Tracklist

1. Casa Nefanda (1966 E.V.) – 05:10 >

Age of Satan announced In an ill-spoken house, the black dawn broke Casa nefanda, demonology, tantrism, hermeticism Universe of cursed poems and veiled symbology Epicenter of force, power and wisdom Casa nefanda, the mecca of satanism But to profane eyes, just a place of orgies Satanic marriages being performed In a part of the world where the devil has inhabited The hectorian uprising was formed To bring to infinity, this magical legacy LAUS SATANUS! With equal importance it stays alive Today in the hands of wise Satanists Casa nefanda, Lillith, Samael, Leviathan Goetic museum of Pereira The house of the eternal occult master Casa nefanda, Ordo Draconis Infernum LAUS SATANUS!

2. Dragon Serpent – 03:35 >

The awakening of the inner flame, On the path of the ""I” supreme Reveals the inverted illumination For true transformation To meet arcane wisdom, The Dragon Serpent is the guide, With the true will of evil You will know the immortal spirit. The path of stellar knowledge Under the rays of the black sun to illuminate In the depths of the accursed abyss, The secrets of infinite brightness, Dragon Serpent

3. Idol of the Weak – 05:07 >

The tears that flow from the rotten face Ages of weakness, a “god” of poverty He who is moved by this cry Will be crucified beside the fallen idol The current law is that of the strong Knowing yourself you will know The mysteries of life and mistress death Through the serpent's tortuous path there is no sin as a restriction The awakening of the inner fire Will open the gates of temptation damned are those who remain in chains under the thick cloak of ignorance upon bended knees remain There is no solution for them For slaves shall forever serve! Damned are those who live alienated In the shackles of fear, they live caged Waiting for him who was hung on the cross. Cursed be!

4. Athanor – 04:41 >

Enjoy the now without fear Hurry slowly, vigorously Athanor, magick of evil Always wielding the opposer’s weapon Doing your will is the law Athanor, magick of evil if you want to be a king in this life Always proclaiming freedom Under the sign of evil The doctrine of black discipline Makes you understand That only by clayey terrain and dark roads We will arrive glorious. The one that made itself in this existence Master by excellence You have met your primordial “I” It's Satan Trimegistus The true will of evil.

5. Baphomet – 04:11 >

Bearer of alchemical symbols Master of ancient secrets Carries the torch of Wisdom between the horns, The one that was Handed over to mortals Absolute light of power Manifested sign of evil Revealer of knowledge in the primordial I Mediator of what is above and what is below Holder of creation and destruction Known as Baphomet the pagan God.

6. L.H.P – 04:35 >

In the new age The awakening, To the path Of the strong, to walk When in the deepest abyss Immersed Then you will know The secrets of the universe On the way to freedom Where the law is to do one's will, The triumph of the great transformation Expanding, illuminated soul

7. O.D.I (Hermanos de la sombra) – 03:49 >

We are legion Angels of primordial chaos Holders of the true will of evil. The dragon serpent, our sacred sign Without worry or fear, we will walk side by side In eternal delight for satanic awakening Under its winged cloak We will forever be outcast demons Descendants of the first flame The one who proclaimed the last cursed poets whom through it ascended. The teachings of the grand copt are preserved In the hands of great sages Keeping the flame burning From the Devil's Legacy

Notes

Bestial Manifestations of Malevolence and Death, the debut full-length from Seattle, Washington-based Oxygen Destroyer, was independently released on April 5th, 2018 (later reissued via Redefining Darkness Records). A four-piece blackened death/thrash outfit, the band delivered 10 tracks of kaiju-themed aggression clocking in at just under 30 minutes.

Lineup: Jordan Farrow — guitars, vocals; Joey Walker — guitars; Ben Williams — bass; Chris Craven — drums. Recorded live in 2017 at The Metalsmiths, Inc., mixed and mastered by Cody J. Brumlow.

The sound draws on blackened thrash and death metal with rapid riffing and aggressive vocals, comparable to Hypnosia, Deströyer 666, Desaster, and Vader. Lyrical themes center on kaiju destruction, nuclear annihilation, and humanity's downfall. Digital formats predominated at release, with later vinyl reissues.

