lyrics

Welcome all who'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 secret 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 crawling eyes of dread
& in his hands he hold a severed human head
He still stalks the night in never ending death

"Now I ride with the mocking & friendly ghouls on the night wind
& 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 feeding 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 on my side

The echoes of the macabre

I can't formally retract the erroneous 2.0 I gave this back in 2018, but I can say that, five years on, I've come around to this record in a big way. Quality death metal with great atmosphere without being "atmospheric" (read: boring) metal. Diabolus in Muzaka
