Invoking all that is chemical
A sick fantasy of death
The sky blackens, the wind blows cold
As radiation entombs the earth
All that's left is desperation
Surging forward into the abyss
The mist grips the back of your throat
Ears ring from the nuclear hiss
Echoes from the chemical void
Atomic winds swallow the sun
Echoes from the chemical void
Darkness prevails and all is gone
A slow descent into blackness
The frost thickens and caresses the skin
Morbid thoughts of mass destruction
The withered earth – death's cold grin
Drenched in panic and chaos
People but ghosts in the shadow of death
Terror grey in chemical dusk
One final glow before the end
Echoes from the chemical void
Atomic winds swallow the sun
Echoes from the chemical void
Darkness prevails and all is gone
Echoes from the chemical void
Atomic winds swallow the sun
Echoes from the chemical void
Darkness prevails and all is gone

Voices from the void are calling
Echoes haunt the vacant skies
Winged angels once – now falling
Death looks on with burning eyes...
Into the darkness
Into the unknown
Fires burning bright - these gates of horror
Swimming broken tides - the final slaughter
Eternal darkness beckons before the slumber
The abyss reaches out and pulls us under
Into the darkness
Into the unknown

Lost in the Static

She stares at the screen
Bloodshot eyes, but it's routine
In another world, a maze of black and white
A spectral voice from beyond, inside
Scourge the mind! Tortured soul!
Lost in the static! Devoid of all control!
Trapped hands reach out
Hear her voice now
Eyes Fading, Light Fading, Voice Fading out
Eyes Fading, Light Fading, Voice Fading out again
She stares at the screen
Vacant thoughts, silent scream
In another world, a maze of black and white
A mother's child no more, spiritual demise
Scourge the mind! Tortured soul!
Lost in the static! Devoid of all control!
Trapped hands reach out
Hear her voice now
Eyes Fading, Light Fading, Voice Fading out
Eyes Fading, Light Fading, Voice Fading out again
Trapped hands reach out
Hear her voice now
Eyes Fading, Light Fading, Voice Fading out.
Eyes Fading, Light Fading, Voice Fading out again...

Seduction signals
She stares in the absence of light
A silhouette of death approaches now
Her...
Sinister attraction
Cold hands crawl this motionless tomb
Her pallid image becomes clearer now
Her...
She whispers in my ear, her voice an eerie drone.
“Let serenity take you now, you are not alone”
Her...

Man I’ve devoured this album countless times and I don’t think this group will wear on me anytime soon. The vocals are perfect for this sound, the production is ideal; the drums are perfectly garage’d. Cannot wait for the next project.

Coagulating Darkness
by Hellripper
supported by 13 fans who also own “Lost in the Static EP”
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.
