Deicide
03:54
|
|||
|
Laws of oppression and malevolence
Kingdom of malice against the dissents
Ignorance, bigotry, conformity
Spreading like pestilence
Violent revolt against the light
Laying to ruin the empire of Christ
cursing his name, spoken in vain
Strengthens the secular blight
Destroy your god
The scripture drowns in his ichor dripping red
Count the days until the tyrant dies
Deicide
Conjuring rapture, invoking destruction
Institutionalized mass segregation
Watching from their holy palaces
Dismay through consensual oppression
Burn their altars
Silence their prayers
Black out the lies they’ve been pushing for years
Smash their hierarchies, slay all the masters
End the oppression by fear

Husk

Leave me a husk
The poison’s spread, barely clinging to life
Collapsing, wasted and sick
Spineless, weak, cynical and blind
This burning ivy devours me
I can’t escape this, Can’t tear through my own flesh
Been trying to find some way out
But the weight has crushed my bones to shards
The blood running through me has grown so thin
Frantically pushed by the exploding rhythm of my heart
This ideal form envisioned mocks this putrid pile of meat
Leading me with little tastes of strength that I could have
The years of struggling have enlightened and hardened me
But as the light expands, so extends the shadow’s edge
The venom’s spread to god knows where.
Is it even fatal? Am I really gone?
Tearing out piece by piece
Blood and guts pour out from me
Digging deep, finally
Through evisceration I can be free
I’m trapped inside this mockery I falsely call myself
A shell identified only by self infliction
Scars formed by impulsivity I now parade in shame
This venom is the cure
This sickness is evolution
I can’t force this out of me- I need to let this pass
Even if I think it’ll kill this is what I need to be

Hell

Hiding inviting shadows line these walls
Narcissistic whispers out of somewhere
Subliminal cynicism of others, sewing doubt in myself
Fearing they should find me too I hide among the shadowed corners
In a world of us versus them, I dare not be them
Silhouettes are traced, but faces are never revealed
The whispers are deafening, but never seek me out
Paranoia growing as the gazes pierce
my mind dissociating from myself,
forcing me in line
Panicking for my sanity I join the chorus
Dehumanizing crushing us all
Into a shapeless nameless mold
A form of sadistic control from the insecure
Sewing spite among us all and stripping the life from our bones
Lost in the void
Phantoms pull me further away
I can’t escape
This is where I die
Burn this fucking place
And the constant chambered words of those who
Seek fulfillment through subjugation
and exploitation
I will never be one of you
Weakened by time, lost in the shadows
A pause through the whispers, a lapse in the darkness
My mind is clear, Seeing the light down the hall
Escaping the corridors of silent screams
My heart still beats fucking loud in spite of you
Our names still hold weight in spite of you
We stand in comradery in spite of you
Smashing false idols to ruins in spite of
All of the warnings, and if I should fail
My dying words will be your curse

The Great Antagonist
06:05
|
|||
|
Bring down the sky
The laws and the creed
Tampered since the beginning for a ruling minority
Leaving us with only the illusion of
Influence
They tell us we matter
They feed us the scraps in exchange for civility
Breeding contempt for those who
Dare to oppose
From your gilded cages
You’ve blinded yourselves to the suffering of the oppressed
Ignore and ridicule the horded
Calls of rebellion
It’s too late for peace
When the cries of reform are easily silenced
The only outcome is war
The life of the world rests in the hands of one
A man of gold; a petulant product of greed and power
Culling the hateful masses from their fringed, shadowed corners
Merely a product of confused and divided masses
A singular power to fight against
Such a blissful fantasy
Easy to imagine the Great Antagonist as one
Ignoring ambivalence of systematic chaos
It’s reckless and short-sighted; It’s blind to what it tramples
Just as unaware of its own actions as of ours
All we can do is wait for its self defeating nature
To devour itself hoping to be spared from the fallout
And when it crumbles, weakened and exposed
The survivors and the oppressed will stomp out the final fires
Start again, fighting through a new age of darkness
Desperately hoping not to breed the same deadly mistakes
Let them eat the ground from under their feet
Let them see themselves for what they really are
Let it curb its hunger by devouring its own limbs
Let it fall; Let it die; Let it crumble; Let it burn

