Prelude to War
02:19

Awakened...From the paralysis of death
Necro-alchemic rituals fuse decayed bone and tighten rotting flesh. Pumping Sour breath through pulsing esophagi.
As below...So beyond
The Shrieks of throats once long dead and flash of fires leap from the portal ahead, revealing a visceral hellscape never witnessed by mortal eyes. For all will die one thousand deaths and there will be no eternal peace, only infinite nightmare as souls resurrect, sinew and bone repurposed again and again.
The vengeful opener of the ways, returned to reclaim his throne as God of the Dead, callous for prayers of final rest, grants perpetual un-death.
This is...The Forever War

Forever War
03:17

Abhors above; Shedding their blood; The torment we love
Will last forever
Loathing we breed; Ending your seed; The violence decreed
Will last forever
Murderous lust; Dire and just; The total disgust
Will last forever
Hole in the sky; Heaven denied; The billions that died
Will last forever
War is the sentence, now that you’ve died
No heaven or angels now to confide
Tear through the earth, reborn from the grave
To infinite battle you are a slave
Obelisk gleams with power unseen
Combatants deployed, sent out through the beam
Sent to the front, the death grounds are deemed
Dimension between worlds, where darkness can breed
Abhors above; Shedding their blood; The torment we love
Will last forever
Loathing we breed; Ending your seed; The violence decreed
Will last forever
Murderous lust; Dire and just; The total disgust
Will last forever
Hole in the sky; Heaven denied; The billions that died
Will last forever
War is eternal, bloodshed it seeps
The cosmos renewed from these sanguine deeps
Savage and cruel, by this creed we rule
Tourney of despair, these lifelines unspool
Infinite combat, infinite deaths
Killing like instinct more innate than breath
Dozens to hundreds to thousands and more
Eons unbound of ineffable gore
Heralds of horror, the calling to war
Rejoice in the slaughter, Forever War
Purveyors and sadist, a calling to war
Rejoice in the slaughter, Forever War

The Outer Dark
03:12
|
|
||
|
Far beyond the realms of existence
Past the veil of cosmic domain
In the void, old gods do dwell
Forgotten and dormant remain
Fissures burrow through their conscious
Lost pathways to ruin you’ll find
From the depths of swirling chaos
Voices in lost tongues call to your mind
Beyond understanding of mortal minds
Devoid of laws of space and time
Scourge with existence from the outer dark
Relinquish your mind and carry the mark
Creeping madness that whispers your name
Visions of ancients as you go insane
Scourge with existence from the outer dark
Relinquish your mind and carry the mark
True creation, bred of the unborn
Dead but dreaming, the womb grows thin
Denying their sentence to slumber
Desire to be, grows from their kin
Breaking the doors of perception
Leaking the planes of forgotten despair
Look upon abysmal malevolence
Shedding sanity as your mind tears

Bloodgate

|
|

|
On this night full of sin
Haunting cold chills your skin
does your heart know the way
Through necropolis maze?
In the light of the moon
Let the void possess you
Life and death seem the same
When the dead call your name
I am the Bloodgate
I am the Bloodgate
I am the Bloodgate
Open the ways
I am the Bloodgate
I am the Bloodgate
I am the Bloodgate
Open the ways
Acosmic soul nexus
Necrotic synthesis
Dripping blood energy
Jackal god sets you free
In the light of the moon
Let the void possess you
Life and death seem the same
When the dead call your name

How Heavy the Hammer
02:57
|
|
||
|
A bleak sun hangs high
Above a world ground zero
Illuminating shadows
Frozen ghost of the unknown
The fire still rages
Scorched ground and poisoned earth
A future in shambles
World forgotten what it's worth
Hours drawing near;
The fear of all fears;
Manic lunacy;
How heavy the hammer must be
Cities are destroyed
Worlds quell beneath the blow
Felled and humbled
Field of men to be mowed
Fury from above
Summoned down for the attack
Once the hammers drawn
There’s no way of coming back
Armageddon’s here;
Planetcide revered;
Morbid eulogy;
How heavy the hammer must be

Strike of the Whip
03:45
|
|
||
|
A braid of leather
Breaking the speed of sound
The dread of torture
As the scourge is brought down
This clout of detest
Flayed, strap across your back
There is no escape
From this vicious attack
It's the crack of the whip
It's the strike of the whip
It's the lash of the whip
It's the bite of the whip
Chain and shackle bound
Struggled panic persists
Tears stream down your face
It's futile to resist
Agony subsides
Pleasure derived from pain
Wanton lust arise
Writhing impure in vain

Extermination Front
02:22
|
|
||
|
Timeless, Eternal, the shadow that stalks
Kingdoms lie crushed under heel
Formless yet tangent miasma of dread
Ripping and piercing the veil
Skeletal Visage, the Herald of hell
Fulfilling the oath with zeal
Thrown to the void by the rip of the blade
Through passage of death set sail
Threads of existence
Now frayed and torn
Into the chasm
Your soul is sworn
Realm of penance
Anguish dwells
Reign of torture
Circles of hell
Mortal bondsmen
Keeper of flesh
Masters command
Powers of death
Threads of existence
Now frayed and torn
Into the chasm
Your soul is sworn

Necrolith
04:02
|
|
||
|
Millenia gone by, eons, the past
Summoning force awakens
Beckoned to draw, like moth to flame
Hopeless; you live, conversed; forsaken
Goliath arise, precipice of might
Monument to our violence
From graves draw charge, sent forth to the fray
Soulless; you live, conversed; in silence
In flesh and bone evoked
In spell and blood awoke
Exult the Necrolith
Life led in hate, violence survives
Assembled for perdition
Cult of the fallen, now here convene
Restless; you live, conversed; attrition
Fell game of death, cursed genocide
Colossal god of warfare
Depart through stars, cold world of death
Dauntless; you live, conversed; in despair
Summon titan of death
Titans of bone gave breath
Exult the Necrolith
When they rise, the war begins
When they fall, they rise again

Ripping Void
02:30
|
|
||
|
Realm of carnage
Twisting spires and sanguine rain
Plane of viscera
Terraformed of fleshy terrain
World of bloodshed
Bloody flora quiver's and writhes
Slaughter domain
Final resting place of all life
Called forth to survive
No one leaves alive
From this final fight
Death shall set you free
Chief conflagrancy
Lust to be destroyed
Gore rendered and reamed
Savagery undreamed
Under fire light
War forevermore
Endless vigor
In the ripping void
Empire of strife
Armies of nation's uncounted
Sphere of suffrage
Hills of bodies surmounted
Kingdom of conflict
Legions lead the bloodshed
Siege dominion
World inhabited by the dead
|

10. |

Eons uncounted, millions of decades
Of war, strife and woe
Lineage assaulted, bloodlines uprooted
Death reaping what it's sewn
Crusade of malice, legion of violence
Campaign of loathing and pain
Boundless extinction, total cessation
Only the grave to gain
Unending death transpires
Extinguish the flame of life
Vicious contest of ire
Total existence in strife
The mortal coil unwinds
Throngs of the dead in excess
Succumb to the darkness that binds
In glamour of death possessed
Keepers of discard
Order dealt by knife
All life expired
Between the sickle and the scythe
War never ending, carnage is rending
Sinew torn from the bone
Mass grave is growing, Life-blood is flowing
Blood-tide washed up on stone
Leading the battle, slaughtered like cattle
Leaving the world a grave
Stillborn future, dissected and sutured
Accept your fate enslaved

Wicked blackened/thrash. A great holdover while waiting for their new album on Peaceville to come out.

Coagulating Darkness

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.
