lyrics

Madness
Madness is a knife
Mayhem
Mayhem is a knife
Bedlam
Bedlam is a knife
Chaos
Chaos is a knife

The witching hour, mind racked with malaise
A culling power, rapt in sway and praise
The night is calling, the hunter now wakes
Exultation's rise, of terror and rage

Madness
Madness is a knife
Mayhem
Mayhem is a knife
Bedlam
Bedlam is a knife
Chaos
Chaos is a knife

Gleaming salvation, the blade my respite
In blind devotion, a steel praised zealot
Sanguine obsession, ichor surged possessed
Arterial lust, blood and steel repressed

To live your life by the steel
And to no god will you yield
Seeking sanctum in the night
Ripping discharge with a knife

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