- Cleansing the Earth of Humanity's Existence, Live at Cryptatropa Bar ( Olympia)

Tracklist

1. Born of Nuclear Energy – 01:29

2. Cleansing the Earth of Humanity's Existence – 05:43 >

Awakened by the ravages of the Hydrogen Bomb A God Incarnate brimming with unspeakable hatred Thermonuclear energy coursing through his veins Transmogrified by the arrogance of humankind Spewing forth the fires of atomic radiation Slaughtering countless waves of innocent civilians Petrified families burn in agony beneath his breath Cleansed by the flames of Hiroshima City remnants lie shrouded in darkness Desecrated by the immortal entity of ruination (Leads: Walker) City remnants lie shrouded in darkness Desecrated by the immortal entity of ruination Deities of the apocalypse shall arise

3. Onslaught of the Precambrian Hordes – 02:45 >

Dwelling within the sea since the dawn of time Ancient crustaceans awaken from their dormancy Chemical pollution rejuvenating the horde Merciless abnormalities seeking to deprive the earth of life Swarming with detestation across the feeble world Relentless aberrations birthing the embodiment of depravity Tearing through the throat of the infant bestial Laughing as the child chokes on his own blood Sensing a disturbance, the God Incarnate rises Unfathomable rage overwhelming his mind Spiral rays ignite the battleground, desecrating Tokyo's remains Defenseless, the demon falls to his knees Vomiting floods of gore

4. Subsumed Within the Bowels of the Perennial Monstrosity – 03:18 >

Bio-genetically altered by the sickening effects of radiation A photosynthetic entity consumed with everlasting detestation Spear like tendrils lashing out as acid guts spew from it's jaws Wretched roots of death sprouting forth Raping the soils of Earth. Subsumed within the bowels of the Perennial Monstrosity (Leads: Farrow) Subsumed within the bowels of the Perennial Monstrosity (Leads: Walker)

5. Summoning the Moth of Divinity – 03:13 >

Day turns to night as smoke engulfs the sky Conjured by the flames of the God Incarnate Laughing with contentment at the sight of dying vitims Cries of death fill the air Gathered amongst the ancient altar, tribal cults pray in desperation Beckoning to their sacred deity, a hallowed conservator of the human race Ascending from the caverns of her holy shrine A creature of enlightenment sworn to abolish the bringers of desolation Clouds of pulverous scales descending from her wings Blistering bolts of energy weakening the wretched behemoth of death (Leads: Farrow) Grasped within her talons, the tyrant beast subdued Screeching with anger as he's sealed beneath the ocean depths

6. Vanquished by the Unrelenting Devastation of the Celestial Behemoth – 04:07 >

Conceived within the darkness of the mystifying universe An interstellar entity transcending the cosmos Brimming with malevolence, hatred undefined A savage aberration seeking to eradicate mankind Grinning with malice and deceit As he soars across the solar system Constructing his crystallized fortress through telekinetic mastery Incomprehensible energy channeled from within the planetary core (Leads: Walker) Grinning with malice and deceit As he soars across the solar system

7. Bio-Mechanically Imprisoning the Sacred Beast of the Apocalypse – 03:47 >

Putrefied embodiment of death A festering carcass brimming with animosity Bionic tendrils pierce the decomposed flesh Rejuvenating the beast through cybernetic necromancy Blasphemous aspirations for rebirth Souls of the dead shall roam the earth Augmented beyond recognition Eternal synthetic damnation Morbid recollections of the past Infiltrate the artificial cerebrum Releasing the mechanical aberration From the clutches of human scum Blasphemous aspirations for rebirth Souls of the dead shall roam the earth

8. Supersonic Devastator – 01:24 >

Primordial creatures arise from the depths of oblivion Bolstered by the horrors of thermonuclear radiation Blistering through the skies as they feast upon humankind Cities lie in ruin, destruction redefined Mutilated carcasses clutched within their talons Everything will be devoured by the winged aberrations

9. Death to the False King – 01:04 >

Wretched pretender, feeble aggressor, shunned throughout history Tonight I'll ensure your demise for defiling my legacy Grasping your throat as I cringe in disgust at your meaningless existence I knew that tuna eating monster wasn't up to much

