lyrics

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

LEAD (BARTLEY)

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

SLAUGHTERED

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 ... more
