lyrics

RULE OF THE BEAST

Forging a path of lawless infliction
We pillage and plunder forcing submission
Screams of sheer pain don't distract our quest
We punish all those who failed to attest

Ripping through town
Blasting our sound
Eardrums bleed to the beat
On our own way bringing dismay
Opposers will feel the heat
No one is safe from our onslaught of pain
Bringing the women back to our domain
The last thing on our minds is keeping the peace
We live by the rule
The Rule of the Beast

Rule of the Beast

We set out to rake in what is ours to reap
Go back to your herd and cower like sheep
The streets have been taken by eminent force
We command, you obey, we feel no remorse

Rule of the Beast

Ripping through town
Blasting our sound
Eardrums bleed to the beat
On our own way bringing dismay
All posers will feel the heat
No one is safe from our onslaught of pain
Bringing the women back to our domain
The last thing on our minds is keeping the peace
We live by the rule
The Rule of the Beast!

Swirling guitars, furious drums, vocals that at the same time howl from infinite distance and are right up in your head; everything put into dissonant form with the help of unconventional songwriting. This album is my personal key to the icelanding black metal madness that I've ignored for way too long! Lukas Kaufmann

It's hard to pick a favourite track. This is the only album i have so far deemed as "perfect", where every track, even the intro, is just a masterpiece in its own right. From the hard hitting Perturbator's Theme to the emotional title track, its 68 minutes of perfection. 10/10. connivingkhajiit
