Holy Destroyer
04:10
|
|||
|
From the bowels of Hell
Satan arise
Take your course
Summoned forth
Protector of hate
Defender of wisdom
Conjured to destroy
The holy faith
Holy! Destroyer!
Holy! Destroyer!
Scorn the cross
Turn it upside-down
Burn the church
To the ground
Crushed by Hell
Unholy rebel
Raise the flag on high
Of wisdom and light
Holy! Destroyer!
Holy! Destroyer!

The Cold Grip of Death
04:21
|
|||
|
The funeral mist, the cold pouring rain
Enshrouds my flesh, and chills my veins
The call of death, the toll of the knell
Pierces my soul and consumes this icy shell
Unbearable loss, the heaviness of grief
The burden of existence, never put to sleep
Pursued by the scythe, eternally reaped
The bearer called death, buries me deep
It’s so cold
It’s so dim
This dank grave
Invites my corpse within
It’s so cold
It’s so grim
My flesh crumbles
From my rotten skin

Crucify the Proselytizer
04:04
|
|||
|
I ridicule the holy faith—Christ, I deride
I fucking deny the bastard son—Holiness defied
I mock the holy priest and his flock of sheep—and his deceitful lies
I criticize the sacred word—scripture defied
Crucify! Crucify! Crucify…the proselytizer!
Crucify! Crucify! Crucify…the proselytizer!
Priest, crucified on the inverted cross—the cross of Hell
I sneer at your attempt to persuade—with the stories you tell
I mock your words with recklessness—your falsehood I confront
I crucify the proselytizer—you pretentious cunt
Crucify! Crucify! Crucify…the proselytizer!
Crucify! Crucify! Crucify…the proselytizer!

Converted by Force
04:33
|
|||
|
Clench your unholiest weapon
And use it to slay the meek
Wrath upon all Christendom
Forcing faith to its knees
Converted, by force!
No mercy, no remorse!
Blight the sacred with the light
Of the blackest flame of night
Your sword will drip with blood
Of ignorance and hypocrisy
Converted, by force!
No mercy, no remorse!
You will deny, the holy word
You will reject
You will betray, your foul Lord
Utter disrespect
You will vanquish, the holy throne
Destroy the blessed
You will forsake, Christ reborn
You will oppress

Open Casket Stench
04:55
|
|||
|
Lifeless corpse, resting in peace
Once lover, once loved, now deceased
Laid to rest for eternity
Bereaved by those whom mournfully grieve
Death awaits,
I can hear it call
It’s your fate,
It comes for us all
Gazing upon the embalmed-yellow face
Whose waxen figure rests still in place
I catch the odor of formaldehyde
Reminding me who is dead, was once alive
Death awaits,
I can hear it call
It’s your fate,
It comes for us all

Hell’s mouth gapes with sin
I can feel it burning
It unfastens and draws me within
The flames are calling
I deny, I defy, I deny
Christ’s sacrifice
I deny, I defy, I deny
Christ’s sacrifice
Breath of inferno stinks of death
Smoke, ash, and bone
Set my soul aflame
Take me to Hell’s throne
I deny, I defy, I deny
Christ’s sacrifice
I deny, I defy, I deny
Christ’s sacrifice

Atheistic Might
03:46
|
|||
|
I recant the holy faith
I am the controller
Of my own fate
Turn the holy cross
Toward the flames
The foul name of God, I defame
With breath of fire
And burning will of steel
We’ll crush the holy faith
Atheistic might!
Blasphemous rite!
Blackest unholy force
Never show remorse
Darkest legion below
Destroy the sacred foe
Never cease to fight
With devastating might
Attack conquer destroy
Unholiness deployed
Creator of nothing, master of lies
I crush your altar and abjure the divine
Blaspheme the chapel
and holy trinity
Your fucking faith
Is nothing to me

Unholy Attack
01:42
|
|||
|
Invade the holy church, with the blackest of hate
Leave no pew upturned, it’s time to devastate
Desecrate the annex, and churn all that is sacred
Blapheme this holy ground, with unrestrained hatred
Attack! Attack! Unholy attack!
Attack! Attack! Never turn back!
Attack! Attack! Destroy, we destroy!
Attack! Attack! Destroy!
The hammer of Hell, comes down with a crushing thud
Contaminate the holy font, turning wine into blood
Spoil the bread, the wretched body of Christ
Burn every holy scripture—the tome of lies
Attack! Attack! Unholy attack!
Attack! Attack! Never turn back!
Attack! Attack! Destroy, we destroy!
Attack! Attack! Destroy!

Embalmed for Eternity
04:04
|

|
Embalmed for eternity
Embalmed for eternity
Embalmed for eternity
Embalmed for eternity
Laying upon the bed of death
Enduring the cancer
Consuming you from the inside
Gasp for breath
Entrails erode, consciousness subsides
Life denied
Organs fail, body becomes frail
Welcome to Hell
Laying upon the bed of death
Mortuary guest
Pumped full of preservatives
Made anew
Burning sensation in your veins
Scourging death
Onward to your wake, the end is here
Eternity is near
Laying upon the bed of death
Enduring the cancer
Consuming you from the inside
Gasp for breath

Denim Demon
03:06
|
|||
|
Like the thunder from above
I’m invoked with an apocalyptic roar
Storming on cloven hooves
To slay the faith with my sword
Crush the faith
Desecrate
Immolate
The denim demon
Clad in metal
Speed and spikes
Unholy strike
The denim demon
I was born to destroy
I am the punisher of filthy beliefs
I have come to erase
The crutch of the human race

Riddick makes no apologies or compromises for his unique vision, offering a myriad of influences from hard rock/heavy metal to technical death metal.

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.
