lyrics
BLIND OBEDIENCE
The God of Death, Pain and Decay, commands the undead to bring us his way
In blind obedience they follow his signs, pain and hatred lie in their eyes
They were meant to live eternally, in pain, fear and agony
They were meant to be the slaves of Death, never able to breathe their final breath
Vulcanus commands, the soldiers obey, they’ll fight till death
‘Saddle up your horses, raise your swords, obey my commands!
You must fight, destroy the false ones, each hanger-on
Who follow their leaders, without thinking, just like you’
The battle begins, show no mercy, chop off their heads
Beelzebub’s smiling, he’s gathering recruits for the legions of hell
Blindly they’re fighting, without any sense, they kill to kill
They’re caught in a spell, locked in a shell, prisoners of Hell
Their minds start to work, the spell’s losing grip, they fight to get free
They disobey their master and have their own will now, can’t you see
The evil force has lost its strength, the spell is broken
They turn to their master, chop off his head, the False One’s power is taken

Totally knocked me on my backside. Aggressive, fast, muscular Death Metal just as you'd expect from the Netherlands but with a great deal of mournful depth and melody that makes it very memorable from the off. Don't sleep on Burial Remains. poisonremedy

I missed out on this gem of an album by this Awesome band the first go around. However, with the Awesome newest release I had to check out the back catalog. Thank you De Profundis for the great METAL and to TO for bringing the music into the hands of us crazy METALHEADS. gwcon2006
