Recording

Recorded in late 1991 at Dogfish Sound, Newberg, Oregon, USA.

Additional

Arachnid is an eight-track, 33-minute cassette demo recorded late 1991 at Dogfish Sound studio in Newberg, Oregon by Portland death/thrash quartet Arachnid, self-released on their Wicked Bone imprint in 1992 and self-produced by Paul Nicholls and Roger DeCarlo. Existing entirely outside the commercial metal infrastructure of its era, it operated within tape-trading circuits without label support or press exposure, a circumstance compounded by its release at the precise moment thrash's commercial and underground cycles were both collapsing. Sonically, it inhabits the transitional zone between Bay Area/Teutonic thrash and early USDM — featuring blast beat and tremolo incursions within thrash-structured frameworks, prominently audible bass, subtly technical guitar phrasing, clean intro passages on multiple tracks, and a pipe organ contribution on "Intro / Phantom" — with vocals that phonologically straddle Pat Lind and early David Vincent. Three reissues between 2012 and 2020 (Stormspell, Headsplit, Alone Records) document its retrospective rehabilitation within underground collector culture; the band reformed in 2013 and remains active, but the 1992 cassette stands as the sole document of their original iteration.EOF

Tracklist

1. Beyond Torment – 04:21 >

Strapped down to the table of death Poisons flow into gasping breath Amputation with a P.H.D. in doom Pull out your guts Spread them around the room Chorus: Torment ripping through your brain Seas of blood screaming from the pain Surgery extraction of your life Therapy with the edge of a knife Stripped of skin your body's inside out Butchery is what they're all about Broken bone taking on new form Straight from hell you are reborn Repeat Chorus ~Lead P. Nicholls Brought back to life you live the hell again Will things work sewed on the wrong end? Monstrosity for all the world to see Twisted Flesh for sick technology Repeat chorus ~Lead R. Decarlo

2. Webs of Doom – 05:00 >

Shadowed in the darkened depths lies a twisted form Forged from the blackest seed a nightmare is born Bearing webs of evil set to snatch your soul No escape from deadly wounds Arachnid takes its toll Chorus: Venom injecting into your veins, make you fry Encased in webs of certain doom, hung up high Turn your bones into liquid form, suck you dry Arachnid surgeon of demise, you will die Running down an alleyway nowhere left to hide Deadly fangs of terror grasp you by your eyes Blackened blood embedded turns at your insides Changing form, now reborn, now you are on his side Repeat Chorus ~Lead P. Nicholls ~Lead R. Dicarlo ~Lead P. Nicholls ~Lead R. Dicarlo ~Lead P. Nicholls

3. Fears – 03:28 >

Locked in a box and you can't break free Suffocate in darkness, dead you'll be Claustrophobic, gasping for air Scream your heart out, no one will hear Fears within your brain Psychs calls you insane The things aren't real The burning you feel You're scared to death Scream with all your breath There is no light, you'll die of fright Hanging for your life heights, plunge below One slip of your grasp and down you'll go Sidewalk waits for you to break your bones Head first, swan-dive, sudden depths of your soul Fears within your brain Psychs calls you insane The things aren't real The burning you feel You're scared to death Scream with all your breath There is no light, you'll die of fright Chronic illness rots you from inside Cancer of the brain turns Jekyll into Hyde Heart attack surge feeds your fear to die In your grave maggots eat you where you lie Fears within your brain Psychs calls you insane The things aren't real The burning you feel You're scared to death Scream with all your breath There is no light, you'll die of fright

4. Intro / Phantom – 06:24

5. Near Darkness – 05:47 >

Dark soul carried on throughout time Jaws of death, born to the undead kind Night falls and you're about to lose your mind Darkness turning everything inside Changes, screaming for the smell of death Twist your guts until there's only evil left Voices calling to you from beyond Killing all, until the break of dawn Stalking your victims, your prey Feeding on blood, your way Humans are cattle, you slay Lurking in shadows 'till day Blood runs coldly from the dying man Power surge runs through the truly damned Hatred strong, but the sky has begun to glow Puff of smoke, back into the depths you go Men know your ways and special hiding place Ancestors past have led them to a common space Lifting lid, vermin desecrate the dark Death comes, with a stake right through the heart Stalking your victims, your prey Feeding on blood, your way Humans have found your nest Lying in shadows, you rest...near dark Near dark now

