lyrics
Blessed are the sick and blessed are the ugly
As they know their place and strive for nothing.
In the world ruled by prejudice the right of life was abolished.
Throats of those who spoke their mind are slit.
Carry the torch through the darkest cave, in the land of doom, where evil breeds.
In the darkness of coffin rests a body so cold.
Who was the lord of his spirit can rule it no more.
Mournful dirge spreads bitterness and modest tears.
Winds howl the song of death.
Gracefully a faceless digger of graves turns over the last spade of soil and blows out a dying flame of life.
Deadly stench chokes the living ones.
Carry the torch in the darkest times, when winds howl the song of death.
The Alberta crushers hold tight to their rank, astral-gazing grindcore, staring down abyssal torment all the while. Bandcamp Album of the Day Mar 31, 2020
Oakland, CA quartet LYCUS return with a new album on Relapse Records. Heavy, epic, mournful, and replete with art by Paolo Girardi. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 5, 2016
More cathartic, atmospheric heaviness from the German doom metallers, balancing no-nonsense hooks with proggy flourishes. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 14, 2023
