Ice cold winter night!
Grim moon shinning bright!
Vast kingdom, soulless white!
Frozen landscape! Death at sight!
Hungry shadows staring through!
Red eyes blazing unto you!
Death is near, I hear the whisper!
Forlorn…. In the dead of winter!
Fear possessing now my body!
Horrors creeping in my soul!
Hope no longer shines inside me!
Weak, I’m falling on the snow!
I cannot move, I cannot scream!
A freezing realm! Seems like a dream!
I cannot breath, my heart will fail!
Hollow hills and dread prevail!
Cold as stone I slowly fall asleep
I hear footsteps and approaching creep!
I’m fading now away with a final sigh!
Doom has found me and I must die!
A single blink and my tragedy appears!
Inevitable my bane! Now I see it clear!
A pack of wolves are ripping me apart
Rending my flesh, rapidly and hard!
Darkness fell and so the whisper!
Last exhale… In the dead of winter!

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
