Asphyx - Rite of Shades

For those, who do not know, Asphyx is a dutch death metal band, featuring Martin Van Drunen of Pestilence and Hail of Bullets. This is the second song from their EP "Crush the Cenotaph" of 1992

Lyrics:

Searching for their after-life
Visions of mortality
The ever-written question
Of their own spirituality

Rite of Shades
Revelations
Of the co-existence
In this new dimension

Joining the ranks of the dark
Burning curiosity
Feel the soul slipping away
Into the realm of eternity

Rite of Shades
Revelations
Of the co-existence
In this new dimension

I hate to tell you this, but this is not death metal, Asphyx is a Black Metal Band, and yes there is a difference.

@ununenium

You got it quite wrong, buddy

[zyzzyx222]

@XysmicExecration You do buddy, its classified under black metal, look at the classifications Asphyx is one of the big ones in Europe for Black metal

[XysmicExecration]

@zyzzyx222 Well, I heard Martin Van Drunen himself classifying Asphyx as "Death metal", straight from the horses mouth. So I think, they're pretty Death metal.

@infinidominion Except for their Black metal shit that was fucking classic!

[infinidominion]

@666deathghost I certainly wouldn't say anyone should be listening to Behemoth

[666deathghost]

@infinidominion Blackened Death is a Gay Behemoth Genre Blasphemy and Sarcofago are the true meaning of Black Metal with a Death Metal feel.
