Definitely Death, that was the first band to come to my mind. I've never really paid much notice to Psycroptic's lyrics but I'll have to check 'em out now. Nile has some amazing lyrics as well. I'm a huge fan of Egyptian history so I always enjoy reading their songs.
Nile? Yeah I thought so too!!-- until I read this:
Song: Masturbating The War God
Album: Black Seeds of Vengeance
Evil sick flames cast uncertain shadowsin the dimly lit Temple of
Anhur as we count the dead and vanquished by hacking off their
phalluses and piling the severed hands before the living stone
image of God.
The shamed and humbled women of the subjugated kneel in hopeless
Aquiescence as we grasp them by the hair and force them to serve
our father Anhur.
Yea we impale them on the massive stone member of the Ithyphallic
War God until the backs of their throats are torn out and their
bowels are ripped apart.
One by one we force the female captives to serve the Ahati until
the Gods legs are awash with blood and his phallus drips with
red and black gore Un snem sheth tesher mekhsefu parthal m aba
neth Anhur.
We lay our bloodstained weapons of Iron on the altar of Anhur and
His Seed blesses us with strength to slay our enemies Like as unto
Menthu we have become Ithyphallic.
The mighty Sekhmet is with us.
Okay, not to be prudish or anything, but... Their first two albums had a lot of perverted stuff like that but it tried to make it sound nice and antiquated in the way that it was written. I'm no expert on Egyptian mythology so I don't know if any of this has historical accuracy. But that's besides the point; I don't know if anyone else feels this way, but I think the whole "killing and sodomizing virgins" theme is so fucking lame/old.
