Lyrics:

Dark middle ages centuries of pain
The appearance of the inquisitions
Religion turned out to be insane
In these times of witch prosecutions

Tortured till confession
Await the execution
Moaning and suffering
Tormented till death on the rack

Hundreds of them were sentenced
for perpetrating heresy
Desperately begging for mercy
But death was only guarantee

Intense excruciation
Unmerciful cremation
Their smouldering bodies
and charred bones are left on the stake

The question of the interrogators
Extorted the false confessions
Broken upon the will they ended
Without even knowing the accusation

Limbs chopped off, viscera torn out
Mutilated venereal organs
Death in the name of the church
Decapitated or quartered

Evil exorcized
Purified flesh
Saved by the stake
Reduced to ashes

@ohgoditsjames94 Well I have changed my mind much after that comment but I strongly agree with you.

[ohgoditsjames94]

@ThyBibleBasher There isn't really any "technical" Thrash bands to be honest, Thrash is Thrash at the end of the day, used to be (still am) a massive fan, but I discovered Death Metal and have learnt that Thrash is pretty much dead, you can't do much with Thrash, we may have the new wave of Thrash, but they're simply doing what the old Thrash bands did back 30years ago, it's a shame though.

However, Death Metal isn't even in it's Adolescence yet, there's still many more paths to travel yet

I'm very sad right now.

In my school's auditorium because my teacher isn't here. Sitting in a corner listening to this album through youtube. I can tell you why I'm deeply sad and close to depression, but that doesn't matter. Listening to this album is making me feel much better. Hail PESTILENCE.

Sick music and sick in the head! This shit has always been in our hearts. This whole album makes us want to break things and kill! Ha Ha

I love technical and brutal death metal ... but nothing will ever come close to technical thrash metal and old school death metal like this
