"Violentia gladiatore" by Krisiun, (with lyrics)

Krisiun:"Violentia gladiatore", (from the album "The great execution", 2011):

beneath the skies of oppression . over the sands of execution
a wile construction is built - to recreate the ecstasy of the killing fields
gladiatorial brutality engaged - slaves to be hunted off the cage
butchery celebrates a holiday - killing and carnage for entertain
bastards and whores whipped as devoured, spectacles of horror
in a furious feast, slaves and thieves are fed to the beasts
mourning of doom and cruelty ominipotent tyranny
blood lusting crowd cheering for the slaves´ agony
into the vortex of unmerciful mutilations
initiate the black mass of condemnation
screams of the tortured, echoing on thru the abattoir
bodies impaled in iron stakes, spectacles of horror
crowded arena praising the beasts in a massive roar
devourment upon the sands of conceived legal pain
open the gates of the lion´s den
lacerated bodies scattered under the rain hunger lions devouring fury unchained
warlords clash in a maelstrom of swords and shields
vultures behold, slaughter unfolds, bloody stories to be told.

(lyrics: Krisiun)

(The year of 2003....well, what can I say....to me it was a year loaded with unemployment! Actually I was looking for a job the whole year and didn´t find any....:-( BUT I remember with a smile those peaceful mornings that year, when I was sitting in my lovely armchair drinking coffee STRONG AS HELL, listening to music STRONG AS HELL, and reading books STRONG AS....well, not THAT strong to be honest....ha ha....

The year of 2003....well....it was also a year, where I discovered Krisiun :-) Three brothers from Brazil, who contribute to the death metal-scene in the most positive way....They´re to say the least DEDICATED :-) "Works of carnage" was the album, that blew me away back in 2003, and while I was....erm....flying, I was wondering: "Can death metal be any darker than this???".

I´m not sure about the right answer to that question, but I know Krisiun´s kind of death metal is filled with darkness, and their latest release, 2011´s "The great execution", is definitely no exception :-) Probably the brazilians best album so far....with death-songwriting at its best and a lot of songs really hard to forget! (Not that I´m expecting you to try....ha ha....). Today´s update is my ultimate favorite-track from "The great....", namely the totally awesome "Violentia gladiatore". LISTEN, AGREE and ENJOY :-)

See you monday with yet another great heavy metal-song with lyrics, and this time it´s about FIGHTING!!! I´m hoping to see you, but I understand, if you don´t have the guts....ha ha....

Kind regards

"Circles of the oath" by Absu, (with lyrics)

Absu:"Circles of the oath", (from the album "Abzu", 2011):

1st Verse
I stand in the center of the summit sphere
I wait for the sound of the clouted bell - the warning sign

The vagueness has not been named.
Yet I see hands which testify the vow
Exposing the uncalled. Unknown and unsettled

My destinies marked!

Chorus
I confirm vigor of the Wise by stealth
With this spell, non-faul, creating combustion
I form the glow
Of the Oath, circles are blood and birth renewed
How keen the free star prevails - a strike of thrust
I forever reach

I seek double chains of Orgia´s durableness!

Repeat Chorus

I´m told by the garlanded that Afu and Tiphareth....
I´m told by the conquering they remain introducing:

The mentors of the Above
The forgers that speak Below
The savants of the Numbers
The solders of the Circuits

Decree
I´M
AEONS TENABLE
MARK MY WORDS
OF THE OATH
SEVEN

I´M
TREASURES TO THE STONE
HEAR MY LEAD
IN THE OATH
SEVEN

Repeat Decree
Repeat 1st verse

(lyrics: Proscriptor McGovern)

(Well, well, well....today´s big surprise, I think :-) The update is on some days before, I expected! ENJOY :-)

In the beginning of last month my nephew turned 9 years old and one of his presents was a so-called "Cajón", that has something to do with his drumming. Yes, he keeps on practising in order to become one of the world´s greatest heavy metal-drummers....erm....at least one of the world´s greatest drummers....ha ha....because I´m not quite sure, that I´m able to make him feel passionate about the heavy metal-genre....Only time will tell :-)

I don´t know at what age, the Texan Proscriptor McGovern started out his drumming, but today he´s definitely one of my favorites behind the drums! And the fact that he´s a very talented black-vocalist too only makes him the more impressive :-)

The latest Absu-album "Abzu", released 2011, is quite different compared to its predecessor "Absu" from 2009....More stripped-down musically and shorter in running-time, and I think "Abzu" is a SLIGHTLY better album. My ultimate favorite-tracks on "Abzu" are "Skrying in the spirit vision" and today´s update "Circles of the oath"....A DAMN WELL BLACK METAL-SONG WITH....(AND HERE WE GO AGAIN :-))....A GREAT RIFF!!!

See you next time with yet another great heavy metal-song with lyrics, and this time we´re heading to Brazil, but sorry, there will be no SAMBA at all....erm....to be honest: quite the opposite :-)

See you :-)

Kind regards
