Pagan Altar - The Lords of Hypocrisy

I'm only putting this up for a temporary use (for the most part)

Pagan Altar was a NWOBHM/doom band that started back in the mid-to-late 70's - early 80's, if I recall correctly. They recorded their album "Volume 1" during that time period, and faded into obscurity.

They got back together in 2004, and proceeded to record some albums. This (The Lords of Hypocrisy) and Mythical & Magical being the recorded albums.

Lyrics:

Figures of Religion that preach to society, standing upright and tall
Screaming from the pulpit on Sunday morning
To save you from the fall
Can you hear them?
Can you see them?
Don't believe them; don't believe what they say!

Tales of heaven and life everlasting fear of the eternal fire,
Preaching lies of death and damnation,
Whilst lifting themselves ever higher.
Can you hear them?
Can you see them?
Don't believe them; don't believe what they say!

Death will come to even the righteous only the good die young.
So live your life the way that you want to,
Don't let them think they've won!
Can you hear them?
Can you see them?
Don't believe them don't believe what they say!

Unlock their minds and read their desires,
See them in a different light.
Pious figures reverently mumbling
But where did they spend last night?

They're creatures of the night,
They're creatures of the shadows,
That haunts the dark recesses of your mind,
They turn you from the light to live in a nightmare
Into souls that are mentally blind!


Disclaimer: I am in now way affiliated with any of these artists, I'm just introducing music to some people. If this is is requested to be taken off, I will do so without complaing. I encourage viewers/fans to go out and buy the CD's/vinyls/whatever in order to help the band out.

@kishhh777 Message sent. You should buy the albums though, just saying, haha.

[PurpleHat1991]

@HelloHalo117 how is one supposed to even buy the albums?

[HelloHalo117]

@PurpleHat1991 Online, or if there's any metal record stores in your area, they might be carrying some copies. I sincerely doubt you'll find one in an HMV or anything.

Try googling Pagan Altar, album title, and BUY. Or going on their own homepage. There is more to the internet than piratebay and isohunt.

[PurpleHat1991]

@TheKristof91 pagan metal would work too but i believe its called doom because its closely related to satanism
