"Suffering to the Conquered..." was the final original track composed by Scythian for the demo. When it was first demoed to drummer J.C. Volgard, in the rehearsal room it was met with the words: "I don't get it."
lyrics
Worthless slaves, lick at yours conqueror's heels
Chained, shackled... march in sorry procession
Mercy forsaken, laugh at your pride in tatters
Suffering to the conquered, death for the weak!
Cries of your women riddle the burning air
Starving dogs devour you as you bleed
What gods will deliver you from your pointless existence?
Suffering to the conquered, death for the weak!
Tyrants, your sins shall never be forgiven
Hear the call to insurrection sound
Envenomed blades shall rip into your backs
Cruellest death shall visit on your sons
Lords, makers, prayers fall silent
Scourge, plague, hunger and blackest defeat
Thousands strong, ride from distant horizon...
Obey! Drones in columns, hundreds deep
Crack on whips of oppression! Tear the spirit from these men!
Toil! In earthly forges work until your end!
Pray to funeral gods for mercy, quick and painless death!
Earth and water: life in total submission
Dynasties shall spit upon your crude and weakling breed!
Rule of iron! Feed our armies with your children
Perish for our greatness, throw your meaningless lives away!
Dirges sing for the nameless
We who are erased
Save our honour
Spit in the face of the victor
From empty steppe
They came to curse our lives
Blood spilling reavers
To burn our homes and take our wives
Obey! Drones in columns, hundreds deep
Crack on whips of oppression! Tear the spirit from these men
Toil! In earthly forges work until your end!
Pray to funeral gods for mercy, quick and painless death!
Tyrants, your sins shall never be forgiven
Hear the call to insurrection sound
Envenomed blades shall rip into your backs
Cruellest death shall visit on your sons
Lords, makers, prayers fall silent
Scourge, plague, hunger and blackest defeat
Thousand strong, ride from distant horizon
Bringing Scythian Death

"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
