Under the Spell of Destruction

liswvlf Under the Spell of Destruction almost feels like an album uncovered from an alternate timeline. It's a world where the spirit of 80s NWOBHM and 70s Post-Punk continues, and renaissance faires are running all year round.

This saga of 11 journeys evokes images of gothic architecture, medieval tragedy, and the Grim Reaper wearing shades and collecting heads while cruising in his black Pontiac Firebird. Favorite track: Blood Moon Inferno.

bcb723 You like classic Danzig? You like early 90's Bad Religion. Oh... and you like 80's Iron Maiden with synths?? Legendarium brings it all together in a simply awesome run of songs. Tuneful, thoughtful and addicting - "Under the Spell of Destruction" will just not let me go... all fucking weekend. It's so good. Favorite track: Shadowheart.

Mighty Owlbear Ludicrously fun and listenable album. Under the Spell of Destruction makes the happy brain chemicals, resulting in fist punches into the air and gratuitous singing along. Favorite track: Fear and Loathing in Hell.

Here we go again, another trip Find another way to lose your grip New and exciting ways to suffer more What are you waiting for Here on this journey to the depths You'll find hell Hold on to your soul Don't lose your head And see what you are made of Face the demon's might With no regret Dethrone the king, and seize the night All the deaths you died, what's it all for Is it just for pride or something more Purpose in your life, a hopeful gleam Or just a hazy dream Here on this journey to the depths You'll find hell Hold on to your soul Don't lose your head And see what you are made of Face the demon's might With no regret Dethrone the king, and seize the night Find your footing again And clean off your sword Accept your return as your reward A sigh of relief A knowing grin And then you go back in Hold on to your soul Don't lose your head And see what you are made of Face the demon's might With no regret Dethrone the king, and seize the night

I had a dream that day Oh I felt my heart rip itself in two And the halves fell all the way to a dimension demented through and through I hear that canine roar and I see that evil crimson glow And the hounds of hell are at my door And I don't know where to go Blinded by the lights The damage is done Can't see till everything is gone Feels the days are flying by Every day seems darker than the last All the promises were all just lies and I can't run from my past Standing oh so tall And hadn't a clue Of what this spell would do Blinded by the lights The damage is done Can't see till everything is gone My world is turning black The dead are calling ever louder I need to bring it back The dark is getting loud And time is running out In the graveyard's frozen ground Digging for my life I hear that sound Try to hide to no avail The classic breath and heart betrayal

Through hell's abyss and violent storms Dimensions shift and mountains form I think you know you fought to hard to waste it all and Stand before the gate in awe, waiting to see What will convince you and who's gonna and hand you the key Standing alone Fist of rage around your blade Hear the demons screaming for you and pounding at the gate Those blessed flames climb into the sky A ghoul lets out a distant cry You walk the path so sure you know that you're not here to Stand before the gate in awe, waiting to see What will convince you and who's gonna and hand you the key Standing alone Fist of rage around your blade Hear the demons screaming for you and pounding at the gate What forms of death await you inside What evil face will pierce the night The end so close and oh you didn't come this far to Stand before the gate in awe, waiting to see What will convince you and who's gonna and hand you the key Standing alone Fist of rage around your blade Hear the demons screaming for you and pounding at the gate

Shadowheart 04:04
Remember what you said You claimed you'd never be the one But where are we now Where were we led Whose hand's the dagger in Who leads this ritual of death Where did the fall begin In a valley so low In this life torn apart You will know Your shadowheart No use for all your doubt You're locked in this sequence of events Now just to see it through The only way out You could've fought this fate If you had recognized the signs But now it's all too late In a valley so low In this world torn apart You will find familiar Build a tomb in your mind You'll be back at the start When you find Your shadowheart

The black gate's closing soon Everything's in its place The carving of the stones begins Count the days Tonight Lupus howls Fate finds its way Death day is creeping closer We never learn The game is starting over And you await your turn They roll your dice again Black stone your home and bed Pray to whatever god you like Live life led Tonight Lupus howls Fate finds its way Death day is creeping closer We never learn The game is starting over And you await your turn Death day is creeping closer We never learn The game is starting over And you await your turn Death day is creeping closer We never learn The game is starting over And you await your turn Death day is creeping closer We never learn The game will last forever And everything will burn