6. Reaper Within – 03:39 >

There is an evil voice that's growing Deep inside your twisted brain Telling you the human race is better off shot in the head You fight to find the inside that still is you In your hand is a bloody victim, what did you do? The reaper within, laughter The killings begin, slaughter Cries from fading breath, torture Calling for more death, murder Innocence is everywhere Its' blood is waiting to be spilled Bludgeoned bodies in your path How many have you killed Killing spree is just so easy, killing many then move on The hungry voice behind your eyes Is always thirsty, never done The reaper within, laughter The killings begin, slaughter Cries from fading breath, torture Calling for more death, murder Voices call, twist you to their ways Bodies fall with a flash of the blade Trail of death, M.O. comes clear Tortured mind boiling in hell Face of death staring back at you Dismemberment, branded insane Rage unleashed from a mind deranged Habitual needs, he's in your brain

7. The Witching – 06:05 >

Thrash through the twisted jungle A darkened magic rules this land Skulls are mounted on gnarled poles As you fall into the master hand Black magic tales come to life Consume your soul, his master plan A sickening feeling fills your guts His power drains you, you barely stand Voodoo rules here, all things living and dead Your blood and bones are magic's daily bread His pins and needles...pins and needles torture the doll His power consumes you It consumes you, now you must fall Venom surges through your head Your feet burn as if on fire Snakes crawl across your skin Incantations of hell's desire Scabs remain where sores had bled Your spirit is added to his pyre Men have told of this deadly place You had the balls to call them liar The magic doll is older than time itself In hidden jungle, some distant land He bottles your soul put on his shelf The power he saves, keeps close at hand All that comes near he will consume Ultimate power, just as he planned Warnings are posted, ignored by fools Becoming puppets at his command Voodoo rules here, all things living and dead Your blood and bones are magic's daily bread His pins and needles...pins and needles torture the doll His power consumes you It consumes you, now you must fall

8. Water Burial – 04:50 >

Days ago sea and sky seemed so tame Now the ship is tossed as sirens scream their names Sailing on through a storm belched from hell Demon clouds dance as waves crash over the rail Sails are torn, rain thrashes the men Darkness lurks, never see light again Wicked winds whip ice into their veins Washed overboard, only their bones remain Davie Jones laughs, his heart beats below Torrent grows louder, the storm begins to grow Men are few but still the storm rages on Waves surge higher, all prayers are gone Serpents circle round, eyes glowing red Long lost souls, chanting from the dead Rocks ahead, sure death is known The hull is smashed and all the wreckage is thrown Water burial!

Additional

Into the Crypt is a self-released six-track debut recorded in May 1994 at Harrow Productions in Losser, Netherlands, co-produced by the band and originally mastered by Bernard Bod. Sonically it occupies a heavily rhythm-forward position in the Dutch death/thrash hybrid tradition — raw but intelligible guitar tone, unusually prominent bass for the genre, restrained blast-beat usage, and an overwhelming emphasis on riff construction over technical display — placing it stylistically adjacent to Thanatos and late-era Messiah rather than the Florida or Gothenburg scenes. The 1994 lineup of Heuverhorst and Hemink (guitars), ten Broeke (bass), Brink (drums), and Wenneker (vocals) recorded what remained an almost entirely buried release until dual reissues by Dark Symphonies and The Crypt in 2016 brought it to wider underground attention, cementing its status as one of the most substantive overlooked artifacts of the early-90s Dutch extreme metal scene.

