reveal the darkness that lingers below
formless and nameless the dark feeling grows
worshippers marching with zeal in their eyes
armies of darkness under cavernous skies
you'll crumble, and you'll fall in line
we'll laugh and sing as you die
expulsion of the light outside
dark union - hear our cries
consumed by heartless preparation for war
through sacred sinews our doctrine is scored
armies of darkness repeal the light
a villainous horde now descends from the night
you'll crumble, and you'll fall in line
we'll laugh and sing as you die
expulsion of the light outside
dark union - hear our cries
master - reviled!
black wings shall fly
evil runs wild
under cavernous skies
master -we cry!
long live the night
now burns wild fire
in subterranean exile

Wizard's Revenge

they could hear him calling
from lonesome castle heights
it pierced the air
on a still winter night
they fought so hard
in ages long ago
against his power
but their feeble blood did flow
hear my word
I have returned
blessed night
perform the rite
on raven's wing
my hatred springs
no defence
from my revenge
all of the omens
they chose to ignore
instead the cower
from the coming spiritual war
upon the altar
their saints are sacrificed
the wizard incants
with magick in his eyes
their cities crumble
as they burn to the ground
the raven cries
hear the awful sound
another generation
defeated and erased
his name forgotten
returns to the grave
hear my word
I have returned
blessed night
perform the rite
on raven's wing
my hatred springs
no defence
from my revenge
though many years had passed
and the fog did lift under it's heavy burden
in the decayed ruins of the wizard's castle
where no life dares to stir
in the highest window of the tallest tower
a single candle still burns

Master of the Night

the sacred rites
of euphoria
the age of the dark
under hood and cloak,
I'll walk alone
to draw down the stars
blood burns – incense smoke
ancient dreams awoke
eyes turn toward the sky
and now time has come
their world undone
the magick in their eyes
defy them all be the mater of the night
ride into oblivion
titans fall black candles burning bright
with a heart of obsidian
beneath waxing moon
their end comes soon
black steel in the night
evil force marches on
to the ritual drum
extinguish all life
priests prayers unheard
their voices disturbed
valleys echo with their cries
to usurp the throne
with the breaking of bones
extinguish their lies
defy them all be the mater of the night
ride into oblivion
titans fall black candles burning bright
with a heart of obsidian

Long Live the Dead
05:58

among the temples beneath the dirt
their feeble minds, eager to convert
alone I stand - alone I dream
your waking light to reach me
who calls the name of Lucifer?
pestilent death to the god above
forces of evil shall triumph
long live the dead!
our sacred ritual inverts the cross
our forces rise to claim this fragile earth
among the stones and dead leaves
dark forces stir from dead dreams
who calls the name of Lucifer?
pestilent death to the god above
forces of evil shall triumph
long live the dead!
ecstatic forces now take flight
spread their wings into the night
holy blood shall be bled
long live the dead
behold the funeral of the universe
by our shining light we break the curse
the stars above will shatter in the sky
all while we laugh with tears in our eyes
with peace among the dead

Evil in My Heart
04:30
|
|

|
riding down the battleground with hell's unholy fire
legions of the elder gods now light the funeral pyre
on and on through blood red fog our mighty banners fly
cutting down our enemies with hatred in our eyes
the light of mercy has expired
the world succumbs to dark desires
by the sound of my call – the mighty shall fall
as long as there's evil in my heart
with whips and chains we bind the slaves grind their spirits down
they stand before the killing floor; their blood will feed the ground
digging away at rock and clay carve the image of our gods
they hope and prey but waste away the fight is all but lost
the light of mercy has expired
the world succumbs to dark desires
by the sound of my call – the mighty shall fall
as long as there's evil in my heart

Dark Forces

I study hard into the mid winter night
to these black arts I dedicate my life
and no reward could ever be so sweet
oh my dark lord, when will we meet?
to the furthest hell
I toll this bell
black is the night
perform the rite
the arcane tome
I'll read alone
and sacrifice
to the lord of light
your word spoken to the one
let the devil's will be done
you shall rule among the dead
and as our forces now march on
holy barrier undone
your worth to us is spent
over sacred we tread
ride out from the the depths of hell
cathedrals fall into dust
as the high priest makes the sign
evil visions so divine
their world comes to it's end
poised now at the holy gate
for mankind it is too late
no saviour to lead the blind
and in horror they look on
as dark forces smite the strong
saints will cry tears of blood
poised at the threshold
summoned here tonight
titans of evil
stand at the holy site
legions of earth
cower beneath the cross
begging for mercy
all hope is now lost
riding out from the depths of hell
summoned to creation by the foolish spell
apocalyptic vengeance from the night
the hordes of Hades now take flight

RAVENING IRON
by Eternal Champion

This album is amazing. It infuses that traditional heavy metal style with that sort of power metal lyrics and vocal style too. The guitar work is fantastic and all the solos are smooth and fluid. The vocals tho, are just phenomenal. Would recommend this to any metal fan, old and new.

Times of Obscene Evil and Wild Daring
by Smoulder
supported by 97 fans who also own “Subterranean Exile”
This... THIS is how you revive classic and traditional metal from the 80s while making it your own. I could rant and rave for a mini novel's worth of words about why this album is just... impossibility good. I've had to retract so much because of how long winded I got. Please just give it a shot if it's within the subgenres you like.

From Austin comes this psych-doom project, with glacial tempos and bone-chilling melodies.

Allow me to copy Pagan Altar's third album title to describe not only III:Pentecost but the whole discography of Wytch Hazel so far: well, yes, it's Magical and Mythical!!! A must-have for the lovers of 70's hard sound revival.
