Witness the blackening sun. Clouded by the winds of malevolence. No mercy. None spared. Tonight the depths shall drink their fill. Serpents clad in shadows. Slaves to perverted text. Cowards clinging to distorted truth. Sacrificial lambs to the slaughter. The sky will crack with rapturous lightning. The earth will shake with marching thunder. March onward. Serpents clad in shadows. Slaves to perverted text. Cowards clinging to distorted truth. Sacrficial lambs to the slaughter. Upon jaded wings, vengeance shall soar. No peace in slumber. No god awaits you.
I didn't know about this band for a very long time. That is a tragedy. This record absolutely crushes, combining technicality, melody and pure knuckle dragging belligerence. It's executed flawlessly.
The lyrics are great. The riffs are great. The leads are great. The vocals are great. Lots of hooks everywhere.
Ten years too late this was my album of the year.
A Metal Archives dig led me to Enemy Mind, who also rule. Psyched about these outstanding Pittsburgh bands. Matt Medeiros
