Eden rots forgotten to God. Serpent tongue promise of life beyond. Dirt and bone, eternal home. Glacial pain of hell unknown.
Death reigns on the throne. No god can overthrow.
Bound by celestial grief. Earthly bodies find no relief. Praise death, grant us peace. Eternal salvation, spiritual disease.
Death reigns on the throne. No god can overthrow.
Pray to Death for life to end. Pray to Death our souls transcend.
Lord of the noose speak to me truth. Oh Holy Death my soul is doomed.
Death reigns on the throne.
Notes: I was raised by my father while my mother was in and out of prison. She struggled with substance abuse of many forms. Unfortunately my mother passed away shortly after she began getting her life on track. Just before my mother’s death my stepfather passed away and just after my grandmother died as well. These deaths had a profound impact on my psyche. I took all of those experiences of pain, loss, depression and put them into this song.

First time I heard these guys I was hooked. This new release took things up a notch. Listen to their new release Crime Rituals and you will not be disappointed. Holy Death

Sorrowful indeed. Utterly beautiful blackened doom metal with melody that draws out a cathartic release. Its works like these that have me believe what Schopenhauer said about music was true, that it speaks truth to what is at our most core. Camelus Dromedarius
