pinkytheent Purification stand tall, a towering statue in the temple, as one of the finest DOOM acts today. A masterwork strikes in the dark of night! As others note, a distinct Type O-ish gothy vibe adds interesting new flavor to the band’s palate while the base is still 100% Purification. Rips from the rhythms, to the keys, to the sax, to the vocals, everything coming together under the dominion of THE meanest riffs you have heard in an eon of the Earth. Just stupidly delicious, thick, lush musicality. Favorite track: Elevator To The Gallows.

Margin Snail Once upon a time, Celtic Frost's To Mega Therion was my favorite album of all ever, across genres. This album dethroned it. There is nothing like Purification - past, present, or future. They are one of the greatest metal bands in history, and their name deserves to be mentioned alongside the likes of Bathory, Reverend Bizarre, Pagan Altar, and Darkthrone.

Elphinstone 05:07
Stalk the land where once you killed As the leper so shall you kneel Decrepit Empire's Labor's Lost Behold Thy Satanic Pentecost Back to Back And Man for Man They will Die in Afghanistan The infidel will not see home When they ride with Elphinstone English dogs in their crimson coats Cut their hides and Slit their throats No pity for the Imperial Dog Battle-Cry in Cannon Fog: INSHALLAH! Our land will be free Invaders blood will wash it clean MIRAGE OF GLORY AND BLOOD AND BONE IS ALL YOU'VE GOT WITH ELPHINSTONE Caught out in the open Nowhere to Run Hunted by Jackals Under Afghan Sun Murdered in Thousands Women Children and Men God's Righteous Judgement Wrought by Righteous Hands

Poison kiss I give you now Your chalice I remain In chains to the darkest of designs Pouring fire on heathen altar Trapped Between Lust and Hate I see the burning lake behind your eyes Oh yeah Drag me Pull me Up to the surface I’m condemned Bind me Wind me Around your neck we shall ascend 3 and 3 by 7’s shall divide The Lord’s Golden Rule Oh it has never lied, right? I feel a light shining in my brain A clearer picture of the truth Those morbid mornings, waxing up the wings I died a thousand times, Waiting for the night to come You’d do this all the same Without my love, without my name Taking all the streets can give a crook Drawn into the nightmare ride A .45 now at my side Staring down the barrel It’s 25 to life A nightmare ride with the devil

The sun has fallen From the sky Strange glowing clouds Are drifting through the heavens At Nuremberg they see them Swirling into the aether where only angels go where only angels go The herald of Return Or Great Work of Lucifer Melts into the darkness Where only devils dare All-seeing Eye With Book Of Life Are Other Planets so full of strife? To hate and kill is our birthright Soon this Dead Star will give no light

My heart is growing cold Colder every day Will I ever pull that sword from stone? Who can really say I did my best To hold the crest But Morgan La Fey she controls my mind Now Thrown Out From The Table Round To The Northlands I shall Ride So sing With a Weary Warrior Who is lost in a pathless land My life Means nothing to me now For in the chapel perilous I stand Across the boiling sea Seeking my redemption by sword I murdered sweet cousins in Normandy And bled in the mud at Agincourt Thro’ centuries I endure this hell At the Somme with my brothers there I fell Hail To Britain Hail and Farewell Washed In The Blood With Nothing to Tell When The Lord Comes With His Angels And Restores Arthur’s Rightful Crown They Say that Day Draws very near now But The Bride has No Wedding Gown In The Chariots Of The War God Caught Up Like Enoch in The Air They speak unceasing of these last days But The Future Isn’t very clear Oh no…

When I tell you I’ll kill every last one of your clans I’m not fucking around I really mean it man Gone to the slaughter Sons and Daughters The Nuns to the rack No Catholic country No Beelzebub can hold me back I hear the Voice of Angels The True Cross Can’t Be Denied The Lord Knows I am the chosen one And the chosen one can never die Like ants they run away Before the hellish flames Burning up their life I said, it’s burning up their life How I thank you How I praise you How I love you Lord! Because You’ve shown me My eternal reign is just reward I hear the Voice of Angels The True Cross Can’t denied The Lord Knows I am the chosen one And the chosen one can never die …Commend them all to God…

He’s waiting By the churchyard where you two first met He’s coming On your skirt while you smoke a cigarette He’d buy you a pretty diamond ring But you’ve been twice betrothed You’re crying, and cursing God As you run home to change your dirty clothes Next Time Won’t be like all the other times This is The blessed day There will be no more need to pray His breath Like Daggers on your neck As you ready your lilac arm to strike So close, Madonna Maria He screams as you raise the flashing knife She carried to lay the altar His carcass of gore She will not be subject to him She has settled this score An eye for an eye A crown for a crown Grant Us Peace In Our Day Lord Or In Blood This World will Drown...

Open up the golden door Where time and space are no more The Archon weeps at the grave of God To touch the face of the Lamb Hold the hand of Jehovah’s High priest As he slashes your throat for rain The stars erased By the deepest of void Where Death and Life are the same Where Death and Life are the same
11.
Into the house Of perdition Go A whole family dead Under Nighttime cloak Bloody shit in the bowl Hand prints everywhere A crime with no motive No Passion Or Care The prints are no match No forced entry was made The Bakemono disappeared In the Tokyo waste A search that will last For 1000 more years The Silence conceals the screaming of fear While he sleeps so well And so sound He’s dreaming sweetly So Safe and so long Never Worried Never worried about it at all While He Sleeps So Well And So Sound... The Scales of justice tell only lies With the gutted and skinned I sympathize But in time you’ll come to realize That life isn’t fair, it isn’t right The bad sleep well In the blackest night Where the light refuses to shine Unto us a son is born Unto death with hatred scorn In The Bliss of Evil Rest The world still turns in infinite jest!
