Scores of men in the under-croft
Slaughtered by a Demigod
All through the bloodbath the beast lay unscathed
I stood fast and drew my blade
Dripping red
Unholy force
Defy death
A Wind of Swords
Survival hinged on a final push
I would strike a quietus
I stared deep into the demon’s eyes
Screaming forth a rallying cry
It was Crimson like a drop of blood
The Egg of the King – the mark of a God
It saved our skin with the power it holds
We kept our lives - but what of our souls?

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
