Obscura - Ocean Gateways

When the sky opens
We praise and worship

I wear the mark of the ancients
surrounded by those who share my plight
there is no equal for the vengeance we seek
now call upon the creatures of the dead night

the smell of decay spreads
as the blood moon begins to rise
we hang the guilty as an offering
cleanse the soil of those who defy

be reborn through the flames of the ancients
the souls that lived before your gods and demons

screams lure the innocent,
and those unluckly enough to hear the call
life clings in the mouth of the forest
where all life that enters, will soon bow and fall

the centuries before man,
soaked this dirt with bloodshed
now that the tides of torment rises again
we become one with them

be reborn through the flames of the ancients, (we become one with them)
the souls that lived before your gods and demons (we become one with them)

their hollowed faces line these trees
the sky opens, to exact revenge upon the weak

the wind cuts like glass,
against the skin, into the skin
step ever so lightly,
or succumb to the evil within
defiling the corpses, of innocent children
this is what we were
driven to, a pitiful game
after raping our minds, your time will come
soon

come forth and claim the offering
your kind is not wanted here

the screams are deafening, I knew they would follow
the bodies lie hollow, no shame for the born slaves

I hear someone walking in my woods
Call of the siren, listen to her voice, listen to her voice

Hunters

now, cleanse your mind
enter the womb of chaos
distorted by design
numbers begin to speak
as the branded fall in line
"commence the sequence",

prisoner of madness
dreamer of liberation
tuning the instrument of death
notes sing through their bodies
a blank stare, in her eyes
"I will not become...

their faceless expression, while bound to this sentence.
a permanent veil, this shell of a man

inject and replace
those afraid to search for the unknown
yet we welcomed this new world with open arms

praise him, kneel to us
makeshift woven god

when the planet speaks,
delusions of hope
entice us with immortality
only to, leave us wandering
through the ocean of sand
never finding our way,
delirium

the power hungry
feast upon the flesh
I will not stay in this
world of death, rot, and regret
failure to connect,
the signs shown to us
and what we choose to forget
this world of death, rot, and regret

praise him, kneel to us
makeshift woven god

when the masked one speaks,
prayers of fear
show us our own mortality
only to, keep us where we stand
with open lifeless eyes
encoded with the brand
never to be free

one step, out of mind
an error within the system
constructing a new timeline
broken reality, I've shut my eyes
and learned to die

dreamer of madness
prisoner of liberation
tuning the instrument of death
notes sing throughout the hillside
that blank stare, in her eyes
"I will not become...

INCARCERATION is surely one of the most intense Death Metal acts worldwide. Did you ever see a Incarceration live ritual on stage ? You should, it's insane, it's fast, bloody and straight forward Death Metal deeper than to the bone. You can feel their power and passion the whole set long.
Now the time has come to unleash this beast on CD, Vinyl and Download. The beast contains 10 brandnew songs and called „CATHARSIS“. You can expect brutal, fast, catchy, intense and insane Death Metal. Incarceration built their own style of Death Metal.

The band about 'Catharsis':
„It feels like we synthesized in half an hour the suffering and pain of a whole life. The songwriting lasted six years, and there you have a 'best of' of our most killer riffs and our most extreme feelings unleashed through pure death metallic spiritual regurgitation. The goal was to wash our souls and our past through extreme art, extreme music. That’s what we mean with ‘Catharsis’ - you’ll understand when you listen to it. This release is dedicated to you Diehards into the fastest and most frenetic riffs of earlier Slayer, Sepultura, Repugnant, Repulsion, Excoriate, Dark Angel and so on (you know what I mean). For those who already saw us live, know our EP Sacrifice or at least have heard songs like Forsaken and Forgotten you know what to expect: nothing less than an overdose of pure merciless killer death metal devastation, pushed to level 666! Chaos!!!!!“

III - Devouring Darkness

INCARCERATION - Obsessed By Death

Black Metal the way it was meant to be played, raw, aggressive, cold  and with underground attitude!
Grim & cold Black Metal from Dutch soil!

As a small country, the Dutch are far from doing bad when it comes to their contribution to the black metal scene, on the contrary and Tarnkappe proved this in 2014 with “Tussen Hun en de Zon”, a largely left unnoticed record of great magnitude, shame on you all! As a project of two members of bands such as Kjeld, Salacious Gods, Lugubre these guys are deeply rooted in the underground.

‘Winterwaker’ (meaning “Guardian of Winter” in English) by Tarnkappe is the follow-up that proves this quality-approach in full. In this case you will be caught by surprise totally, since this is a classic Black Metal album that needs to be heard. We would dare say this the traditional 90’s Black Metal record we all have been waiting for, records like this are not made anymore...

If you enjoy your Black Metal with an organic, natural sound, Tarnkappe will be on your to get. We would say that Tarnkappe revives the old 90’s Scandinavian spirit in full, but this would not justify what this band has achieved here. They are original enough to have their own sound. Great songs, razorsharp guitar riffs, insane vocals and a topnotch production is what you get. A hypnotizing, gloomy setting that makes this release sound ritualistic and captivating. All delivered in an ice-cold artwork.

If you like it cold, grim and traditional, and still feel melancholic on the early 90’s scene, then you need Tarnkappe!
