Beholden 03:35
lyrics

You gave me an offer I couldn't refuse And now I am beholden to you You gave me an offer I couldn't refuse And now I am beholden to you Mixed signals Are not what we deserve Ough! My life Goes on I realise I'm not a pawn for you to use I use my life to decide what I'm for Not for you to abuse Oh! An evocation of the darkest rites I know, I understand what is wrong and what is right Beholden Beholden I am not the chosen one But I'll be the one with the smoking gun I am not the chosen one But I'll be the one with the smoking gun

Decapitation Nation 06:41
lyrics

Decapitation nation Maniacal miscreation I will sever your head For everything you said This plateu, on the plains Will be your final place of rest The Gods have decreed That this faithless place will seal your fate This test The site of your final hours The gallows have been built The guillotine gleams lustfully The ground covered by a blood-red quilt Every person Every nation Will eventually fall Heads will roll, that is my goal As I watch for Satan's call Decapitation nation Maniacal miscreation I will sever your head For everything you said Decapitation Nation x4 I will watch heads roll As I wait for Satan's call This desert will run amok with killers This place will be drenched with blood Hate is eternal My life is infernal I will be the one Who brings about the second coming Of the dark messiah No one will ever bring you higher To your false fucking God

Power Through Intimidation 05:29
lyrics
buy track
What have we gotten ourselves into? Needless anger and violence Lack of compassion Miscommunication Paves the way for agony Depression is a horrible beast Sent from your God To grovel as his foot Will kill our darkest desires I will make sure That this ends now I will be here to close the door To close the door of infamy Open the black curtain call Needless suffering Causing untold emotional blackmail Intimidation Violence is not the only answer But it is the most effective A fear campaign Ruled with an iron fist You speak with the language of a demon Actions speak louder than words Our voices are never heard Brandishing your power as a weapon You strip away our choice You are a slave to your ignorance You can only Resolve your problems With the lowest common denominator Power and anger through bloodshed Controlled by your ego More fragile than your mental health Now due to your desire Your bloodstained corpse hanging by a shelf Power through intimidation Causes untold misery

The Lesser Key Of Solomon 05:07
lyrics
buy track
Wisdom of the black book Cultural bias You're talking as if I give a fuck When you're the one who chose to defy us Yeah! I invoke the rite of passage The spell that brings your annihilation Conjuring the knowledge of the ancient heretics Channeling forbidden realms of pain Forbidden realms of pain Ooh! I call upon the seventy-two To strike down those who oppose With every incantation I recite My power shall only grow The lesser key of Solomon Clavicula Solomonis Regis Goetia the darkest of magics three Sending you into the deep abyss x3 The art of illegal witchcraft I reap every seed I sow Cleaving a path through the meadows of believers I harness their powers from below Embracing the occult is my only imperative I live and die by my conceit Rebelling against the mountainous oppressors Expressing their lies and deceit Welcoming them to the jaws of defeat I read from the Grimoire of the Dead I remember everything that was said Satan himself is calling after me I will never rest until I watch you bleed

Nefarious Delirious 04:44
lyrics

Taking a life, taking my chances I watch as the flaming shadow dances Nefarious delirious This threat is serious The threads of life hang in the balance The Lords of the Underworld have many talents Shrivelled up, my soul becomes a husk And life fades from my corpse at dusk Reduced responsibility I have no choice but to plead insanity Possessed by the most evil thing you can imagine Possessed by Abbadon Nefarious delirious Trapped inside my own mind Convicted of a crime I didn't commit But I swear to God, I'll make you pay for it Nefarious delirious Taking a life, taking my chances I watch as the oncoming horde advances Signs, sigils and symbols Unleash the terrors of the Underworld Psycho-semantic, telekinesis Hypnosis of the highest order Psychosis Bad prognosis You are afflicted by a mental illness

Cardinal Syn 05:04
lyrics
buy track
Preachers on the pulpit raise their hands in glee As they address their clergy Telling visions and stories Of an ancient evil past Lest they forget That their book is full of fucking lies So much evil buried within They forget the cardinal sin They rely on ignorance They attack your deepest fears They must find a way to penetrate your subconscious Reactivate old muscles To find new potency Reinvigorate to restore Reinvent to circumvent Being left out in the cold Metamorphosis Transmutate Transform into something new A cocoon erupts a death's head moth So new life can accrue The real fear lies within Wasting your life is the cardinal sin Life throws dangers in your way Its up to you to have your say A burdenistic prophecy The Majesty of fallacy Hooded figures Sinister Oppressive word of mouth The Pope waiting to administer Black wings are unfurling A delicate, deadly evolution A transition from one realm to another It's time for revolution The dying days of stardom Flickering flames die out A zeitgeist poltergeist that leaves it host That you will never know The real fear lies within Wasting your life is the cardinal sin Cardinal sin Cardinal sin

