The Restless Doomed
09:02

|
A curse born from dishonesty (deceit)
Selfish acts to fellow man
To haunt the lands
His fate sealed
Forever and a day
He shall wander…
Be weary, traveller
For the fire from the meads
Run to heart and home
Not to be stricken by fear
Loopt weg van de schoverik
En aanschouwt zijn zwarte hond
The restless doomed
Wretched defrauder
Through flames and ash
The mark engraved
Go back from whence you came
Undo the dead in the eyes of the redeemer
Waar moet ik hem laten? Waar moet ik hem laten?
Legt hem waar ge hem gevonden hebt!

Wij, Hoeren van Lucifer
06:20
|
|||
|
As the twilight sets
Before the moon shimmers bright
Folk begin to tak their gates
Begins the witches night
The haunting pitch-black
Blocks out every light
All becomes black
Remains the unholy fire
Around the scorching flames
Call of the ominous bell
Wij, doordrongen van onkuisheid
Zij aanbidden de brandende vlammen
Hij danst in de nacht
Wij, doordrongen van onkuisheid
Zij aanbidden de brandende vlammen
Hij danst in de nacht
Wij, moeders van onreinheid
Zij smachten naar het vuur
Hij danst in de nacht
Hij danst in de nacht…
De klok slaat middernachte
Alras, zusters, maakt u klaar
Wij, hoeren van Lucifer, ontvangen
Zijn duivelse, ontaarde gebaar
Ik weet wat er ons wacht
En vergeet de stad van het Licht
Omdat ik de Satan aanbid
Blijven de poorten dicht
Lucifer!!!
De dood zal niet tot ons komen
En de ratten lopen voorbij
Op de dwazen Zijn toorn ontstoken
Lucifers wijsheid verschijnt in mij
Around the scorching flames
Call of the ominous bell
Awaiting the evil-doer
Emerging from depths of hell

Mayhem and the Goat
07:14

My brethren – Lucifer walks amongst us
While god awaits our fall
My brethren – The devil shall take
My brethren – Obey his call
I am the night and the shadow forever
I am the spawn of Lord below
I am the mayhem, forgive I shall never
I am the pain upon thee I bestow
Mijn broeders – Knevelaers en nachtdieven
Aanschouwt uw generaal
Mijn broeders – Vilder en spinner
Onzen duysternis – Gouwdieven, allemaal
Chaos swirls around the goat
Our darkest night devours your world
My brethren – Lucifer est in nobis
My brethren – Non confidunt in deum
I am the night and the shadow forever
I am the spawn of Lord below
I am the mayhem, forgive I shall never
I am the pain upon thee I bestow
Ontluikt het ochtendgrijs
De stonde van den dageraet
Den kapel, achterwaarts betredend
The carnal, not the divine
Aanschouwt uw generaal
Mijn broeders – Vilder en spinner
Onzen duysternis – Gouwdieven, allemaal

De Gnijdige
04:50
|
|||
|
In caverns deep and caverns hollow
Lurking beneath houses old
Decrepit crone, derelict hag
At the mercy of alms
This shapeshifting beldam
Shrieks the vermin curse
Flee from shame and disgrace
On the 13th day
In the voids of blackened earth
The holy candles burning
Reject nightly blasphemy
Hay and torches
A final stand
Fire consumes
Hissing and wailing
Burns among the common folk
Murder must fool in its wake
In caverns deep and caverns hollow
Lurking beneath houses old
Decrepit crone, derelict hag
In het hol van die Gnijdige
Lag dood en verbrand een grooten zwarte kat
Met krommen rug en krommen poot

Stigma Diabolicum
06:56
|
|||
|
Thee witches whose souls damnation claims
Come forth and answer to your names
Devil whore, with owl and black crow
Satan’s might upon his children bestowed
Far from the house of God
Where the mandrake and death flower grow
There dwelleth the hellish wench
A snake, serving the One Below…
The One, below…The One, below
She doth misguide, led souls astray
Your witchcraft passed, earth be shaken
Malleus! Malificarum! Malleus! Malificarum!
En zij draagt het teken van den duyvel
Lucifers ijskoude zaad ontvangen
Hare voeten geraken gene eerde
Satans trawante – De helleveeg moet branden
In the darkest hours they shined
The ever open windows of her mind
Towards the dark entry
The realm of perpetual night
Into the flames she weeps and woes
Haar asse gloeit en koelt niet af
Maar stuift naar alle kanten
Hier baat geen stroom, grove of graf
De vijand baart zij schande

about
Rituals of the Dead Hand is a Black / Doom formation from Belgium (forged by members from the well-known Post-Metal band Hemelbestormer), who present their 3rd full length album «The Wretched and the Vile».
Compared to Hemelbestormer, ROTDH takes a complete different direction in both sound and presentation of their craft. The music can be described best as Black Metal with an overall doom and death sound that is very harsh, destructive and rather aggressive. Great riffing entangled with pounding drum parts and low end bass lines that brings the music to the ultimate tension. The vocals are rather old school sounding, but well balanced in the mix to give that little extra.
The Wretched and the Vile is a blasphemous piece of art that can be enjoyed by fans of Black, Death & Doom Metal!

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.

Outstanding! This is the word to describe not only "Strävan", but Murg, as a proficient, unique swedish duo. Their ability to craft ferocious hymns, unsophisticated but with plenty of variety and melodic settings is truly impressive. This is an album that stayed with me over the years and I am sure I will keep it close for many years to come. And after hearing it hundreds of times, it still gives me the chills. Timeless, greatly atmospheric and catchy, this is, beyond doubt, a masterpiece!