10. Atomic Breath – 03:04 >

Conjured by the atom bomb Hate encompassing deity Destined to ensure the extinction of humanity Infiltrating Tokyo Death is overflowing Dorsal plates upon his back ominously glowing Jaws opened wide Searing rays unleashed Innocent women and children completely vaporized Countless suffering victims Devoured by the flames Consistently enduring the perpetual detestation of the beast (Leads: Walker) Ashes of the dead litter the ground, scorched by atomic breath Radioactivity intensifying rapidly as the Sacred Beast of the Apocalypse brings forth death

Absu - Tara (2001)

Information

Artist – Absu

Album – Tara

Label – Osmose Productions

Released – May 23rd, 2001

Type – Full-length

Genre – Thrash Metal; Black Metal

The album is separated in two chapters.
Phase One: Ioldánach's Pedagogy: Tracks 1-7.
Phase Two: The Cythraul Klan's Scrutiny: Tracks 8-13.

The band had planned to record and release the album in 2000, but King Diamond was already recording their album "House of God" in the same studio that Absu was going to record "Tara", so Absu's album would be delayed until 2001. In this situation is where Proscriptor took the opportunity to ask King Diamond for a collaboration on the album, which King accepted. However, due to label issues, King Diamond could not appear in the album credits with his stage name, so he had to appear under the name "Masthema Mazziqim", the same pseudonym used by Francis Richard Sleavin, who was the vocalist of Dolmen, the first name of Absu.

"Manannán" is a re-recorded version of the song of same name which originally appeared on the EP "In the Eyes of Ioldánach" (1998).

Warning - Osmose Productions CD presses may contain a copy-protection method which renders the CD completely unreadable in PCs and certain modern Hi-Fi systems. This isn't indicated anywhere on the packaging.

Recording

Recorded between September-December 2000 at Nomad Recording Studios, Carrollton, Texas.
Co-produced by Absu.

Tracklist

1. Tara – 01:56 >

[Instrumental] (Included in the Tara booklet is "Poetick Magick" written by Proscriptor: Ioldánach's Accepted Wisdom, In Prefaced Tense: In the great strategy of bout, there will be three thousand score They will do as they see fit They are neither younger nor older Than them, in their klans; A triumph declared: three tyrants will conquer Surmounting for undying candor As one and three will stand as one; Their swords blemish with crimson clots That's a great honor, killing one by one, and "A great incentive," according to them If they go to where the king is killed, then They will compose (he shall decompose)- They will compile a final victory for his fortitude Posed within his mind)

2. Pillars of Mercy – 04:21 >

[Verse 1] I still admire the flow of echoing horns Mimicking blows so boldly, I hear I stand visibly, high, on this splendid bastion To remember a High King, a tyrant of no fear I am the first son, a commander with no father "Fortuitous doom," the last of his predictions I'll take advantage by igniting the balusters Preparing enraged flames with sweltering speed [Chorus 1A] These are the Pillars of Mercy! Today, I am callous Tomorrow, I am king Immortal, strong, exultant And conquering [Chorus 1B] Pillars of Mercy! My song and my word are iniquitous Gathering assemblies in days gone by! [Chorus 1C] Fire burns with the Pillars of Mercy! My chariot races through saw-toothed hills And hurls through every valley and mere [Chorus 1D] Pillars of Mercy! Watchtowers collapse before the lift of the twilight I am swift in battle, my voice is heard Pillars of Mercy! [Verse 2] Frost, fire, and wind are pelting all the columns There is no dilution for them to fight again Only three chariots are seen on charred plains Through all the throngs and clusters, lambs and stallions If you should speak to me now Then I will clamber Tara's pinnacle Why my father? Another damning scuffle? I still admire the sound of echoing horns [Chorus 2A] Those were the Pillars of Mercy! Frenzied vultures gnawed the necks of dead men As the sturdy, gilded columns had seethed [Chorus 2B] Pillars of Mercy! Enemies' blood spurted like volley sprigs The blustery fight was planned, then fought [Chorus 2C] Flames flayed on the Pillars of Mercy! Their vapid minds were troubled and sides were pierced And warlike deeds had been fulfilled [Chorus 2D] Pillars of Mercy! We saluted chieftains on the regal Tara We hailed the tyrants that governed our waters Pillars of Mercy! Ah! Strike! [Verse 3] There shall be no lack of dignity For those who oppose them! There shall be no lack of dignity For those who oppose them! There will be! There will be Pillars of Mercy!

