lyrics

A series of viscid toxicants scald as they flow down my throat
Each swallow turns more caustic than the last
All control has fled my mortal vessel
Forever gone due to ritual's result
The bistre-like elixirs eat away at my spine
Until nothing is left

Years of indentured shame within the cult
I've groveled and pleased the porcine sentinels of Uereh's recipe
A vile thing, her acroamatic legacy
So to are the sacrifices one must make in following it
All will at long last be requited

How sweet, the fruition of my ploy
From the beginning not a one could see through it
Idiots one and all, debasing their gifts with bodily pleasures
My endeavors are of an empire
Built now on what I have gained

Bodies explode as gore splays the walls
With their own entrails about their throats they wriggle
Eyes bulging like decrepit fish
I lavish their deaths, these cunts who deemed themselves my masters

For those mindless, the true believers
Their minds will be as a beaten mash
They who don't swallow their own tongues are free to obey
They will bow before me
These sycophantic mendicants

I have become one of their gods

Genocidal Bliss of Heaven
by The Lifted Veil

supported by 18 fans who also own “Carving Out The Spine”

This record brings me flashbacks from early 2000s black metal. It's fast, blasting and punching. Maybe it's not so memorable, but still a decent listen. XUN

Ancient Arts
by Dawn of Existence

supported by 15 fans who also own “Carving Out The Spine”

DAWN OF EXISTENCE plays melodic death metal, which appears significantly blackened through the screaming share at the vocals. The sound is quite heavy, "Toe Up" for example reminds me of Hypocrisy in style. As there are more catchy monster tracks like "Marble Garden" or "Satan Spacelord", "Ancient Arts" became an impressive debut. H.L.
