The second Original track composed by Scythian when they were a two-piece rehearsal room band, circa 2006. Originally titled "The Dirge of Existence" and played at about half the speed that you hear now.
lyrics
Mantle of imperium, come fall into my hands
With terror and oppression I will pacify the lands
The overthrown lie far below, Impenetrable tomb
Idols of their godhood heaped in pyramids of ruin
Cohorts gather! Billions heed my call
For power everlasting I would sacrifice them all
Countless numbers, banners hold my name
The thunder of a thousand hooves is herald to your end
Deified, cry out below: exalt my hated name
Like refuse of the ages, I have cast you to the flame
To those who stand against me I'll return to ash and dust
Forbidden knowledge, entropy, come... fuel my power lust!
Master! God King!
Bestow us with riches and spoils of war
Rise! Conquer!
Put our enemies to the sword
Let fly arrows!
Shimmering death obscures the sun
Rush them! Trample!
Cities are razed to the dust
Murder their prophets, Effigies slashed
Idols beheaded... Altars are smashed

"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
