lyrics

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

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