Tracklist

1. And Jesus Wept...(Intro) – 00:45

2. Crypt – 02:52 >

The dungeons opened Confront me The blaze burns my eyes Forsake me. Sworn secrecy House of death. Bound by promise Approval of signature See where Christ’s blood, Is streaming in the firmament. In remembrance Praise of lust. Trivial memories Be wiped out. Cold is the sight Yet intense heat. Visions now seen Behold the fucking crypt. A silence disturbed, breath the foul and Dark air Below the known lands Welcomes me a place even worse than Death. Insane I have become In this shit my life is done. Repentance is just a word Now, when my soul is deadly hurt

3. Beneath the Shades – 03:32 >

As the sunlight has dimmed Appear, moons with thousand faces. Beg gathered within my mind I will summon the ancient ones Encounter manifestations of the unholy Lead its strays in their way. Thou, gods of the darkside, awake And perform on me, beneath the shades. Rite of shades, be spoken In your presence I shall reside. Screen me through strange dimensions Open the ways to secret knowledge Show me the hidden oder in chaos Make me known to the roots of life Don’t resist, hear their voices when they Speak I speak now in tongues The evil ones prevail. Sodom, burnt down in wraith of God I resist the scorching flames. Process, thou ghost go death. Stare over mountains of madness Dark stars gloom in the bright sky. See the silenced sheep far away With the swallowing abyss inbetween. See the echoes repeating The haunted visions from the altar. Immortality within reach When you speak the rite of shades

4. Oxidized – 03:34 >

Ionizing the blood-corpuscles Haemorrhage is the be liquidated, Medieval odours unleashed As the unquenchable fire digests ‘Subtley’ in perforating a corpse Fire-enzymes, the now consume the Pulp. All eroded innards are exterminated Sockdologer before a fried death. Mouth-cavity swollen by gaseous pus. The bubbling methanic fumes gather. Soon I’ll be reduced to carbon-dioxides. Sustain the chemical metamorphosis A steril tomb of charred remains Oxidized Inflammation of the bursten red eyes Unrestainable pressure on the Tymphanitis Analyse the physical substance A thermodynamic increase of entropy. Eating the mucous secretion as dessert Complications grow worse a the flames Devour.

5. The Days You Worshipped Me – 06:33 >

As the mist magnifies The naive shelter of My mind. The stable statue I once was A distance is now inbetween Staring at the present Fully estranged from life Dogmatic dignity assumed. Ornaments of My church Now are shattered By great disbelief. But I am your God Cursed thou shall be. My creation lost Alienation it grew The swelling of blackness. The dying of a day Isd the end of a world Containing the death of a God. See the morningstar in the sky All My light is blackened. When the dawn is rising Fair becomes foul, and foul becomes fair. Solemn I will withdraw The abyss will swallow you. Underestimation of Evil Seduced by the Lord of Darkness. My last chapter with mankind How sad and depressed I am. Melancholy, when I recall The days you worshipped Me. My Might has become paralyzed By the denial of My existence. The Satan I once created Blamed Me for My mistakes. Rebellion against My authority You won’t be shone upon no more

6. The Indoctrinated Ones – 03:54 >

Sunday morning sets The church bells they toll. A cross in the sky See the rainbow alight. Converting the elected ones Before judgement day arrives. Awaiting for your God to come. Mutual inspiration to pray Insinuated appearance of love. Die, the indoctrinated ones. Below the beautiful surface Blackened waters, hypocrisy. Clerical opinions clash Children can’t conceive. The unity in Christ Is now blast. By holy verses tied Distanced from any discussion. Chains of freed made fly Its key along with the truth. Life’s crossroads Denied weakness. Obey biblical orders Anachronistic practice. No affection Abolishing Holy Commands. Be banished to eternity You fucking preacher of benefit.

7. Bless Me When I Die – 04:18 >

Frozen tears Face God’s throne A world lost Quest for home. Passing by No more fright. Spill the blood Leave the final sight. The call not yet received But the lord of death will come to take Me. A flash in black Claws of death Taking off My mortal coil. Final scream Bloodstained dagger Feel the relief Approach the silence. Flee the intense pain Flee the suffering Flee the suffocation Fleet the decadence. Bless me when I die. Transcending, end mortality Cross death’s doors, ritual of dying. No reconciliation, but intense hate Slow annihilation, world grows cold.

