about

RIFFARAMA! The simple drumming was preserved to best capture the atmosphere of Bathory 85, which is also the main inspiration for this track, along with Sabbat, early Sepultura and Tormentor. 1st wave black metal in short.

It’s a very rock’n’roll tune with its fair share of mistakes kept to amplify the caveman nature of the song. Basically, metal played with a punk attitude. a lot of improvisation on bass makes the song feel more free (I generally prefer a loud bass in metal and a loose style in general). no idea where the fading part came from. I just wanted a hypnotic ending.

Worship “The Return......”

lyrical themes: Evil, Dark Fantasy

lyrics

I fell at last
Through the gaps in the stars you command

My hunger
Your hatred
Bestowed upon me
I’ll unleash your justice on this land

A servant of fire
Whose eyes flicker in the dead of night
Amongst a sea of darkness only I can see
My soul is dyed with the color of your thoughts
You’d do well to fear me

I belong below
Your horns, my beacons, my prey

My soul is dyed with the color of your thoughts

The vessels enclosing your soul
Will burn like twigs on a fire
Shameless, violent, unknown
I’ll hunt you as fast as gunfire

Air thick as a jungle of weird thoughts
Set ablaze
This is the way the world ends
Under Satan’s dire gaze

I stand calm at the end of the world
Listening to long lost cries
Screams, doomed to dwell alone as in dreams
For beyond there’s just silence

And should I return to your temple
With spoils from a thousand wars
I’ll return a champion
Crown me with horns
