Black Arts & Alchemy

poutineslayer Black Arts & Alchemy is the definition of a PERFECT EP! Every single song stands for it's own and could be single releases, if they wanted to be. It's a ripper (pun intended) and shows how absolutely brilliant of a musician and composer James McBain has become. A flawless blend of speed, blackened themes and catchy riffs/choruses. This will remain in my Top 3 favorite EPs of all time and it will be near impossible to dethrone it. Favorite track: Decrepit Christ.

AtrociousSal Randomly found this band and decided to give this a try. This is probably the best thing to happen in my 2020. The riffs are awesome, this album is easily scoring a place on my list of favorites! The title track Black Arts & Alchemy... man I love it sooo much! Highly recommend it. The main riff is dissonant but moderately, it gives it this distinctive type personality and I absolutely adore it! Favorite track: Black Arts & Alchemy.

Lay the cunt on the altar With stone dagger – ready to strike The rites of ritual slaughter Evoke the darkness with infernal might From below he will rise Damnation nearing with invocation Angels fall from the skies Bring forth unholy and violent demise All hail the goat The foul spirit brings darkness Spread the Devil's flame – Crush their faith Embrace demonic catharsis Summon the legions to annihilate From below he will rise Damnation nearing with invocation Angels fall from the skies Bring forth unholy and violent demise All hail the goat

Let the bastard hang, watch the bastard die Subjugation through torture - Messiah denied Spill the holy blood – The blasphemous assault Degrade the feeble impostor, mock the Lord and revolt Upon the hills of Golgotha He trusted, so let God deliver him now! The death of the prophet Betrayed and condemned by the court to… Hang upon the cross - Decrepit Christ Die upon the cross – Decrepit Christ Scourge the naked flesh, hear the bastard cry Sacred blood paints the ground – The Saviour defied Reject the false revelation, the bearer of thorns Under the burning sun, pierce the side of the corpse, Upon the hills of Golgotha He trusted, so let God deliver him now! The death of the prophet Betrayed and condemned by the court to… Hang upon the cross - Decrepit Christ Die upon the cross – Decrepit Christ

The disciples of Lucifer gather and descend upon the kirk This coven brings hell The conjugation sings seven deadly hymns Vociferations of vicious spell Bring the fires of Hades Black magick summons the storms From the sea, rise the devils Sedition, treason and scorn Black arts & alchemy With nightfall comes sinister vengeance and hellfire upon the crown This coven brings death The conflagration throttles the divine Maledictions wreak torment so grotesque Bring the fires of Hades Black magick summons the storms From the sea, rise the devils Sedition, treason and scorn Black arts & alchemy Bring the fires of Hades Black magick summons the storms From the sea, rise the devils Sedition, treason and scorn Black arts!

Feel the fire! Fire! Fire! We toast the blood of the pious tonight Throw them all on the pyre! Behead the clerics and defile with delight Crush the Gods under cloven hoof The horned one reigns supreme Baphomet set us free! In the name of the devil We are the envoys of Hell Into the valleys of Hades, the Christians have fell Headless Angels pave the ground Death comes rabid! Rabid! Rabid! Demons ripping the bastards apart The rise of evil, barbaric! Invert your crosses and submit to the dark Crush the Gods under cloven hoof The horned one reigns supreme Baphomet set us free! In the name of the devil We are the envoys of Hell Into the valleys of Hades, the Christians have fell Headless Angels pave the ground

about

From the depths of the cacophanous den of the Horned One, Hellripper storm out of the tomb with a barrage of speed, fury, venom, and blasphemy strong enough to bring the pious to their knees. Relentless in its attack and focused in its approach, Black Arts and Alchemy is a an exercise in Heavy Metal orthodoxy with enough extremity to make for an infectious cocktail of unrighteousness. The riffs are malicious, the rhythms are pounding, and the vocals are ripping with power and conviction. This release wastes no time beating you to a pulp, and before you can gather your wits enough to understand the might of The Beast, you are abandoned and left in the chambers of the master, a bloody wretched heap. Join in and lay your soul at the feet of the Alchemist.