Tracklist

1. Prophecy of a Dying World – 06:14 >

I spoke to horrors of a dying planet Creatures of a drying sea Nature was forever altered, warped by reality A truth to me was then revealed, born on the wings of destiny Decaying in my silent grave I spoke to kings of heirless thrones An oath to me there was sung The prophecy of their bones I saw by the light of a dying sun A world drowned in blood Descent into ancient crypts of purity unpolluted Transformed to a point of light my essence reconstituted I prepare to carry my burden, prophet of a dying world Into the endless continuum Fated servant to mankind Born predestined to let sound The herald of our doom "And the empires will rise and grow mighty, Engulfing all humanity in their tireless domination, erasing The past and twisting the future... in ancient tombs forgotten Spirits will wither and die, and from the dust of these Crypts there shall rise an entity born of vengeful winds, And from his soul beings will spew forth, abominations Of consciousness who will corrupt and weaken the world, Twisting dreams into nightmares, creating new pain, a suffering That will last forever, and curse our lives through all time..." Apocalyptic visions invade, and the grave opens before me... I ascend from eternal crypts my purity reinstated Cleansed of my human faults I accept the existence to which I am fated Returned to my silent grave Mute witness to our end An oath it is that I now sing The harmony of my suffering I speak to those who shall forever be Twisted spirits who refuse to die Skeletons of forgotten kings In swollen tombs of man they lie I see by the light of a dying sun A world drowning in blood...

2. Spawn – 05:21 >

Within the tombs of the centuries The gods of the void awaken What has past is retribution The mirror of our damnation In the seeds of time Negative beings leave their spawn Demented obscenities manifest Ravenous appetite led by insanity - A thousand years of misery In the seeds of time My image appears in fury Raging through the centuries To avenge my progenitors For now that I am free The time is at hand No safety in my judgement When my vengeance engulfs the eart Damnation born upon pestilent winds Unleashing the fury of those reborn Armageddon descends upon apocalyptic horses Driven by warriors of hate Emissaries of vengeance ride forth from the sun Flames consume our dying worlds And all the blood shed by the past In violent glory shall cleanse the earth at last SPAWN - malevolent beings rise Ghastly hunger in their eyes SPAWN - The breed of abhorrence Mankind's abomination SPAWN - Devourers of the earth Creatures of the abyss SPAWN - Precursors to our failure Children of the beyond

3. Ancestral Shadows – 06:51 >

Awoken from dormancy I find myself alone Standing in primordial ruin Of an ancestry unknown, a race of elder gods Dreams caress my agony as I live in decay My spirit pines for a time before humanity Voices haunt my sleep As I travel by the moon Vibrations from the dawn of time Shadows beckon me Cannot resit my heritage I leave behind a corpse Torn back through the ages Through the memories and dust To lands of ancestral shadows... Arrived my visions a reality My reign to survive eternity An emperor of chaos A ghost of insanity Enthroned I am now king Dominating prehistory A forgotten lord of blasphemy But soon the time shall come When I awake in frenzy To slaughter the invaders Known to me as man

4. The Unearthly (A Quest) – 04:45 >

I am sinking into caverns of my mind Dark abyss has opened Into breathless midnight I lose identity Subterranean descent into ultra conscious non existence Abstractions are elusive, reality confining Illusions are redefining As I approach my genetic core As I approach the unearthly World of grotesque images Abrasive complexities threaten Symbolic metaphors approach Thoughts devour thoughts Through my being unexplored Times ceases continuity Shroud of weightless life Plunging into depths unknown The unearthly - Isolated within Sub atomic reasoning Creatures uncertain distances Between reality and consciousness Temporal existence disintegrates into micro molecular infinity Representations of ideas cloud eternal skies beyond the minds eye Thoughts devour, thoughts devour, thoughts devour...

Ritually Abused is truly a forgotten gem primed for rediscovery. Sounding like a demonic blend of Possessed and Slayer it sounds as fresh and relevant today as it did when it was first released over 25 years ago. Touching on moments of death-metal, grind, thrash and speed this record is the ultimate document of a metal band that ‘shoulda been huge’!

Tracklist

1. The End – 00:16 >

The End is near!

