The whole Blast Tyrant album is the story of a corrupt king. you can hear it if you rearrange the the songs. Worm Drink was the evil king of an unnamed nation. When the people found out about his various, unspecified crimes, they rioted (The Mob Goes Wild). In order to keep the people on his side, he blamed all the crimes on his daughter, La Curandera, and planned a rigged trial (Notes From The Trial Of La Curandera). Before the trial took place, a mystic told La Curandera about what was going on and that she should flee the nation to avoid unfair punishment (Spleen Merchant). La Curandera returned to seek vengance on her father (The Regulator). she returned armed to the teeth & with a reputation of fear and respect on a ship named The Swollen Goat (In The Wake Of The Swollen Goat). I don't know how right this is but it was pitched to me back around '08 and i thought it was interesting and made sense. my only problem is i don't know where the other songs fit in.
