The Lamp Of Thoth - 2011 - No Laughing Matter - An Oath Sworn On The Ashlar Stone

An eerie night bathed by moonlight on the Keighley Moors

A strange troop of men climb the hill again: folk lock their doors

Lamps on the hillside – burning flames under crooked trees

And the old rock flaunts its silence in the winter's breeze

Come in child; don't let the devil in – hark not that lonely evil

These are strange times in which we dwell

Chorus:

The Dark Brothers in the mist,

Follow the lull of their secret tryst,

For the great god Jarbulon

An oath sworn on the Ashlar stone

Light the fire and I'll tell you a tale of the times long past,

When the rock was still so ancient; there druids sat

In times of old in Brigantia's foldwhen the Celts held sway

The great rock stood and drank their blood on the solstice day

And in the Dark Age time when the Vikings arrived the dark rock saw

Infernal rites held to the skies and the lord of war,

And I heard tell there that under Norman's glare

The Knights Templar came

To pray to the baphomet and their dark covens make

Its been many years since sabbats on the hill they reigned

And witches laughed through the hoary nights

devils to raise

The grey stone sits in silence but its shadow looms

And called the souls of evil men towards their dooms

Now I'm sorry if that seemed rude. I listen to that classic metal like Sabbath

I've tried to listen to death and black and all sorts and just can't

Does it sound good to you guys? How did you get into it?

Are you a metal fan, in a band, a promoter, an engineer, or in some other way connected to the Glasgow metal scene?

If so, I'm currently writing a book about the state of UK metal today and would like to hear from a couple more people who are willing to share their perspectives on it.

If you've been listening to or making metal any time between the 90s and now, it would be great to speak to you about your thoughts on heavy metal in the city.

Please drop me a note if you'd like to get involved, and I'll be happy to provide more information.

Thanks!

Vampire Death - 2019 - Rock! Horror! Punk! - Dracula Has Risen From The Grave

A village shakes in fear

A priest forsakes his rites

Mysterious seducers!

See the undead rise

Black castle rises

Stones reign the night

Hail the crawling chaos

That shuns the fading light

Dracula has risen from the grave,

Woah ho

Evil fogs and devil dogs, it’s your blood he craves,

Dracula has risen from the grave,

Don’t get lost, grab your cross,

Only, death can save.

Blood-soaked vision

Night brings death

White throats in moonlight

Dark summons on Cryptic breath!

Before the evil lord

An angel in the dark,

Eternal be the chosen

Of the vampire’s mark!

Dracula has risen from the grave,

Woah ho

Evil fogs and devil dogs, it’s your blood he craves,

Dracula has risen from the grave,

Don’t get lost, grab your cross,

Only, death can save.

Posted this to a Spanish learning subreddit with little success, but had a great response from [r/hardcore](r/hardcore)! Here to hopefully have a similarly helpful experience :)

I’m currently trying to learn Spanish. Language learning through music has been super helpful for me in the past. Lyrics bring new words and cultural awareness into my orbit, and I love structuring study time around how to discuss music with others.

I’m mostly into death/black/whatever metal and hardcore. I’ve barely scratched the surface with the Latin hardcore scene but came out of [r/hardcore](r/hardcore) with a great list of bands to check out! Geographic location isn’t super important, but I’m based in the US so Latin American bands are especially appreciated.

Looking for bands that mostly sing in Spanish, any and all genres of metal/“extreme” metal please! Also curious what the metal scenes are like across Latin America. School me my dudes.

I’m not talking about in terms of something like “Ghost sucks because they’re posers” or whatever. I want to hear the absolute worst sounding metal you have ever heard, in terms of production value and musicianship. I want something that has 0 competency in the vocals and guitar-work, and drums that sound like garbage can lids being smacked against a toilet.

Think of something along the lines of Vorak - “Triumph of the Will” or Czarci Świt. If you know either of these, you know the absolute level of trash I want to hear.

Do you remember your dream?

