The Old Gods

In this dark age, many turn from the light
To ancient voices heard in the night
Worship the creature, deny thy Creator
Death will beckon, to embrace the blind
Bow to the old gods, believe in lies
Bow to the old gods, humanity dies
Darkening mind, sickness within
The infection will spread, animating the dead
No life within, an open grave
A hollow corpse with a relentless a hunger
There is a light, an eternal flame
Of the Holy One, Blessed be His name
Hung on a tree, atonement paid
Cleansed in His Blood
The old gods can not give life
The old gods only bring death

Are You Afraid

Within the thoughts within the din
There is a voice distant and clear
In the blood of the risen Son, darkness you will flee
how strange to die in order to live
and within that death… we will be free
A life engulfed in darkness
Despair of emptiness consumes
Is there any relief, Gaping wounds, Gaping wounds, nothing brings peace
Are you afraid to die
Are you afraid to die
Are you afraid to die
Are you afraid to die
Where is the light, for I cannot see
Extinguished in night, my soul it sinks
The spirits that once brought me delight
Now devour me by candle light
Paint me with blood, fill me with light
I wish to escape tormented life
Let emptiness begin to subside
Where there was turmoil, let peace reside

Vampiric

Lies that drain the soul
Claws that scratch the mind
Fangs that tear the flesh
Darkness that closes in
Torment that cripples life
Control takes over all
Corpses are left behind
Vampiric....
Life that is in His blood
Nails that pierced His hands
Thorns on His head
Crucifixion on a tree
Atonement made for all
Believe that will set you free
Victory x3 (in His name)
Lies that drain the soul
Claws that scratch the mind
Fangs that tear the flesh
Darkness that closes in
Torment that cripples life
Control takes over all
Corpses are left behind

Darkness Falls

|
Circles are drawn on the floor
Incantations are made
Power surges through all
Enter the realm of darkness
Darkness flees the light
In the Name, escape the night
Shadows dance, intoxicating trance
Such a delight
Until it's time to collect
Gasp for breath
Voices urge your death
Terror takes hold
Until you sink into madness
Impaled and bleeding
So the story goes
One can cast out the torment you know

This is the kind of gothic rock I absolutely love. Oldschool, guitar-heavy music in the vein of Love Like Blood. I'm really hoping for a full-length LP.

I've enjoyed The Wake since the 90s. The new album feels like a trip to right where they left off! Goth Rock at it's best! I can't wait to see where they go from here!!

This contemporary Finnish band has the classic melodramatic Batcave sound: for everyone who ever owned a pleather choker.

Layering guitars and saxes over synths and drum machines, this Oakland duo's darkwave is as melodically potent as it is texturally rich.
