Sentinels of mercy, supplicating hands
Oratory virulence, my wish is your command
Bow! Kneel! Moan! Kiss the stone!
Frantic exaltation, piety portrayed
Silence is a virtue, silent you'll remain
Bow! Kneel! Moan! Kiss the stone!
Traitor. Despised. Suffer
Dethrone. In hate. Slaughter
Thought it was your world
A sea of shimmering faces
Yet it was your doom
To be dragged down in it
Wasted all the years aflame with desire
Wasting all your time in exile
Lost in empty days of fervor and guile
Waiting for the golden sign
And at the apex of your
Vain pontification
Suffocate now in the gloom
A vicious slab of Teutonic tinged blackened thrash metal that celebrates all things loud, evil, and alcoholic in excess. Unholy Sepulchre is the ultimate soundtrack to your next heavy metal party! Posers beware! Jason French
The band's debut is full of whiskey-burned growls and maniacal high shrieks, not surprising for a group of Detroit metal vets. Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 22, 2016
Black Arts & Alchemy is the definition of a PERFECT EP! Every single song stands for it's own and could be single releases, if they wanted to be. It's a ripper (pun intended) and shows how absolutely brilliant of a musician and composer James McBain has become. A flawless blend of speed, blackened themes and catchy riffs/choruses. This will remain in my Top 3 favorite EPs of all time and it will be near impossible to dethrone it. poutineslayer
