A Cursed City
Flooded and sealed
Contained for eons
Lest the dark arts be revealed
I wander these dead halls
Descend through these pits
I give myself willingly
To the abyss
Out from the blackness
The serpent rises
Speaking the truth
Forbidden so long
Dripping venom
Without sentiment
Humanity
Heralds the Dark Lord
The flame of all life
Is dwindling away
Embrace the shadows
Let it fade
This feeble fool
Who coddles fire
And clings to his waning age
The King must die

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