2. Ritually Abused – 04:42 >

Satan, He lives today in children who's minds decay Their elders have lost their way From Jesus to Baphomet, and worlds of Unholy Are used to alter their brains They're teaching them worship of evil Not heavens in the sky So wake up and see today some children have no escape Or freedom, or hope to pray They're banished from the normal play Actions of their elders are focused on unfocused ways They're learning ato live out their life In sick mollific ways Saddened priest of white religious worship Fall to their knees in disbelief Shattered hopes ot one essential worship The lord almighty "Jesus Christ" Time will pass though both religious last The books of both will flood the earth Future or past, existence of Black Mass Has threatened the meaning of our birth Weak little children six years into life Are forced to betray the blessed cross Caressing the Dead and tasting the blood Tormented and ritually abused, so it is done The words of the priest The rings of the bell pollute the air The chalice is drained, Satan is praised A frantic orgy ends the Mass Impression is made, a young mind is stained The knowledge of freedom denied First had come guilt the parents had built A trouble mind corrupts the child Involuntary use of Black Evil religion Foul Witchcraft and spells of Demonism Young mind amounting to a smidgen A forgotton child of Unholyman's upbringing

3. Death and Innocence – 04:59 >

[Act I] Executed for something that you've never done Your life has barely even just begun You swear every last one would pay You promise to return from the Grave As a man of religion you will die But the promise of God is lies Your faith was given all in vain Hope - mere illusion in your brain Free from grace of Holy Rest Absolute nocturnal death Soon lie in the grave awaiting those to be repaid The trial - how long you have waited for this day Guilt is what you hope they won't say But luck forgot your name this day! Sent to Death Die No delay Now in your grave you rot, deep inside your cemetary plot Your epitaph spells out lies, as a friend looks down and cries Break the brace of certain death, return from your eternal rest Strike out from your very grace, soon they all will be repaid As you rot awaiting your great transition Patience is a virtue in this plight Hell's price for rebirth and reprisal Long awaited Many Full Moon nights [Act II] Now the time has ended, your corpse has fallen to dust Your Blessed Death the jury's invitation For you're falsified unjust Now you'll gain the satisfaction of your unrelenting thirst But the Hell that's expected now a violence getting worse [Act III] My soul is reborn with hatred and scorn For vengeance of death and not prison Beware of my toll I'll torture your soul From the Black of Hell I have risen The jurors die in cold blood in their bed For the verdict that left me dead And for the lawyer the went unsaid A pathetic man from Havard now dead The judge will be torn at his seams For the hammer that smashed my dreams Now they're all here in Hell They learned a lesson I can tell [Act IV] Free from all the misery, I killed those who sentenced me Sent to die at twenty-three, now I roam the fiery sea A case with no evidence ends in Death an Innocence Easy people are misled Soon victims of Undead

4. No Morals – 02:26 >

There was a man who had a plan that took a bit of wit He took the earth, made human birth And left it all to sit With just one guide he's set asidein which we were to learn To choose his path or feel his wrath and go to Hell and burn! We all believe in this way Believing that we should all pray Life slips away No more beliefs As violence and death comes our way Its all the same, quite like a game but not upon a board A complex one, not for fun - created by the Lord You cannot win by choosing sin kwoning Hell awaits Just sing his song and play until you reach the Gate Such a struggle always trouble, not what you'd been taugh Turn to sin and soon begin to loose your train of thought Now to you, nothing true - you've lost your sense of care And now the game is not the same and was never even fair

5. Friday's Child – 04:55 >

The night was dark/moon was full/fog was thick/the air was cool The sense was set without regret, all that come shall not forget They gathered here and all did follow To greet the child of no tomorrow To see the speed of life and death To feel the strength of Satan's breath It happens every hundred years When mortals choose their strengh in fear They'll sacrifice a newborn child Bred to die all the while Friday's child will die at birth, a test of faith to prove their worth They conjure Satan to bring him higher The infant screams while bathing in fire The Mass of Hoods that make the crows close to Death Chants get loud.... The Witch is cast into labor.... She pleads but nothing can save her Sound of birth - hear it cry Soaked in blood - ready to die Altar of Fire burning hot This is Hell, heaven is naugh Feel the fire, hear the call The sickness of Satan fills them all Watch the saviour take his final fall!

6. Off with Your Head – 03:35 >

After the victim's final plea, from the scene you will flee Then you wait until the night, keep yourself out of sight Hiding out in the trees, cold sweat as you freeze French come hunt you down, await the trial back in town Off with your head! Soon you'll be dead! Bloody and red! Corporation Pull-in Evidence piles high, jury looks you in the eye Primitive society, convicts you - you're guilty From your window you will see where your figure is to be You can't sleep, you can't eat 'cause you know that you're Dead meat Time has come, you will die - see the fear in your eyes Drop the blade, hear the chop - now your life and all will stop Off with your head! Now you are dead! The blood is so red! Off with your head! Off with your head!