3. A Shield with an Iron Face – 03:22 >

[Mong¡n:] A Cairn warrior dressed in his harness feeling fury and frenzy His silky top had blood stained gauze stretched across his pecks His tartan had lines of symmetry running east and west An embellished shield with an iron face was embraced in his left hand [Bridge - Eremon (Chieftain of Cairn):] "I welcome thee, o' victorious, I'm skirmishing...at the lift!" "I welcome thee, o' victorious, I'm skirmishing...by the dark!" [Mong¡n:] He rushed to feed the fire As honor gained him a home - He veered beyond the pyres The Son of Cairn sat enthroned An iron shield gaped toward the sky With oak wood and leather backing; Reprisal lead the way to his mind And so it did [Cairn Warrior's Question of Vindication:] "C¡ bhfuilimid ag dul amarach?" ("Where are we marching tomorrow?") [Chorus - Iold¡nach:] A shield with an iron face gapes towards the sky The death of a man is never going to die A resolute falcon gawks back at the armor - On the wing, yet on the lifting hour [Repeat Bridge - Eremon (Chieftain of Cairn)]

4. Manannán – 06:39 >

I am a wave: on the rapt Cythrául I am a flood: across the croggy plain I am a wind: of seven gales I am a tear: the Sun lets fall I am Manannán Mac Lir Noble warrior of lycanthropy I am Fachtna High King To shake thy cloak shall bring outbreak I am a tide: that drags to engulfment I am a current: a compass towards Visnech I am a tempest: the onslaught of outburst I am a zephyr: theirs is second pain I am Manannán Mac Lir Avatar from sail to sea Thy horse Aonbharr Grand Steed Chariots forever lead I am an ocean's womb: of all abysms I am a blaze: for every burning bathym I am a lure: of the plumbless benthos I am a breaker: bottomlessness doom I am Manannán Mac Lir Shape-changer; Lar of deep Thy sword Fragarch "The Answerer..." Remember me, thou art all wind And back with gusts thou shalt return I'm the hawk: above this cliff, behind the waves I'm the thorn: exude this rose, yet fleece the sky ...FLEECE THE SKY I'm the hill: where poets walk and Tara lies I'm the throne: from a tantalizing glimpse ...FROM A TANTALIZING GLIMPSE Hear the thunder roll I am Manannán And fear the sky shall fall

5. The Cognate House of Courtly Witches Lies West of County Meath – 04:19 >

(Cairn Warrior's Appetency of Invultuation:) I am the one to seek the courtly witch - She is the one to find me I am the one to yearn the dazzling bitch - She is the one to bind me So I say, the spell has begun! (Tea (Courtly Witch):) "The darkness is starting and control is done..." (Cairn Warrior:) Stones of power inside this sphere Are stark stones of magick - I am joining the mystic ring With this woman, as we implore We do implore I am aiding the mystic writ; I am gifted knowledge from deep wells! (Chorus - Cairn Warrior's First Myaltic Rite:) Candle of fire, candle of might Create my desires here on this night - This candles stream is suddenly flaming higher! Bring to me my heart's desire My words of strength are suddenly hung So I proudly state this spell has begun! (Cairn Warrior:) Stones of power within ire Are strong stones of cabal I am joined in the magick round With this bitch, as we implore We shall explore With Paralda by my side I am granted sylphs and zephyrs! (Cairn Warrior's Second Myaltic Rite:) Show me the rings of your cosmic fire Make my pathway carved and clear Give me a code that's no will of mine To show me your presence is here! (Repeat Cairn Warrior's Second Myaltic Rite) (Chorus II - Cairn Warrior's Last Myaltic Rite:) Courtly witch of the beast - Courtly bitch of the daring arm I am your tyro, yet never alarmed! A dash of thistle, and in my dreams - Give me the silver-gilt key That will unlock the spell... Courtly witch, assist me!

