Holy fuck this song rules



Real fucking Br00tal!!!!!!

Song explanation by vocalist Jason Wisdom:

The lyrical concept for this song is short and sweet. Necrotizing Fasciitis means "flesh eating bacteria", which fits the aura of the song perfectly it is nasty. However, as is often true of great songs, there is an underlying metaphor in the text. In this case, the plague is Jesus. Kind of a dark metaphor huh? Well may, but the idea is very simple. Flesh, or more specifically the sinful nature of carnal self, is something that all humans struggle with, and Christ is the only true power for defeating that sinful nature. And so, we cry out for Him to infest our bodies and devour our flesh. EMBRACE THE PLAGUE!

/\ I will respectfully disagree with the awesomeness of that song...and I'm a Christian. Even the lyrical message is kinda weird. One of the big problems with a lot of Christian metal bands is that they try to be dark and evil in their lyrics, something that is pretty much the opposite of the faith. Christian black metal bands do the whole "switch the satanic metaphors with Christian ones" and end up going "praise t3h lord of darkness!!" and then say they're talking about God. The same thing goes for Christian metalcore. If you wanna talk about Christianity, fine, but don't try to "market" it to metalheads like its a business and turn it into some dark kvlt worshipping flesh eating plagues, etc. Just talk about the religion as it is.

Just FYI, this never happens.

Also, I love that Xasthur song.

Frost Like Ashes - Lord Of Darkness

Colours now fading, the sun burns dark orange
The trees ominous silhouettes
Foul cease their chorus cold winds taking over
Howling through bleak crevasses

With the forest eclipsed sun
And black clouds erasing stars
The crescent moon hoarding its light for its own
I search for consolation that my world’s not ceased to be
I sense a night is dawning as never seen before…

I pray…

He who made the Pleiades and handcrafted dark Orion
He who formed the heavens with the darkness His foundations
He who dawns the blackness and darkens day to night
Whose canopy around Him is the darkness of the sky
Come now… Take me!

We walk through dark forests with hells down below us
Far rises oft blacken the skies
No sounds from above to guide as we roam
Only screams for mercy and more screams belie

So we wander, we forsaken?
Could this travesty be true?
That Creator cursed His creatures to this dark?
A distant thunder then reminds us that we are not alone
Leaving our blood-wrought eyes searching for a spark

One Spark!

He who made the Pleiades and handcrafted dark Orion
He who formed the heavens with the darkness His foundations
He who dawns the blackness and darkens day to night
Whose canopy around Him is the darkness of the sky
Come now… Take me!

A longing for the day of my Lord
A foolish and misguided desire
If you knew you would never welcome this wish
For that day is black as pitch abscessed light
Run as though you’re fleeing Anubis
Only to enter Death’s Door
Think you have rest betwixt silken sheets
No, it’s a bed of vipers he has laid in store!

So now my salvation rises above
So dark that it brightens my night
My nocturnal shining as blinding mid-day
I hear his voice echoing through my sighs

“It is I who forms the light, creating darkness for My own
Disaster from its stillbirth I behold
I will give you all the treasures of the darkness you desire
I’m your Creator For I know the deepest secrets of your soul

I who made the Pleiades and handcrafted dark Orion
I who parts the heavens with the darkness My foundations
I who dawns the blackness and darkens day to night
My canopy around Me is the darkness of the sky
Bow now… To Me!

I Am…I Am The Lord of Darkness…”

This was the main example I was thinking of when I wrote that. But bands like Horde also do that a lot (invert the inverted cross, abomination of the satanic pentagram, etc.)

I must say, much better than I expected.

I think it's probably their worst album, but it's still good.
