Nocturnal Visions
05:41
|
|||
|
In the night, it calls to me
Nocturnal visions of The Osseous Key
A towering kingdom in a distant land
From the star, I receive my command
A long-lost relic of an ancient horde
To unlock secrets of a bygone world
We must journey to the mountains high
To where the ancient treasure lies
Kill the king, usurp the throne
Take for my own, the mythic key of bone
For what my master seeks, ill travel far
In the service of the Demon Star

The Gala of Gore
04:51
|
|||
|
Radiant repugnance
A dazzling decay
Alluring abhorrence
A fetid bouquet
Wafting up from the dungeon
Where the corpses are laid
Prepped for the butcher
Exquisitely aged
With evil elation
And blasphemous bliss
I sharpen my cleaver
And carve into flesh
Each cut unique
In flavor and feel
Yet only the finest
Will do for this meal
A gala of gore
A festering feast
We indulge like kings
Before we ride east
To the foot of the mountains
Where the kingdom doth lie
I empty my chalice
And gaze to the sky

In Eternal Service
04:56
|
|||
|
The coarse rope around my neck
Strung high above my head
With a fateful final step
I would join dead
I made the morbid leap of faith
But something broke my fall
Afloat above the cold stone floor
I heard the masters call
In a blink, I found myself
Deep within the trees
The light of a single star
Shone down upon me
An ancient place of ritual
Which death can’t permeate
In this sacred place
I chose my eternal fate
Recruited by an astral power
For my proficiency in sin
Granted immortality
To terrorize this land
Now I stand before you
You, my faithful horde
Blessed army of the damned
Slaves to my every word
For our master speaks through me
Each vile task conveys his will
So, summon all your energy
Go forth and kill

Tireless Procession
04:22
|
|||
|
Ride out as dusk draws near
Into the fading light
Darkness so beautiful
Our torches burning bright
Follow the Demon Star
It guides us in our quest
Destroy all in our path
A trial of blood, fire, and death
Between the frozen trees
We push on through the night
Atop our spectral steeds
Mountains loom in our sight
Tireless procession
Blood brew ravaging our minds
Beyond obsession
Lust for power unrefined
|

The Raven's Call
04:41
|
|||
|
Over jagged peaks of stone
The lonesome raven flies
A warning sign of things to come
An omen in the skies
Jet black with eyes of frigid white
I crave its mournful song
To summon us, with violent lust
To usher souls to the beyond
Silence broken
The raven calls
We march in silence
We storm the walls
Before the sun
Doth rise again
A king will fall
Among his men

Fall of the King
03:42
|
|||
|
Torture
Suffering
Mutilate
Without remorse
Disembowel
Disfigurement
Eradicate
Without recourse
A palatial funeral pyre
The screams are deafening
The time has come now
The time of reckoning
I sense its presence
It calls to me
Drawing nearer
The mythic key
Savage slaughter
Limbs are scattered flippantly
The sounds of death
A beautiful cacophony
The cowering king
Sat high upon his ornate throne
My prize dangles from his neck
A lurid key of bone
I ascend slowly
Inflicting dread with every step
In a heartbeat
I tear his heart out from his chest
His eyes widen
Then gloss over as the lights leave
I stand triumphant
In my hand I hold the key

The Osseous Key
04:42
|
|||
|
Vile beyond perception
Grievously obscene
Of divine conception
To wield in blasphemy
I feel the power surge through me
Coursing through my veins
The mythic Osseous Key
Commencement of my reign
Grotesque beyond description
Abhorrent elegance
Witness my ascension
Fear my malevolence
Master hear my words
I have fulfilled your wish
Here within my hands
Your virulent gift
Eternal glory
The gods at my command
Undying tyrant
Ruler of this land

Submission And Slavery
by Lamp Of Murmuur
supported by 126 fans who also own “The Osseous Key”
I had liked previous Lamp of Murmuur releases but they didn't stand out for me like they did for some folks. I guess that I am less blown away by 'excellently executed example of this subgenre' than most. But this? This is great. If the Sisters of Mercy-esque cover wasn't enough to tip you off, the first track will. This is black metal combined with post punk, goth and death rock, along with some flashes of Petty/Knopfler esque guitar work. It's emotive, it's fun, it's catchy as fuck.

Pale Swordsman
by Këkht Aräkh
supported by 85 fans who also own “The Osseous Key”
Completely unique and original low-fi black metal with a soft, nostalgic and romantic atmosphere - straight out of early Burzum's playbook.

The Burning Spears Of Crimson Agony (Demo)
by Lamp Of Murmuur
supported by 80 fans who also own “The Osseous Key”
What an album! Riff piles on riff to unleash blistering madness. This is supposed to be a one-man project? I am deeply impressed. I praise the internet every day because it makes it possible to identify gems like this all over the world.