6. She Cries the Quiet Lake – 04:10 >

(Cairn Warrior in Advocated Manner:) Stones of power Stillness of her spawn Gems of symbols Re-illuminating Dawn She cries the quiet lake Weeping waters Taciturnity Found She cries the quiet lake Dripping ruptures Immortality Bound Enduring: death is mine to keep Timelessness: unborn in timely shape Balancing: between stone and sky Promulgate: lamentations Continually: she wails and she whines Nonetheless: linking stone to sky Leveling: the tarns to the tides Circulate: limpid-forming tears (Tea's Diktat:) "The darkness is starting and control is done: The cosmic light is fading, as the shadow's won." (Chorus - Cairn Warrior in Encouraged Mode:) It's the lake of your liquid, glass heart It's bringing your writ; it's bringing you tears It's filling your thirst and never with fears It's the tears of my liquid, glass heart (Repeat Chorus - Cairn Warrior in Encouraged Mode)

7. Yrp Lluyddawc – 01:51

8. From Ancient Times (Starless Skies Burn to Ash) – 03:53 >

Blazing to their pikes Turning to dust Gusting with the wind They (still) dream of an older delusion Reigning, raining Dampening the empire Their excursion burns with the ashes Calm lakes mirrored Glistening everywhere They rove through the waters and fires Silent seas paused Enlightening low light Their visions for imperishability The weakened flesh Expecting downfall Their ashes spread through lightless, starless skies The Eminence Not expecting wind They (now) think of a newer illusion [Chorus:] PRAISE - The ancient times AS EARTH - Equates their end COMMAND - The ancient times LIKE TARA - Shall never pretend DIES - Irae, dies illa QUIDQUID - Latet adparebit NIL - Inultum remanebit DEPOSE - Towards ancient times [Repeat Chorus] [Repeat All Verses In Reversed Order Excluding The First & Last]

9. Four Crossed Wands (Spell 181) – 04:46 >

[Chorus I:] I'm the Knight of Wands- Yodh is in the name I'm swift and violent: TRANSIENT! The fiery part of Fire- I'm a lightning flash Between the symbol And the natal force [Chorus II:] She's the Queen of Wands- H© is in the name She's fermenting, yet TRANSMITTING! The watery part of Fire- She's quick to receive Between the surface And the process of (pro) creation Kan! King! 51st Hexagram A warrior in complete armor With wand in the left hand and torch in the right. (181) Su­! Queen! 17th Hexagram Her crown is topped with a winged sphere And rayed with flames. (181) [Chorus III:] He's the Prince of Wands- Vau is in the name He's manifesting, but TRANSCENDING! The airy part of Fire- He's the "Dying God!" Between the virtue And the Leader of his caste Y® King! Y® King! 42nd Hexagram A shrouded warrior in full-scale armour- On his chest, he bears the sigil "TO MEGA QHRION." [Chorus IA:] FOUR CROSSED WANDS! Ž Queen! Ž Queen! 27th Hexagram Her crown is surged with a disque of the Sun And once again, rayed with fire [Repeat Chorus IA] "They observe no regular rule in the ordering of their hearts." [Repeat Chorus IA] [Chorus IV:] She's the Princess of Wands- H© is in the name She's crystallizing, yet TRANSPOSING! The earthy part of Fire- She's absorbing Between the Silence And the 10th of May

10. Vorago (Spell 182) – 05:45 >

I am not limited to this Underworld I am settled in this Barrenness I am kept in this Emptiness I am not restricted to this Underworld. (182) I travel Earth in the train of You I offer Earth to reach the field of You I walk Earth to see the mark of You I proffer Earth to feel the lure of You.

[Repeat Chorus II] "O' you abyssic essence who is before me and who follows after my heart Usher me in at your usherings For you are the one who guides me Who escorts my anima under the Earth As I am a soul who is stark in Vorago."

