Richy Hambone, Lord of the Unknown This is peak Desecrator. This and Belly of the Beast from the same album. A savage metal band that, when they let their guard down and play from the heart, are proper heavy beyond tone, structure, and style. To quote Bruce Lee in Enter the Dragon, this album is rife with 'Emotional Content'. Favorite track: Wipe The Slate.

Summoning 04:27
Satanic Panic sets in Altars of greed and sin Light fades out No time for fear and doubt Chanting begins It's time for the Summoning, raise the dead from their graves Summoning, rise and walk the earth again Summoning, raise the dead from their graves Summoning, rise and walk the earth again Ancient tombs with powers to behold A lost language of unhinged words Day becomes night, evil blackens the sky No turning back as the darkness rises Don't break the rhythm of sacred verses March to the beat of the pounding drums Carry you away to the Summoning, raise the dead from their graves Summoning, rise and walk the earth again Summoning, raise the dead from their graves Summoning, rise and walk the earth again Summoning, raise the dead from their graves Summoning, rise and walk the earth again Summoning, raise the dead from their graves Summoning, rise and walk the earth again Again Come with me Summoning Summoning Summoning Summoning Summoning, raise the dead Summoning, raise the dead Summoning, raise the dead Summoning, raise the dead Summoning Summoning Summoning Summoning

Every day is run the same, you never learn you never change It's never you there's someone else to blame You start the game then choose to lose, never stopping, too confused You destroy yourself Crash and burn, drag all down around you Addiction and dysfunction, your life's distraction Again and again the cycle repeats The victim the child lives on Over and over the bullshit you breathe Weaving your webs thick and strong You're nothing, you're scum, the lowest form on earth No benefit except the knowledge of your death You should have been aborted, your birth not recorded Ink not wasted, your lungs now deflated My only satisfaction Is in your life's retratcion Public disgrace Hate at first sight, alright Hate at first sight, alright Hate at first sight, alright So many assholes, so few bullets, it's time to sharpen the knives You're a spreading disease, I cannot sit through it, this time we burn you alive Public disgrace Yeah Hate at first sight, alright Hate at first sight, alright Hate at first sight, alright Alright

Layers and layers of fire Scorched black stone underneath my feet Descending ever downward Miles beneath the earthly streets Air thick with sulphur burns my lungs Gasping for breath but it never comes Am I alive? Am I dead? Am I done? Dizzying thoughts, nowhere to run Is this real or is this hell? Have I renounced my mortal shell? Days going by, am I awake? Can you hear me scream? Can you hear me scream from the belly of the beast? Can you hear me scream? From the belly of the beast Can you hear me scream? From the belly of the beast A face without a name, my identity's gone Walk on in shame with the countless cursed horns How many days and weeks? I've lost track of time Has the world above even mourned that I died? Is this real or is this hell? Have I renounced my mortal shell? Days going by, am I awake? Can you hear me scream? Can you hear me scream from the belly of the beast? Can you hear me scream? From the belly of the beast Can you hear me scream? From the belly of the beast Can you hear me scream? From the belly of the beast Can you hear me scream? From the belly of the beast Down and down and down I go Seven levels of hell unknown Torment and torture is all I see Decades of punishment in front of me Down and down and down I go Seven levels of hell unknown Torment and torture is all I see Decades of punishment in front of me

Wheels turning, fires burning, get us to that stage Motor running, amps humming, we are fuelled with rage No stopping, jaw dropping, sweating through our jeans Leather, spikes, chains and mics, adrenaline and speed When the thrill and excitement dies All that's left, determined to survive When the sirens fade, cities ablaze Beg, steal or borrow just to get up on that stage Beg, steal or borrow, the ringing remains Five of the best to put you to the test Hardened by the road, young skin on old bones Stage to stage, we're ready to explode Never coming back, aussie thrash attack Stage lights for warmth, amp stacks for walls Slaves to entertain once the crowd walks through the door Beg, steal or borrow just to get up on that stage Beg, steal or borrow, the ringing remains We're what Cain was to Abel, at the front of the pack The point of the spear, we're the arrowhead Ugly as the music wants us to be Heavy as a freight train, writing in the devil's name Feeding his desire with burning hell fire

