IMMERSED IN SEAS OF BLOODY WRATH
WHERE THE VIOLENCE IS ETERNAL
TO DROWN IN HELL WHILE SEEKING HEAVEN,
SUFFERING ETERNAL
VIOLENCE, IMMORTAL,
MANIFESTED WILL OF GOD
VIOLENCE, UNDYING,
SUFFERING IN BLOOD
SILENT ARE THE ANGELS, STILL THE HEAVENS LIE
UNDER SHADOWS OF THE CROSS,
SCREAMS HOLY PANDEMONIUM
CLAWING FOR SALVATION,
WITHIN THE WRATHFUL SWELL
NO SAVIORS UPON CROOKED CROSSES,
HERE – THE BLINDNESS OF FAITH
TO GAZE UPON THE HOLY KINGDOM
BOUND BY SHORES OF BLOOD
IMMERSED AT DEPTHS WITHIN ACCORDANCE
BY DEEDS YOU ARE JUDGED
VIOLENCE, IMMORTAL,
MANIFESTED WILL OF GOD
VIOLENCE, UNDYING,
SUFFERING IN BLOOD
SILENT ARE THE ANGELS, STILL THE HEAVENS LIE
UNDER SHADOWS OF THE CROSS,
SCREAMS HOLY PANDEMONIUM
CLAWING FOR SALVATION,
WITHIN THE WRATHFUL SWELL
NO SAVIORS UPON CROOKED CROSSES,
HERE – THE BLINDNESS OF FAITH
THE RIGHTEOUS ARE THE WICKED,
AS BELIEF BETRAYS THEIR SIGHT
CHOOSE TO BELIEVE IN NOTHING,
BEFORE FAITH IN DIVINE DEATH
BLUDGEONED BY THE MORAL COMPASS,
LASHED BY VOICE OF GOD
REJECT THE BOOK OF HOLY WRATH,
REJECT DIVIDING DOCTRINE – AND SEE
LEAD (BARTLEY)
THE HOLY KINGDOM, STAINED WITH BLOOD
THE BLINDNESS OF FAITH
THE GATES OF HEAVEN, LINED WITH THE DEAD
THE BLINDNESS OF FAITH
THE WILL OF GOD, THY KINGDOM COME
THE BLINDNESS OF FAITH
A HAUNTING VISION
THE BLINDNESS OF FAITH

I AM THE LORD THY GOD,
GIVE THANKS TO NONE BEFORE ME
SIT NOT BEFORE THE DEMON’S TABLE,
DISPARATE FAITHS OF HERESY
CRUSADES SPAN CENTURIES,
BLESSED DIVINE GENOCIDE
ANTIOCH, JERUSALEM,
TENETS OF PEACE ARE INVERTED
ENGULFED IN FLAMES OF REVERENT FIRE
AS KINGDOMS FALL AND AEONS PASS
THE HEATHEN SLAUGHTER, IN THE NAME OF FAITH
CRUCIFIED IN THE PRESENCE OF YOUR GRAVEN IMAGE
LEAD (BARTLEY)
FIGHT THOSE WHO DON’T BELIEVE,
GIVE FIRMNESS TO THE BELIEVERS
NO PEACE IS FOUND BEFORE SURRENDER,
ONE GOD INFINITE DEAD
HOLY INQUISITION, BURNING AT AUTO-DA-FÉ
TO BE BAPTISED OR EMBRACE DEATH,
32,000 ARE SLAUGHTERED
VIOLENCE IN REVERENCE,
DEHUMANIZING DOCTRINE
THE ANGELS ARE ADORED,
BY CORPSES OF THE RIGHTEOUS
SHEPHERDS LOCKING HORNS OVER QUESTIONS OF MORALITY,
BONES OF CONTENTION BREAK, UNDER TIMELESS LIES
THE ENDLESS WAR SUSTAINED,
BY IRRECONCILABLE DIFFERENCE
IDOLS NEGATED,
FAITH UNDIVERSIFIED
LEAD (BARTLEY)
SERMONS OF SUFFERING,
HATRED OLD AS TIME
GOSPELS FOR THE SLAUGHTERED,
DOCTRINE FOR THE DEAD
SERMONS OF SUFFERING,
BOOKS OF HOLY LIES
GOSPELS FOR THE SLAUGHTERED,
DOCTRINE FOR THE RIGHTEOUS MARTYRED DEAD
I AM THE INSTRUMENT OF GOD AND MY HANDS ARE THE SPEAR OF HOLY DEATH.

