Behold the Grievous Angel Upon this day of wrath
See the demons slathering For the spoils of aftermath
Grievous Angel casts his eyes Upon your ripened soul
Reaps a harvest of your mind Your mortal coil unfolds.
Dies Irae, You will die!
Fields of agony will be Forever your new home
Grievous Angel upon his head Wears a crown of stone
Masters of this stinking place Your precious fetid land
Day of wrath will end your life Your blood upon the sand
Dies Irae, You will die!
Sang-Froid sword it sings this day Drinking in your life
A fiery mace to crush your bonesSowing bitter strife
Abbadon's scorn, Arakiel's rage Tamiel takes your breath
Nothing to look forward to Only Azrael's promise of death.
My favorite material from Solstice! Despite their amazing discography that lay before this that completely set the foundation, this in my opinion is where it all comes to a mighty peak. What an amazing emotional and powerful picture painted in such a short amount of time. Talon Sullivan
If Elric had a soundtrack it would be this. It's everything you want from a epic metal album. Like a hot poker in the eye, but in a good way. Scott Malthouse
Ce qu'il y a de bien dans les débuts d'un groupe, c'est qu'il y a une plus grande variété dans le style, avant qu'ils ne se soient fixés sur un en particulier. C'est le cas ici, avec des pistes plus heavy rythmées (Phantoms of the Sky, Leather Demon), de belles tranches de doom (Inquisition, Deathwell), il y a cette souplesse dans la musique et cette facilité à jongler entre les genres typique des groupes nouveaux venus ultra-motivés qui compense le manque de bouteille. joH1
