Blood red paints the nights sky
Corpses pile up below
The four horsemen in every corner
The depths that mankind goes
There is no heaven here
They left a long time ago
Empires of blood cascade
Into the mouths of wolves
North of the chasm, beyond the graves
Vultures descend with towering hate
You have been bound, growth in decay
They’ll send us to hell and make their escape
Decaying in a concrete prison
Evil inside has arisen, he has chosen
Arid barren cold
Humanity erodes
Maggot and rat infested
Oh, the depths you’ll go
Towers disintegrate
All what’s made will fail
Bodies spray on the castle walls
Flesh rot stinks below
North of the chasm, beyond the graves
Vultures descend with towering hate

Heinous evil devoid of time
Calling your name, it beckons you
The doors open, whispering wind
Your soul is poisoned eternally
Scratching the walls, your fingers break
Mental spoilage, the curses spread
Chaos growing to violent ends
Bloody husk of humanity
Beware the growing dread
Mob hysteria
Awaken the dark of night
Spirits arise for their feeding
The stranger who follows you
The cursed, conjuring the plague storm
Spirits arise
Empty their guts, kill them
Blow your brains out
Entomb us all

VALLEY OF THE SEPULCHRE

Desolation
Stench erodes
Brain dead hellbent
Death to all
Hear the screams
Cesspool of failure
Shattered like broken glass and
Punctured and scabbed and rotten
Abuse obscene
Enter the charnel palace walls
Desolation
Stench erodes
Brain dead hellbent
Death to all
Sepulchre
Death is here

NUCLEAR WINTER SPELL
03:39

|

I have crashed on a distant world unknown
I feel my insides freeze from oppressive cold
Cryopathy, gangrene
War of attrition against all earthly life forms
Hostile winter
Hellscape
Bloody tundra
Storms ablaze
Something lurks behind mountains to the east
Macabre creatures have been watching me for days
Soldiers forge their swords
Sharpen my blade for the battle yet to come
Hostile winter
Hellscape
Bloody tundra
Storms ablaze
Demons roam, spectres dwell all around you
NUCLEAR WINTER SPELL
Worlds have fallen, I have slain them all
I will swing my sabre until every creature falls
Every creature falls
Eons and eons of vanquishing foes
My bravest enemies will burn
And I’ll leave their ashes staining the snow
Dead in the cold

DEAD STAG

Lost in the trees trapped where no one goes all alone
Wandering for days, certain there’s no way home, they will come
Dead stag’s stare
Void infernal
Into witch’s snare
Hallucinate, dirt and the trees will bleed, watching me
Vomit the soul, forest roots have taken hold, no control
Satanic initiate, the demon’s spore inseminates
Black magic sorcery, your flesh will host our deity
Lay down, give in
All rise for him
Hell’s cursed lord is born
Malignant spawn arisen
Coven, behold!
The infernal viridian

OVERTHROWN

When the darkness shines on all that lay below
When the moon is black and turned against the world
We will surround, suffocate their ranks
We’ll salt their earth and destroy all means
Apotheosis of war, terror reigning down
We’ll pillage the lands; we’ll take what is owed
The empire will fall, they will bow before me
This world is mine for me to take
Apotheosis of war
Tales of my wrath have spread across the land
Thousands will fight but they will all die by my hand
Cut their resources, die within
I feel their cities bleed from inside my fist
Apotheosis of war, terror reigning down
We’ll pillage the lands; we’ll take what is owed
The empire will fall, they will bow before me
This world is mine for me to take
Your gods and idols will go down in flames
The sword to your head it will carry my name
From the blade to the grave
I can never be conquered, I won’t be replaced
On we go, to conquer and rule
Overthrown
Honour, until the day that I die

HILL OF THE CROSS

The highest of graves, the hill of the cross
I’ll raid this tomb, uncover what’s lost
Cursed breath, awakening
Marked one and buried you’ll be
The resurrection, the crack of earth
The second coming of all dead and in between
We’re all dead
Head from the hills, evade the tombs
The trail of cold will follow you home
The blood will flow and it never ceases
I call upon you, army of the undead
Fools run home
They await you
Ready to take
Take you down
|

Masses, come join us and become angels incarnate
Prophets will drag you to heaven in bags and pieces
Cessation, to higher plains we go
Sever life, cuts you from my rope
Casts you down below
My empty soul reeks of hate
Lifeless, await your fate
I cast down red
Bring the slaughter
Spill the blood
Cessation, to higher plains we go
Sever life
Embrace the eternal slumber
Face your final throes
Embrace
Cessation, to higher plains we go
Sever life
Embrace the eternal slumber
Face your final throes
Embrace

ONWARD TO OBLIVION
07:16
|
|

My goal is achieved, my life’s work complete
I will depart never again to be seen
Abandon time, eternal life, onward to oblivion
The cross-realm throne, the cosmic machine
I will behold what’s never been seen
Fossil the mind, frozen the heart, entomb the body
Abandon time, eternal life, onward to oblivion
Witness body contortion, abomination forming
I have forgotten all, no longer human
All alone, grown cold
Godspeed to termination
All alone, grown cold
Tearing through death, an endless escape
A blight throughout time, an enduring hate
What I have seen and what I have changed
I’ve goddamned you all, I can never go back
The years disappearing
Drifting away
A void everlasting
A bottomless pit of grief
Trapped in this life I can never die

SCALDING Vancouver, British Columbia
Scalding, based in Vancouver, BC, are pushing the second-wave black metal sound to grim and violent new places. Furious
passages of death metal brutality break open into cathartic moments of classic rock harmony. The band seeks to explore all the emanations obscured in the dark and deliver them anthemically and relentlessly on record and from the stage.

A ferocious, seething onslaught brimming with the ravenous spirit of black metal! The vocals also reminded me of that diabolic spectral nature of Spirit Possession. Many passages had me imagining claustrophobic battle in the fiery corridors of some medieval demon’s keep. A solid offering in the library of black metal!

Every so often, one discovers an album so powerful that it changes his perspective on what "powerful" music actually is. Sparagmos is one of those albums.

Dawn of the Iron Shadow
by ONE OF NINE

The opening of 'Age of Chains' is a breath of fresh air in black metal — atmospheric, melodic, epic. The music has a different feel than most in the genre: less dark and more fantasy, though still intense at times with icy guitar riffs and cold blast beats. I like the bright-colored cover art, with no logo or text, and the title of the fifth track, 'Behold the Shadow of My Thoughts', is great as well.