SILENCE REIGNS BEYOND THE GATES OF HEAVEN,
HALLOWED ANGELS DO NOT LINGER HERE
A LIFE OF WORSHIP ALL LEADING TO NOTHING,
NOTHING MORE THAN WHISPERS IN THE VOID
SEE THE LIGHT
DENIAL OF REASON, STAYING THE HOLY PATH
SEE THE LIGHT
BLOOD STAINS THE KINGDOM OF GOD.
BEHOLD THE EMPTY HEAVENS
WHERE ARE THE LORDS OF LIES?
DARKNESS ENDLESS
AND NOTHING AWAITS FOR THE SLAVE WHO BELIEVES
AND WHAT IS DONE IN THE NAME OF THIS GLORY?
DEEDS THAT REFLECT ALL THE HORRORS IN HELL
WAR AND DEATH, FIRE AND NAIL, PURIFIED
ALL LOST, ALL SINNERS BORN TO DIE
SEE THE LIGHT
DENIAL OF REASON, STAYING THE HOLY PATH
SEE THE LIGHT
BLOOD STAINS THE KINGDOM OF GOD.
BEHOLD THE EMPTY HEAVENS
WHERE ARE THE LORDS OF LIES?
DARKNESS ENDLESS
AND NOTHING AWAITS FOR THE SLAVE WHO BELIEVES
TO LIFE IN HOPE OF SOMETHING GREATER,
IS TO DIE A TRAGIC DEATH
YOU MISS THE GLORY OF WHAT EXISTS,
AS YOU WASTE EACH PASSING BREATH
PARADISE IS THE CONSTRUCT, THAT KEEPS FREE MEN AFRAID
ETERNITY IN TORMENT, KEEPS THE FREE ENSLAVED

NO LIGHT FROM ABOVE,
NO DARKNESS BELOW,
WE’RE MOVEMENTS IN CHAOS,

NON BELIEVER, HERETIC, A HEATHEN DEVOID OF FAITH
YOUR PARADISE IS CLOSED TO ME, TRUE SUFFERING AWAITS
NO FAITH TO DERIVE MORALS FROM, THE GODLESS MAN IS LOST
WITHOUT THE LORD WE ARE AS BEASTS, ETERNAL IS THE COST
DREAMS OF THE AFTERLIFE,
PROMISES DIVINE,
DESTROYING THE HERETIC,
RELIGIOUS HOLOCAUST
GODLESS ONES SEE FAR BEYOND,
PAST HELL’S DEVOURING GATES
AN ATHEISTIC PARADISE, FREE OF RELIGIOUS HATE
YOU’VE SACRIFICED YOUR LIFE TO PRAYER,
FOR PROMISES OF FAITH
YOUR LIFE WAS MADE FOR LIVING,
TO FEEL THE WIND UPON YOUR FACE
LEAD (BARTLEY)
YOUR CHILDREN SEE TWO ANGELS,
ON MY SHOULDERS WATCHING ME
BY DEEDS OF GOOD AND EVIL,
WHAT WILL THE BALANCE BE?
WITHOUT A LIFE OF GOD THEY KNOW,
WHICH PLACE IN HELL IS MINE.
THE APOSTATE, THE INFIDEL, ALL HEATHENS BORN TO DIE.
DREAMS OF THE AFTERLIFE,
PROMISES DIVINE,
DESTROYING THE HERETIC,