Doesn't it seem strange Like something's gone wrong The light that you knew Once so bright and so strong Similar but off Cold in the sky But no one knows why The blood moon dim and cold It rises high Burn your life for warmth and light Nights so cold and long Play tricks on your mind You try just as hard but you're so far behind Everything we do But nowhere to go The sky will follow The blood moon dim and cold It rises high Burn your life for warmth and light How quick the sun can fall D'you wanna know All you do is just let go I had a dream, which was not all a dream. The bright sun was extinguish'd, and the stars Did wander darkling in the eternal space, Rayless, and pathless, and the icy earth Swung blind and blackening in the moonless air; Morn came and went—and came, and brought no day And men forgot their passions in the dread You lay yourself upon the altar again Who drives the knife in like you can Your agony is all your own Let it go Even though you know We've been here before The weight of the ending won't change anymore You will fall again Despite what you know The sun will rise so slow The blood moon dim and cold It rises high Burn your life for warmth and light How quick the sun can fall D'you wanna know All you do is just let go

The evil terrorize the land With graveyards filling up fast Their empire grows They know it will last The message has been sent An eye for an eye The chaos doesn't end And everyone will die And kill by kill they construct Their armour of deception To play in this game of perception The message has been sent An eye for an eye The chaos doesn't end And everyone will die Another victim bled Another martyr on his cross But whatever they may do We know the dead Live forever The message we will been send An eye for an eye This chaos will not last forever And all of them will die

I'll run for all my life I don't care where I'm going No one's opinion determines my destiny Still sharper than a knife Despite the pressure growing These ancient boundaries they can't mean less to me yeah No need to end it now, just leave him alone No venom deadlier than his own I'll do it all alone I'll show them what I'm made of I'll show them everything they've never known Another soul will lose, a matter of time A holy mountain he can't climb And all we have to do is just let him go We'll meet again one day, but he doesn't know So now sit back and watch as he falls away We'll see him in the cathedral one day Is this death really so unnatural? Is this death really so unnatural? Is this death really so unnatural now? But what is built will stand This palace is eternal The guard will change but the memory will survive So work with steady hand And conquer the internal And when it's time we will all know that you're still alive
9.
These idle hands so desparate for purpose and a solid goal The skull tree standing old and wise alone, it may mend your broken soul Birth, life, and death Contained in a single breath The journey will be dangerous and long Sharpen your blade and mind No second chances, no time to rethink Don't speak don't fall behind Birth, life, and death Contained in a single breath Finally here the ritual can begin Stay calm, watch and learn The forest full of ghosts now bathes in light The crimson candles burn For all your strife The skull tree will grant you life Birth, life, death Contained in a single breath
10.
You find another way to give yourself life A necromantic pain obsession You prosper once again through fury and strife And build a legend But will history really tell the truth and will the legends be Human Look at the gods and kings who came before The valiant rage In silence The legendarium of death grows more You write your page In violence When chemicals run through your vessel's veins What will the legends say about you When you fly through the stars on astral planes Will you remember And will history really tell the truth and will the legends be Human Look at the gods and kings who came before The valiant rage In silence The legendarium of death grows more You write your page In violence

Live at the end of time Look back and see nothing at all Just one blink took you here One more to trigger your big fall Where is your demon now Where is the faintest dot of light Leaving you all alone in this darkest of nights When all is done and you feel fire's might will you see Will it be what you aimed for When all is gone and you stand at the end will the memory remain forevermore I am the boatman now Scratching the blood into the scrolls The ink into the skin As black thunder rolls I'll take you to the end And it'll only cost a soul So step aboard and let your life take control When all is done and you feel fire's might will you see Will it be what you aimed for When all is gone and you stand at the end will the memory remain forevermore The tree of life uprooted at last Those glowing eyes reflecting the past And now you feel the serpent's bite Here comes the night Oh and here I am the judge of all The demons call your names We are all gathered here this day To see the universe go up in flames The pyramids once piercing the sky Will crumble till there's nothing at all Ashes to ashes, dust to dust Prepare to fall Oh and here I am the judge of all The demons call your names We are all gathered here this day To see the universe go up in flames When all is done and you feel fire's might will you see Will it be what you aimed for When all is gone and you stand at the end will the memory remain forevermore
