The stories that Ghoul put out are so interesting as they are and to be able to put them to music that actually sounds good is the coolest thing ever.
After the onslaught of Abominox on their town of Creepsylvania, Fermentor of Ghoul remembers his lowly origins as a slave at vineyard. There, under the heel of a cruel and depraved vintner, he first encountered the unholy book from whence Abominox and his ilk, the Mouldy Ones, gained a foothold in our dimension. It also had some sweet recipes for home brew. Could the Nectarnomicon be their savior? Does the world have a lifeline? Will he remember to tell the other Ghouls after he sobers up?
lyrics
In the vintner's fields, enslaved and made to please
A childhood wrought with brutal toil, dysfunction, and disease
And then a tome received a home in the master’s knackered claws
Supremacy was promised over nature’s rigid laws
Inscribed by a Bremen monk
Mad mind of a dæmon spawned
Conjured from the Mouldy Ones
Revealed, the Nectarnomicon
My blood was sacrificed and joined with brewer’s yeast
Fomenting fermentation and the coming of the beast
A portal groaned from the wormy loam, green tentacles emerged
As eldritch madness summoned forth, my sanity was purged
The vintner agape with awe
Ensorcelled by the thorny maw
It was the last thing he ever saw
The Nectarnomicon!
The Nectarnomicon!
Torn apart by tendrils and rapacious veiny vines
His screaming echoed through the threshold, trapped in space and time
A glimpse of 6 dimensions and my mind was truly gone
Gibbering, I clutched the book, the Nectarnomicon
Inscribed by a Bremen monk
Mad mind of a dæmon spawned
Conjured from the Mouldy Ones
Revealed, the Nectarnomicon
