The Mask that Laughs

Can't flip the switch in the lunatic
Can't flip the switch to regret or apathetic
A humorous demeanor but his soul is sick
Once thought dead but the mask comes back to life
Now he laughs faceless in a putrid mask but it's his grin
Delusional king of the masquerade
Luck is on his side
It doesn't matter he's in your head
All that happens is it curses you instead
Can't cure the man who laughs
In the mask that laughs

Serpent Seed

I hear their call conspiring heretics
Alone? You got my number put down the crucifix
Everyone has got their reasons
Everyone has got a choice
But you my friend are so compliant
Every time you hear my voice
Those deeds confirm your dedication
You’re the seed of violent tendencies
When you feed it’s for pleasure not for need
Apathy you will regurgitate
Often they spill desire and pretend to abide their beliefs
They cast it in the fire with their dirty cloaks and soiled sheets
They gather in secrecy In light they hide the disgrace
And inject a new arrival in such a godless place
In the holy garden came perversion of his creation
With the lust of Eve and the jealousy passed on unto Cain
And what you’re after is to numb all the rage from within
It’s destiny a demons Instinct is to sin
“God gave you life and I gave you insecurity”
What you’re after doesn’t exist they claim
Mother Eve, Lucifer Father of Cain
You've lied, you've cheated
Unanswered prayers are for your treason
You are what you bleed by unholy creed
I'm in your blood
You are my serpent seed

Easy Prey

Not what you used to be, you' re just a shadow of yourself
You spent most your life in love with hating someone else
You gave in too easy
You gave them control
If it was in demand you'd hang them by the throat
Fall in line
One thing you can't remember
Fall in line
You were always a member
Fall in line
One thing you can't remember
You got a number
Just as dark as divine
Your bloodline left a trail of sickness
On the cross burned alive
Their children for all to witness
Just as dark as divine
Your bloodline left a sickness
With a spark it ignites and the hordes become relentless
They want blood
Manipulation manufactured beliefs
Using superstition as philosophy to deceive
Binging on easy prey
They can't deny
They prey through a symbol of torture
Binging on easy prey
Torment and slaughter
Stripped bare and taken up high
Binging on easy prey
They can't deny
They prey through a symbol of torture
Binging on easy prey
Their youngest daughter
Will take home a piece of the dead
It's easy prey

Where Paradise is Buried

Adversarial to any moral compass
Betrayer of the polarity
Offset the value of the declination
While you were weaving deceit with eternity
They will burn in golden churches
Your prayers are full of sin
Condemned to isolation
Cold and alien
They fear they know
Paradise is buried under sin
Gazing wickedly through flames
Restless spirits will repay
Ever expanding dark disposition
Indulge in such indecencies.
Seeker of sublime executions
Religious twisted blasphemy
They will burn in golden churches
Your prayers are full of sin
Condemned to isolation
Cold and alien
They fear they know...
Under dirt and decay the dead have been laid
Where paradise was buried
You don’t live in third world devastation
Still you’re never sorry, never repent
And they're the ones condemned eternally
They will burn in golden churches
Your prayers are full of sin
Condemned to isolation
Cold and alien
They fear they know
paradise is buried under sin

Awaken this curse again and all feel is alive
I have spoken dark mantras in anger until the guests have arrived
Unwelcome but always invited familiar beast of prey
The wretched will remain infernal
Serving your carcass for the sacrifice
Insidious minds curb not desire
Our will can not be broken
As cryptographs reveal
We were not as human
Demonic doorways vampiric seal
We were not as human
We are in the myths of traditions
We were once as gods
Illuminati the Kindred Oath
Invisible Imperium
The wretched will remain infernal
Serving your carcass for the sacrifice
An ilk of unrestrained desire
In your eyes will become what you perceive to be divine
Today the Night is Ours
Stop pretending that we are not really here

Thanaspherian
04:24
|

A phenomenon complex as its source and it’s closer to earth more so than you may think
Discovered during the season of war that the dead space after our stratosphere isn't empty
They knew in 1952 and a few overheard through the frequency from their transmission
That a vessel cosmonaut was a medium for countless apparitions
This is purgatory for the ones unwilling to leave
This is purgatory and some seem to stay forever
They are the Thanaspherian
Ghost in the thanasphere and they are waiting for their dead
His mission to locate the attack from above a militant strategy
Ground would plead there’s no turning back they knew the truth and harm of its devastation
That in space as a glowing array the ethereal are hovering over the atmosphere
In a whirlwind of cosmic grace the ones once lost was reaching out for his embrace
This is purgatory for the ones unwilling to leave
This is purgatory and some seem to stay forever
They are the Thanaspherian
Ghost in the thanasphere and they are waiting for their dead
Suicide above the sky
He died Above the Sky
To become
A Thanaspherian

Awaiting the Arrival
05:04

You've reached your destination and the witching hour's near
You've reached the realization that you have no business being here
Await the arrival
When reality came and went it left behind residuals
When reality came and went it took with it an excess of death
I heard the laughter of cold blooded bastards
Wiped away the filth from digging my own grave
I watched them slither and uncoil like a snake
As I wipe away the filth from digging my own grave
There is no hope without despair
No space for emptiness you can't be hollow more than this
There is no hope we can repair
It's irreversible but still we bother to exist
Await the arrival
When reality came and went it left behind residuals
When reality came and went it took with it all of you

Under the Penumbra

Under the penumbra
I will never decay
Under a penumbral sky
Red turned to black
The devil came tonight and he's not coming back
Under a penumbral sky
Red turned to black
The devil came tonight and he's never coming back
Reborn from pure into evil
The dark gift came with his bequeathal
My maker was an alchemist
Said spread his ashes then leapt to his pyre
Since that night I'm no longer a breather
As his heir even less than alive
Untouched by time because you took a believer
Unwillingly immortalized
My maker burns in Hell because I scattered his ashes
You broke the oath
Broken the oath of Santino's coven
The ground is my bed it's not my grave
Defy. Rather die than be a slave
I bite filthy vermin when I crave a human
My maker now burns in Hell because I scattered his ashes
My maker now burns in Hell and there's worse things than dying

Heavy sludgy doomy riffs complimented with excellent grooves and rhythms results in an all-around solid album. The classic metal influences from back in the day come through nicely. This album never lets up on the head nodding.

Late 90's BM worship, but it's also a lil more than that. This album takes the best elements from the scene it's inspired by and mostly avoids the worst of it; the song-writing is well-written, it's performed with passion and fun, and the production is raw but isn't lo-fi. (i.e. it doesn't obfuscate and/or suckass). Tl;dr It's safe but high quality BM. Recommended.
