lyrics

Welcome all we've gathered here tonight
Let us now peel-back the layers
The ancient gods are here amongst us in the dark
Hungering for evil prayers

Here in the sacred shrine of blasphemy we meet
To probe the ancient depths of horror & decay
Enter the magister, the one we all revere
He is the mastermind behind all that you fear
Once he had been a man with hopes & dreams like you
Now he's a nameless beast with glowing eyes of dread
& in his hands he holds a severed human head
He still stalks the night in never-ending death

Now I ride with the mocking & friendly ghouls on the night winds
& play by day in the catacombs.
I know that light is not for me, save that of the moon

The servitors of shame, the formless fiends of dusk
Crustaceous-bodied beasts are floating on black dust
Deep underneath the ground where sunlight never goes
We make an evil pact with Those That Lurk Below
The cries of those who died, the echoes in the night
They whisper to me still & torture me with fright
When will I find revenge & who will be my Guide?
I Face my destiny with evil by my side

The Echoes of the Macabre

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
