The Serpent Seal - 01 - Dying

This is a demo version of the song "The Lord Impaler" from our debut Admire The Cosmos Black. It was recorded during the 2006 prerecording sessions, back when we used to also have synths (played by Michael "Nosferatu" Temelkos). A semi-serious attempt to mix & master the song was made just to make it listenable.

Sample from the movie "Dracula" of F.F. Coppola (1992).

This unreleased song is part of our free compilation "Demology" which we compiled and shared at our first live show after 16 years (May 13, 2016), and are now making available over the internet.

The Lord Impaler 2006 (Unreleased)

The last song (10) of our debut album "Admire The Cosmos Black" (2011, self-financed).

Lyrics:
Three times fourteen and the world undone
Three times foreseen and the body gone
Three times unseen and the morning call

Dreamtime Heresy

Twelve failed rebels in the land of twelve tribes
Chosen fishers with powers of devils
Twelve to live by the sword
And die by the sword

Praise the son of Panther
The king of the strawy throne
And leave the dead bury themselves

The skinned camel spoke his ways of desert
Human dignity is drawn in shallow waters
A head in the plate for only death is real
Dreamtime Heresies

Wandering in the curvy hills of Magdala
(The sister, the wife, the whore)
Waste your days to the last of lies...

An eye for an eye
A soul for a soul
Slave to the god of death
Blessed cannibalism

Die, hanged on the cross
One nail at a time...
Pleasure must be felt fully.
Your agony,
Excitement channelled to us,
By the screams of Mary!

Another pig in heaven
No regrets for us, pure!
We've gained by sins
Our thrones in Hell.
Our Souls are dressed in glory!

We are born no slaves,
No sheep of your god.
We have wings
And lungs of flames,
Unseen by your eyes...
We are Devils in disguise!

The chains are broken,
We, wolves, are free.
The one you caught was King
...But sheep, we still smell your fear.
There's no Empire
To cover you this time...!

"I am to scatter in the winds
I am on the opposite bank
Yet, I hold the key to your kingdom!"

Δεινέ λαοψαρά, που διαφεντεύεις τον κόσμο από τον αχυρένιο σου θρόνο
Πότε θα μας αφήσεις να δούμε τον ήλιο με τα δικά μας μάτια;
Πότε ν' ακούσουμε το κελάρυσμα του νερού;
Ο τόπος σου κι αν είναι γαλήνιος, στεγνός ειν' από φώς και ήχους...

Die, hanged on the cross
One nail at a time...
Pleasure must be felt fully.
Your agony,
Excitement channelled to us,
By the screams of Mary!

Another pig in heaven
No regrets for us, pure!
We've gained by sins
Our thrones in Hell
Our Souls are dressed in glory!

We are born no slaves,
No sheep of your god.
We have wings
And lungs of flames,
Unseen by your eyes...
We are Devils in disguise!

Away from the table of kings we will feast
Dressed in ancient light, Satyr with us
Tasting the Hellenic wine, laughing...


Lord Impaler - Dreamtime Heresy

This is the song "The Lord Impaler" as it appeared in our debut album Admire The Cosmos Black.

Mixed and mastered at Molla Lydstudio, Norway, by Knut M. Valle.
Drums performed by Hellhammer (Mayhem/Arcturus).

The fog hits my eyes
As I stand in silence
Lust after for release
Rise up against faith

This hunting drove me
To the towers of despair
Now I raise a horde
Gathered under my hate

Silently we marched
Covered by pitch-black skies
And stealthy I slipped
In my enemy's bed

Those who now reside
In the Ninth Circle of Hell
Will shed their tears
As I sit upon my throne

Nature's deep moaning
For my bloodthirsty vengeance
They’ve humbled my trust
Now I swear to the cross
That betrayed me
To return from my grave
And repay my pain

Clouds hide the sky
Darkness falls around
Its veil conquers the night
And my enraged soul

Raise the banner of war
March with my troops
Close the doors to the East
Behold my kingdom!

My blood-colored legend
Through the mist of the past
Will be spreading terror
In human hearts...

With the cross involved
Where no hearts are in excess
I fought alone
But yet the City fell

With a death in Arges
Rather filthy Turkish hands
I swore to return
But my blood betrayed me again!

May I ruled harsh
With an iron will and stake
In honour fall
To be lost in the storm

Nature's deep moaning
For my bloodthirsty vengeance
They’ve humbled my trust
Now I swear to the cross
That betrayed me
To return from my grave
And repay my pain

Clouds hide the sky
Darkness falls around
Its veil conquers the night
And my enraged soul

Raise the banner of war
March with my troops
Close the doors to the East
Behold my kingdom!

Lord Impaler - Babylon Whore

Lord Impaler is a Hellenic melodic black metal act. Unlike most Greek black metal bands, our musical direction has a strong scandinavic flavor. Unlike the majority of contemporary metal bands that succumbed to the triumph of 'fragmentaire', we present a kind of black metal that is rarely met anymore, pure to the tradition and the origin, presented in a modern way and worked with stellar technics.

Formed in late 1998 in Kastoria, Greece, we proceeded to record and release our first demo "The Lord Impaler" in 1999, followed by "Twilight Wander" in 2001. We also gave 2 live shows in 1999 and 2000. Then the band went into hiatus. Risen from the dead in 2005, we discarded most of our old stuff and went on to release "Promo 2005". In 2008 we participated in a 4-way split released on 10" vinyl format under the title "The Ascending Novelty". In 2009 we released another demo under the very original title "Demo 2009", showcasing music of our forthcoming debut album.

In 2010 we finished the recordings of our first full-length album "Admire the Cosmos Black" which was under constant development since 2005. The album contains 10 tracks spanning over 1 hour in duration and was released in 2011 (self financed). It was mixed and mastered at Molla Lydstudio by Knut M. Valle. Drums were performed by the legendary Hellhammer (Mayhem). It has received very good comments and got "Pick of the Month" by the greek Metal Hammer mag (September 2011, Hellenic Assault).

Current lineup consists of Tragon, Lord Nebulah and Phlegethon.

We currently work on new matterial for our second album.
