Noctilucant I haven't listened to SoD since the Dark Meditations days, where I recall the band displaying a more progressive/acoustic approach to their BM. Thus I was quite surprised by the more chaotic and yet still melodic approach on this latest offering. Great!

HollowHecatomb is one of my favorite projects in the experimental music scene -- often changing and never the same thing from this talented composer. These two doomier styled tracks really solidify his relevance in the scene. Excellent!

I am a mightier animal! Since birth a human animal Learned so much in the hands of the Christians How to pretend Christ was compatible With what naturally became my mission Since birth a human animal Learned so much about how to disguise How to lie where hate was practical Felt their hypocrisy slowly giving rise To a mightier animal Since birth a human animal Learned so much in the hands of the Christians How to pretend Christ was compatible With what naturally became my mission Since birth a human animal Learned so much about how to disguise How to lie where hate was practical Felt their hypocrisy slowly giving rise To a mightier animal It took the paint shop to make me see the love of Jesus The salt in my wounds from the straps of old men It took them to show me what to do with my penis I love him so damn much I'd crucify him all over again I'd crucify him all over again Consuming-the thoughts of revenge Grooming me to be my own beast Abusing-so I comprehend Forming the cloak of hypocrisy Now I tell them how much I love Christ They look into the whites of my eyes They give me freedom, call me pure as a lily Now before I murder I make sure to sodomize Now I tell them how much I love Christ They look into the whites of my eyes They give me freedom, call me pure as a lily Now before I murder I make sure to sodomize I make sure to sodomize

A wish that determines truth An overwhelming impulse that dictates all action A wealth of malicious proof Reasons reformation brings satisfaction 1000 hosts to a violent will Penetrated in a chain reaction 21 voices shrill Snuffed out in the name of putrefaction The only way to reform is to kill Give flesh to the gutters No need for man, God, nor Devil This lesson taught by others Might makes right One race, one neck, one set of hands to alleviate the pain One wish for even the harmless and weak, fade out to disdain Disdain personified, spiteful flood tide Everything grows to die, reform or live unfortified One race, one neck, one set of hands to alleviate the pain One wish for even the harmless and weak, fade out to disdain Disdain personified, spiteful flood tide Everything grows to die, reform or live unfortified Contempt epitomized, reason dignified Moral purpose uncivilized, project onto the victimized So full of hate No reason for love So full of hate No reason for pity So full of hate No reason for kindness So full of hate No reason for honor or decency The only way to reform is to kill Give flesh to the gutters No need for man, God, nor Devil, This lesson taught by others This lesson taught by others

The day has arrived There's no going back Cold winds are blowing away all meaning and all hope For they have risen Machineries fueled by hate No rest for the wicked No light that's in our sight Into the pit we go We'll take them down with us And we will give back all they gave to us There's no stopping the madness Insanity takes control And now the truth has shown that benevolence is dead Dripping away like wax from a burning candle The turning of the hourglass There's not that much time left We're walkers in the fog waiting for the next attack Roaming through the ruins with our flesh stripped from all bones

Tanks and bombshells all over the place but you're a man who always keeps his word Death toll rises but no worries it's all part of your masterplan Patience is a virtue, confidence a must for with time it shall all make sense to us But in the meantime let the apocalypse reign and may it puke missiles upon the land Slaughtercrist is on the rise Suit and tie with slicked back hair A real fucking ace you always are With a gun in your right hand, an axe in your left and a grenade on your belt May you forever rule supreme in this wasteland you have created for all of us As you roll around with the pigs in a pen of mud, shit, puss, piss, and blood Slaughterchrist in on the rise
