September is looking hot for new music;







*Makes a flurry of preorders on Amazon.*

[mole]

nice album art on the first one
so guess whos new album came out last week?

Opeth - The Baying Of The Hounds

I hear the baying of the hounds
In the distance, I hear them devouring
Pest ridden jackals of the earth
Diabolical beasts and roaming the forests
In wait and constant protectors
Calling you to sit by his side
Your self loathing image in his flesh
A revelation upon which you linger

His words are flies
Swarming towards the true insects
Feasting on buried dreams
And spreading decay upon your skin
His eyes spew forth a darkness
That cut through and paralyze
Casts light upon your secrets
Forced to confront your enemies

His mouth is a vortex
Sucking you into it's pandemonium
Fools you with a helping hand of ashes
Reached out in false dismay
His body is a country
The cities lay dead and beyond despair
Friends turned enemies unable to come clean
In a rising fog of reeking death
Everything you believed is a lie
Everyone you loved is a death burden
So you take comfort in him
And you are receptive to stark wishes
No longer struggling to declare your stand
You would inflict no harm to others
They are unaware of you
And in a loop of futile events
You are everything, they are nothing

Drown in the deep mire
With past desires
Beneath the mire
Drown desire now with you

Lined up verses on dead skin
"The tainted lips of the stranger
Resting upon hers"

And I embrace bereavement
Everything beloved is shattered anyway
I would devote myself to anyone
I would accept any flaws

I am too weak to resist
Tension vibrating with horror
Finding the outcast in my eyes
Pushing nerves on a puppet
Endless poison in my veins
Clean intent now tainted with death

And so, cold touch now inhumane
Every waking hour
Awaiting a reverie to unfold
And now they are calling me
Louder by the minute
The baying of the hounds
Calling me back to my home



Opeth - Hours Of Wealth

Found a way
To rid myself
Clean of pain
And the fever that's been haunting me
Has gone away
Looking through my window
I seem to recognize all the people passing by
But I'm alone, and far from home
Nobody knows me
Never heard me saying goodbye
Never shall I speak to anyone again
All days are in darkness and I'm biding my time
Once I am sure of my task I will rise
Again.



simplicity eh? theyre playing in b'ham 2moz

Carpathia arrived today, and really redefines The Vision Bleak somewhat. They've certainly moved on - from thrashy, quite slow tracks to faster, more progressive black-fucking-metal. All in all - superior.

The Vision Bleak - The Charm is Done

Now here I stand - shadow engulfed,
Truth at hand, yet unresolved,
The mystery that holds me tight,
To lore of craft of shade and night,

In dreary hours, dreams did unfold,
And prophecies that have been told,
Appeared to me as plain unreal,
But destiny hath broke the seal,

The charm is done - the seal is broken,
In every part of mine chaos hath been woken,

The spell fufilled - darkness has won,
No thing could ever bring me back - the charm is done.

I shall dwell in the abyss - in glory and in wonder,
In spheres in which my blackened heart forever mayest ponder,
In darkness.
 

[Rug]

Just got back from seeing Damn, Detonation, Gorerotted and Decapitated. Gorerotted stole the show - the quotability alone was worthy of the entrance price.

"Yeah, we're Gorerotted and we're from.. uh.. pretty much everywhere in the UK. Except Wales. Any Welsh people here tonight?" *Some hands raise* "Right.. good, this one's for you."

Gorerotted - Village People of the Damned

One injection, one infection
One injection and the dead are resurrected
One injection, one infectionm, feasting on the dead

Now there is nowhere left for me to run
The armies af the dead come
Breaking into my place
Their teeth tearing into my face

My blood's now starting to drain
The changes have started in my brain
Awakening as one of them now, killing as I only know how

Staggering, wandering, bludgeoning, murdering, tearing, and feeding on tissue and flesh
My insides and instincts are hungering and thirsting for people with which I can eat and infect
Smearing and smarming and coating whilst laughing my body and clothes in their blood and their bite
Eating and munching on flesh is disgusting but hunger won't go so I kill to survive