11. Bron (Of the Waves) – 01:32 >

(Instrumental) Though this track is never sung or spoken, in the cd Booklet they have something wrote down for it, so here it is "Son of Lir and chief of the Tuatha de Danan; this name comes from the ancient Celtic word "bronnos," which is defined as a "crow" or "raven." It was quite instinctive that the Welsh should have changed the name Bron, whom Irish legend had given them as the brother of Manannán, into Bran, that they might canonize him." (Manannán mac Lir, Études Celtiques, VI, p.253) ---Proscriptor McGovеrn---

12. Stone of Destiny (...for Magh Slecht and Ard Righ) – 07:46 >

[Verse 1] We are three high kings in honor And we are the midst of Dagda's spell We are three armored forces and We are the gold-torqued leaders Three wild horsemen Three fearless in combat Three gold-crowned conjurers of clash, yet Three clannish chiefs from the Kingdom of Túath Mide [Verse 2] The leading, foremost tyrant The subsequent tormentor And past intimidator of Cythraul Are impending Has there ever been a better idol than Dagda? Will there ever be a better icon than myself? [Verse 3] In the eyes of myself, I fervently speak The trio goes out at dawn Fiercely, we plan to fight our assailants Three of us versus three thousand complete In the eyes of myself, I adroitly scream [Chorus] We will arrive at the Stone of Destiny (Tara!) We will reach the perdition of Ibid (Cythraul!) [Verse 4] Invincible we are to their spears Intrepidly we occupy our posts A forecast of destiny now Invisible they are to their hands Insolently they amuse their own pride Interchangeability, interchangeability [Repeat Verse] With the sway of myself, weather means disaster I affirm each day for the men of the brave... [Repeat Verse] With the sway of myself, weather means disaster I affirm each day for the men of the brave... [Verse 5: King Diamond] As our swords of steel, their mead, and courage are fused Is it not the throne for our Master of the Gulch? On its trim are rings of pearls, polished One seat remains near the jaded citadel! [Spoken] The plains of adoration do lie somewhere below Tara, way below Tara, as a matter of fact Sometimes give as Moyslaught and as always, Crom Cruach is welcomed [Repeat Verse] With the sway of myself, weather means disaster I affirm each day for the men of the brave... [Spoken] The notorious Klan stands by the ramparts at Tara where all enemies are approaching Being bound by a geis, the three have no choice but to stand against the feeble units Enveloping in an opaque mist, they suddenly find themselves in a magical place where they are received by the deity Manannán and a courtly witch Finally, they begin to walk up the steep grassland of Tara, with wand and sword, which enables them to distinguish the truth from the... [Verse 6: King Diamond] Lies! It is the chair for our Master of the Tor It is embellished with bullion, marked It remains on top of the lofty mound It streams gray and silver lining It will be an accolade given to us That is, by the third of the last king

13. Tara (Recapitulation) – 01:45 >

[Instrumental] (Included in the Tara booklet is "Poetick Magick" written by Proscriptor: The Cythrául Klan's Inherited Perception in Decisive Tense: We are not the ones who will sing without any hesitation Of our crusade, although we are almighty; We will sing of a battle from the hill Paying homage to the first two leaders: Dagda and Manannán We are guardians of the swiftest gales- Masters of many lands and seas are in attendance The waters are likе unexpected tеars that fall from the sky- That is, to the depths of the supreme Cythrául On the heights of Tara, in County Meath We are now signs of intention We are now vipers in quiet lakes We are merciful pillars, yet We are significance of a legend- We are masters of the Hall.)

