lyrics
To my village a stranger came
Sent by the king to roam our lands
A wooden cross upon his ugly self
A book of lies in his greasy hands
Listen to my history
Of an alien god the stranger told
A god bizarre, heartless and cold
A tale of awful misery
His lies did not sway my folk
With scorn his story we did spurn
From our village he was chased
Little we knew he would return
Twenty summers past again he came
This time the priest was not alone
Numerous soldiers all around him
His scripture verses he did drone
Listen to my history
His vile stories we had to endure
Deceitful gospels foul and unpure
A tale of awful misery
His prattle was only the beginning
Commanding his soldiers to cut down
Our holy oaks, our village temple
The people betrayed by the crown
Bravely we did struggle ‘gainst the soldiers of the Christ
Our blood we gave for our gods and our belief
Many fine folk slain by the henchmen of the lie
Our soul lies raped our hearts filled with grief
Before long more enemies arrived
Sent to us by our traitorous king
To the Christ a church was built
Where their vile hymns they did sing
Listen to my history
Our gods banished our faith forbidden
Our worship endured in shadows hidden
A tale of awful misery
Scripture’s lies now forced upon us
Our way of life brutally taken away
But my history will not be forgotten
To our true gods again we shall pray
Sent by the king to roam our lands
A wooden cross upon his ugly self
A book of lies in his greasy hands
Listen to my history
Of an alien god the stranger told
A god bizarre, heartless and cold
A tale of awful misery
His lies did not sway my folk
With scorn his story we did spurn
From our village he was chased
Little we knew he would return
Twenty summers past again he came
This time the priest was not alone
Numerous soldiers all around him
His scripture verses he did drone
Listen to my history
His vile stories we had to endure
Deceitful gospels foul and unpure
A tale of awful misery
His prattle was only the beginning
Commanding his soldiers to cut down
Our holy oaks, our village temple
The people betrayed by the crown
Bravely we did struggle ‘gainst the soldiers of the Christ
Our blood we gave for our gods and our belief
Many fine folk slain by the henchmen of the lie
Our soul lies raped our hearts filled with grief
Before long more enemies arrived
Sent to us by our traitorous king
To the Christ a church was built
Where their vile hymns they did sing
Listen to my history
Our gods banished our faith forbidden
Our worship endured in shadows hidden
A tale of awful misery
Scripture’s lies now forced upon us
Our way of life brutally taken away
But my history will not be forgotten
To our true gods again we shall pray

Phantasmhassgorie
by BlackdeathLatest album from the masters of Russian BM, with whom we had the pleasure of touring together a couple of years ago. Unique, bass-heavy BM executed with the utmost precision!

Road to Infinity (2018)
by SythThis may be the best metal album released in 2018. Very Maidenesque, but by no means a clone. If you are a metalhead, you HAVE to hear this record!

Is it rock? Punk? Metal? Who cares, it's rock & roll! DemonScar are one of those bands that have that thing so few do these days: authenticity. Anyway, they rock so check them out!

Литоургиiа réussit l'impensable : faire entrer le black metal dans l'église orthodoxe. S'il y a une dimension dramaturgique (indissociable de tout office religieux), Литоургиiа reste profond, solennel et touche le sublime. Après la sortie de cet album a lieu un Grand Schisme et un larcin : Христофор se fait dépouiller de son propre groupe par Барфоломей et Мартин ; tout ce qui reste ici provient de ces deux hérétiques.

Gods Of War - At War
by Macabre Omensupported by 11 fans who also own “History Not Forgotten”
Greek Epic / Pagan / Black Metal. These guys kick serious butt & there are some fantastic melodies here as well as some great riffs. All with that distinctive triumphant & exclusively Greek edge. There is a clear Rotting Christ influence but these guys are much more subtle in their onslaught! I would be happy to wage war with giants to the sound of this & I am just a weakling nobody... :) Highly recommended!!!
