A Mask for the wretched.
Revel in the illusion of sanctity.
Subsistent on falsehoods.
The admiration of the feeble.
A crumbling pedestal for the weak to subsist on,
Living amongst the ruins of dead ideals.
A society without foundation.
Sinking,
Festering Apathy.
Spit in the face of Greatness,
A transparent veil of falsehoods.
Depravity etched into the souls of those without meaning.
An elaborate artwork, depicting failure.
A sermon in the universal language of suffering.
Self aggrandised steeples pierce
the melancholic sky

Dissolution of Apathy

The dissolution of Apathy.
Embroiled in the monotony of Misery.
In the grip of Lethargy,
We wallow in the shades of Death.
Without distractions, the weight of reality crushes the feeble.
The slave knows no life without chains.
Give him freedom and he withers.
Longing for servitude.
No ambitions, but to serve.
Comfortable with misery, and a slave morality.
Defeated. Domesticated.
Live the life of a slave, thinking you’re free.
Seize your life for yourself.
Allow the dissolution of Apathy.
Strive.Suffer.Fail.Succeed.
Embody the will to power.

Life Through Death
03:39

Living life through Death.
No future.
Praying for your last breath.
Diseased, decayed, decrepit.
You were cold before you were dead.
Hollow eyes, Pale skin.
Death lets you know you’re alive.
For who would envy the living.
Amidst bleak winds, Isolation seduces the soul.
Your worst fear is yourself.
Defective.Suffer.End.

Bleak (Bonus Track)
05:45
|

|
Atavistic imprisonment.
Forever condemned to successive disappointments.
Resigned to hopelessness,
As consciousness wakes despair.
In the lowest deep, a lower abyss,
Still threatening to devour me, opens wide.
To which, the hell I suffer, seems a heaven.
But these failures make us human.
Perfectly imperfect.
As I gaze into my abyss,
I recognise my Self.
Apathy is the gateway to Misery and serfdom.
To avoid failure is a failing of itself.
Bleak.Empty.Void.
Allow yourself to Suffer.
Stride boldly now through the gates of Hell.
Guarded by Sin and Death

Coagulating Darkness
by Hellripper

Pretty much the best Black/Speed Metal I've listened to since I learned about Evil Invaders and Vulture. Everything you'd love to be reminded of about this musical era is there. The influences are what you'd expect too: Motörhead, Venom, Bathory, early Slayer, Celtic Frost; aggressive vocals, tortured guitar solos, pounding drums; everything is fast, clear and still a little grimy, but without reverb cranked up to the max. Amazing band, amazing album.
