lyrics

She hears a heavy beating upon the door of her apothecary
Standing in the threshold a group of men evil intent

One man stands above the rest
A crucifix around his neck
And a tome in his hand
With a gleam in his eye
And a grin on his face
He levels the charge
You are in league with Satan

In a flash of light a dizzying smoke screen she flees
Torches aloft pursuing to punish ungodly deeds

Giving chase into the woods
They have underestimated her
And the dark power she holds
Leading them into a trap
Opening her mandibles wide
She swallows them whole
Ensuring their end

Within an instant as she halts they surround her leaving no escape Little did they know they were racing to their doom
With the devil in her eyes and a grin on her face she calls out his name
A deepening rumble in response

The earth beneath their feet cracks and shatters
Sprouting forth demonic hands grasping each man
After being dragged to hell screams will ring for eternity
For mercy they will beg and plea to a deaf God

Silence is all that remains of the sheep a parting gift
She returns to her apothecary with a devilish grin

Tbh I typically stay away from "tech death" bands. Seems like majority of bands now lack the melody and groove that used to be present when this shit was really gaining light. These guys are tight and technical but very groovy. It's like if Decapitated, Faceless and Soreption had a baby. Great work guys!!! rodentsnatch

I dig this album so much, definitely a keeper. Subtly and masterfully mixing death metal subgenres, backed with an over the top production. They're true professionals. Can't wait for their next release! doive
