Odes of the Occult

by Execration

supported by

YomaBarr The more I listen the stronger the conclusion this band is really, without exaggeration, CRIMINALLY underrated.
It is said of Blood Incantation, and righteously, that they have revived death metal - but before BI there was Execration.

mourner Nothing short of spectacular and way ahead of their time. Far too less known gem that will surely stand the test of time and receive the apprechiation and admiration it deserves one day. If you like your extreme metal varied, full of ideas and maybe a little challenging you have to give this a serious chance. I still cannot believe how great this is. Thanks so much, Execration. Favorite track: A Crutch for Consolation.

1.	Ode to Obscurity 05:31	lyrics	buy track
In silence it unravels, highways in the dark Forever roaming further into insanity, beyond A man in a surreal existence, covered in blood Face to face with the personification of his demons A black figure, whispering insane truths Leading the way into a world unreal Inviting him to crash and burn A bizarre connotation with both feet in a grave A horrified denotation as blood comes poring ...and then you will die A man in a surreal existence, covered in blood Face to face with his demons A black figure, whispering insane death Leading the way into a world unreal A bizarre connotation with both feet in a grave A horrified denotation as blood comes poring ...and then you will die And then you will die

Lifeless meat confined to a cage Masses congregate to consecrate Ceaseless chanting in lucid dreams Inhumanity in recurring themes Unction Repercussive movements in dead flesh Gathered here in assembly of christ Unction Unction The dead rising, born again Hell unleashed, chaos reborn On the altar, baptized in filth Death unknown, anointment fulfilled Ritualistic offerings of man Touched by angels, fucked by demons Ritualistic offerings of man Hell unleashed, chaos reborn Death unknown, touched by angels Fucked by demons
3.	Entheogen 05:22	lyrics	buy track
Tasty bits of poisonous flies A trifle to enter a world of meaning I scoff at your invention Eviscerate with surgical precision Brewing for the ages Exposing your weakness Exposing your idols Revealing your true intention Tasty bits of esoteric visions Savor the smell, revel in the illusion Craving real truth Seeking with blurred eyes Finding reality where you expect Questioning the embodiment Unfailing your obsolete beliefs A trifle to enter, stone weight return A trifle to enter, stone weight return

5.	A Crutch for Consolation 11:17	lyrics	buy track
Absent minds embarking in ancient rites For reasons obscured and obsolete A crippled herd without no direction Walk the forgotten path Manic relief in forsaken faces A sign of lost times Scriptures of horror and blistering death Towards the rapture, as I take my final breath In torment they will not be abandoned Submitting to lies, submerging into doldrums A riddle for the mute A guide for the insane The call of the apocalypse, final retribution Catalyst deconstruction, death submerges Scriptures of horror and blistering death Towards the rapture, as I take my final breath A veil for the blind, a chant for the deaf A riddle for the mute, a shield for the numb A shroud for the mind, a guide for the insane A quest for the abject, a dance for the dead A crutch for consolation
6.	Soul Maggot 05:58	lyrics	buy track
Putrid puddle of larval desendance Spun into a filamentous fate Reality fades as arachnic fog emerges Thence came the void that desecrates Slimey trail of starving maggots Carving through mentality Every trace of sense extracted, caving in reality Empty shell of concave meaning Sunken eyes, glaring stalely Yearning for the final silence Shut-in by the numbing veil Heir of mutant legacy The sea of fog redeems A fluxing gleam of clarity in labyrints of shattered dreams A fluxing gleam of clarity in labyrints of shattered dreams Soul maggot, soul maggot, SOUL MAGGOT Reality fades as arachnic fog emerges Thence came the void that desecrates Slimey trail of starving maggots Carving through mentality Every trace of sense extracted, caving in reality Empty shell of concave meaning Sunken eyes, glaring stalely
7.	Grains 03:51	lyrics	buy track
Consideration, construction Deconstruction, determination Know your escape route as bridges fall apart Kneel when the unknown knocks on your door Beware, as the trivial becomes ominous Every knee shall bow, every tongue confess Choice of impossibilities Decisions to be made When was I left alone in this desert? Ages came and went Trying to work it out Promises like dry grains in my hands Searching for a drop of water
8.	Obsession 06:01	lyrics	buy track
Passion, in hate is passion, in disgust is passion Obsession, in obsession is clarity, in obsession is absolution Rapturous praise Surging waves Sublime aesthetics Obsession, in obsession is clarity, in obsession is absolution Serenity in numbers, passion in obscurity Calling my name, in obsession is passion Serenity in numbers, passion in obscurity Calling my name, in obsession is passion Rapturous praise Surging waves Sublime aesthetics Someone you've met before Serenity in numbers, passion in obscurity Calling my name, in obsession is passion In obsession is passion

Ghouls, rotten to the marrow, prone to prophet's vagary Skeptics tremble by the scepter that grants life eternally Tolling in the distant background, summoning the bold and meek A voice unending, yet unheard of, calls on all who cannot see Empyrean quest a nightmare has been born Eternal tribulation Stench of rotten flesh, no savior reborn Forever lost in scorn Empyrean quest a nightmare has been born Eternal tribulation, forever lost in scorn Dolorum ipsum quia Locus deperditus Libera te tutemet ex inferis Ghouls, rotten to the marrow, prone to prophet's vagary Skeptics tremble by the scepter that grants life eternally Tolling in the distant background, summoning the bold and meek A voice unending, yet unheard of, calls on all who cannot see
11.	High Priest 04:27	lyrics	buy track
Born into ignorance Raised in delusions of madmen Sin, fear and eternal damnation kept humanity at bay Prayer kept reality away Mental slave, scarred child of god Skin, flesh and bones are all vain After-life awaits in all its glory Humanity denied, mentally deprived In acid revelations, absolution is mine High on fairy mushrooms of gods Flaming visions of the high priest On my quest for redemption Humanity is left behind High priest, high priest High priest, high priest Soldier in a godless war My body is my flaming weapon My dubious salvation will bring you all down
