lyrics

In the Black of the Night

Verse
The air is electric, the flame drenched smog reeks.
The force of pure evil descends on the streets.
The bloodlust is palpable, the hunger for flesh.
His iron teeth flash from his dark age old nest.
A visage of evil drains the light from the sky.
A portent of crows calling "virgins will die".
The red sandstone mirrored with blood of his prey.
The terror of night unbelieved in the day.

Chorus

Fight or fly, fly or die
The southern necropolis fiend will rise
Evil rites, feel the bite
Fear in the black of the night!

Verse

No end in sight for this base evil reign.
Only one clue is the creature's domain.
Is it courage or ignorance that guides those who take arms?
With nought but a cross to protect them from harm.
The numbers are growing so you best watch your back!
A flash of bright crimson soon inked out in black.
Bottles, bricks, poles, knives and stakes cut at home.
But will your nerve hold out when you face it alone?

Chorus

Fight or fly, fly or die
The southern necropolis fiend will rise
Evil rites, feel the bite
Fear in the black of the night!

Verse

Descend on necropolis no light in the sky
Your heart pounds through your chest, is it your time to die?
Determined to end this beast's grip of the night.
Unknown to you the power, of satanic might.
Split from the group as you march to your doom
Silhouettes start to approach from the gloom
Terror untold as the story unfolds
You notice their necks bare the mark of 2 holes

Coagulating Darkness

Pretty much the best Black/Speed Metal I've listened to since I learned about Evil Invaders and Vulture. Everything you'd love to be reminded of about this musical era is there. The influences are what you'd expect too: Motörhead, Venom, Bathory, early Slayer, Celtic Frost; aggressive vocals, tortured guitar solos, pounding drums; everything is fast, clear and still a little grimy, but without reverb cranked up to the max. Amazing band, amazing album. Odiumediae

Absolutely in love with the full length album (check it out too!!) "The Conquest..." I decided to get the demo too. A bit unfair that I discovered the newest first, so this is biased in a way, but the demo definitely sets the solid ground for what is to come next. Wish Century a century of success !!! sachavonkarl74

Wicked blackened/thrash. A great holdover while waiting for their new album on Peaceville to come out. Bart

Blackened Speed Metal, fast from start to finish, this is really a fun album!! The lyrics are awesome and catchy see "Rome is on Fire" for example. Fans of Midnight and Hellripper should feel quite at home here. Highly recommended !! sachavonkarl74
