Spy With My Little Eye”, PlatEAU’s “Iceolater”, & Hilt’s “The Worst of the Flu 1985-1989.” Most recently from subCON, series 2 from the vAult bundle included bonus releases such as Skinny Puppy’s “Back & Forth Vol. 7”, Download’s “FiXeR”, & Plateau’s “Kushbush.”
cEvin has said he is currently working on new Puppy material, LP #3 for SPV, which includes "some extreme forms of heavy" with 3 pieces handed over to 'Hiwatt' Marshall along with 19 pieces of "Scaremeister" (a project / nickname given to cEvin after meeting Schwarzenegger on the "End of Days" set.) Otto Von Schirach joins the Scaremeister project in collaboration, which is now in full swing with 'Hiwatt'.
Another new vAult series, which came out in late 2009, includes new releases from Download, PlatEAU, The Tear Garden, Bananasloth, Djoto, Otto Von Schirach, & Sonic Death Monkey / Basek.

Frozen Sky
cEVIN Key Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
[blinding madness]
...
could i rot, if life gave out?
could i rot, if life gave out?
reach at a high, altitude is on fire
red again, read a lie
i'm seeing it
i am seeing it
aimed at his side
cut across to divide
up and down, what inside?
hold on to a lie
you believe in it
you believe in it
between a near
somewhere over there
when i do try and fight
can't recollect the evil deed
sure wear those clothes
i'm washing out the blood i know
more tomorrow, our deafened lies
look toward a frozen sky
frozen sky
The lyrics of cEVIN Key's "Frozen Sky" carry an underlying theme of inner turmoil and mental distress. The repeated phrase "could I rot, if life gave out?" is particularly telling of a longing for an end to suffering, perhaps symbolizing a desire for death or escape from reality. The lines "reach at a high, altitude is on fire" and "everyone is on fires" paint a picture of chaos and destruction, further emphasizing the overwhelming sense of despair. The singer struggles with acknowledging their own immoral actions ("can't recollect the evil deed"), further fueling their internal conflict. In the final lines, "more tomorrow, our deafened lies, look toward a frozen sky," the singer seems resigned to their fate and accepts their inability to change their circumstances.
Overall, "Frozen Sky" features themes of mental anguish, inner conflict, and a desire for escape from reality. The repeated questioning of morality and the intense imagery of chaos and destruction contribute to the song's ominous and unsettling tone.
