Hand Of The Leper
04:58
|

|
Creatures, grotesque in appearance have been touched with eternal rot
Ostracized, isolated, to be forced into the dark
Hand of the leper, only to know despair Decomposition of your flesh, your bones will soon be bare
Exiled into desolation to be forgotten in existence
Banished from societal walls, the fabric of a distant memory
Seclusion, left to fend for yourself
Absent of all familiar faces, only the sick remain
Captivated, forced onto the vessel
With the wind at our backs and the whip as it cracks, adventure into this certain death With no return in mind, we sail into the starry night Approaching the shores of fate, a glimpse of the end we await Oblivious - not knowing what's in store So Hideous - a sight never seen before
Creatures, grotesque in appearance have been touched with eternal rot
Ostracized, isolated, to be forced into the dark
Hand of the leper, only to know despair Decomposition of your flesh, your bones will soon be bare
Hand of the leper

The Fruits Of My Name
03:50

A legacy too great to forfeit
I must plant this seed
The fruits of my name will heir this fortune
Power for eternity
The fruits of my name will reign forever
In search of an heir, a successor to this crown
Procreation
I didn't want a daughter
My dear wife, I am forced to slaughter
Betrayal
Left with an unwanted child
Demotion, unable to bear a son
Forgotten left to rot
Annul this matrimony
Dissolve the monasteries
Rinse and repeat
To find a wife for me
One to carry the seed
A father I've longed to be
I desire to continue this reign
I must carry this family name
Growing desperate for a son
To inherit this tudor dynasty
He shall reign with my name
He shall reign with my name

Defiance
04:01

Ammit, Devourer of the Dead.
Shesmu, Winepress your head.
Weight of your heart,
against the feather of Ma’at.
Drown the righteous ones in copper and led.
Sacrifice, the blood of the ankh.
Encase your tomb with the hands of seth.
Now heed, as the entrails speak.
Hotep, for the guidance we seek.
Defiance, results in death.
“Chosen ones” you are not.
Empires crumble at our feet.
So why should we submit defeat.
Satet, Gift of fertility.
The origins of the trinity.
Resurrection, a virulent misconception,
our creation enhanced
Guided, reminded, the line of our kin
Emanate the breath of our sin
“languages and civilizations evolve,
but these symbols…they
remain”
Defiance results in death.
Obstructing the fire within.
The line of your species is nothing like us
Gaze at our monuments, and feel the wrath upon
All made, from the blood of your backs
Allegiance, to the dark nether one
Demented infected then cleansed from the earth.
Persistent yet always fail.
Guided reminded of how these structures fell,
Our creation evolved
Posses the knowledge the breath of our kin
Relinquish the hate within
Defiance, acceptance, the process of all that we know
Wandering around alone.
Now that its carved, death of the fallen ones.
Lathered our scars, energy protecting me.
Followed beyond, visions are connecting me.
Will I be strong, other worlds protecting me.
Lies, from, the essence of man,
Come forth and rise

Disgust
03:38

There is no love for a bastard child Forsaken by a rule to become an ancient laugh
The disgrace of thy family's name
There is no love... only disgust
Bow, now before what's righteous
Bow, now down to your knees
Scum of the race, frowned upon by humanity
Never offered the chance, this life was stained when it was set to be a misrepresentation of a faith held so high The birth of a bastard child brings sorrow throughout the night
The resented child will cease to be
Bow before what's righteous
Bow down to your knees
Freedom, yet a slave to your name
Rights stripped away at birth, forcefed obedience
Failure, destined to amount to nothing
You'll struggle more than anyone else just for the name you carry
Contempt, a sense to familiar
Carry the weight of the bastard name and the shame that bares with it
Your life is illustrated sin
Conceived from the greed within
To cast down a heretic
A harbinger to lead the sick
The resented child will cease to be
Neglected at birth, left alone to die
Why the mother chose to raise, are answers we can't find
Forced into slavery or forced to be exiled
The salvation of the child's life will never be worthwhile
Bow, now before what's righteous
Bow, now down to your knees
Bow, now before what's righteous
Bow, now disgusting bastard

The Siege Of Zara
05:14
|

At a tourney in Frankia
Innocent, Bishop of Rome
Flemish knights and second sons
Had convinced to leave their homes
Promising Jerusalem
And salvation for their souls
If they’d travel to Egypt
To loosen the Sultan’s hold
But the Pope did not have the gold
The Army gathered in Venice
Unable to pay the Doge
The promised amount of silver
To carry them across the flow
So they struck a new bargain
That’d weight heavy on their souls
To cross over to Zara
And take back the riches it holds
Behold your gold
Has turned to lead
Your Silver
Now rusted
Withdrew your hand
From the plough
You should hasten
To Jerusalem
You stained your soul
With Christian blood
You leave me no choice…
Excommunicado!
Flags with crosses on the walls
Offered no protection
As they sailed through the chains and crumbled the gates
They made the city their own
Plunder all of its wealth
Then fought themselves over sharing the spoils
Then sometime over winter
Far away from Byzantium
Came a noble visitor
Who offered a lofty sum
For help restoring his father
The blinded man, to Imperium
In return the Emperor
Would help the crusade carry on
And so it was agreed
To march on Constantinople
...and all was forgiven

Sons Of The Nether Ottawa, Ontario
The bastard children of Ottawa/Gatineau’s incestuous metal scene, the Sons Of The Nether rose from the putrefaction of their parents’ corps. Orphaned by the recent plague, they banded together to bring us dark tales of ancient human cruelty, too evil not to be true. ... more

Californian quartet defining themselves as Sci-Fi black metal, maybe due to cosmic and interstellar topics, sounding like blackened death metal too ("The Maw"). It's a well-balanced melodic black metal album, with some fast-paced tracks and nice rhythmic transitions reminding me of Swiss band Celtic Frost (e.g. Terminal Odyssey). In other words not overly dominated by drum speed and also not sounding as extreme or as raw as some BM can be.
