SkunkBeatManiac Still polishing their craft over the Sludgy Melodic Death/Black/Doom foundation of their previous efforts. Although it got closer to the sound of Post-Dissection Blackened MDM folks as the use of reverbed melodic riffs become more prominent. This is the most catchy album they have released. Favorite track: Antagonism.

hatbanger_ollie The two pre-release tracks (Silent Indroctination and Towers) nearly blew my head off upon first listen and the rest of the album is of the same quality. Killer melodic death metal record, a late AOTY contender for me. Favorite track: Silent Indoctrination.

servants of decline, listen to their sermon, bring forth annihilation. in mantras of ignorance, follow the pied piper. illiberal darkness will remain. keep spending life among the sheep, where old skulls rot from inside and dreams get lost just like your teeth. I see you dying in stagnation. silent indoctrination. silent indoctrination. diffuse fear - spiritual poverty is your legacy of futility. influenced, lobotomized. burn your morals in the fire. spread the fear of the unknown. watch the piles of corpses rising higher. obey, consume, be satisfied - like lambs on the surface of a great delusion. convictions so pandemic. thoughts spread like a virus. infections of misery and death. keep spending life among the sheep, where old skulls rot from inside and dreams get lost just like your teeth. I see you dying in stagnation. silent indoctrination. silent indoctrination. anxiety, an infectious spell. manifested scorn in your dying shell. restless, in mental chains. you consume their thoughts. you believe their lies. you open your heart for the silent indoctrination. you will end in darkness, in the shadows of the past. you´ll stay blind forever due to the lies of your fathers.

sick... feeding this ill world with billion spawns. breeding mankind´s fall. exponential growth of misery, of starvation, of stillborn ones. we spread on the edge of hope and despair until we dissolve in the cosmic void. the amount of suffering, the instinct of dying, our wretched reflection. without mercy we kill and reign as disciples of downfall, forcing the end. a billion dead eyes will stare at our fate. collapse of our kind. we´ll turn this earth into a sphere of death. disastrous acts as we speak. we dwell in the cold insignificance. we reign as disciples of our downfall.
3.
born from pain into this world, as a mammal. thriving as a parasite to subdue earth. highest rulers. all life beneath - sacrifices for our domain. as decadence brings our fall, as death is near, they will appear. predators watch our carnal shell. they´ll let us know that we´re fragile. once the vultures come by swarm. no god is watching as we fall. supremacy dethroned, mirrored in the eyes of the scavenger. as we thrive in this grotesque alienation, mankind´s fatal sightlessness brings forth its death. poisoned waters. world is crying. venom in veins. signs of dying. as blood is spit and skin turns pale, hearing with fear, their claws so near. when we feel our scepter break...

Towers 05:38
charlatans of the divine, of old disgust, without a spine. children were left by you in trauma. the relation to your desires deformed into a perversion. you rule from towers of concealment. these secrets are kept inside the devious congregation. cries behind thick walls. a cult that lives violation, hidden in omerta. old men of hypocrisy. behind these walls of silence, where hell really appears. I prepare the thorns and the nails for your flesh while my black thoughts become the spear for your soul. forgiveness pleased, cold bastard priest, of the mischief, the true belief. helpless ones led by you to suicide. brethren of silent pacts, so devious, malevolent. thy victims receive no atonement. they walk the earth wrapped in their robes of vicious lies. they hide in towers of concealment. minds of perverted faith, by time we crush it down. like their towers of concealment. these secrets are kept inside the devious congregation. cries behind thick walls. a cult that lives violation, hidden in omerta. old men of hypocrisy.
5.
Antagonism 03:24
infested child, judge me for I´m blasphemous. hide yourself in feeble tales. thou shall shun me, as I am a reflection of your dying world of decadence, of savagery and perversion. in fear of hell you block all doubts, which is my soil for rebellion. see it crush, your primeval myths. depraved works of mad human fiction. your life is a cage full of prejudice. you are the enemy of boundlessness. see me as the one possessed. antagonist, seed of baal. your truth is a fairytale, shredded as your world will drown in hell, in obsession, in misery and endless pain. look at me with eyes full of contempt and recognize your own poverty. outside that blister of the untruth cold emptiness is awaiting you in death.
6.
manufactured and sold to regions of loss. thy destiny is to bring siege and death by hellfire. cold arms appear, bodies get riddled by hot steel. mothers cry, in blood they kneel. when last survivors escape crippled and deformed, the young sing an ode to gore. handed with pride to hands of a child. imposing the will. parents plead before they´re killed. it is the endless feeding to war´s maelstrom of death. enriched lords of the morbid. blood is spilled in their name. quality product, forged of steel, easy to use, even by hands of a child. black cold instrument, murderous steel, carnage worldwide, gets you even if you hide. death bringing steel in tiny hands, tearing your flesh, your bones and soul - by forged death.
7.
dominion at all cost, since we crawled out of the slime. captured in futility. invoking world funeral to... come, come, revengeful sea, come forth and drown us in our forced decline. come, come, irrevocable, menacing chaos, with high tides it will appear in fatalism. polluted water will fill human lungs, before we will drown in the blackness so deep. we flourish in decay, evoke the endless night to... come, come, ominous depth, from which we came from and by which we´ll die. come, come, unavoidable, our fate of ruin. from our filth it will arise in devastation. as we open the veins of the earth, our flesh becomes one with the waters of death. ominous, uncontrollable force, confront us with our deeds, resulting in hell. the great extinction, unavoidable like the tides engulfing life in the ominous depth. dominion at all cost, since we crawled out of the slime. captured in futility. enforcing world funeral to come.
8.
I see sheep on the path towards the fire. I see fools joining the world funeral procession. I see... shrieking sirens will sound loud through the night before death arrives. a bright thunderbolt, a nuclear shine, halo of mankind. the crown of creation will crumble when heralds of damnation arise. our sphere is poisoned and so are we. no crowned saviour will redeem us. I gaze at mankind´s portrayal. the fangs of greed, the serpent crown. we´ll bring the inferno that melts the skin. this is our curse, history in reverse. consecrated under the sign of our decline. in patterns of absurdity we crawl onwards to doom, like snakes. we´re descendants of reptiles and so we hail, with splitted tongue, the serpent crown. we crowned ourselves with arrogance in the epoch of our fading. this death instinct drives us all. the evocation of the fall. corrosive rain will fall on our thrones, will bless our flesh unto the bone. dark endeavors lead us the path with venom and death. our sphere is poisoned and so are we. omen of nemesis, we hail thine and spread the darkness.

about

The album deals with various
abysmal facets of humanity in terms
of content. "Serpent Crown" stands
for the exact opposite of the
religious word creation "Crown of
Creation", according to which the
"benevolent" man subjugates the
earth. In many cases this self-
exaltation of mankind is based on
invented and embellished stories.
Destructiveness, ignorance and
exploitation of the environment
have always been part of being
human.

about

Wound Germany

The Wiesbaden (Hessen/Germany) based band WOUND formed in 2011. Even if almost all styles of extreme music can be named as influences, the band feels part of the death metal scene. Over the 10 years of band history the songs have become more complex and melodic, however, the roots have not been lost. The lyrics are mostly treatises from real life and its abysses. ... more
