Cadaverum Caecorum Liber

Lyrics by: Dr. Lucio Holocausto
Arise, Templars, Arise!
Heretic Knights of the East...Undead Horrors!
Blind centuries of debauchery and death are theirs...
From their Spanish tombs to Babylon are they called...
To seek out the eldritch frimoire: the Necronomicon
To usher forth the hungry End, the end of Time
They would gaze upon the Sun as it turns black
And so upon cadaverous horses, The Blind Dead ride!
Under a death-white moon, they ride...
For the unspeakable Book, they ride...
Beyond reality's thin veil, they ride...
Into blackest oblivion, they ride...
They ride...
The Book unearthed, the rites need the rarest blood
And so hunted are nightmares, dreadful and ghastly
Daninsky, Orloff, the Matres - nothing but prey!
Spells are cast from aged pages, the sacrificed made
The wind howls as the infinite Void yawns agape
The Old Ones have come, grand and obscene!
From the Templars' dead eyes do tentacles unfurl
As their skeleton maws shake with insane laughter...

Lyrics by: Wayne Sarantopoulos
The strange behavior of the bewitched
Souls of long winter nights cursed
Accusations of mystical deviltry
Gallows Hill awaits thy sentenced first
They shall "Make devils of us all"
Confessions stir the witches' brew
These six convicted condemned to hang
in sixteen hundred ninety two
Guilty are they for deeds gone undone at the trial
Innocent blood flows forever down church aisle
Red rats, talking cats, and a tall man dressed in black
Tales of lunacy spoken and accepted as fact
Salem!
The devil swarming the sky?
The wrath of God or just a lie?
Witchcraft!
Demonic possession of this small town?
Just hang them high before the sun goes down?
Nineteen had fallen, from rich to the poor
Confusion builds inside accursed ones
Religious fables pouring from unknowing lips
Their time to die from evil deeds undone

Lyrics by: Vanessa Nocera
Witch-hunting through the mountainside
Executed in the village of the damned
Tortured to confess though we are innocent
In the name of God, we are murdered by man
I have nothing to confess
Free me from this agony, give me death
Whipped, bound, broken bones
Left to starve and rot all alone
Stretched out on the rack
Branded skin on our feet and backs
Tongues ripped from the root
Convicting us without proof
Condemned to death by burning at the stake
(Brenn, Hexe, Brenn!)
How much more cruelty can we take?
(Brenn, Hexe, Brenn!)
Our souls will be forever scorned
(Brenn, Hexe, Brenn!)
And none of us will ever be mourned
(Brenn, Hexe, Brenn!)

Die Rache Der Hexen
04:32

|||

Lyrics by: Vanessa Nocera and Mario Hirt
Die Rache der Hexen
Auferstanden von den Toten
Erzürnte Seelen ohne Ruh
Schauen dir beim Sterben zu
Du kriegst die selbe Strafe
Die sie bekamen von dir
Sie greifen an,
voller Hass und Schmerz
Und nie mehr schlagen wird dein Herz
Witches grave, (they return)
From the dead, (from the dead)
Revenge of the witches; they rise from the dead
They attack, (they attack)
With hate and pain, (hate and pain)
You get the same torture as you had given them
Die Rache der Hexen
Auferstanden von den Toten
Sie greifen an,
voller Hass und Schmerz
Und nie mehr schlagen wird dein Herz
From our ice-cold graves
(Wir kriegen dich)
We are coming for YOU!
(Wir kriegen dich)

Lyrics by: Vanessa Nocera
An unearthly display, a painting of family graves
Color stripped; a ghostly grey, canvas portrays decay
Shadowy imagery obscures what you see
As you watch, it changes; his spirit is now free
Creeping, from the crypt he's coming
Seeking his retribution
Running, through the house you can't hide
He is at your door!
Unmerciful demise, his ghost will not abide
He watches from the stairs, his painting - a seething glare
Filling you with guilt; clouding your frail mind
Soon it gets the best of you; he wants you dead, too!
Get back in your grave!
Go back to the ground where you belong!
Get back in your grave!
You're DEAD!
Madness takes you over, your inheritance now meaningless
Guilt over-powers you, throwing you to your death
Claiming the mansion, his name was next in line
His plan to vanquish you came in little time
But, now he cowers, watching you rise from the dead
Is this insanity? Is this only in his head?
Screaming in fear for you to leave him be
An opening door is all he sees...

