about

This is about the cover-ups of
abuse cases by the Catholic Church.
Notions of abuse and ritual
violence, which in the past were
associated exclusively with
occultism, were in fact committed
by followers of this hypocritical
institution, which for years
protected the perpetrators of its
pedo-criminal network. The cases
will probably never be solved in
their entirety. But whenever
traumatized victims come forward
and tell their stories, the towers
of concealment will crumble a
little further.

lyrics

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.

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

Seven Crowns and Seven Seals
by Sulphur Aeon

supported by 47 fans who also own “Towers”

Blistering blackened death metal with haunting melody lines throughout. The melody never overcomes but rather gives hypnotizing testimony to the churning rhythms threatening to pull the listener below the waves. This is music by which to summon the Great Old Ones. Robert Royer

Lightly deathified dad rock - each song offers something different to the table. The Blue Öyster Cult energy is strong, the vocals charming, and the guitars absolutely enchanting! baguettalus

Tales Of Othertime

Masterful use of acoustic passages and synth stuff. This is definitely my favorite black metal-dungeon synth kinda album I've found recently. Each track flows into the next so well, I cannot recommend it enough. Perri

Personally, a small step down from what I like most about SA's world/music, but it's still a fantastic album! crabjuice
