Fog Over Whitechapel — This opening track launches a brutal ritual concept album that reimagines Jack the Ripper as an ancient horror stalking gaslit London. Industrial metal, gothic doom, and occult theatrics collide in a suffocating fog of myth and murder. Full album coming Halloween 2025.

Lyrically paints the poverty and desperation of 1888 Whitechapel while hinting at an unseen hunger stirring in the mist. A shadow moves with intent, though whether man or something darker is left uncertain.

[Verse 1]
Hush — hush —
I walk where gaslight cracks the stone.
Fog drinks secrets from your bones.
My boots pound streets of rust and prayer,
My breath a curse, my grin a snare.

[Chorus 1]
In fog I wake — your pulse undone —
A myth reborn beneath the gun.
Gaslight hums my gutter vow —
I am the blade that carves you now.

[Verse 2]
Steel whispers steam in alley jaws —
(I cut, I carve — the god I draw)
Rust and silk beneath my thumb —
(I hush the street — the ritual drum)

Your breath is frost — your prayer is ash —
(I grin where lanterns flicker, crash)
Fog-bound throat — the oath you keep —
(A hymn of iron where secrets sleep)

[Chorus 2]
In fog I wake — the myth divine —
Your heartbeat hums inside my spine.
Lanterns drown where shadows bow —
I am the cut that feeds you now.

[Bridge]
Come closer — hush — your pulse, my hymn —
Gaslight swears the fog grows thin.
I break the street — I breathe you whole —
A throat of wire, a soul of coal.

[Breakdown]
Hounds in steam — I tear the sleep —
Scrap-bound hands — the butcher creeps —
Chant the oath — the fog devours —
Gutter hymn — the iron flowers.

[Final Chorus]
In fog I wake — your fear confined —
A myth reborn inside your mind.
Lanterns choke — your secrets bow —
I am the blade — I am you now.

[Outro]
When fog returns, so too shall I —
Your throat, my blade, Whitechapel’s cry.

Lyrics:

THE DARK FOREST IS COMING ALIVE
WE WAIT FOR THE HERO FROM THE SKY
TO VANQUISH ALL OF THIS PAIN
TO PUT AN END TO THIS BLOOD RED RAIN

RESURRECT YOU, GRINNING AT THE ALTAR
RESURRECT – TRIGGER COCKED, TURN THE LIGHTS OUT
LIGHTS OUT – GORE – DARK INCANTATION
THE DEMON FORSAKEN

“JOIN US...”

BOOK OF THE DEAD PASSED DOWN FROM THE AGES
ALL THE WORDS INKED WITH BLOOD ON THE PAGES

BOUND WITH THE FLESH OF A HUMAN FACE
AND NOW ANOTHER DEMON STANDS IN HER PLACE
SHUT IT OFF! SHUT IF OFF! TURN OFF TAPE!

“KILL HER IF YOU CAN LOVER BOY...”

RAISE THE GUN TO HER FACE AND FUCKING DESTROY!

SHE HAS SUCH BEAUTIFUL EYES
THEY’D LOOK BETTER OUT OF HER HEAD
OH, SHE’D LOOK BETTER DEAD

“YOU WILL DIE LIKE THE OTHERS BEFORE YOU”

“ONE BY ONE WE WILL TAKE YOU”
