Additional

In My Embrace (1992) is a quintessential example of early 90s Dutch Death/Thrash, engineered by Frank van der Hulst at T.M.B. Studios and released via Midian Records. Sonically, it is defined by a mid-range heavy production, shifting from aggressive thrash tempos to dissonant death metal, anchored by the vocal and guitar work of Drayen Nilfgaard and the percussion of Frank Schilperoort. It remains a notable cult release for its rejection of standard US death metal tropes in favor of a more erratic, European structural approach.

Tracklist

1. Rancid Orchid – 04:53 >

Sweetness poured in excess sours the mind, But when the tongue is tasteless, The judgement is blind, The tender caress, a lustfull kiss,  Pollutes the mind when love is missed.  This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh, Formed from dust of lifes breath to ashes of lifes death,  The temptation of sweetness to roam as the gods, To walk in sorrow on forsaken grounds, To bear children in sorrow for eternity, To tread the paths where thorns and thistles grow, For dust you are and to dust you will return.  Our garden of Eden, the serpents kiss, Pluck the apple, a moment of bliss, Desperation, the conscience confined, The pain and pleasure forever entwined, In the quest for good and evil, you feel, Temptation flirting about with you, To taste the fruitfulness of knowledge, From the serpents kiss...  Engraved in the flower you'll find, The poisoned petals will bleed, Seep-the venom over your lips, Believe in the orchids fruitfulness, be deceived, Soul acquitance, a shattered memory, Displeased by the firmness of truth, Consume it for its lust for life, Melancholy of a story untold...

2. Circus of Filth – 03:48 >

Cry, vision, sculptured perfection Nature ; splinterred, shattered, Condemned to evolve into a mechanical Bedlam of filth, revolving endlessly - In neverending spirals we turn, Bondage ; punctured, fractured, Focus on life is lost.  Preacher, it feels like this !  Its in the body & soul - a ruptured feeling The mind reacts - to take control To conserve it and to bring it back You must cherish it - coz its an impact To preserve it - or it will crack Yeah... Bitch !  A stagnant tale, clown fodder, A cunning ploy for a dirt nirvana, Junk religion, food for the ignorant, Taste the waters of filth.

3. And the Jester Laughs – 03:55 >

No, no more of this divinity, I seek The truth or reality in my mind There are thoughts of sheer paradise, I'll wait till then to conquer my souls lust I'll wait, I'll bleed my misery... Till then...  I grin in your face, Smurk and smutter as you crawl, You lie there abrassed, Playing this tune as you grovel for me, Bitch, grovel for me !  No, there is no remorse, Though I'll miss the embrace, You always had been misplaced, It had to come to an end my love, It was my fear of losing you, Although the lust remains forever.  I grin in your face, Smurk and smutter as you crawl, You lie there abrassed, Playing this tune as you grovel for me, Now the tide has turned, Yes, once your slave, I bow down one last Time for your "master", And laugh at your disgrace, Bitch, grinning in your face !

4. Corrupt Fairy Tale – 03:35 >

I call with my whole heart, hear me, Oh lord, I will keep thy statutes, Yeah, even unto you do I call, help me, And I shall keep your testimonies.  Early in the morning I do cry unto thee, For in thy word is my trust, Draw nigh that of malice, persecute me, And revenge be promised, I ensure.  Many there are that trouble me, Yet I will not swerve from sanctimony, I have known long since that, Thou has grounded them in pits of eternity. I'm in need not of prosperity, free me, Ensure me my seat at god's throne, Take my wealth in this earthly interlude, The truth in thy word is my trust (or is it ? )

5. Eminent Scum – 02:28 >

Trapped behind a locked door, Nailed to a cross, left to be Drained of wealth and capital For greed of a two faced faith, Which is based on lies, corrupting, Preaching the hymns of fraud, To be drilled in the minds of innocent, Brainwashed souls who have sold themselves, To a faith of greed, giving and giving, To endless charities to purify their souls For a guaranteed place in paradise, which Will set their simple minds at ease, To pray and clarify all their weak sins, Filling the pockets of the church, Draining the wealth and capital, Obsessed with money for greed.

6. Soul of Cain – 04:27 >

Brother, I beseech thee, mercyfully to hear us, And grant, that I with hearty desire by thy Mighty aid be defended and conforted, in sorrow, And adversity, I pray...  I cry, in my humiliation, pity me, I feel the asp eating at me, do repent the sin, I have begat for the exile of my soul, Cast away your guilt upon me, lead me Into given grace.  Brother, trustingly, thou believed me, Pitied the jealousy, recognised the Fragrance of my envy, brother bless me For regretfully I cry...  Brother, I despised thee, for virtue was thy Honesty, the shadows of your modesty haunts My path of secularity, quelching the persona Of what I am... ...I am frail...

7. In My Embrace – 04:19 >

The developping soul and its self-taught sordiness Is already embarked on its way to emptiness  In its wake from this dream of orchids Lies there waiting for you, shades of holiness  Answer me, Believe your dream is the dream of a thousand dreamers Feel me, Touch the wounds of the nails pearced through me, In your heart you feel a bitter sting, A sting confined to your stained glass soul.  You fell from grace, No I don't believe in miracles, Its the spirit thats held you in bondage, Lift that curse over you !  I have sinned against you my lord, Forgive my addictive ecstacy, Though I am the righteous, Please take me into your embrace, Make me feel the warmth of your presence, Cleanse me from the bondage of this impure world, Free me from the souls lust.

8. Deceived – 04:29 >

Now in torment, I wish that life Would bless me to die, This mould of purity, driven out I cannot conceive this embrace to hold control, Heaving me up, this must to die ? I rest in all gods peace, For now I know all is safe...  The tide of faith has drowned, The followers of hipocrisy, Preaching to destroy.  Life has passed unscathed, A time of blessed divinity, Now the herd has turned inept, Controlled by the madmans vitility, All has been deceived, I await the sign of security, The king shall be betrayed To fill his own avidity.  The sign will come through a solstice, Which will blind and trick the swarm, The blackened life shall resurrect, The wolf shall be reborn.  Now, drink from the golden cup, The blood of the pious whore, Vile stentch of blackened flesh, Nourished by the sacred to be born, Repent what has been boorn, Glimpse of guilt eternal spite, Wheel of torment twisting...

9. Christian Herd Conformity – 05:41 >

Fornicating with christ, My mental afrodesiac, Nailed upon a cross, Oh, the orgasm in my mind.  Let's chant the song of praise !  Hierarchy of the holy, the lust for the ambition The attending fashion congregation synthesises With blind ommission, thought or change in Thoughts, await the sign of revelation, sermon Sends the guiding light, the shooting beacon.  Subdued by inner fears, confessions clear the Conscience, to indulge in further sin, Yes... Paradise awaits you the righteous pious Justice claims the vision for you, implanted in The brain, the garden of truth, Fornication with christ, clerical prostitution, Donations from the flock, the conditioned minds, Guided by submission, their biblical code of Conduct, their blurred and blinded eyes betray You... Yes, betray you !  Christian herd conformity, Conservative society, Lies in waiting, To clone their souls bound.
