Deep through forests, a wizard makes his pace
Searching for ingredients to immortalize his race
To craft a brew, one of which he'll share with few
Laughing at the gods, mortality disgraced
He slinks through shadows in the pits of caverns deep
In the belly of a mountain, where the Goblins creep
Casting spells where unholy demons dwell
Searing, freezing, arcane tricks, death has come to reap
He's conjuring flame to vanquish his foes
Scrying into planes and unearthly realms
Tearing through notes in pursuit of his goals
Peering down orbs into blasphemous hells
Spiraling up the staircase, the wizard now ascends
Retrieving mystic glassware, his work begins again
Crushing, mixing, stirring, pouring, drinking all around
Concocting a potion, to death no longer bound!
Crossing the dunes, burning white sands
A valley of bones in his wake
Calimport lies, a den of deceit
Siphoning blood and the venom of snakes
Wading through slime, trudging through muck
The mage, exhuming their graves
Catacombs rot, plague-ridden ghouls
Extracting their tongues with the tip of his blade
Orcish teeth, Kobold feet, Goblin nails, Dragon scales
Wyvern stings, Harpy wings, Gorgon eyes, swarming flies
Golem flesh, oozing mesh, Griffon tails, Banshee wails
Ogre lungs, Mimic tongues, Lich's breath, a pinch of death
I've gotten myself into GR by first getting their last album, then decided to give this one a go too. Atoms divide, life decays, seems we are into nuclear explosions here, that is how GR feels, a powerful and fast blitz and stormy riffs and groovy hardcorish - thrashy blasts. Highly recommended for all thrash lovers out there. Toxic Holocaust does come in mind, true that, Wraith, Municipal Waste fans should love this ! sachavonkarl74
