Cremator was burning, Fermentor was losing his shit  My body was ravaged by shrapnel, Dissector was popping a zit Our only escape to retreat underground Coughing up blood as we fled The cultists were gathered like rats at the entrance Goose-stepping full-steam ahead (as they said) "Off with their heads!" "Brothers of Ghoul: steel yourselves for the fight! If it's Heavenly entrance they're after We will make damn sure that they get there tonight." Viciously hacking with jagged-edged blades Dissector laughed as they bled  Digestor chewed off their lips and their ears Fermentor was heard to have said, "Off with their heads, hahahah!!!" Writhing and moaning, puddles of red Slitting their throats to ensure they were dead Into the torchlight, a vision of dread Cold iron lungs bellowed "Off with their heads” OFF WITH THEIR HEADS!

Destructor 03:04
From a race and place unknown One ton of hair, teeth, muscle, and bone The savage lord of a bygone age A broken hulk on a carnival stage The people screamed, the whip cracked Bloody lashes on his quivering back A broken chain; pantaloons pissed The sickening crunch of his pitiless fists Through the murk of the stygian swamp Came the sound of a thundering stomp The dying beast collapsed to the ground As the Swamp Hag came to check on the sound She gave him succor, she tended his wounds He made a nest in a crumbling tomb Every night he would come out to feast Clawing at the graves of the newly deceased The scent of blood perfumed the air  Into the catacombs The monster lumbered, unaware Spiked fist, iron claw A sucker-punch to his powerful jaw Clashing giants, thundering blows Fermentor pitched in with a drum solo   Core breach; coolant aboil Belching black smoke; vomiting oil A mighty club to a cast iron hull Transplanted brain liquified in its skull System failure, tubes were blown Two tons of steel dropped like a stone Massive damage, Killbot was fucked =Initiate sequence: Self Destruct= Beware the Destructor! x 4

Born on a slaver in sixteen-sixty six I was cut from the womb Of a screaming West African witch In Haiti, they laid me upon the auction block And I sold for a song on a Port-au-Prince dock Raised by the Houngan, he taught me the rites I saw him murdered one terrible night Found at his side, covered in gore Beaten and kicked, thrown to the floor Dragged to the slave house Tied down in a circle of chalk Ritual candles anointed With the blood of a sacrificed cock The frenzy was building I pleaded with them for my life They cut out my heart with a sugar cane knife I opened my eyes to the dark of the grave My body was rotten, my thoughts were depraved Walking the Earth for eternity Cursed with the duties of Samedi I spoke to the dead as their flesh decayed They spoke of a skull in a land far away To Creepsylvania via Bombay! End this curse! Make these gruesome torments cease Give me the glory of deathly peace Put to rest these cursed bones "You'll find what you seek in the catacombs"

Brain Jerk 04:29
Friday night and I needed a thrill I'd swilled all the rot gut that I want to swill And numbskull wasn't fitting the bill Dug up a junkie, I shot up his brains Inhaled some jenkem through a jugular vein But nothing worked and I'm starting to twitch "I've got a concoction that will scratch at that itch" Brain Jerk! He had a skull full of voodoo blow An avalanche of Caribbean snow "What's in this shit?" "You don't wanna know..." We blew some rails, we got loose Settling in for a night of abuse Dissector left with a flimsy excuse The walls began to bleed The catacombs to heave Glowing serpents burrowed through The melting cosmic void Screaming through the nothingness Our addled minds destroyed Destroyed! Madness! Piercing the veil Perceptions were warped, senses assailed Crystalline thought-waves,luminous gloom Organic magma, edible doom Dilated pulsating orbs One with the aether, egos absorbed Phantasms shrieking, babies aflame "I think this is bunk..."  "Man, that's totally lame" It started kicking in Fermentor cracked a toothless grin A feeling so bizarre "Tear this fucking place apart!" Brain Jerk!

Blood Feast 03:43
On the outskirts of town Heard the townsmen a curious and terrifying sound As they crept forth to see A gacked out Fermentor, Digestor and me  We surrounded them axes in hand They’d do nicely chopped up in the meal we had planned At the front of the crowd cried a priest "Shield your eyes! It’s unholy, it’s ghastly, it’s a..." BLOOD FEAST! As the townspeople panicked and fled Fermentor got a sickening idea in his head In the mood for some dubious snacks He splintered their skulls with a swing of his axe Cremator siphoned some petrol from a car And the orphanage was turned into a flaming abattoir Tiny skeletons radiating heat Young flesh is the best when it's eaten at a... BLOOD FEAST! First course: Liver filet Served with a garnish of maggot puree Second course: Brain tumour stew Bubbling away in a mucous ragout Third course: The haunch of a child Cooked to perfection, spicy or mild Fourth course: Mellified lumps Syrupy crustulant putrefied clumps Fifth course: A sputum soup Presented cold, a nasally goop Sixth course: a plate of headcheese With eyeballs and tongues, seasoned to please Seventh course: bloody rump roast The asses garnished with fingers and toes Eight course: ovum soufflé Baked to perfection, full of decay Lazily licking at a stump Sticky high fives as the bodies were dumped Crawling on the ground like slugs Bloated with meat and a mountain of drugs Suddenly a net was released Dragged off in chains by the Secret Police In the belly of the beast Locked in a cage like the victim of a...  BLOOD FEAST!

