lyrics

In life the battle burns bright with spraying blood and frightened eyes
That see the callous hand of death which brings dead bodies worms and flies
Then rides that black-cloaked wizard after the frenzied fray
He sees the mangled bodies, he finds the murdered brave
To resurrect their fighting spirits and enliven undead swordarms
Out on the warfield he builds his swarms

“May death be ye bride
Undead you serve bereft the choice
Heard are my words arcane
Posthumous shall I misguide
Retrieved from your death again to live
Brought back from your last breath
When worldly fates and what awaits are gauged
These spells may stil negate
May you embrace my rule

“I’m building an army, these the recycled dead
The strongest are chosen, to my triumph be led
I decide who lives and who shall die
Buried or not, a chance you may survive
Gnarl and writhe for me, the grandest of the Lichlords
Guilder of graves, I am Velsharoon!

In evil hearts lies reason, in genius minds lies wicked vice
And all may crave that grim obsession, power absolute
Cold means to gain…

“May death be ye bride
Undead you serve bereft the choice
Heard are my words arcane
Posthumous shall I misguide
Retrieved from your death again to live
Brought back from your last breath
When worldly fates and what awaits are gauged
These spells may stil negate
May you embrace my rule

“I’m building an army, these the recycled dead
The strongest are chosen, to my triumph be led
I decide who lives and who shall die
Buried or not, a chance you may survive
Gnarl and writhe for me, the one they call ‘The Vaunted’
Undeath is a maze, I am the skeleton key”

never been a big death metal fan but this is actually super accessible for the genre, has fun concepts, and personally i'm always a fan of albums with short tracklists and huge runtimes (for individual songs) Great time, good jumping on point for newbies too. alienasu

Dry & Grinding Mouth
by CROSSSPITTER

supported by 18 fans who also own “The Necrophant”

The kind of music that makes you say, "FUCK, I have not spat on a cross today!" And then you go spit on the nearest cross. It bubbles and melts because Crossspitter has changed you forever, and you are now a God-cursed acid-drooling abomination--which, you know, is still better than being a Christian, so you turn up the music, crack open a beer, and enjoy the sense of emotional fulfillment that comes of regular crossspitting. a_human

"Soaring, banging Crust songs borne of consonant minor chord rock and roll riffermania, building melodiously to orgasmic upper mid-paced, broad bass-lead white-flash blinding result, with eruption of scything shredding leads, master crafted motorlord drums lithe and brimming with nuclear energy, vocal drunken as hell and boiling with Burning Spirits mayhemic mana." https://gonzokaraoke.wordpress.com/2022/11/29/loud-night-self-titled-demo/ Blastbeat Junkie
