Beauty & Deceased

Cackling shadows breathe their blackness on my heart
And from those curses came the call to crawl down to the dark
A fallen woman came upon me in that night
And with her horrid glee infected me with dreadful dreams that robbed me of my might
Melting shapes of tangled bodies writhe
Twisted limbs & vacant eyes
Somewhere in the dark I found a door
I left her trapped there evermore...
Lead: Bruss
There's something watching from the sky
Behind the black side of the moon there lurks a constant eye
The tendrils of the night breathe into me new life
Don't sweep me up yet, Rusty Scythe

The Hungerer
01:52

Consumed by dark obsession
I composed a morbid poem
An attempt to conjure fears
Giving them an earthly form
The stanzas held the secret
Of the resurrection spells
For a spectral haunter hidden
Where all superstitions dwell
Melody: Bruss
Before, it had been nothing
An idea without birth
Now my words have brought it crawling
Out of legendry to lurk the earth
No way to undo that this rotted dream came true
Promethean advent occurred & brought life to the Hungerer

End the World of Men

Unleashing an army of hybrid Orks
Siege foundations down with our mindless force
Bloody rusted blades with the strength to wield
Come & taste the tang of our mighty steel
Brothers of the hand come hear my prayer:
Give us bone to break & flesh to tear
Human heads to hack & stack in cairns
Master's evil eye is in your head
Traitors to his throne must join the dead
Infected with decay, unholy hosts
You will not be saved by your Maiar Ghosts
Killing cries, drunk on the blood of saints
The overlord feeds on the blood he taints
Join us now or else we will crush your souls
All consuming horde of bloodthirsty trolls

Baron of the Dark

Candle-lit shadows, flickering forms
Paint the walls in my manor forlorn
Psychedelic mushrooms taken with wine
Reading pulps by the fire reclined
Thunder strikes a distant chord
Wind whips the candelabra
In the dark his presence looms
Eldritch, perverse, macabre
A gaunt, pale form emerged
Mad with fright I laughed
Before me standing in spectral splendour
Was the spirit of Howard Lovecraft
Silently he judged me
As I sat aghast
Then he haunted my head with horrors
From starry aeons vast
After laying in a coma for days
I awakened from that feverish haze
Bloody, naked as the day I was born
My precious first editions scattered & torn
He is not dead who eternal Lies

never been a big death metal fan but this is actually super accessible for the genre, has fun concepts, and personally i'm always a fan of albums with short tracklists and huge runtimes (for individual songs) Great time, good jumping on point for newbies too.
