lyrics

Deep in Cimmerian nightmare rises two pillars of stone.
Into dimensions of terror I venture alone.
Off in the distance a siren, hypnotic and beckoning song.
Chaining the weak by their hearts sparing only the strong.

Under otherworldly spire, offer your life to the fire.
Take what is your to claim,
Give your soul to the singing flame.

Kneel before the emperor of the dream and travel to worlds unseen.

Banish your thoughts of reality, let life as you know it rot and fade away,
Leave the mundane behind forever and die for the dawning of a stranger day.

Primal caves, glowing eyes, devils ever lurking at the edge of the night.
Only ebony and tempered steel to comfort me living at the edge of the night to night.
Wizardy and slight of hand, my sorcery will keep me from the reach of the alien blade.
Evil snarez and succubi pave my ascent to the throne for which was made.

Yet another album I’m addicted to. This is definitely one of my favorite NWOTHM releases. It reminds me of being a teenager and discovering Iron Maiden. Love the sci-fi themes. Sludge Mouf

Wicked blackened/thrash. A great holdover while waiting for their new album on Peaceville to come out. Bart

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
