Fear Of The Unknown
02:51
|
|||
|
The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown.
- H.P.Lovecraft
Horrified - Terrorized
Petrified - scared stiff
Blood runs cold - scandalized
So appalling- filled with fright
Incomprehensible!
Unfathomable!
Inscrutable - abstruse
Mystified - totally obscure
Esoteric - enigmatic
So cryptic - secret cults!
Raaage! Ugh!
We all fear what we don’t
Understand
It’s the fear of the unknown!
Fear of the unknown!
Fear of the unknown!
The fear we all fear is the oldest
Of all fears
It’s the fear of the unknown!
Utter dismay - revolting disgust
So sickened- scared shitless
Panic stricken - completely spooked
Nauseating - totally shocked!
Incomprehensible!
Unfathomable!
Fear of the unknown - fear of fears
Fear of the unknown!
Fear of the unknown - fear of it all
Fear of the unknown!

Rituals Of The Abyss
03:54
|
|||
|
The process of delving into the black abyss is to me the keenest form of fascination.
- H.P. Lovecraft
Hey! (Chant)
In the land of shadows, where horrors come alive,
Beyond demonic realms - where nightmares reside,
Unearthly whispers recite - the occult divide.
Thru the dimensional passages - out of space and time!
Eyes wide open, but darkness blinds the soul,
Lovecraftian horrors, consuming as they unfold,
Lost in the void of a macabre cosmic play
Where wretched creatures reveal in deranged ballet.
Eldritch symphonies - echo in the black skies,
Rituals of the abyss, unleashing eternal night.
Hear the ancient chants, summoning the ancient ones,
Their slithering descent, sacrificing has begun
Eons of despair whisper through broken tombs,
A cataclysmic dance, sealing woeful dooms.
Fingers of darkness clutching hearts so frail,
The Lovecraftian rite, where sanity will fail,
The weight of our anguish, a metaphor for despair,
As we drown in an ocean in Cthulhu’s nightmare
Supernatural forces - awaken with infernal might,
Rituals of the abyss, unleashing eternal night.
Hey! (Chant)

Ensnarers Within
02:50
|
|||
|
Oh, what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive!
• Sir Walter Scott.
Beware those among the shadows
Behold they who wait and lie
To enter the inviting vestibule trap
Is surely the way to die
Beware the wreckers of havoc
Behold those who cause strife
The servants of discord lurk
In the dark - awaiting to - strike!
Beware the ensnarers within
Behold their spidery lair
Like slender arachnid creatures
That only bring despair
Mind the ensnarers within
That spin their webs of deceit
Entangle you with deception
Upon your soul they - feast!
Ensnarers within - once they now take hold
Feel their poison bite You’ll succumb to their control!
Beware those in the chaos
The Danglers in the mist
Like puppets on a string they pull
You’ll writhe and you’ll twist
Beware the devourers of sorrow
They who cast disdain
Once they attach themselves to you
All you’ll feel is - pain!
Beware the ensnarers within
They’re sure to suck you dry
Take everything from you
Leave you mummified
Avoid the ensnarers within
Those with the blackest heart
If you get to close to them
They’re sure to tear you apart!!

Death May Die
02:02
|
|||
|
That is not dead which can eternal lie,
And with strange aeons even death may die.
• H.P. Lovecraft
Buried below - the Ocean Deep
In the place where - a dead god sleeps
Upon the throne - of a usurped king
Lay the remains - of this cosmic being
From beyond the cosmic gate
Out of a hellish-nightmare landscape
Across the stars where planets aligned
Alien fiend out of space and time
Even Death May Die! (Chant)
That is not dead - which can eternal lie
And after strange aeons - even death may die!
That thing - which does not die
For millions of years - lay still alive
In a state of - suspended animation
Awaits the call - for regeneration
Dreaming god In lucidity’s womb
Reborn again under a gibbous moon
Great Cthulhu out of R’lyeh rise
Defying death with immortal rites
Even Death May Die! (Chant)
That is not dead - which can eternal lie
And after strange aeons - even death may die!

