Morbid Angel – Immortal Rites (from the 1989 album ‘Altars of Madness’, Earache Records)
The morbid and occult obsession of Death Metal is not merely an headbanging soundtrack to some slasher movie-induced escapist fantasy. Here, we present the seeming juxtaposition of Morbid Angels music with Vedic and Tantric imagery to illustrate the same spirit that both are an expression of, only in a different time and space.. Though modern in form, and as such, dark in aesthetic (to capture from an aliented youth perspective the modern darkness of the Kali Yuga), the music and lyrics still manage to compliment the imagery, showing that the best Death Metal music is not ephemeral, niche entertainment for braindead outsiders but a legitimate artform with a reverence for the eternal.
Only death is real
Thanks to usernamen for additional inspiration (and some footage). Now in HD.
Gathered for a sacred rite
Subconscious minds allied
Call upon immortals
Call upon the oldest one to intercede
Rid us of our human waste
Cleanse our earthly lives
Make us one with darkness
Enlighten us to your ways
From churning worlds of mindlessness
Come screams unheard before
Haunting voices fill the room
Their source remaining undefined
Shadows cast from faceless beings
Lost for centuries
Lords of death, I summon you
Reside within our brains
Cast your spells upon our lives
So that we may receive
The gift of immortality
Bestowed on those who seek you
I pray
Now immortal

I’m confused as to how you actually supplied any sort of valid information to the conversation. Everything you said seems to communicate nothing more than “I disagree!”

Oh, the mind of the aspie and its hilarious products! You might as well have put Beethoven to clips of dogs taking a dump or juxtaposed Burzum with Bambi (his mother never died; she had never truly lived). The interpretation of the juvenile lyrics in this turd of a song is even worse than in the Spongebob deathcore ones.

I never actually thought about the lyrics to this tune before. Insightful, thought provoking stuff indeed.

This is awesome, seeing Morbid Angel side by side this ancient philosophy really adds context to their work. Thanks for doing this my fellow hessian. Also thanks to Morbid Angel, for making such vicious enlightening music.