Skullcoven
05:05
|
|||
|
Lyrics by: Vanessa Nocera
In the shadow of the raven
Plowing through Satan's grave
Emerging from the frozen mud;
a rotting, decomposed face
Unleashing an evil
Possessing His easy prey
Angel is now a demon, won't you come play her games?
Under a crown of flower and birch
Angel's ugly, painted face
Left to die in the ruin church
She caused your agonizing fate
Kneel down before Satan
Ceremonial sacrifice
Patches of hair growing on our skin
Madness altars our lives
Passing around a cloth containing Satan's claw
Reviving forgotten horrors, defying your God's law
Corrupted by the Devil's touch, the Skullcoven is born
Witchcraft is proven alive, defying what you've sworn
Using His minions for His revolting revenge!
Reassures His curse will never end!
In the shadow of the raven, you fight fire with fire
You want to re-bury the evil and kill this wicked Sire
Face to face in a long, black cloak you impale him with your sword
Only to fear the return of Skullcoven and their Dark Lord
The lush countryside is turning black
Blood on Satan's claw brings Him back!

Anguished Atonement
06:54
|
|||
|
Lyrics by: Vanessa Nocera
You are beckoned on a stormy night
To dress the corpse of a sorceress
Her face contorted in a painful smirk
Your avocation leaves her unable to rest
A single jewel on her hand catches your eyes
And your greedy hands shake as you pry away
Her possessions from her cold, dead hands
Dress her warm for her grave, but what you don't understand...
She will return
Watch out behind your back
Will you ever learn?
The dead lurk in the pitch black
racconto della donna fantasma, nella tua casa
In her white gown, her body afloat
Her hands raised to grasp your throat
Begging for mercy, falling on deaf ears
She enjoys watching you writhe in fear
Standing over your body
They see your expression of fright
The same jewel yanked from your hands
Who will you haunt on this night?

Bleeding Coffin

Lyrics by: Vanessa Nocera
Stalking the bride on her honeymoon
Planning to take her from her groom
Appearing only in the darkness
A figure shrouded in a gossamer dress
Her familiar face is haunting
Just like the lady in the painting
Clutching a dagger as she stands
Inverted rings adorn each hand
The lady of her nightmares
Glowing, sapphire eyes
Comes to her at dawn
To plan his demise
Together they plunge the knife
Deep into his chest
The blood-spattered brides
Put him to a bloody rest
It was just a dream, a reality to be
Through the stone labyrinth, with draping ivy
She recites to you her hatred for all men
You seal the pact with a kiss, you are in her reign
Breast to breast, cheek to cheek, you howl like cats in the night
Drinking the blood from each other's necks
Two females' alliance in flight
He discovers their sanctuary
When he follows them down the path
He witnesses their rituals
A lesbian bloodbath
It was just a dream, a reality to be
Through the stone labyrinth, with draping ivy
She recites to you her hatred for all men
You seal the pact with a kiss, you are in her reign
Breast to breast, cheek to cheek, you howl like cats in the night
Drinking the blood from each other's necks
Two females' alliance in flight
Fearing his life is in danger
He guns down their coffin
Blood pours from the holes,
So the story is told
But they will come back!
They can never die!
Vampire women of Hell
Devote your body to lie...

Thrice Woven
by WOLVES IN THE THRONE ROOM
supported by 5 fans who also own “Dungeon Prayers & Tombyard Serenades”
Oublier le monde qui se trouve autour de vous, projeter son esprit autre part. Wolves in the Throne Room a toujours eu une façon singulière de nous faire voir les choses sous un autre angle bien plus grand. Thrice Woven part en des temps immémoriaux dans laquelle la Nature est exaltée ("The Old Ones are With Us"), les mythes — nordiques ? — célébrés (qui d'autre que Anna von Hausswolff et sa voix magnifique pour faire ça ?) avec un black metal rapide qui s'inspire de la vague finlandaise.

What an impressive piece of black metal. This one-man hurricane is pure art. Sgah‘gahsowáh creates an haunting atmosphere. He puts so much soul in his music.

Elegance in doom metal form. Breathtaking album that brought me elsewhere. It's crazy it's a debut too. Can't wait to hear more from them.