The Colour Out Of Space
04:30
|
|||
|
It was just a colour out of space—a frightful messenger from unformed realms of infinity beyond all Nature as we know it; from realms whose mere existence stuns the brain and numbs us with the black extra-cosmic gulfs it throws open before our frenzied eyes.
• H.P. Lovecraft (The Colour Out of Space)
What is the shunned place
This area everyone fears?
What lays beyond the hills
In the dreaded blasted heath?
Where the meteor crash landed
Everything becomes grey and dust
All Because -
THE COLOUR OUT OF SPACE!
THE COLOUR OUT OF SPACE!
THE COLOUR OUT OF SPACE!
THE COLOUR OUT OF SPACE!
Where the world becomes madness
And all shall become such waste
Due to -
THE COLOUR OUT OF SPACE!
THE COLOUR OUT OF SPACE!
THE COLOUR OUT OF SPACE!
THE COLOUR OUT OF SPACE!
The colour out of space
Consumes everything alive
The colour out of space
Nothing here shall survive!
What is this unknown thing
This alien abomination
From where does it come
What purpose does it hold?
Where the land becomes corrupted
And mutations begin to grow
All since -
THE COLOUR OUT OF SPACE!
THE COLOUR OUT OF SPACE!
THE COLOUR OUT OF SPACE!
THE COLOUR OUT OF SPACE!
Where death now seems to dwell
And only skeletons remain
As a result of -
THE COLOUR OUT OF SPACE!
THE COLOUR OUT OF SPACE!
THE COLOUR OUT OF SPACE!
THE COLOUR OUT OF SPACE!

Live loathed and long,
Most smiling, smooth, detested parasites…
• William Shakespeare
Conspiring at the edge of madness
Dwelling in the depths below
Out of the Gloom beyond the barrier
As the Book of Eibon foretold
Devourer of souls
Parasite Demons
Upon you they shall feed
In the lair of
Legacy leeches
It’s your life they need
They who walk the in-between
Beneath the world we see
Just within the corner of the eye
Hidden in the dark valley
Devourer of souls
Parasite Demons
Upon you they feed
In the lair of
Legacy leeches
It’s your life they need
They are nothing without you
On you they attach
Because they have no ideas of their own
it’s you they attack!
Those foul things amidst the shadows
They come from beyond the veil
Existing upon the lives they drain
By sucking the breath they steal
Devourer of souls
Parasite Demons
Upon you they feed
In the lair of
Legacy leeches
It’s your life they need
Those who crawl within the filth
Their world is full of shit
They can’t even see themselves
Blinded by their hubris
Devourer of souls
Parasite Demons
Upon you they feed
In the lair of
Legacy leeches
It’s your life they need!
Heed the Legacy Leeches
They have no life of their own
Beware the Legacy Leeches
It’s your life they’ll clone!
Your life they clone!
Behold the Legacy Leeches
It’s so unreal
Pathetic Legacy Leeches
It’s your life they steal!
Your life they steal!
Know these Legacy Leeches
These scum of the earth
Fucking Legacy Leeches
In the mist they lurk!!
Those who crawl within the filth
Their world is full of shit
They can’t even see themselves
Blinded by their hubris

Unnameable things have come to us in alien horror and will come again. And the evil of the stars is not as the evil of earth.
• Clark Ashton Smith
Disturbed from their ancient slumber
Awakened from their black embrace
Cursed to walk among us once more
To possess the souls of the living
From the book they’re summoned
The passages recited out loud
Corruption of flesh is their mission
As essence devoured unbound
By command of the eater of spirits
Into this world by transference
Respawned to complete their goals
By command of the Taker of Souls
The things that were and shall be again
first chosen in this realm to exist
-Heeey!-
fallen order forever condemned
The Evil Dead…
Stirred from their entombed sleep
Resurrected by the spell of summoning
Set forth upon the earth to destroy
To come forth and devour the living
The gate has now been opened
By dark necromantic means
Let loose into the world once more
To hear their horrific screams!
By the mastery of ancient decree
They shall infect the living with disease
To rotten their bodies and decay the flesh
And to give the living a horrific death!
The things that were and shall be again
The first chosen in this realm to exist
-Heeey!-
The fallen order forever condemned
The evil dead!
The things that were - and shall be again
It’s the Return - of the army of the dead!
The things that were and shall be again
They have returned to usher in the end
-Heeeey!-
Possess the living their flesh to rend
The evil dead!

