Standing here tall, standing with pride!
With flaming contempt and infernal delight!
See the gods tremble! By the sight of my abhorrent deed!
For I am your legion father and I slay all that may bleed!
For torment I crave! Anguish and pain!
Soon they will perish in hell’s fire reign!
Their temple I ruined and burned down to dust!
Deathmarch and sodomy forward!
It’s the night of ultimate lust!
Satan’s Prayer........ Angel Slayer
But one taste of pleasure I cannot forget!
The nectar of the heavens I forcibly shall get!
When I rip out the heart from angels and divine!
And fill my chalice full to drain that precious wine!
Curly flames now dancing..... Rule power from below!
Burning wings and feathers! The torture takes control!
Massacre in heaven! The omen has begun!
Never ending slaughter! Hope, there shall be none…..
Satan’s Prayer........ Angel Slayer
Seas of blood, falling like tears from my sword!
I am creation of hatred that burns from the crown of my lord!
Dreadful my penalty! Impending my curse!
Fiend of all the living! I’m the nightmare, the worst!
Slay!!!

Pretty much the best Black/Speed Metal I've listened to since I learned about Evil Invaders and Vulture. Everything you'd love to be reminded of about this musical era is there. The influences are what you'd expect too: Motörhead, Venom, Bathory, early Slayer, Celtic Frost; aggressive vocals, tortured guitar solos, pounding drums; everything is fast, clear and still a little grimy, but without reverb cranked up to the max. Amazing band, amazing album. Odiumediae
This proves that bands who play with conviction will always prevail. The band does nothing new musically, yet the album hits you like a ton of bricks. Ferocious riffing that reminds me of bands like Razor, Exodus, and Kreator. This album is just fucking mean. Highly recommended for fans of 80s extremity. Dark Avenger
If you told me this was Nekromantheon I wouldn't know the difference. That's not a knock on this either, I love Nekromantheon and this is pretty masterful black thrash for sure. grahamy
