lyrics

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. Bart

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