Notes

The Nocturnal Silence is the debut full-length by Stockholm, Sweden blackened death metal four-piece Necrophobic, released on August 2nd, 1993 through Black Mark Production; the album documents the early lineup of Anders Strokirk — lead vocals, David Parland — guitars, keyboards, lyrics, and principal riff construction, Tobbe Sidegård — bass and backing vocals, and Joakim Sterner — drums, lyrics, and songwriting. Recorded and mixed at Studio Sunlight in March 1993, engineered by Lars Lindén and produced, engineered, and mixed by Tomas Skogsberg with Necrophobic, it keeps the compressed Stockholm death metal studio character but pushes it toward tremolo-driven black/death riffing, ritual melodic lead phrasing, and occult atmosphere closer to Dissection, Unanimated, and Grotesque than to straight HM-2 death metal. The lyrical frame follows death, darkness, Satanism, anti-Christianity, ritual invocation, and nocturnal religious inversion, with the track sequence using short instrumental or atmospheric passages as separators inside an otherwise riff-dense death metal structure. The first Black Mark CD appeared as BMCD 40; a small Cargo Records Germany US-market pressing substituted the short instrumental “Shadows of the Moon” where most European and later editions carried “Inborn Evil,” while subsequent reissues through Hammerheart Records, Painkiller Records, and Karmageddon Media standardized “Inborn Evil” across CD and vinyl variants; no album-specific cover-song bonus track is documented for the core release. Reception fits its tier as a Swedish underground/independent debut that later became a reference point for early blackened death metal: not a charting commercial release, but a heavily cited early-1990s bridge between Stockholm death metal production and the darker melodic black/death direction that would define much of Necrophobic’s later catalogue.

Additional

Track 5 of this CD has a nice history: the first European pressing by Black Mark Production had noted track 5 as "Shadows of the Moon", a short (1:14) quasi-instrumental in the booklet and on the back cover, but by mistake they pressed "Inborn Evil" as the song on the CD. Approx. 1000 CDs were pressed for the US market by Cargo Records Germany where track 5 was noted as "Shadows of the Moon" in the booklet and on the back cover and where "Shadows of the Moon" is also pressed on CD. This record is the one and only pressing with this instrumental song "Shadows of the Moon".

All other European reissues by Hammerheart Records, Painkiller Records and Karmageddon Media have "Inborn Evil" noted on the back cover/booklet and the song "Inborn Evil" pressed on the CD/LP.

Tracklist

1. Awakening... – 04:25 >

[Music is by Parland/Sterner] [Lyrics are by Sterner] My prayers have been answered I'm no longer a victim of God I died for the right master The one that I will serve They'll believe my soul is resting But how can they be so wrong This is where life begins Where it will be everlasting As a reincarnated soul I'm rising in this unholy kingdom A paradise made for the immortals Where your corpse shall be our feast Underneath the blackened ground An unholy ritual is soon to begin Gathering for a black mass As I speak the words of Satan As darkness falls Spirits are set free As darkness fall Awakening of the dead From the chalice filled with blood We drink and increase the immortal power United in a dance of death To cause damnation against the false As you call upon your fake God Devastation is filling the air Rising through the gates of hell Retaliation of the evil ones [Backing vocals are by Tobias Sidegård:] As darkness falls Spirits are set free As darkness fall Awakening of the dead

2. Before the Dawn – 04:22 >

At dawn the prophecies were told Demonic spells surrounded the moon Infernal flames enlightened the altar Where the lord awaited the human sacrifice Before the dawn of time The devil was cursed from heaven Condemned to the abyss of hell Satan seeks for the merciless revenge In the shadows of the damned The priest speaks the incantation A sacrifice to the lord Shall be made of human blood and flesh Awaiting at the altar of death The priest prepares for the dying Satan consumes the victim As the black mass comes to the end Priest: Lord of darkness, hear the call Come forth and bring us evil Arise from hell before the dawn And break the holy curse Priest: I sacrifice you bastard child The time has come to take your life Born of evil in the name of Christ You shall die!!!

3. Unholy Prophecies – 05:42 >

Worshipping laws of christianity Depending on the book of lies Read in the book of prophecies And speak the words of blasphemy Selling your soul for abandonment of God Living by the book, you ignore the truth of lies Following the cross for salvation when you're dead Servant of God, you are only living lies Born to pray to Christ To sanctify the priest Baptized to dying Is it your belief Live your life to the inverted cross The lord of hell is the one to sanctify Turn your back to christianity Belivers of God shall die People led to hell by christianity Masses betrayed for the power of greed By the holiness of our lord you shall crucify your God Followers of lies: Now you must decide See through the lies Leave the spell of Christ Dechristianize yourself To the unholy prophecies Born to pray to Christ To sanctify the priest Baptized to dying Is it your belief