HOLY FATHER, WHO WOULD KEEP US IGNORANCE,
DUMB AND DOCILE IN THE BOUNDARIES OF EDEN
WANTING FOR NOTHING IN NAKED PARADISE,
LIVING CONTENT IN THE DARKNESS OF INNOCENCE
HOLY FATHER, WHO WOULD KEEP US FROM THE TRUTH,
DENIAL OF THE FRUIT OF WISDOM
TO GORGE ON KNOWLEDGE IS TO SUFFER AND DIE,
BUT TO BE HUMAN IS TO NEED TO UNDERSTAND
SEEK LIGHT
SEE CLEARLY IN THE DARK
WISDOM IS POWER AND KNOWLEDGE IS TRIUMPH
SEEK LIGHT
SEE CLEARLY IN THE DARK
WISDOM IS POWER AND KNOWLEDGE IS ALL
FROM THE DARKNESS THE SERPENT WOULD APPEAR,
AND ON FORKED TONGUE THE TRUE WAS SPOKEN
THE FRUIT BESTOWED NOT DEATH BUT COMPREHENSION
SO THAT THEY WOULD BE AS GODS
DESPITE THE TRUTH, THE SNAKE NAMED THE DECEIVER
AND WE WERE PUNISHED BY SHAME AND MORTALITY
THIS FLAWLESS KNOWLEDGE WAS WORTH THE PRICE PAID,
FREE FROM THE FOG OF IGNORANCE
SEEK LIGHT
SEE CLEARLY IN THE DARK
WISDOM IS POWER AND KNOWLEDGE IS TRIUMPH
SEEK LIGHT
SEE CLEARLY IN THE DARK
WISDOM IS POWER AND KNOWLEDGE IS ALL
ENLIGHTENMENT THERE FOR THOSE WHO WOULD SEEK IT,
OBSCURED BY GOD, KNOWLEDGE FORSAKEN
SOME MEANT FOR GREATNESS, OTHERS TO SERVE
SLAVES TO THE RULE OF ETHEREAL POWER
FAITHFUL SERVANTS
FAITHFUL SLAVES
FEAR GOD IN HEAVEN, FEAR OF A HELL,
SLAVES TO COMMANDMENT, IN DARKNESS YOU DWELL.
FOR HE WHO SEES CLEARLY, TRUE WONDER AWAITS,
A WORLD OF GLORY THIS SIDE OF THE GATES.
GO FORTH, FREE FROM BLINDNESS
SEE PAST, LIES THAT KEEP US SMALL
REACH OUT, THROUGH THE DARKNESS
IN HUNGER, SEEK TO KNOW IT ALL
GIVE THANKS, TO THOSE BEFORE US
HEATHENS WHO BROKE THE LINES OF FEAR
WHO STEPPED OUT, TURNING SKYWARD
EMBRACE UNBOUND SINFUL LIGHT
BREAK FREE, AWAKEN
SEE PAST LIES THAT KEEP US SMALL
BREAK FREE, AWAKEN
EMBRACE UNBOUND SINFUL LIGHT

BORN AMONG THE FAMISHED MASS,
WHO LIVE THEIR LIVES OF SUFFERING
COUNTED BLESSED BY HOLY MEN,
WHO NEED OR WANT FOR NOTHING
IF PROMISES WERE NOURISHMENT,
IF ONE COULD EAT THE LIES
NO CHILDREN LEFT TO POVERTY,
NO QUIET MILLIONS DYING
PRAYERS MEAN NOTHING,
HOLY LIGHT IS NOT FOR ALL
PRAYERS FOR THE DYING,
THE HUDDLED STARVING COLD
HOUSES OF GOD,
STAB HIGH TOWARDS THE STARS
HOUSES OF GOD,
NOURISHED BY THE HOLY PROMISE
COVET NOT YOUR TREASURE,
WHERE MOTH AND RUST DESTROY
OFFER YOUR POSSESSIONS,
END SUFFERING OF ALL
WHEN PRAYER FAILS,
SOME LIVE – SOME DIE
WHEN LIGHT FADES,
STEEPLES BLACK THE SKY
WHEN PRAYER FAILS,
SOME LIVE – SOME DIE
REJECT THEY,
WHO DWELL BEYOND THE SHEPHERDS FLOCK
CONDEMNING THE ETERNAL,
FOR THE SAKE OF TEMPORAL THINGS
THE CHURCH JUSTIFIES IT WEALTH,
FOR THE FAITHFUL IT DRAWS IN
THROUGH CHARITY OF THE RIGHTEOUS,
THE GIVING CONGREGATION,
FREE OF TAX, FREE OF MORALS,
POVERTY OF SOUL
PRAYERS MEAN NOTHING,
HOLY LIGHT IS NOT FOR ALL
PRAYERS FOR THE DYING,
THE HUDDLED STARVING COLD
HOUSES OF GOD,
STAB HIGH TOWARDS THE STARS
HOUSES OF GOD,
NOURISHED BY THE HOLY PROMISE
THE LORD’S HOUSE OF PRAYER,
IS MADE A DEN OF ROBBERS
GATHERED WEALTH AND HOARDED GOLD,
BLOATED HOLY EXCESS
WHEN PRAYER FAILS,
SOME LIVE – SOME DIE
WHEN LIGHT FADES,
STEEPLES BLACK THE SKY
WHEN PRAYER FAILS,
SOME LIVE – SOME DIE
REJECT THEY,
WHO DWELL BEYOND THE SHEPHERDS FLOCK
SUFFER, STARVE, DIE
IN THE SIGN OF GOD’S HOUSE
TEARING AT THE SKY
A MOCKING VISION OF CRUELTY,
AND GREED, AND WEALTH, AND PROSPERITY, AND LIES, AND DEATH
GOSPEL VERSES CAST ASIDE,
WITHIN THE TAX FREE WALLS
IMAGINED CRIES OF ANGUISHED DEAD,
AMONG THE GILDED HALLS
IN SERVICE OF SELF,
DENIAL OF THEIR DAILY BREAD
OBSCENE WEALTH IS CLOSELY KEPT,
AND VULGAR WEALTH IS FLAUNTED
TURN OUT, COLLECTION PLATES,
LIQUIFY THE HOLY STORES OF GOD
STILL THEY SUFFER

