lyrics

LYRICS

With all the fore-sight of a grand master,
plotting ten steps ahead’s the way I approach each day.
Contriving events that will suit my gain.
Refrain from innocent distractions.
I focus.

I will manipulate all that’s perceived as fate.
All thoughts I’ll instigate. All actions I’ll dictate.

I will digest the elements with unparalleled scrutiny.
And when man and earth are mine, I will force my will on the planets.

I will instigate strategic conflict with the galaxy.
Stars will become mere pawns. Venus my queen. Neptune king.

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
