lyrics

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

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