Bleed all the Nazi drones!
Serving the whims of warmongering fascists
Fuck all who sympathize!
No pity or mercy for racist fucking scum
Inbred human disasters claiming master race
Spouting dead words from dead men shamed into obscurity
It’s all a fucking poison waiting to be expunged
White pride’s a fucking lie
You’re ancestor’s blood stains not on your hands
There’s no pride in what you’ve done!
You’re fighting a war you already lost!
Extinguish the black sun!

World Of Ruin
05:18
|

|
The agonizing screams compose a beautiful melody
My laughter echos through, joining in through harmony
To this I’m dancing mad; Singing to nihilistic preachings
A darker time begs for me to lead the way
(Insane)
I scream through endless skies
An echo of the ancient ways as all order dies
(New world)
A world of ruin wakes
Through ancient powers grant thine form; this deity of hate
In final days of god
In final days of law
In final days of morality; of sanity
We’ll embrace the darkest age
We’ll welcome the shadowed days
We’ll celebrate death, the loss of mind
As chaos reigns supreme
As you all drink the poison I spread throughout your land
I cackle at the losses; kingdoms crushed by my black hand
I rape the innocence of this world as I introduce world wide chaos
Thine hatred bleeds into law
It’s all so right: This world I’ve given you
DRENCHED in blackened contempt
Light of judgment, burn this Wretched world
Re-shapen lands; Chaotic erosion
Why rebuild knowing destruction is inevitable?
Why crave life knowing everything must die?
Why indulge in humanism when war is primal urge?
A universal whisper speaks the answer we fear to much to heed:
Hope is lost
Embrace the madness embrace oblivion
Let insanity assume your being

Wealth
Kings
Destructive hierarchies poison to humankind
We
Drown
Billions suffer so few may thrive
Let it burn, the rulers say as they ascend
A tower constructed from the bones of a world
Left in ruins amidst the mass extinction
They enabled to sustain the putrid song of their exorbitant parade
Light
Grows
Embers glow among the ashes
Flames
Rise
Consuming the world’s nations and idols
We’re re-conditioned to submit and serve
Remain complacent, repress any doubt
This isn’t nature, it can be reversed
It has to happen, we can find autonomy again
As our flag flies black
So will the clouds darken over their eyes
As the kings turn their backs
We’ll drive our knives through their fucking spines
Power reserved for a minor elite
Cannot be sustained for long
We’ll outnumber them. We’ll surround them
This world they’ve ruined will be ours to rebuild
By fire devour
Relinquish their power
This is their last hour
We’ll shatter their empire

Writhing in pain
The shock of loss, consuming, feels so unreal
I hold you, a still warm stiff shell, no longer with what was once you
In life you served as the brightest point of light on a tapestry of black
In death, the memories, they sting; reminders of what can never be again
I wish... I need to go back and make this all right
Too late... All gone... Nothing is left... Never coming back
If I had known that the last time would be the last time
Would that have made this a little more bearable?
I could have stopped this. I could have seen the signs
I wish to steal this world from the careless hands of god
The shock subsides and numbness clouds my way
I stand to walk again, but I’m blind by light of day
What first made me stay strong now slowly drowns my mind
I thought I’d shatter; instead I slowly crumble over time
So fragile we all are; this world’s now made of glass
Always under the looming shadow of tragedy
It tortures me now, more than ever before:
All we loved and shared is all there’ll ever be

Coagulating Darkness
by Hellripper
supported by 8 fans who also own “Secular Blight”
Pretty much the best Black/Speed Metal I've listened to since I learned about Evil Invaders and Vulture. Everything you'd love to be reminded of about this musical era is there. The influences are what you'd expect too: Motörhead, Venom, Bathory, early Slayer, Celtic Frost; aggressive vocals, tortured guitar solos, pounding drums; everything is fast, clear and still a little grimy, but without reverb cranked up to the max. Amazing band, amazing album.