THE MASS DEAD ARE A TRIBUTE TO INSANITY,
THEIR STILL FORMS ARE A PORTRAIT OF THEIR DEVOTION
TO WORK BACK FROM THE MASSACRE OF ’78,
IS TO UNDERSTAND THE COMPULSION OF MASS HYSTERIA
TO LOSE SELF TO CREDENCE AND SACRIFICE,
INCINERATION OF PAST LIFE AND ALL THAT YOU WERE
TO DIE AS ONE,
DRINK WELL, STEP THROUGH AND BE DIGNIFIED
TO DIE AS ONE,
ONE OF US – REVOLUTIONARY DEATH IN SUICIDE
NUMBERS GROW, THROUGH EMPLOYMENT OF MIRACLES,
GREAT WEALTH FOUND EXPLOITING THEIR SUPERSTITIONS
INCREASED CONTROL THROUGH BLACKMAIL AND ABUSE,
SEGREGATED FROM THE OUTSIDE HUMAN CONDITION
TO LOSE SELF TO CREDENCE AND SACRIFICE,
INCINERATION OF PAST LIFE AND ALL THAT YOU WERE
TO DIE AS ONE,
DRINK WELL, STEP THROUGH AND BE DIGNIFIED
TO DIE AS ONE,
ONE OF US – REVOLUTIONARY DEATH
TO DIE AS ONE,
DRINK WELL, STEP THROUGH AND BE DIGNIFIED

ONE OF US – REVOLUTIONARY DEATH IN SUICIDE

BOUNDLESS HYPOCRISY, THE HOLY WORD ERRONEOUS

PASSAGES, INCONSISTENT
MORALITY NEGATED
STORIES OF CAPRICIOUS WRATH, HIS WILL CONSECRATED
FLOOD WATERS RISE,

SINFUL FURY, LORD OF PEACE IS FALSIFIED

FAITHFUL SERVANTS CAST
THE WAYWARD ONES FORSAKEN,
BY ENIGMATIC SCRIPTURE
INTO THE OUTER DARKNESS,
TRUE BELIEVERS LOST
THE WEEPING PLACE OF GNASHING TEETH,
BEYOND THE BLESSED TOUCH
BLESSED IS ABRAHAM, WHO OFFERED SON TO SLAUGHTER
AND LOT, THE RIGHTEOUS ONE, WHO LAY AMONG HIS DAUGHTERS
AND WHAT OF GOD THE SAVIOR?
THE HOLY SIXTH COMMANDMENT?
THEY WILL KNOW I AM THE LORD WHO LAYS VENGEANCE UPON THEM
WHAT SHOULD BE FLAWLESS, WHAT SHOULD BE FREE FROM UNTRUTH,
THE HOLY WORKS – THROUGH CONTRADICTIONS FALSIFIED

FAITHFUL SERVANTS CAST
THE WAYWARD ONES FORSAKEN,

TRUE BELIEVERS LOST
THE WEEPING PLACE OF GNASHING TEETH,
BEYOND THE BLESSED TOUCH
TRUE CRUELTY IN THE PREMISE OF SUFFERING ETERNAL,

