awaken the sleeper
shake hands with the reaper
fall deeper and deeper into this pit known as my mind
surrender your weapons, surrender your lives
hear the sound of defeat, hear the hymn of demise
the longer i skulk through the gases of mephadross
the more i adopt their thirst for death
there's no point in fighting
give up all hope
the longer you're breathing
the longer you'll choke
i'd rather die in the valor of combat; leave my corpse to return to the earth
while the cowards feed the rats and the vultures, swinging from a rope
I have really fallen for this band. Alastor have a cavernous cathedral of sound, reverberating vocals and guitars with trance inducing drum rhythms offered as feedback-drenched hymns to our Angel of Light, Lucifer. What I love is that Alastor write actual songs with melodies, accompanied by dark poetic lyrical spells - memorable ear-worms which one hums and sings long after the music has stopped playing. Enchanting and seductive. Black Magic indeed. Master of Alchemy
It's almost impossible to pick a favorite song, this whole album is an instant doom metal classic! Truly one of the best new artists of the genre!! veganfabio
