In a land of mist
Icy fog cold and darkness consume a void where the shore of corpses rest
I feel a figure stalk these roads
An immortal giant slow
Transports me to a place devoid of light and shows me where Hel will roam
A place where no one dies but they're dead inside and they want to end it all
Shadows laid by a rooted tree above the spring from which the rivers weep
A place where the sick and old meet eternal cold and the Malice Striker gnaws
It fucking gnaws
Flesh will rot to mould and without remorse I will gladly await on my own
Deep in the mist and fog stands a blood stained dog as it guards its god
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. Odiumediae
The Alberta crushers hold tight to their rank, astral-gazing grindcore, staring down abyssal torment all the while. Bandcamp Album of the Day Mar 31, 2020