One by one the dead arise and stagger around looking for somewhere to feed
Our numbers grow as people change and start chewing on each other's meat
Searching more for victims to gnaw and nibble on to get the strength that we need
Figthting to taste the few that remain before there's nothing left to eat

Infected now there is nowhere else for them to left to run
Our army has gathered the undead have come
Breaking into their blocked off boarded up places
My teeth begin to tear away at their terrified faces
Warm feelings inside as their blood starts to drain
Their changes have started soon they'll rise just the same
Hunting for food that's not there like us in vain

One by one more dead arise, trying to find fresh meat to keep them alive
To many zombies not enough people left, we'll have to move on or soon once again we'll all be dead
Searching more for victims to nibble for strenght, but we search and find no one left awake
To many zombies not enough people left, we'll have to move on or soon once again we'll all be dead
Because one by one more dead arise, trying to find fresh meat to keep them alive
To many zombies not enough people left, we'll have to move on or soon once again we'll all be dead

However, the prize for 'best headbanging track ever' must go to Decapitated. The Negation crushes live.

Decapitated - The Negation

No! Catharsis through scream
Too many ways, too many truths
The myth of the reward
And the punishment
Still feeds our fear.
No to all of the masks of this world!
No to the empty words!
Open eyes look, yet closed can truly see
Creeping vermin still cross their traces
Seeming movement of the elements
Does not chance the vision the throbbing whole.
No to those that have seen,
And thus have believed!
No to those that have not seen,
And yet have believed!
Global negation of the visible existence
Is thedelusion in itself.
Yet the truth the animal eyes look to
Dies at the closed eyelid glance of spirit.

In the Year 2525 - Zager and Evans
ARTIST: Zager and Evans
TITLE: In the Year 2525


In the year 2525
If man is still alive.
If woman can survive, they may find.


In the year 3535
Ain't gonna need to tell the truth, tell no lies.
Everything you think, do and say, is in the pill you took today.


In the year 4545
Ain't gonna need your teeth, won't need your eyes.
You won't find a thing to chew.
Nobody's gonna look at you.


In the year 5555
Your arms hanging limp at your sides.
Your legs got nothing to do.
Some machine doing that for you.


In the year 6565
Ain't gonna need no husband, won't need no wife.
You'll pick your son, pick your daughter too.
From the bottom of a long glass tube. Whoa-oh


In the year 7510
If God's a-comin, he oughta make it by then.
Maybe he'll look around himself and say.
Guess it's time for the judgment day.


In the year 8510
God is gonna shake his mighty head.
He'll either say.I'm pleased where man has been.
Or tear it down and start again. Whoa-oh


In the year 9595
I'm kinda wonderin if man is gonna be alive.
He's taken everything this old Earth can give.
And he ain't put back nothing.Whoa-oh



Now it's been ten thousand years
Man has cried a billion tears.
For what he never knew,
now man's reign is through.


But through eternal night.
The twinkling of starlight.
So very far away.
Maybe it's only yesterday.


In the year 2525
If man is still alive.
If woman can survive, they may find.


In the year 3535 {fade}



what I want is find the AMV (anime music video) that was made to this song
that and the one made to a song from The Muppets…by Animal... but there aren’t any words to it, so I don’t know how to search for it, “ma-num-a-num”, I think it's called "Phenomenon" :blink:

Feeder - Shatter

Coming around my senses torn
Its no illusion its here everyday I bleed
As long as you see it as long as you know
As long as you fake it nobody knows

Break down again I’m suffering
My heads out of sync and I can’t hide the pain

Is this the ending or is this the start
All that we sever
All that we are
Communication connected apart
Promises given the cross of a heart

Break down again I’m suffering
My heads out of sync
And I can’t find the way out of it
I can’t find a way out

Break down again I’m suffering
My heads out of sync
And I can’t find the way out of it
I can’t find a way out
Break Out

Detonation - An Epic Defiance

Averting the plague
I shall repent injustice
For whom may ever retake my place
I shall be forever.

Prodigies of valour I see
Forever an epic defiance.

Revenge on those who command
Witness a setting of a burnt land
Eternally doomed in frustration
Fire in the eyes of my creation.

The blood-drenched window I laugh at
Feeds off my decay, rot!
I spent my days looking at death
Dying to gather sanity, needing no sympathy.

