In Defiance
02:28
|

|
In the current age of man we are told to have
Faith in God, distrust for man
Non-believers and free thinkers are among the few
That see through the lies, adherence to you
For the ones of the cross you will never see
A life of fortune and indulgence
Never ever tell me how to live
For I am a god and I am in defiance
Epicurean power
I am in defiance
In the name of Lucifer
In the current age of man we are told to fear
The flames of Hell and that Armageddon's near
Open minds free from lies are among the few
That bask in riches, adherence to you
For the ones of the cross you will never see
A life of fortune and indulgence
Never ever tell me how to live
For I am a god and I am in defiance
Epicurean power
I am in defiance
In the name of Lucifer
Epicurean power
I am in defiance
In the name of Lucifer
I am in defiance
Epicurean power
I am in defiance
In the name of Lucifer

Vicious Life
04:05

Every day it cycles through my mind
The bitterness of pure treachery
No pain or bliss, it’s all the same to me
A private haven for our own
Hell
Hell
I’m in Hell
Vicious life
Hell
Hell
I’m in Hell
Vicious life
An endless circle
Of fraud and truth
For I comply
To my vicious life
Cerberus, unfold the misty waters
Enter bliss, for Earth is still and pure
Evilness, for I can see and hear
The sounds of nature for our own
Hell
Hell
I’m in Hell
Vicious life
Hell
Hell
I’m in Hell
Vicious life
An endless circle
Of fraud and truth
For I comply
To my vicious life
There is no honor and never do we sin
The prize from hope is locked within
Deflect the norm and deny all faith
For nature’s path is callous in state
Hell
Hell
I’m in Hell
Vicious life
Hell
Hell
I’m in Hell
Vicious life
An endless circle
Of fraud and truth
For I comply
To my vicious life

Uprising
03:54
|
|||
|
Witness now authority for your people have spoken
We deny the tyranny of blind faith and deceit
Liberty promotes freedom of the mind
Never shall we accept power from a futile fraud
Rise up my allies
For we hold the key of the future
Never ever bow down to the Trinity
For the authority holds it near
Why should I collapse to the masses in spite of their unknowing?
And what gives them the right to police truth and morality?
A corrupt and regressive society
Is all that we have become
Revolt and speak your mind
For the authority is not to be feared
Witness the authority of the people
For we have seen through the lies
Take the herd, for they are yours to slaughter
While we remain free with our minds

Toxic Underground
03:04
|
|||
|
Resist and challenge the status quo
We are the outcasts, the leaders of society
Vexed by blind comprehension
We are the heretics, deniers of the trinity
As knowledge expands, faith fades away
Impious is what we are for we seize the day
Fear not for we have the power
To transcend and prevail over all
Let’s fucking go
Toxic underground
Chaotic revolt
Hey, hey, hey
Knowledge stems from the ominous mind
Eccentrics alike
Hey, hey, hey
Gather in masses, prepare to rise
Blasphemous – that is what we are
Ancient ways shall meet their end
Irreverent and eternally defiant
We are vast and eminent
Let’s fucking go
Toxic underground
Chaotic revolt
Hey, hey, hey
Knowledge stems from the ominous mind
Eccentrics alike
Hey, hey, hey
Gather in masses, prepare to rise
Chaotic revolt
Hey, hey, hey
Knowledge stems from the ominous mind
Eccentrics alike
Hey, hey, hey
Gather in masses, prepare to
Chaotic revolt
Hey, hey, hey
Knowledge stems from the ominous mind
Eccentrics alike
Hey, hey, hey
Gather in masses, prepare to rise

Open the arcane
Wisdom of thy design
Black God
And thy might of inquiry
An earthly truth I seek
For knowledge is placed within
The self of flesh and bone
Invocation is of the past
For what the world holds to be just and pure
Are only created among unwise men
I speak the truth, the words of the rational
These are the words of Satan
Liberty chants the scriptures of Satan
Liberty chants the scriptures of Satan
I see idols of human creation
None that contain celestial powers
Ironic that people fear divine nature
An aura not of this world
Yet created here
None shall be suppressed
By the rules of tradition and dogma
That has no truth
Or validity
Possessed and entwined with secrets
Knowledge of the truth
Blind from all
A field for sheep
Man must destroy the ones of the church
All symbols, text, and flesh shall burn
Divine nothingness; blaspheme the one on the cross
An aura of deceit, grime, and corruption
History shall be made
Forever shall I invert the right-hand path ways
I question all creations and teachings
From God
An earthly presence without existence
I chant the scriptures of Satan
Liberty chants the scriptures of Satan
Liberty chants the scriptures of Satan
Invoke the words from within, freedom

