Welcome, little children
At play among the tombs
A trail of treats will lead you
Into candy covered rooms
Granite pestles crush their tiny pelvises to dust
Smashing with unholy lust
You and your burnout friends
Were suckered by the witch's tale
Caves replete with the devil's leaf
And a map for sale
So, to the catacombs
With plunder as your goal
Stumble bums, trap door sprung,
You were knocked out cold
Welcome, lonely traveler
Engaged in self-abuse
Your love of iron maidens
Will be put to grisly use
Piercing shrieks of torture from behind a metal mask
Blood collects in oaken casks
You hear a muffled scream
Through a freshly mortared crypt
Slimy tendrils coat the walls
Where the coffin juices drip
A filthy denim vest
You find abandoned on the chamber floor
Mortal fear; your blood runs cold
At the sound of the creaking door
The screams of your friends echo from afar
Panicked, you race through the torch-lit halls
Into the abattoir
Kill! Kill! Kill!
You fall to your knees
In the human debris
And we chortle at your feeble cries
You kick and you scream
As you're dragged 'cross the floor
No mercy, no pity, you're destined to die
In our inner sanctum
Chained to the floor of a catacomb cell
In our inner sanctum
You will be wracked with the tortures of Hell
In our inner sanctum
Tears stream from your bloodshot eyes
In our inner sanctum
Die!
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. Odiumediae
never been a big death metal fan but this is actually super accessible for the genre, has fun concepts, and personally i'm always a fan of albums with short tracklists and huge runtimes (for individual songs) Great time, good jumping on point for newbies too. alienasu
