A veil of shadows, place of decay and death
A place of monsters, thoughts that you can't reason with
A dark reflection, a make believe reality
Turned upside down
Right next to you, you can't even see
Always dark, can't tell how long I've been here
A nightmare I can't escape
Hunted down in the dark by a stranger
Can you not see you've given up on me?
You got too close, the veil behind you falls
You're not alone here, something lurks behind the walls
Disturbed, there's something in the darkness
Inverse, an even darker shade of you
Always dark can't tell how long I've been here
A nightmare I can't escape
Hunted down in the dark by a stranger
Can you not see?
I'm smothered, I can't breathe
And all I want is to be
Keeping me tied down here
I can't escape myself
Set me free, let me out
Imprison me, put me away
I've given up on me
You know you're dying
There's blood on your hands
There's no denying
There's blood on your hands
Blood on your hands

Lyrics by Jack Batcharj
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