Vile creation emasculate
All that you have been fed
Reject the model
Revoke the lies
Bring forth the end of times
Don't feed the church
Revolt at all costs
A new age has arrived
Reject the model
Revoke the lies
Bring forth the end of times
Don't feed the church
Revolt at all costs
A new age has arrived
Immoral and evil
We are among the few
Vile and wicked
Society's lone few
Engulfed by sin
Immoral and evil
We are among the few
Vile and wicked
Society's lone few
Engulfed by sin
Obscene desire, come forth
Prideful lust within
Deny their ways
Challenge their lies
We are the Antichrist
Avenge the fallen
For they died without cause
A new eye for life
Deny their ways
Challenge their lies
We are the Antichrist
Avenge the fallen
For they died without cause
A new eye for life
Immoral and evil
We are among the few
Vile and wicked
Society's lone few
Engulfed by sin
Immoral and evil
We are among the few
Vile and wicked
Society's lone few
Engulfed by sin
Immoral and evil

Serpentine Power
03:24
|
|||
|
The holy order has seen through their lies
Of self-deceit and distortion of their weak minds
Even at the pinnacle of ecclesiastical power
Have proclaimed an adverse oath, one for humanity
Distorted reality
Awaken from slumber
Never be too blind to see
Serpentine power
Take pride in intellect
Over the inferior order
For they are too blind to see
Serpentine power
Even their leaders have grown beyond their faith
A rejection of their own true god
The swarm is outraged at this act of evolution
To destroy the church from within
Distorted reality
Awaken from slumber
Never be too blind to see
Serpentine power
Take pride in intellect
Over the inferior order
For they are too blind to see
Serpentine power
Distorted reality
Awaken from slumber
Never be too blind to see
Serpentine power
Take pride in intellect
Over the inferior order
For they are too blind to see
Serpentine power
Take pride in intellect
Over the inferior order
For they are too blind to see
Serpentine power

Greed for Greed
06:41
|
|||
|
Curse them all, the corporate end
For they cannot sustain the crest
I will rise above them all
And claim their tower, oppress them all
I am the voice for desire and control
Ambiguous hero for the people unknown
But they do not know the real me
For I am greedy for the greed
No chance
No money
No control
Desire is the grand apex of power
Voracity is the serpent
Envious of power
I will rise from the flames
And engulf my share of greed
Blind hope is a weakness
Injected to those of the cross
Bless me not for I know that
I am greedy for greed
Fear them all, I shall not
For they will never control us all
I will rise above you all
And claim their tower, oppress you all
I am the source for envious pride
Trust in God will meet its demise
You will never know the ones at the peak
For we're all greedy for the greed
No chance
No money
No control
Desire is the grand apex of power
Voracity is the serpent
Envious of power
I will rise from the flames
And engulf my share of greed
Blind hope is a weakness
Injected to those of the cross
Bless me not for I know that
I am greedy for greed
No chance
No money
No control
Desire is the grand apex of power
No chance
No money
No control
Desire is the grand apex of power
Voracity is the serpent
Envious of power
I will rise from the flames
And engulf my share of greed
Blind hope is a weakness
Injected to those of the cross
Bless me not for I know that
I am greedy for greed

Coagulating Darkness
by Hellripper
supported by 4 fans who also own “In Defiance”
Pretty much the best Black/Speed Metal I've listened to since I learned about Evil Invaders and Vulture. Everything you'd love to be reminded of about this musical era is there. The influences are what you'd expect too: Motörhead, Venom, Bathory, early Slayer, Celtic Frost; aggressive vocals, tortured guitar solos, pounding drums; everything is fast, clear and still a little grimy, but without reverb cranked up to the max. Amazing band, amazing album.