4. The Nocturnal Silence – 05:13 >

Gaze at the twilight in the bloodred sky The evil gods are rising Shadows revealed by the darkened moon Behold the diabolical signs Nocturnal souls gathered through time Preparing the unholy rite Seeds of blasphemies on the hallowed ground Awaiting for the masters arrival A freezing silence descends in the night Cold winds wisper damnation Deathlike shadows rising on the ground The call of the lord of creation Evil waits in the realm beyond the sky As tears of blood fall down Lords of lords, in a time before time Are rising from the nocturnal silence Ancient lords of dreadful evil Enter through the seven gates Legions of scornful daemons Rising cross the bleeding sky Fear the nocturnal silence The return of the forces of evil The masters unholy arrival The circle shall be sealed

5. Inborn Evil – 04:54 >

[Music: Parland/Sterner] [Lyrics: Parland] Born in the hands of the church Nailed to the cross forever Insanity of denominations Trapped in a spell of evil Father, give me the power To enter the gate of time The passage of burned and crucified souls I must pass before I die Peace in my mind will never be found Betrayed by life, servant of suicide Born to earth with visions of hate Evil spells surrounding me No escape from ones fate Countless predictions of lies The dying enter heaven You must invoke the lord So you shall be forgiven Recieve the mercyful blessing Confess your sins to God By the gracious name of Christ No mercy for those who are evil Insanity - has soon taken over me Hypocrisy - to die is my destiny Sacrifice - soon I shall rest in peace No escape - from the gates of immortality

6. The Ancients Gate – 05:31 >

[Instrumental] [Music: Parland]

7. Sacrificial Rites – 04:52 >

"Let them curse it that, curse the day Who are skilful to rouse Leviathan" Cursed on son of darkness Hear the call beyond the gate Open the book of human flesh The daemons at the other side await Summon - the evil forces of the seven lords Secret seal before your eyes Call forth the evil gods Hear the prayers Master of the spell pass through the gate Bring the world tremendous evil Realm of chaos awaits Lords of desolation See the revelations across the blackened sky Break the curse Immortal ones pass through the ancients gate Worshipper of darkness Enchanter of the evil one Beyond the stars lies the gate Eternally locked from inside Gaze at the engraved cryptogram The diabolic sign of entrance The key to the realm of evil gods From where the sinful souls shall depart Master - open the gate of entrance Reveal the concealed forces of the astral lords Master - hear the eternal cries From the dwelling daemons at the other side

8. Father of Creation – 06:02 >

Enforced by priests of lies The injure time of an evil seed The altar of damnation Surrounds the victim for the daemon feed Gathering for the ritual Awaiting for the holy blood to flow Spirits scorning the christian empire Infesting the victim while blood comes forth [Chorus] Dawn has come for the invocation Experiencing the sacrificial rites Pain has gone beyond laceration The master of gods arise Another victim dies Disciples of God fear their destiny The damnation has come No escape from the flames of the deceased Chanting the hymn of death The wrath of Satan slowly ends their lives The last souls sees his time Preparing for the sacrifice soon to be done [Chorus] Burning candles light the darkened realm Final of the ritual visions never seen Time draws nearer the hour of dying The last victim led to the altar of disease

9. Where Sinners Burn – 04:11 >

Engraved on the altar The name was written in blood The sign of Lucifer's child Creation of the unborn son With inhuman force of evil The bastard child was born The crucifier of God and heaven Satan's son was born The one to kill the holy lord Crucifier of God and all holy creations Father to son, with Satan allied The antichrist feared Entering the kingdom above To destroy the empire of God With the vision of father Satan "See the flowing blood" For God shall be crucified And heaven shall be nomore With the crown of thorns burn Into the fires of pure blasphemy Consuming the angels of heaven As the gates open wide Time has come for the merciless revenge The doomsday for the father of lies Damnation awaits for the sinner Trapped in a spell of no return See the flames unholy With disgrace in your soul you shall forever burn God, bleed for me Now you are decieved Die before my eyes With undefiled consciousness I kill your lord (Die on the cross) Lead him to the hill of crucifixion (Die on the cross) Feel the nails of pain through your flesh (Die on the cross) The everlasting pain is your fate
