Lost Bastille

A dark castle looms overhead
Beyond the gates long forgotten
Left guarded by three sentinels
Their shields reflecting in the dark
Royal swords lined up like pawns
Behind the walls that stand silent
Crossbows drawn yet rarely used
Few remain to siege the keep
Forlorn yet trapped ethereal
Shrouded red with black shadow
Hunting those possessing a soul
To reclaim the world they’ve lost
The hounds are searching for blood
Sanguine eyes tracking your corpse
Trapped in a castle humanity forgot
Hollowed voices that still whisper

Belfry Luna

The door is blocked by a dark knight
His sword reflecting a radiant blue aura
Glowing red eyes that thirst for blood
Pursuing all who crosses his path
Awaken from rest
Illusory stone
Corpses pointing
To the pursuers throne
Bridge is formed
Between two worlds
The lost bastille
And sinners rise
Enter the belltower and climb it’s peak
Awaken the gargoyles from eternal sleep
Slaughter the dwarves and claim their souls

Sinners' Rise
05:09
|
|||
|
Hollowed across the bridge
Barrells full of black powder
Swordsmen approach unseen
Sets the sea ablaze with fire
Guilty souls
Beneath the keep
Tortured mind
Prisoners weep
There’s no light
Water rises
Souls are damned
In Sinners Rise

Lost Sinner
05:50
|

|
Endless punishment
Unceasing flagellation
Crushing guilt
From the first sin
The soul of a great one
In hidden grasp
Striking bone and sinew
The witch of izalith
Animated by the bed of chaos
Weeping in a cursed crypt
Created by her shame
From priestess to prisoner
Stone and mold surround her
Cities built above her
Life continues around her
Lost sinner frozen in time

Merci Déhà for the download code. Lots of bands use these ingredients – pretty female vocals over doomy guitars always sounds good, but usually that's where the ideas run out. That isn't the case here. Each song is packed with ideas and evolutions, genres and references it's boring to list but not at all to listen to. A pleasure to have been introduced to this.

For the longest time, nothing has come to scratching the itch like Anaal Nathrakh. With Repent, Gnashing Teeth are the first non-Anaal band in a long time to manage. I love this album.
