Michael Progressive metal that rivals Dream Theater. Haunting keyboard sounds. Adventurous atmospheric songs will send you on a journey. The songs progress. The guitars get crunchier. You'll also be reminded of Flock of Seagulls and Dimmu Borgir a little bit. Most of all I think I was right when I said Dream Theater. This music is very unpredictable. Favorite track: One-Winged Angel.

Lo and behold Hark, the angels sing! As the sun breaks We are broken Apocalypse God of whispers Taken in the night Never seen Never heard from again Never will you find this gift We need To believe The whispers.... God of whispers Decieves Hide your butchery In plain sight Until the dawn of a new age Filled with rage No more Waiting to escape To see his face Filled with bile Kill the slithering kings of filth Vile refrain No more time to waste on this disgrace Bathe in The ruin The pain The blood of the victims The will to kill Poised to win Could you be the one to change them? Your faith will go down in history But for the wrong reasons Pure hatred Disgusted Looking at thy self Hanging for your sickening And making it to the cast iron gate Dismayed in a towering fortress Shackled to my own misery Never to escape Or be heard from again The christian 'love' Getting even with the Eden The howling aching The sorrow that goes back to the garden Evil enslaved God of Whispers I'm a shell of my former self

No! Lord of devastation Evil lives Assimilation Time to become the killer In the dark Sequestration I'm the keeper of the gates It's getting clearer Everything hurts Why now?! Evil Lords are gathering Against the structure, denied Everything seems to be getting darker As it died Through the storm All for a hollow victory Back to the start Pulling their flesh apart The cultists evil dark Beside the long forgotten Infrastructural evil mind The long dark Black You give yourself a gift In the end we are all dying Your time is running short All that's ever gone is ever knowing The long dark The long dark of devastation

The battles were long and hard The pain was your past The heat through the haze How long can you last? Bleeding From within! Pain gives justice Time to assume the ghost For my task Shame and solace Battlefields Are taking their toll Roll the bones Three times Sacrificing the curse for your Bloodline Feeling the guilt of past Organ failure Looking for my place As I'm falling apart Falling apart Having no answer to the question Take your sword and shield And Fall! Erasing my mind Bleeding from within The only thing you will ever know No one should live through this agony! No one should live through this but me!

Grave Danger 05:10
Grave Danger Slaying The manger To absolve all of your sins You're walking straight Into great danger A chance to transform yourself lies within Solving the pernicious puzzle Making the pilgrimage of pain You're the king of natural warfare Shadow matter lies at your side And the dead support your life Once bitten, twice shy Unseen evil revealed Unnatural selection Bitter brutal anger By your side True nature concealed Your beliefs should be repealed You have a crumbling defence Give up the Holy pretence You have everything but evidence And a holy book which doesn't make sense On the brink You shall sink Give in to the Lord of the living Atomic withering A fragile construction of a deity But he can only reach you at the end Ignorance I, in the name of the believers, State the evidence is clear The truth is boring to hear You're in grave danger! Your beliefs are in grave danger!

Reverie Of Damnation The Bleeding Of all opposing men around me Healing Decieving The reverie of damnation Clouds my judgement now! A travesty heard Around the world All your worst fears coming true All your dreams All turn into a nightmare You want to stop struggling True to your thought's embrace Numb Revealed by the prophecy Anxious remainder of devastation The reverie of damnation Unseen Wild breeds Within my own mind It's clear to see That the leaders of the past Were just The blind leading the blind I have a dream That all will be relieved Unto, also Resort to enduring my torture My torture! My torture... I've become a man the clergy deride A phantom place where echoes of punishment ride How many Circles of hell Must we traverse To save our souls? How many times Must we endure Violence? Open the eyes of the unwise How many lives Must be lost? Until we awake from the silent slumber? Open the eyes of the unwise How many lives Must be lost? Until we awake from the silent slumber? Destroying the world Nature takes its course The reverie of damnation Eternity in hell is here for all who live this life!

Brimstone moondust Bestial bloodlust Corrosion of trust To leave the voice of the soul To live your life like a soldier Feels like Hell Burning to the end Tortured Deity Ashes scatter Recycled tatters Leading To my doom The path burns red Hot coals under foot To reanimate the dead Flesh promises To be made My soul cannot be saved You can't conceal The burning will not heal I can never recover from your zeal For every choice I make One more blow my sorry soul can't take The cinders make me hindered Burning body Destined to burn Like my heart Brimstone Moondust Bestial warlust You are not the just Feel the force of my thrust I will leave you in my dust!

Burial In Blazes Entombed in a fiery grave The road to death is paved A turgid vessel of faith It will never be the same A torrent of terror awaits The light of lucifer illuminates Abandoned hell falling down Another corpse comes for my crown Burial in blazes The cadaver now cremated A Knight once so pure Cast down into the cure Awash with gratitude Drowning in an ocean of disdain Mind manipulation Thats difficult to ascertain Buried in a shallow grave The light once seen now fades A viking burial in blazes And the world turns into flame Now Awake for the first time - In an age Unseen The material From which I'm made The cinders blow away Like a nuclear bomb For the first time I realise I might be right! Burial in blazes Burial in blazes Burial in blazes Burial in blazes

about

Infernal Symphony ups the ante yet again with a resounding answer to the question - 'Does this band every stop producing pure gold?'

The answer is: No!

Reverie Of Damnation is a brand-new collection of progressive doom metal tunes which provides a different spin on the themes of our recent material. With 5 new releases under our belt since our renaissance of better production and a renewed focus on black metal, starting with 2021's 'Columns of Deformity', this unholiest of dirges is a sidestep into the unknown once again.

Embracing such new colours in our sonic palette as noise rock, post-rock, acoustic guitars, live-recorded keyboards and guitar, as well as a softer and more spacey vibe, in places, and a vein of viciousness a few notches higher than that of our last few releases, 'Reverie Of Damnation' proves that you can take the lo-fi out of Infernal Symphony, but you can't take Infernal Symphony out of a stunning string of quality and consistently great releases very easily.

8 mind-opening tracks convalesce into a work which is as refreshing as it is interesting. A razor sharp production job brings out everything in a career-best performance by Demonic Bishop as each new track on this 45 minute album further convinces you of our brilliance and wows you with our most all-encompassing package yet.

The album centres on a few closely-tied-together themes, including manipulation of the mind, the burning reaches of hell, and mythological and historical recounts. Listen closely, and you will find a common lyrical thread running through each of these tracks in order - explaining the story of a homosexual knight seized by the clutches of mental illness and abused, or some would say 'cured', by the woeful medical practices of the time coupled with the ignorance and lack of compassion from the Church, perhaps best captured by the title track.

As the tastefully mysterious cover art implies, this album takes us slightly closer to our original subject matter of religious destruction, lost mysteries unravelled and the onward march of ignorance due to ancient lies. Is humanity inevitably doomed? Well, if the sound of this new album is to believed, it may be closer than you think...