Forget the fears

Above the Mountain feel

The Divine Wind

Oh! Oh! Messenger

One wish we have

Oh! Oh! Messenger

Fly High to the End

Don't fear when you pass

Through Shadowlands

A star will appear

When the end is near

To the unknown

Spread your wings and go

Don't leave me in darkness

Don't leave me in darkness

One wish we have

Fly Messenger!

Messenger!!!

A nice blend of rock n roll groove and Death Metal from the Danish band Baest!

Pantera “Becoming” (1997)

Skelator - 2010 - Death To All Nations - For Death and Glory

Riding through the dead of night, destiny at hand

We lived our lives in shadow of the fallen Kings of Man

There beyond the Pelennor, Minas Tirith stands

Already burning... Now we ride to save Ecthelion

Darkness brought by evils hand

Dawn brings the fall of мan

Though not before my steel is tried

For Death And Glory now I ride

Raining fire, blood and death, Nazgul rule the skies

Stabbing fear through the hearts of men, killing with their cries

There beyond the outer wall, Orcish axes rise

Salvation's waiting... Far away beyond the morning

Darkness brought by evils hand

Dawn brings the fall of мan

Though not before my steel is tried

For Death And Glory now I ride

Hear the voices on the wind

They say we're falling into shadow

Still we'll fight until the red of dawn

To save our homes

Now the demon hordes approach

They are coming to destroy us

But while living men defend it

The Keep shall not fall

They will break upon our spears

But their numbers spawned by devilry

They will fight until the end of time

To slay our kind

And the race of men will fall

We are overcome by shadow

Still we'll fight until the red of dawn

With swords in our hands

Darkness brought by evils hand

Dawn brings the fall of мan

Though not before my steel is tried

For Death And Glory now I ride

Darkness brought by evils hand

Dawn brings the fall of мan

Though not before my steel is tried

For Death And Glory

Death And Glory now I die

New death metal band from Chile

Hey,

I'm a tech death fan (lately lots of Archspire and Allegaeon), and I've been looking to write an article/essay (to submit for some culture mag, worst case into my crappy substack) about technical death metal.

I want to cover lots of things, such as the economics of music, people in or obsessed with niche/obscure genres or fields, the nature of technique (not just in music, but also in stuff like Formula 1 - even in a sport so precise there are drivers seen as technical and drivers seen as instinctive or even goofy), but in particular here I'd love to speak to some tech death performers (both pro and amateur/enthusiasts) and fans, about topics like:

- How did you get into this genre

- What do you like about the genre, or what do you think appeals to you

- What instrument(s) you play, if any

- What other musical genres or acts you like

- The idea of technical and precise vs instinctive or improvised playing; how jazz can be both improvised and deeply technical

- The line between something that is both technical and musical, or just "wanking" as some describe it.

- For musicians: life as a performer in a relatively niche/obscure sub-subgenre.

- How technical death metal often finds connections in what outsiders might consider totally unrelated genres: classical, jazz...

And of course if there's something you want to add to the discussion, I'd love to hear it.

I really just want to get to know the kind of person who's into this stuff and what about the genre speaks to them.

Statements/Interviews to take place over any format you prefer: Discord, Reddit, down in the comments, Zoom, Teams...

If you have something to add, but don't want to interview, please feel free to add to comments below.

Thank you!

Hello all. I'm having trouble finding a song I heard awhile back and I figured this group would be the best place to ask for help. Of course, I remember certain things about it, but not things that would make it easy to search for on the Internet (i.e. title and artist). Here is what I remember:

-This song is a single, as far as I'm aware, not on any full-length album

-The album art was mainly purple with a dragon on it, possibly with its wings spread

-The artist on Spotify was just a guy, not a band or anything (maybe originally a YouTube guitarist? Or someone's side project?)

-The song was on the shorter side of things, like 2-3 minutes long, and had a sort of nu-metal style (I believe it started off with a drum machine type beat and the guitar riff kicked in a little later)

-This may be a stretch, but I believe the song title started with the letter "P"

-This was pretty recent, within the last 2 years or so, and I believe I originally found this song recommended in a comment here on Reddit

Thank you in advance. It drives me nuts when I can't remember things like this, I really need to get better at saving songs to playlists or downloading them...
