mourner First strike and you could already recognized that this band has to over huge qualities and great diversity. They simply don't care about boundaries and work into their songs whatever comes to their minds. And they do this with great skill and talent. Favorite track: Of Osiris & Execration.

Mr. Melton Gutted I didn't catch them at Bloodstock last August, but I made sure I was front and centre for their set that kicked off Hammerfest VII on the Friday morning.

I was not disappointed and even more annoyed at missing them at Blodostock.

This is a 4 track e.p. of some quality, crushingly heavy Death Metal. There are some firm hat tips to the old school on this but they do not dwell too long in the nostalgia.

They have a bright future ahead on the UK metal scene. Favorite track: Revelation, Apocalypse.

1.
A THOUSAND BURNING TEMPLES Nehemiah Guide Kathairein ways Restoration Purging the unclean A scourge of human waste The fire burns a thousand sins Awakened in flames I’ll raze a thousand temples Sacraments unreconciled Your temples, deficiencies as man Ruptured from the stone of ten The flesh is weak The mind is weaker still Reborn in flames I’ll raze a thousand temples Sacrament denied Superbia Ira Gula Luxuria Invidia Acedia Avaritia Immolate Eviscerate Conflagrate Sear I obliterate… …the unrepentant soul No solace in these words thus spake No anger to ignite the sin Baptised in the blood of Lamb Salvation of the righteous man
2.
OF OSIRIS & EXECRATION Father of Kemet Begotten of Ra Desecrated by Set The throne made thee whole and rode thy chariot Du’at be thy realm The falcon flies Chimaera lust Abomination The child’s talons Rip out the seed The moon gouged from his face An eye for an eye A war of earth and sky Osiris and Death reconciled The flesh surrenders itself Eternity takes back its own A parade of smoke blackened altars And the falling of the moon
3.
THORNS THAT PIERCE THE SKULL Golgotha Embrace thy fate The skull that sups the wine that spills from the grail Caiaphas With fetid breath Unleash thy passions Cry “Insurrection!” Roma Nor blameless, thee Your hands, though washed, drip with sanguination Diadem With daggered brow Humiliations’ crown To pierce the skull TO PIERCE THE SKULL! Through hands and feet Through Man and God Three nails divine The whore’s tears flow Under blackened sky Eli! Eli! Lama Sabachthani! Forgive them El, they know not why Into your hands I commit The Earth shall rent Tear temples’ veil The dead Saints rise It is done One Man’s Eschaton
4.
REVELATION, APOCALYPSE I Am Alpha And Omega First, Last and That which thou seest Seven are the angels Seven are the trumpets Seven are the bowls That bleed for thee The beast with seven horns and seven eyes Worthy is the Lamb He that once was slain He shall be the one unleashed A bow with which to conquer A sword to take the peace Three, the black horse rises Then Death and Sheol released The souls of the martyrs cry for their vengeance unfulfilled A star falls from heaven The saved have been chosen and marked Seven blasts! And the third times the seven is poured Man falls down wracked in pain Water bloodstained Scorch the earth Darkness remains The End! I Am Alpha And Omega And I claim Babylon
