Black Metal.

[Hasselman]

Haven't heard Solar Soul yet, but it would likely dwell near or at the bottom of the list.

I got it a few days after the release. It's a great album. Not "WOW, HOLY SHIT, IT'S FUCKING AWESOME, DUDE!" but great enough. I just got kinda dissapointed. I was hoping for some more "back to the roots" music. But there's a few songs on that I really really like.

 

[Alter]

I really like the lyrics on Ceremony Of Opposites. Not because they're "God hating", but I just like them. I actually laughed the first time I heard To Our Matyrs.

"I spit at your god's face
I piss on the cross
I vomit on the holy bible
I shit on the blessed whore and her bastard son"

I just think it's so hilarious. Haha.

I always found lyrics like these boring and tasteless. There are much better ways to saying "fuck you" to religion.

 

[Hasselman]

Yeah yeah, but I just said I found them hilarious and entertaining. But yeah, it could contain a lot more argumentation about the hate of religion than just "I vomit on the holy bible".

Yup.

[skeptik]

Dethrone the Son of God
Rip the sacred flesh
Sodomize the holy asshole
Drink the red blood of the mother of earth
Masturbation on the dead body of christ
The king of Jews is dead
and so are the lies
Vomit on the host of Heaven
Masturbate on the throne of God
Break the seals of angels
Drink the sweet blood of Christ
Taste the flesh of the priest
Sodomize holy nuns
The king of Jews is a liar
The Heavens will burn
Dethrone the son of God
God is dead
Holyness is gone
Purity is gone
Prayers are burned
Covered in black shit
Rape the holy ghost
Unclean birth of Jesus Christ
Heaven will fall
Fuck the church
Fuck Christ
Fuck the Virgin
Fuck the gods of Heaven
Fuck the name of Jesus



Jesus Is Doomed
Jesus is fucking doomed
His death is coming soon
This time he will not rise
We'll make sure he fucking dies
Doomed Doomed Jesus is Doomed
Destroy the Holy Ghost
The one we hate the most
Enjoy eternal life
With out Jesus Christ
Doomed Doomed Jesus is Doomed



Goat of a Thousand Young
Figures robed in black sworn to secrecy
Blazing candles placed in the sing of Baphomet

Watching fires rise
Now we burn the skies

Bound by the spells from the ancient pagan rite
Gaze upon the ram the exalted Satanas
Now we clean the air with unholy scent
Spitting on the cross, honor Astaroth

Watching fires rise
Now we burn the skies

Fear the stench of the cauldron
Satiate the beast
The precious jehovah
Lies dead in spite
Now drink from the chalice
Sip the pleasures of life
Soon we will be enlightened
Bow to the hermaphrodite

Goat of a thousand young

We thrive in the shadows
In darkness we preside
May the cloaked death carry us
Into the flame-licked sky
May the minions rejoice
For our new millenium
Revel, rebel, indulge
While the blind sink into cold burial



The Oath
I've watched as your empires have fallen
And laughed as your gods have all cried
I've tempted the souls of your pious
And tainted their minds with my lies
I've traveled across all the earth
And I've cursed it with each step I've taken
I've shed the most innocent of blood
In the name of that which you call Satan

There are no chains which can hold me
No sword which can pierce through my skin
There are no saints I've not slaughtered
And no evil I've not taken within
There is no sin I've not tasted
No blasphemy I have not embraced
No rule or law I've not broken
No scripture I have not defaced

The oath which binds me to this world
For past times and those yet to come
This oath which has left me immortal
And allows me to outlive the sun
Death it shall never embrace me
It's cold grasp shall not touch my life
I'm bound by the oath to this world
Forever free to spread pestilence and strife

[Mort Divine]

Oh shit, I forgot all about the new Belenos! Yeah, that should be fantastic.

 

[Jreg]

But yeah, it could contain a lot more argumentation about the hate of religion than just "I vomit on the holy bible".

Maybe so, but that still doesn't change the fact that when I hear this...

"Ghouls attack the church
Crush the holy priest
Turning the cross towards hell
writhe in Satan's flames"

...I feel compelled to go out on a Sunday morning and lay to waste a congregation or two.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Alatyr - Alatyr
Dodsferd - Cursing Your Will To Live

Alatyr - Alatyr

[Mort Divine]

Oh, I forgot Fucking Your Creation was a 2007 release. That is pretty much up there with Cursing Your Will To Live.

Also Angantyr's Hævn deserves a mention.

 

[George]

Fractal Possession!

I thought I'd be the only one who likes this one.

No way, that is a good release.

I missed the Samael discussion, but I'm glad to hear that Blood Ritual is their best release seeing as I just won a copy on ebay.