7. The Henchman – 04:47 >

I was born "The Master of Death", creation of Hell "Lucifer's Breath" Sent to kill drifting through time, entering souls controlling their minds I killed the King, I shot the Pope I raped your wife and then make her choke Once as a priest I killed a goat Now in the night I cut your fucking throat! Day after day, year after year Breeding the dead, the reason I am here I never die - I'm Death it selves I fill the ground and I fill the shelves Electric chair - I pulled the switch And in the past I drowned a Witch I killed the Jews they threw in a ditch I put the dead into their crypt I stalk you/I hunt you/I chase you/I rape you! I shoot you/I choke you/I stab you/I burn you! I beat you/I axe you/I drowm you/I chop you! They bleed as they plead as they cry and then die!

8. Pirate's Night – 04:39 >

Cannon balls are waiting - heavy, hard, and black Waiting for the time, in which we will attack Jolly Roger is flying high, seeks you like a scout Treasure, death, and piracy is what we're all about We climb abroad your ship to penetrate your neck To leave you in the blood spilled across the deck And if we let you live you'll have to walk the plank You know you can't survive this homicidial prank With vultures above and serpents below Out on the high seas there is no place to go It's Pirate's Night, Pirate's Night They're out to kill, they set sail tonight We'll sail up the coast to rip a little more And leave behind the helpless ships To coat the ocean's floor Blackbird and Captain Hook A few that keep the faith! We all stand together Though each other we hate With the heavens above and Hell below We still pledge to kill, to rape and to rogue

9. Turn of a Screw – 04:13 >

The Devil's dungeon has trapped inside Your cynical thoughts of death Endless suspicion, driven solely To trouble your knowledge of release Twisting and turning I'm urging Questioned oppression that you deplore Searching for answers, there are none in store All leading to reasons of when you will die Soundless hysteria echoes so loudly Through channels of your brain Shredding your lucidity Caused by the constant driving crave Seeking and searching you look for the key Too clever, so never will you be free Harassing and haunting Excision of mercy, all ceasing of soundness Confounded you lose The foolishness of yourself has found you Locked up in a cage Discretion of your brain Has left you knowledgeless of your Age You know not yourself, you know not existence Your insight on life is unknown You trouble yourself with Theory of Death Inversion in you has shown Your mind is in pieces, your conscience is dead Your activities are restained You've hounded yourself with Theory of Death You've driven yourself insane

10. Kiss Me, Kill Me – 05:02 >

I met there by the stairs She seemed to catch my eye An unkwon love sent from above The last before I die We carried on through the years, getting worse and worse As time went on our love was gone, never ending course I couldn't see why she left me All I could see was death I'd made my mind to leave behind My body, my life, my breath I'll buy a gun, have some fun Blowing my brains out the back A helpless try to make her cry As I perish into the black She kissed me, she killed me The love that onve filled me turned black inside my heart She kissed me, she killed me Life no longer thrills me - death to me my only friend Soon to be just a memory I sit and stare at the gun On this night, a silent night My life of death has begun On to my lips th cold barrel sits Aiming for my instant death I pull the lever, its now or never As I breath my final breath She kissed me, she killed me The bullet that fills me will stop the sorrow and hell She kissed me, she killed me You know I go willingly leaving this world behind

11. Rigor Mortis – 02:50 >

Asleep at dawn, awake at dust Arise in the night time my right time for lust Morbid dreams, unreal it seams Down to the morgue as our Lord lies asleep Creeping in unleashing sin To invade the decayed corpse within I love the touch almost too much Sensing a thrill from the chill as I touch Stiff and cold she lied Her life has gone to hide Her fluids have all dried The smell of death inside Reeking, leaking As I plunge deep inside Searching for love that I knew I would find Down at the morgue there are stored at this time Bodies that rot, lie dormant till their time Awaiting the seeds that I bring Relentless affection, perfection, injection No presence of mercy in sight Love after death, no heartbeat no breath the contents of this horrid plight Losing my mind falling in love with the dead!
