Death's Loco's Synfonic Meadow

Death's Loco's Synfonic Meadow Between vocals that would make Michael Stanne proud, Decapitated & Centinex type riffs, with a producion akin to A.M.S.G. and Ragnarok's "Psychopathology". A dark brooding tale to make you find your way back to those times of splendor when Entombed had unleashed the hordes.To times when Gorguts,Dismember, Dissection, Nocturnus & Hypocrisy's "Penetralia" expanded the reaches of extreme metal.
Among the finest intense sounds this side of Schuldiner in the history of mankind! \m/ 9.666/10 Favorite track: Duskward Spire.

flightoficarus (Metal Trenches) Greek black metal continuing to deliver the goods with this more melodic-yet-cavernous take on the genre. Maye a little death metal a la Left Hand Path in there as well.

West of Arkham, The hills rise wild Amidst old ruins The shadows always lurk, The glint of the sunlight The wide chimneys crumbling The desolation sprawled grey, a fine grey dust There’s silence in the dim alleys between And the floor is soft with moss and decay. Relief, from that great wound that grips my mind They unwrap, under grim woods, black roots - shallow mud tombs Relief, from that black maw, that yawns inside The doom in coloured shadows His husky voice sank low, His body leaned forward and cracked Engulf in water now A deluge of sorrows A bitter message from the stars From beyond time to dust The dark westward tangle Where the woods turn grey A yawning black maw And the acrid strain of death Relief was all that he shewed Relief from the dark of the yawning black maw Better under water now Better under water since the strange days.

Verum Inanis 06:27
Raving, reduced into a mattering corpse Carving, flesh of his flesh are the sermons of Void Sealed with a mark of contempt The husk of one such as him Couldn’t have truly been void of life Gaunt eyes cadaverous Limbs Under Possession used as a scribe The chamber surprisingly ridden of vermin The thing that possessed him allowed for the drain Parchments of skin lay still in the dust Scrawled with a nail that was dipped in his blood The vascular system has wormed from within And spread on the cave like a fungal disease No audible breath, excretion and pulse His vitals in sync with the cycles of ages Vessels exposed and forming new paths Their forms are redrawn on the terrible pages

Eremite 06:14
He bore the mark of hunger Curled mangling pain His iris was dilated On the eye that remained Deprived of Respite His face a work of scars Leprous bright wounds That never trully mend His face a work of scars That never truly mend Relying upon the Void To see him through the bitter end He stood upon the serpent stone And held a moments time Then took the step that had him brought Before the basalt shrine He crossed his feet together And took a pilgrims stance His mangled fingers forming seals That set his mind in trance He reached inside his shriveled throat And tore his blackened tongue And chanted gargling blasphemies Towards the world of man The offering accepted but barely satisfied The dweller of the shrine would have his one remaining eye The eremite extruded a crude and broken blade And with it took his one last eye and proved the name Unmade Prepared for the occasion he cast a spell of sight And finally bore witness to the Madness of the Shrine

Procession 01:21

The crimson hunger of the sun Disturbs the holy Void The stars are wounds and matter Stains emptiness Eternal dusk, the bones are cast Altered beings erect the basalt throne The sky (is) beset with blossoms of scrying eyes Strange with time and ruinous it was Bound to the sky with ancient ties The gate lies still and bright and cold The old ones return in final form Across old horizons Deep below where time is not Red dusk umber twilight And the ridded light of dawn A baneful constellation sets an eye Upon this world I sought the hidden piper Discerned the goat unseen Called forth the harbingers of time Of dusks I dream The ruby sky befalen The sunken horns revealed As depths devour the cosmic mire Its dust I breathe The crimson hunger of the sun Disturbs the holy Void The stars are wounds and matter Stains emptiness
6.
Under the punishing rays of the sun Smeared with the blood of his kin On treacherous paths Through desolate wastes He carried his pitiful being Writhing with open wounds blisters and sores Attuned to the voice in his head Accusing and hateful mocking and vile Dictating the ways of the dead Storm the places below Primordial worms await Eat from their succulent flesh Drink from the cup of disease Storm the places below With fire and blood and the joining of beasts Before the foreboding idols of alien godlings The pulse of his blood despised by the sun He is roaming this earths darkest places Dark apostle one eyed lamb You are lost in your lords Thousand faces
7.
The rite of the moon has summoned you Smeared in human blood Brought in this world to strike again To bring death once more Called by an ancient pagan order A flock gathered around fire Seized from nowhere From the mother of the thousand young A terror from beyond has awoken Trailing, crawling towards blood Standing tall like a tree Like a black tree, moving with the wind Ecstasy and hatred Repulsive odor Reciting in tongues, again and again Praying to the old god, invoking Soggoth - to REIGN To the Deathstar Feed upon ignorance Stain and desecrate purity Feed upon ignorance Rise up above the Void precipice And follow the whispering howls astray The strains of a repugnant malefice Stringed together by spears of dismay Ιn endless depths where only thoughts descend There, dwell the magnificent children of the black goat Rise up ancient one, crack the earth from within And circle beyond, creation and time Come forth insolence, the buried so deep We divulge in ecstasy, to awaken the one who sleeps Listen to the clatters of the silver chain As you become the substance of the void Dive into the crimson river Spill your blood to the swirling vortex below See the signs of the other world, In the reflection of the moon upon the strangers eyes Now the gate lies open Egress the horrid womb Trails of blood in its wake And caress the bitter doom