Dead-Life: ReAnimator

Who's going to believe a talking head? Get a job in a sideshow. - Jeffrey Combs as Herbert West: Herbert West/ Re-Animator 1985
Dead - Life!
Dead - Life!
Dead - Life!
Dead - Life!
Down below in his basement lab, reconstructing body parts
Bringing twisted life - to a lifeless corpse
Piecing together the broken, as abominable as it seems
With his resurrection solution, a twisted science dream
Herbert West Reanimator
With his twisted creations
Bringing life to the dead, with macabre regenerations
In his laboratory of death, a mad scientist's delight
Reconstruction of the dead, on a horror filled night
Reanimator - Rejuvenator
Regenerated - death Reintegrated!
Verse 2:
The cadavers come alive, a sight of terror and dread
The dead walk among us, even a reanimated head
The morgue is filled with screams, a chorus of the damned
The dead are now alive, a nightmare in command!
Herbert West Reanimator
The end justifies the means
To prove that death is not the end
This ghastly morbid scene
Miskatonic university, a campus of horror and gore
Head down these Corridors thru the lych-house doors
Reanimator - Rejuvenator
Regenerated - Death Reintegrated!
Dead - Life!
Dead - Life!
Dead - Life!
Dead - Life!

… he was never burried. She kept him alive! He's here somewhere in this castle. - Jeffrey Combs as John Reilly: Castle Freak
Within this fortress depths
Beyond the decaying cobwebs
Down these haunted halls
Behind these dilapidated walls
Aaarrrgghh!
That’s where you’ll hear it scream
Aaarrrgghh!
An Unholy nightmarish being
Aaarrrgghh!
The unnameable hideous fiend
Aaarrrgghh!
An outsider it does seem
Hey! - Hey! - Hey! - I said fucking Hey!
Aaaarrrggghhh!
Shriek of the castle freak!

From out of crypts it creeps
Aaarrrgghh!
Out of the dark it leaps
Aaarrrgghh!
with such an incredible speed
Aaaarrrggghhh!
Upon you it will feed!
Behold the horrible shriek
From the insidious castle freak
Upon it’s blood rancid breath
The last thing heard - before your death!
Solo
Can you hear the horrible shriek
From the insidious castle freak
It’s abominable wretched howls
Echoing from out of the bowels!
Hey! - Hey! - Hey! - I said mother fucking Hey!
Aaaarrrggghhh!
Shriek of the Castle Freak!
Shriek of the Castle Freak!
Shriek of the Castle Freak!

Curse Of The Resonator
04:03
|

|
I have always believed that such strange, inaccessible worlds exist at our very elbows, and now I believe I have found a way to break down the barriers.
• H.P. Lovecraft ( From Beyond)
“Humans are such easy prey!”
Open once more the realm of madness
Far beyond insanity’s gate
Emerging again from the shadows
To discharge mankind’s dark fate!
Eldritch horrors are all around
Brought into existence by vibration sound
Into our spectrum of reality
Thru this device allows us to see!
This is the curse of the resonator
The Curse From Beyond!
Ia! Ia! Ia! Yog Sothoth!
Ia! Ia! Ia! Yog Sothoth!
The curse - the curse - the curse of the resonator
Ia! Ia! Ia! Yog Sothoth!
The curse - the curse - the curse From Beyond!
Ia! Ia! Ia! Yog Sothoth!
This - is - the - curse of the resonator!
Beware - the - curse of the resonator!
This - is - the - curse of the resonator!
From Beyond - the resonator!
Thru the visions of the third eye
It stimulates the pineal gland
By sexual arousal and deviant thoughts
Subconsciously taking - command!
Eldritch horrors are all around
Brought into existence by vibration sound
Into our spectrum of reality
Thru this device allows us to see!
This is the curse of the resonator
The Curse From Beyond!
Curse of the - resonator!
Back from - beyond!
Curse of the - resonator!