I can't see beyond my emotional state that I can't control anymore I can't breathe under waves of doubt about who and what I am anymore Pushed and pulled It's not right No stability No end in sight Fear of the future from doubts in the past No peace of mind to even them out The days grow harder and become the same The nights grow longer and linger in shame Pulled to pieces It feels right Deconstructed The end in sight Wipe the slate Wipe the slate clean and start again A new state A new state of mind to keep me alive and start again Alone in the crowd Alone in the crowd and I can't get out Alone in the crowd Alone in the crowd and I can't get out As I open my eyes I see the fire As I open my heart I feel the flame As I search inside I see desire As I look in your eyes I see the same A hunger deep inside that drives us A need that won't go away A longing to be whole that binds us Tomorrow's road starts today Alone in the crowd Alone in the crowd and I can't get out Alone in the crowd Alone in the crowd and I can't get out

Manic 03:53
Panic, pathetic, internal dialogue Dramatic, pragmatic, lack of control Swimming in emotion so thick I cannot breathe Fight against the current, drowning endlessly Make it through another day, make it look alright Hanging on with bony fists, white knuckles, hold on tight Darkness rises, fear takes control Manic depression, my head is a prison Total fixation with isolation Massive regression, my head is a prison Unclean obsession, my annihilation Pills, prescriptions, doctors, chemists, phychs Notes in session, are you feeling alright? Their words, degrees, they don't understand What I'm going through, the madness that I am No end, no cure, no release, must endure Walk it off, talk it out, chin up son it'll be alright It won't be alright Manic depression, my head is a prison Total fixation with isolation Massive regression, my head is a prison Unclean obsession, my annihilation There's a cancer growing inside my soul Fighting me to take control Eating from the inside out Taking form through fear and doubt Manic depression

High up in a room under lock and key My stories dance and sing songs about me With honest words about yesterday Bricked in by stone Take the pain away Cracks appear as life weathers the stones Once strong walls crumble, erode This cross I bear This cross I bear Light the bonfire A beacon of flame A hope in the darkness Showing the way, the way, the way, the way Vigil to my soul, lost forevermore Tribute to the past, never coming back Light the bonfire A beacon of flame A light in the dark Showing the way, the way, the way, the way

Stand straight, eyes forward, shoulders back, march Full attack, no defence, no retreat, charge Cattle-gated, railroaded, armed to the teeth Wide eyed, no emotion, nerves of steel Smoke 'em if you got 'em Cause we're going over the top Whistle blows, then heads exposed Barrels glow as the bullets flow Carnage never stops Smoke 'em if you got 'em Smoke 'em if you got 'em M.I.A, thought K.I.A, then prisoner of war All alone, body tested, pushed through more and more Iron fists, turned broken wrists, cling to steel cage door Sky explodes as fire coats the enemy camp floor Whoa, kill for country Whoa, on my command Whoa, kill for country Whoa, on my command Fire at will Whoa Whoa Smoke 'em if you got 'em Cause we're going over the top Whistle blows, then heads exposed Barrels glow as the bullets flow Carnage never stops Smoke 'em if you got 'em Smoke 'em if you got 'em Ha ha ha ha, smoke 'em if you got 'em

Biblical lies behind hateful eyes paint the scriptures of a jealous mind Inferior intellect, long lost dialect, manipulative prospect Renunciation was the order of the day, spill your pockets of all you can pay Funded by fear, prayer the disease Forgiveness, forgotten, only morals to appease Promises that you made Salvation was never paid Doesn't matter what you say It's better the devil that you know Feast on the famine that they sew into the dust Choking on the clarity you claim Bow before the sermon as the nails turn to rust And the corpse of the redeemer falls away Promises that you made Salvation was never paid Doesn't matter what you say It's better the devil that you know Proud on the surface to cover the envy Gluttonous greed, with lust in their eyes Vapid and vacant, slow in forgiveness The churches should burn from the anger and lies From the anger and lies We thrive Sacrament defiled Rise... Promises that you made Salvation was never paid Doesn't matter what you say It's better the devil that you know It's better the devil that you... Know

about

Desecrator’s new album SUMMONING.

Summoning is best described as a backwards sounding, yet forward moving statement in heavy metal.

An album that challenges the bands thrash metal roots, but reinforces their dominance in this field. A diverse cross section of song writing maturity, shown through tonal light and shade, rhythmic refrain and a greater focus on the song and its destination.

How good is heavy metal?
It’s not a question but a statement – and a statement DESECRATOR make well.