BARREN GOSPELS LACKING PROOF,

RITUAL SLAUGHTER
BY BLOOD WAS THIS WORLD CREATED,
AND BY BLOOD IT IS SUSTAINED
THE OLD GODS SACRIFICED,
AND OUR MORTAL LIVES REPAY
I DREAM OF MY BLOOD SPILLING,
UPON THE FERTILE SOIL
MY BODY BREAKS UPON THE STAIR,
AND THE SOUL EXISTS ETERNAL
SLAUGHTERED SO THAT OTHERS MAY BE SAVED
TO SCREAM WITH THE GIFT OF HOLY LIFE
LET US PRAY
UN-SILENT SCREAMING PRAYER
BENEATH THE SUN
THE VIOLENT GODS ARE WATCHING
RITUAL SLAUGHTER
TO THE GODS WE OFFER
SOME SEEKING DIVINE FAVOUR,
MOST ARE DRAGGED TO DIE
SLAVES WHO ARE TAKEN CAPTIVE,
IN THE RAIDS OF WAR
THEY MISS THE GLORY OF DYING FOR A FOREIGN GOD
STILL THEY SCREAM, A SACRIFICED NECESSITY
LET US PRAY
UN-SILENT SCREAMING PRAYER
BENEATH THE SUN
THE VIOLENT GODS ARE WATCHING
RITUAL SLAUGHTER
TO THE GODS WE OFFER
SCREAMS OF DEATH
SCREAMS OF PAIN
FOR THE GODS WE SUFFER
WHEN THE SUN ARISES,
ALL THIS DEATH IS JUSTIFIED

PLACED UPON THE SACRED STONE,
INCISION THROUGH THE ABDOMEN
HOLY HANDS THAT REACH WITHIN,
REMOVE THE LIVING HEART
BEATING STILL, IT’S HELD ALOFT,
THRUST TOWARDS THE SKY
IN HONOUR TO THE WAR GOD WHO WOULD GRANT US BLESSING
HAUNTING – SCREAMS THAT PIERCE THE AFTERLIFE
HORROR – PILES OF CORPSES MOUNT THE STAIRS
BLEEDING – THE BLOODTHIRST OF THE GODS
WHEN FAITH IS CERTAIN AND DEATH IS NEEDED FOR LIFE

A LIFE LIVED, WITH EYES ON THE HEREAFTER
UN-GLORIOUS AND DEVOUT, A SOLEMN LIFE OF WORSHIP
REJECTING ALL THAT LEADS ME NOT TO GOD
THE WINDING PATH TO PARADISE IS TREACHEROUS AND FINAL
HE WHO GAVE HIS LIFE TO PRAYER NOW SUFFERS IN GEHENNA,
FOR SERVICE TO INVALID GODS AND BLASPHEMY IN WORSHIP
HE WHO GAVE HIS LIFE TO PRAYER NOW SUFFERS IN GEHENNA,
COVENANTS WITH NOTHING GODS AND ALL OF THEM ARE LOST
SCREAMS HARROW, AS FAITHFUL MEN ARE BROKEN,
THEY BURN ALIVE IN EXTINGUISHING INFERNO
THE ROAD TO HELL IS PAVED WITH GOOD INTENTIONS,
THEY WHO CLAIM TO KNOW IT ALL, ARE HERE WHERE THEY ARE NOTHING
ETERNAL DREAMS OF MORBID DARKNESS
HERE THE FAITHFUL SUFFER
ETERNAL DREAMS OF MORBID DARKNESS

In Malice's Wake Melbourne, Australia
In Malice’s Wake have established themselves as the dominant thrash/death metal force for well over a decade in Australia.
Each full-length release has pushed further into darker and heavier territory leading to the savage 4th release - “The Blindness of Faith” - a destructive crossing point of Thrash and Death metal.
Truly thrash metal as it should be - unholy, destroying sonic fire

I dig this album so much, definitely a keeper. Subtly and masterfully mixing death metal subgenres, backed with an over the top production. They're true professionals. Can't wait for their next release!

A Pagan black metal masterpiece. Folk and black metal elements fuse into one extremely catchy and awe inspiring album. This band does not disappoint from all the high praise sent it's way.

I just found these guys and after celebrating Fearsick I immediately came here and had to buy this as well. It might eben be better than Fearsick but who cares. Both are phenomenally good. Old schoolish perfection with powerful modern production. Every song is a fucking killer.