Horrors Of Hidden Truth
03:58
|
|||
|
Horrors, I believe, should be original--the use of common myths and legends being a weakening influence.
• H.P. Lovecraft
Within the fiction of a lone recluse
Behold the horrors of the hidden truth
Said to come in prophetic dreams
Written as tales to make one scream
See the fragments of a splintered mind
Know the agony beyond space and time
Hear the disembodied voices call
Eldritch symphonies of the fall!
Within weird tales of an ascetic man
Behold the myths where terror began
Beyond the cosmos and the realm of dreams
Scribed as fiction & cryptic themes!
Humanities end is preordained
By he who is eternally insane
The madness of the cosmic core
Retold through Lovecraftian lore
Horrors of the hidden truth
Horrors of the hidden truth!
Clandestine activities
A cult of secrecy
From the dawn of time
Old God Worshipping
Beneath the in-between
This crawling chaos
Shall guide mankind
To the end of everything!
See the fragments of a splintered mind
Know the agony beyond space and time
Hear the disembodied voices call
Eldritch symphonies of the fall!

Shroud Of Shadows
02:56

Ritual is the passage way of the soul into the Infinite.
• Algernon Blackwood
In the depths of night, evil now takes control
Haunter of the dark beyond the threshold
Lovecraftian horrors, lurking in the depths
Eldritch terrors, reaping souls of death!
Unholy darkness, consuming my mind
The occult whispering secrets I can't find
In the darkest corners, fear starts to crescendo
Unveiling horrors thru times window!
Bathed in moonlight, hail the ancient ones
Within the Shroud of shadows, rituals have begun!
Rituals have begun!
Rituals have begun!
Rituals have begun!
Rituals have begun!
Sacrilegious rites recited beneath the moon
Bound by promises, sealed by cursed runes
We dance with insanity, possessed by wicked might
Raising Hellish frenzy, embracing the dark night!
The veil between worlds shatters, unleashing cosmic dread
Sanity withers, all reason becomes thread
Through the blackened abyss, I am forever lost
In nightmares crafted, by Old Ones' dreadful cost
Bathed in moonlight, hail the ancient ones
Within the Shroud of shadows, rituals have begun!

The final hour when we cease to exist does not itself bring death; it merely of itself completes the death-process. We reach death at that moment, but we have been a long time on the way.
Seneca the Younger
You’re too late to stop the summoning
The cryptic cult has now opened the gate
Thru a loathsome rite from the ancient text
To set loose horrors upon the earth
hordes of terror come out of the void
From beyond the realm of reality
Tearing thru time and outer space
Usher in madness and insanity
The Final Hour - the Final Hour
Their howls and screams echo into the night
As unnameable creatures now come alive
Something from out of a nightmarish hell
Out of the rift between two worlds
In Arkham Horror this seems to be the way
An Eldritch prophecy preordained
Some anti-diluvian monstrous things
Seeking the demise of all human beings
The Final Hour - the Final Hour
In every scenario it’s all the same
A deadly text read by the deranged
A misanthropic desire to end it all
The final hour before we fall!
Miskatonic U - ground zero for death
But somewhere near the answers lie
To reverse this curse and close the gate
All in time - before we die
The Final Hour - the Final Hour!

Beyond The Macabre
by PAGANIZER
supported by 70 fans who also own “Necrolution”
One of the OSDM in Sweden that clearly kept the "American" (i.e. Obituary) style flame alive, to be very clear that this ain't the classic Swedish melodeath. FFO Grave, Dismember, Vomitory, Demonical, etc. While waiting for the newest album to drop, I am really enjoying the memorable riffs that PAGANIZER offered in this opus. It's OSDM that is fun to listen to!

Crushing Swedish death metal with a gritty old school sound. Throwing in a absolute myriad of riffs, with small bits of angular tones and black metal mindfulness amongst the chainsaw and banging death metal rippers filled with carnage.
