lyrics

Deep in the vortex... Scattered is life
Visage of emptiness... Darkness is rife

Celestial corpses lie still, overthrown
Shrines to their greatness are wastelands of stone

Deposed, defiled by the splendour of fools
Entombed with the flesh they had ruled
Fallen, makers by their children were doomed
Trampled limp in time-ravaged ruins

Slaves, driven mad with envy of gods
Shades in the dead of the stars
Here perished aeons of the glory untold
Now a tale only told by its scars

Deep in the vortex... Scattered is life
Visage of emptiness... Darkness is rife

Flawed by creation, Summoned the will to destroy
Chained to the ages, burn in the gaze of the stars

Cold is the vortex, scattered is life
Gods broken, erased and entombed
Once reigned a power so ageless and cruel
Now their pitiless thrones are destroyed

Beasts, they wrought from dead of the rift
Now slaves to the makers of old
Heaven and hell shall be crushed in their wake
The fate of the universe ridden with scars

To know is to murder
To speak is to fight
And woe is the moment
When lore becomes might

Floating distortions
Of decadent past
The mighty have fallen before
Like echoes of battle... on dissident planes

The tides had devoured their shores

Omnipotents fallen by knowledge alone
Forgotten and dead is their reign
No spoils for the victor but desolate void
The knowledge of ancients now dead and destroyed

No purpose
No masters
They perish and fall

The tides had devoured their shores

The Shackles of Mammon
by Craven Idol

supported by 11 fans who also own “Astral Assassins (Demo)”

"The Shackles of Mammon" is vicious blackened thrash at its finest. Obviously, Venom and Bathory are touchpoints but this is not a carbon copy. Craven Idol's songs are unique, extremely well-crafted and precisely executed. Just a fucking great feel to the record, like you know you are listening to the real deal the moment you hit play. bcb723

Coagulating Darkness

Pretty much the best Black/Speed Metal I've listened to since I learned about Evil Invaders and Vulture. Everything you'd love to be reminded of about this musical era is there. The influences are what you'd expect too: Motörhead, Venom, Bathory, early Slayer, Celtic Frost; aggressive vocals, tortured guitar solos, pounding drums; everything is fast, clear and still a little grimy, but without reverb cranked up to the max. Amazing band, amazing album. Odiumediae
