These days are growing darker
These times are getting worse
Strangled by iron fist
Into the mire – immersed
A thrall is whipped; servant to man
Gold is the master of the whip hand
Desperate is this age
Born to be slaves
Peasants
Our will wanes ever weaker
These chains augmented – strong
Our weary eyes are tortured
By the crushing burden of another dawn
Blind, these men of God
This faith in divine law
It has abandoned all
Nothing to save our souls
Into the blighted depths
Trampled down by arrogance
Spit forth your final breath
Scream for your oppressor’s death
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
