Notes

Death Revival is the second full-length by Greek death metal band Abyssus, released on January 21, 2022 via Transcending Obscurity Records. The lineup consisted of Konstantinos Analytis (vocals), Panos Gkourmpaliotis (guitars), Chris Liakos (guitars), Konstantinos Ragiadakos (bass), and Jan Westermann (drums). Artwork was created by Andreas Marschall.

The album was recorded at Unreal Studios in Athens, with the band handling mixing and mastering. It presents old-school death metal rooted in late-1980s/early-1990s styles, featuring thrash-infused riffs, mid-tempo grooves, occasional doom passages, and raw rasping vocals. Production emphasizes a warm, analog-leaning tone with prominent guitars and driving percussion across its seven tracks and 33-minute runtime.

3. Uncertain Future – 03:51 >
The pain is endless Children fall down dead A fest of violence Feelings of dread Drawl the end as it's so near The punishment will be severe Bow to death, cursed human race Worthless, dolorous and disgraced There is no time left to think Or re-consider now You have ignored the past And you chose not to know Banished to be martyrs As mankind is abased The time is right; the time is now Existence lost in shades Uncertain Future The sun won't rise Darkness upon of us Ashes to ashes Dust to dust Drawl the end as it's so near The punishment will be severe Bow to death, cursed human race Worthless, dolorous and disgraced There is no time left to think Or re-consider now You have ignored the past And you chose not to know Banished to be martyrs As mankind is abased The time is right; the time is now Existence lost in shades Uncertain Future
4. The Beast Within – 04:26 >
Query for death Begging for redemption I am servant, I'll offer you salvation Witness your sins That you should confess I am licensed to kill what's way fits best Can you see - in my eyes The stare of a madman is at your side I'm insane - I'll share pain As you'll screaming in vain Lunacy, cannot even think The darkest path, I'm on the lead Paranoia, I'm mentally deranged The beast within Has taken control of me Time is waning and I have no more Your life I'll take That's why I'm born Through torture of innocent I'll find my cure When this will end I'll never be sure Can you see - in my eyes The stare of a madman is at your side I'm insane - I'll share pain As you'll screaming in vain Lunacy, cannot even think The darkest path, I'm on the lead Paranoia, I'm mentally deranged The beast within Has taken control of me There is no way out... Blessed like a God Cursed like a man A seed that feeds The Beast within
5. Genocide – 06:26 >
Systematic Killing as masses carried out A brutal deportation, forced to leave their ground Their religion - and their ethnicity A good reason - for this morbidity Death marches - summary expulsion Inhumanity and arbitrary executions Genocide - Hundred thousand died Genocide - Condemned for no crime Insane for integrity Breed this mad campaign Slaughtering minorities And cause eternal pain Their religion - and their ethnicity A good reason - for this morbidity Death marches - summary expulsion Inhumanity and arbitrary executions Genocide - Hundred thousand died Genocide - Condemned for no crime We're dying, yes we're dying Our land we left behind We walked hundreds of miles But not sure if we'll be alive Death's now among us Death's now one with us Death may be our savior And affirm this Genocide
6. The Witch – 02:52 >
Eyes cold as ice Deaths stare of pure demise Now you're on her way This is the final day Cursed is this night Hers name breeds fright The lady in black On Hellish command None shall defy To die is a wish Neither deny Beware of ... The Witch
7. When Wolves Are Out to Hunt – 06:58 >
Through the ice and through the snow In the grimness, the frost and the cold Galloping steady into the woods Forest's their kingdom They set their own rules They appear through the mist In search for blood, In for the kill Hounds are marching Under a blackened sky What resists...will die When wolves are out to hunt They appear through the mist In search for blood, In for the kill Hounds are marching Under a blackened sky What resists...will die They're coming for you Watch out! It's death who's leading the pack You are their prey There's no turning back Run in fear, try to escape But it's pointless, it's too late

Total length: 33:16