We were there in the palace square When the Pharoahs' took their thrones We whispered into Caesar's ear And our knives cut to the bone We raised a temple for Solomon And we made damn sure it fell And when that charlatan was crucified We wrote his story well Gaze at the unblinking eye Watch as your consciousness dies And welcome the new order's dawn Tremble in awe of the Mezmetron Emperors and Presidents Have fallen to our blades Weaving spiders are ensnared In the webs that they have made Guiding hands, overlords Call us what you will We are the authors of the prophecy And we shall see that it's fulfilled Gaze at the unblinking eye Watch as your consciousness dies And welcome the new order's dawn Tremble in awe of the Mezmetron Sleep, sleep Now the final act begins It's the end of all mankind No more hatred, no more fear No reason for a mind Sit and watch the Mezmetron And you'll feel yourself go numb You begged for this, you prayed for this And now your day has come
9.
Expanding lumps of torpid flesh Spittle pooling on their chests The Mezmetron is energized And their nervous systems slow A seizure grips the ganglia As their frontal lobes explode Tune in next week and you're sure to know Zero Teeth are set in rictus grins No sign of mental life within Draining the brains of the automatons The fuses fail to blow Rerouting the encryptions But the glitch cannot be slowed Tune in next week and you're sure to know Zero Basking in the telescreens Their eyeballs pulse and glow Bulging from their sockets As the hunger starts to grow Tune in next week and you're sure to know Zero
10.
Ravenous bloodlust Consumed by a sickening urge Hunger gnaws at bloated guts Compulsively driven to binge and purge Chunks of chewed up tongue are puked From salivating jaws Autophagous bacchanal of mutilated flesh Red in tooth and claw Skin is flayed with razor blades Appendages chewed down to stumps Gulping down flesh with a gurgulating belch Vomited carnage is oozing in clumps Bones are smashed with mallets Marrow drooling from their maws Autophagous bacchanal of mutilated flesh Red in tooth and claw Slithering torsos congregate As they're drawn to the transmission source Panic in the lair of the Basilisk Entrances are reinforced Shattering glass in the throne room As the multitudes seek to be fed The Basilisk flees into the swamp His acolytes are ripped to shreds The castle slaked in gore As Dissector passed the gate He smashed the dungeon door And Ghoul made our escape
11.
So you're an anti-social geek With body odor, funny hair, and your breath reeks You have no friends of which to speak Now your mind has come unglued And your trust fund balance is down the tubes There's only one thing you can do Commit yourself, submit yourself Give us your body and your soul Enslave yourself and save yourself And sign in blood upon the scroll On your straightjacket stitched, the hermetic seal The pin is thrust as the blood congeals Your card is dealt and your fate is sealed Raise the chalice and take the cure Numbskull from the freshly interred Your servitude is now all but ensured Commit yourself, submit yourself Give us your body and your soul Enslave yourself and save yourself Give up your soul for rock ‘n’ roll Now your guts are a foetid yellow slush Twitching pupils dilate As your brain is turned to mush Metallicus Ex Mortis! Reborn in decay Metallicus Ex Mortis! As your life rots away

about

How to enjoy this album -

Pour yourself a glass of Pepto Bismol. Put the record on the turntable and turn it on. No, not that button! Yes, that one. Good. Sit down in a comfortable chair, take a sip of Pepto Bismol, close your eyes, and visualize the scene.

A small village, trapped between a towering mountain range and a deadly swamp; a massive cemetery filled with crumbling, time-worn tombs and riddled with maze-like catacombs, and a pathetic populace crushed under the unmerciful boot-heel of an oppressive dictator.

The sounds are those of thousands of people screaming in terror as they're hunted down and slaughtered by axe-wielding maniacs, or used as test subjects in ill-conceived mind-control experiments by their own unscrupulous government. All the while, a band is blaring forth at breakneck speeds, defying the laws of physics, music theory, good taste, and etiquette. For this is Creepsylvania, the most horrifying place on Earth or beyond. Get the picture? Enjoy.
