lyrics

BAT

In the coldness of night
Nocturnal flight under the moon
The creature hunts for blood
And human flesh
Will soon be strewn
Terror from above
Swooping down in eventide
Storming on the wretched
Who will have no chance to hide

Searching, stalking, hunting
The chase has just begun

Diving, striking, slaying
The deed is dead and done

Beware of the BAT
When night falls all around
Face the bite
Fear for your life
Wings of death
Will strike you down
Chiroptera after dark
Your blood the final mark
Victims screaming out in pain
In the blackness BAT will reign

It's too late to escape
As the darkness closes in
Fangs await your blood
As they penetrate the skin
The slaughter never ends
And its thirst cannot be quenched
Blood forever spilling
Crimson wings forever drenched

Beware of the BAT
When night falls all around
Face the bite
Fear for your life
Wings of death
Will strike you down
Chiroptera after dark
Your blood the final mark
Victims screaming out in pain
In the blackness BAT will reign

Coagulating Darkness
by Hellripper

supported by 50 fans who also own “BAT”

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. Odiumediae

Wicked blackened/thrash. A great holdover while waiting for their new album on Peaceville to come out. Bart