Prodigies of valour I see
Forever an epic defiance.

A soul with never-ending pain
A shadow of a lifeless form banished from sight
Left alone to decay, torn apart
As blood turns black.

Eager to taste
Consume to survive
As night devours its prey.

Prodigies of valour I see
Forever an epic defiance.

[Rug]

Detonation - The Last of my Commands

Drawn into another night
Forced to submit to the presence of time
Take me out of this paranoia
A still betrayal feasting on the silence that I create

This is my life, were no one follows
Sight of a dead stare, cold, hollow.

Surpassing my fierce being
Drawn back my will to succeed.

Behold and beware!
The wrath of time
Which no one has noticed
And no one has seen before
Take me out of this paranoia
A still betrayal feasting on the silence that I create.

"Claimed to be a meaningless cause
Nothing takes more from a soul
But there is nothing more to lose
And nothing less I will give in"

Nothing lasts forever, my soul left to die alone
With a sickness that I have spawn
The dying of our world, a follower to sea

[Rug]

Arcturus > You. Out today, Chris, though don't bother with the mall, I own the only copy they had.

Anthem of the World - Stratovarius

The setting sun creates another world
The shadows fall another day is in the end
The Paradise is sleeping peacefully
And one more day is again history

Tell me can we go on like this?
Everybody is living in a bliss
Are these the last times of our Mother Earth?
Or is it just beginning of new Birth?

Don't be afraid we must be wise
Patient and peaceful and strong
Maybe it's like you would throw the dice
Then hope that nothing goes wrong
Remember that you have the right to say
All things that you feel inside
Open your mind and you open your eyes
Together now is the time

Sing the Anthem Of The World
But will we ever learn
To control our hate and to forgive
We must learn to find the way
To just live another day
And be free like an Eagle in the sky

How about if God just let us down?
If he just is polishing his crown?
What's the key to the Universe?
Is life down here just one big endless curse?

Don't be afraid...

Sing the Anthem Of The World....

[Rug]

Arcturus - Evacuation Code Deciphered

Change channel I am bored again,
Take five and restart the game,
I suggest a different approach,
Remake the world with a devilish touch,
Evolution is too slow ghost,
Relax and sit back I am you new host,

Fantastic, elastic, all things can be spastic,
No room for bore press enter and store,
We live in small shells put that on a shelf,
e.s.p for all big and small,
Saga-lore mature splendor,
Ragamuffin saga-puffin all you can snort,

Electric eyes for sparkling flies,
Will be much more fun for the rejects and dumb,
So what do you change,
In your realm of decadence,
King or queen, or something snotty in between,

Worlds shatter to darkness without matter,
No matter, no matter we stole,

Too dar from home,
Rid your shoulders of this stone,
Which direction is up,
What way to the top,
It seems we are lost,
This is no place to linger,
Let your throat embrace your finger,
Evacuate this tomb,
There is always an exit,
For aliens infected,
Our race,
Seems we crashed on the way,

Two dried up bugs trapped in the same web,
Slimy slugs on a busy rainy highway,
You and I are not lost without words,
We can live again without rebirth,

Two old drunks sharing the same cup,
A pair of fools sailing where no wind blows,
A band of burglars stealing traces from their lost shoes.


Did I mention Simen Hestnaes is on very bad acid ?

And the last of this autumn's worthwhile BM releases has arrived:



Only comment: Darkthrone covers with good production > god.

Secrets of the Moon - Bleakstar

The snake is here,
The abandoned inmost catching the rat,
Focussing on death astray,
The silver-crossed chariot,
Winding through unlimited sciences,

The star is here,
Blinding dogmas of worlds in worlds below,
Sky clears and vanishes hope and desperation,

The star is here,
Speaking in triads,

There is no beyond,
No demigod but man,
No pantheon of wisdom,
When the Bleakstar coducts,

It will eat your heart,
Scourish warmth unmistakable, unclean,

This is not a place for you,
This is not a race you're part of,
This is not for you,
The listener is you,

Snake embraces star,
Enchanted distant chaos,
Until the light catches us,
Under the earth reigns the beast.
