Xasthur - Black Imperial Blood

Mütiilation cover, from the 2002 album "Nocturnal Poisoning". The original version is on the 1995 album "Vampires of Black Imperial Blood", complete with vocals. The original lyrics art as follows:

"Far beyond any times...
Once was a garden in eden
Ignorance can't be kept
By the One made to rule

Through ancient times of hidden dimensions
I rised immortal as a plague
My kingdom opens as the gates of Hell
Riding the blizzard, wolves bark

Controlling a barbaric real of unknown
Where bats fly in the candles' light
Frozen mountains reaching the sky
Hiding the castle of doom

Sorrow spreads, the populations cry
Pawns don't need to feel
Weakness is to be driven
Humans need a guide

Learning mystical sphere of knowledge,
becoming self a god

A dark supremacy from
ancient forgotten forces
But only one is born to rule his ego,
Those of a dead god, to be the One...
Diabolical intelligence, conspiracy and war
By hate and fear I lead their souls
As the Serpent, I am their knowledge
My power is far scealed
in their empty thoughts...

As the world falls in ruins, chaos is mine
My throne darkening the lands
oppress the masses
War rules the earth

I am the highest emperor
Black forces domination
A world of endless dusk
Into the mist of Darkness

Death rises and laughs...
Tragedy...
Hell..."

[SouthernOregonOrgani]

might i say better than the original

[KnjazNazrath]

@SouthernOregonOrgani Yes, and IMFO you would be right.

[epfsoad]

Xasthur can cover any black metal song and it will be great just like his cover on Black spell of Destruction

[KnjazNazrath]

...unless, of course, it involves strenuous guitar work. I could not see Xasthur covering Wintersun sufficiently, for example. Still, Diff'rent Strokes...

[Naznaroth]

Mütilation in Xasthurstyle!

[KnjazNazrath]

Mütiilation*

[AaronBed]

@KnjazNazrath, Yes too bad the original sounds like utter shit, this is way better quality yet still unproduced & grim-sounding

[bytheblueriver]

Fuck! This makes me bleed on the inside. I like it better than the original.

[sachiskiller]

@KnjazNazrath metal archives

[KnjazNazrath]

@sachiskiller What is the source for those lyrics? The version I found differs somewhat...
