Being heavily inspired by Bathory, Scythian paid homage to the band in this cover of "Holocaust" from Blood Fire Death. Vocals on this track were performed by J.C. Volgard.
lyrics
At dawn they rise pointing to the skies
Ready to cut through the clouds at command
From wombs in the ground born to deafening sounds
When the button is pressed by death's hand
Loaded with death powered by the dragons' breath
Climbing way above the clouds out of sight
To seek its destination and destroy it into void
And to spread its load of death and endless night
Below water in the ground on wings of steel up high
Seeds of death to be launched in final one of wars
Each with a number for a distant city at their sides
Wonder what's the number for my city and for yours
Metal phallous seeds of death
That is not won else cannot be lost
Precious burden seeds of death
Sown to earth brings the holocaust
Prepare to die
Now leaving their wombs all in fire baptised
Outnumbering the stars in the sky
Each with a skytrack on which they are sent
To destroy each part of the world on the other side
Not time to repent feel regret or ask for mercy
Once launched there is no way to bring them back
Finally the world created by man look so bright
Before it all turns black
Below water in the ground on wings of steel up high
Seeds of death to be launched in final one of wa
Each with a number for a distant city at their sides
Wonder what's the number for my city and for yours
Metal phallous seeds of death
That is not won else cannot be lost
Precious burden seeds of death
Holocaust

"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

Delving into Greek Mythology, Forked Tongues presents a shattering tale of thrash metal presented in a blackened hue. Man alive! Once I heard a single track, I was hooked. For a clear black metal influence can be seen here: in the driving force of the drums, the guitars arrest you with addicting rhythm. Then, lapsing into its thrash influence, it all goes haywire, producing earworm riffs that catch you like an addiction. I haven't even talked about the vocals!

never been a big death metal fan but this is actually super accessible for the genre, has fun concepts, and personally i'm always a fan of albums with short tracklists and huge runtimes (for individual songs) Great time, good jumping on point for newbies too. alienasu