Triptych of the Ancients Triptych of the Ancients Cryptic messages revealed Ancient terror concealed Every word like poison in my veins No one who is alive will break these chains And you will never be saved All the angels of old that you relied on Have turned their backs on you Indentured Servitude Indentured Servitude Triptych of the Ancients Ancient mystery Indentured Servitude Getting rid of your humanity You are worthless Because God does not value you Slaves to the system Never worked, then or now Time to take your final bow (The Wiccan Witch's Chant) Eko, eko, azarak. Eko, eko, zomelak. Bagabi lacha bachabe, Lamac cahi achababe. Karrellyos. Lamac lamac bachalyas. Cabahagy sabalyos. Baryolos. Lagoz atha cabyolas. Smnahac atha famolas. Hurrahya

Godly fire Godly fire Godly fire Godly fire Godly fire Realise you're a liar Taking liberties with my life And with my soul I desire To rend you limb from limb You have nowhere to run I am a God Yeahhhhh! Bathed in the light of the autumn spirits Flashing their blades and your giblets Impossible cruelty But, of course, that's what we would expect from a deity Walking into the light That feeble excuse for morality Left hand path Sways your direction On your quest for immortality For the glory For the honor For the chance to be revered Absolve yourself in the cleansing inferno Life disappears Unholy Baptism of fire The darkest doom there can be Godly Fire Fate transpire That this man be all he can be Cataclysmic anarchy Ascending life-force Psycopathy Walk into the light That feeble excuse for morality Left hand path Sways your direction On your quest for immortality Godly fire

Paindemonium Torture chamber of immortals Paindemonium Hell is arriving inside your head Prison of Hell under lock and key There is no escape, no way to leave But your bones and your blood will boil And your flesh is ripped away In the paindemonium Paindemonium Seventh circle of Hell There is not much left for me to tell For the sins you have committed Your carnal body lowered into the scalding vats Presided over by the officers of Damnation The prison of the soul Paindemonium Pain One more masterpiece of pain to be hung Tapestries and walls made of fire An ocean of eternal disdain under your feet

about

Following the hottest streak of albums during the most consistent period of the band's near-legendary career, 'Evil Spirits', Infernal Symphony's 30th overall album, is a raw, carnal and emotional experiment of the darkest arcane origins.

The 6th album recorded utilising the new and improved recording setup, and the 6th in a succession of interconnected, contingent storytelling pieces in extreme metal record form, 'Evil Spirits' travels a few hundred years after the events of 'Reverie Of Damnation' and explores the demon world in grimly eye-opening detail.

From album opener 'Beholden', a 3 minute-long cataclysm of pure death metal brutality, to 'Decapitation Nation', a 7 minute excursion of synthwave, fast drumming, chugging bass and our first-ever Matt Bellamy-esque clean vocals, to the brutal 'Lesser Key Of Solomon' and the horrific, monolithic trilogy 'Triptych Of The Ancients', this new release serves up not just a healthy platter of chaotic, groovy black/death metal interspersed with Dungeon Synth, but also some of the most innovative and diverse music the UK metal scene has to offer.

Evoking scenes of marauders pillaging unsuspecting villages, to clandestine hooded figures conducting black magik rites, the sheer level of versatility and variety on display here easily sets this album apart from the pack. Demonic Bishop has honed his vocal ability and riffing edge and penned some legendary, thought-provoking and witty lyrics, whilst also expanding the scope of the tracks on display, opening up song structures and heaviness to previously untouched lengths.

6 years on from our debut, Infernal Symphony prove that they don't just have more left in the tank - they expand, upgrade and thrash the hell out of their tank to boot with every new release.

With artwork photographed from, and with music inspired by, an actual medieval apothecary garden, 'Evil Spirits' is a spirited, salacious sojourn into whimsical yet deadly medieval realms of Witchcraft, demonology and occultism.
