Banished dreams dissipate As I retaliate Banished dreams dissipate As I retaliate As I refuel I turn my hate against you No pain or solace Will escape my grasp I decided long ago I had to attack Strike at the heart of the evil empire Vaulting over wall-to-wall barbed wire Sordid whims multiply in the congregation No more room left for the scapegoat That you rely on What will it take to open your eyes? The only thing in my banished Dreams Is your demise Banished Dreams Disappate Banished Dreams dissapate Why did you not retaliate? All I can feel is your hate Yeah! When an idea comes to you from the ether Its only there for a fleeting moment Without nurturing and shelter It withers like a sapling Sustainably source your thoughts Make them organic Passing those of others off as your own Will do you no favours You will be without saviours

S. O. S Servants of Suffering S. O. S Welcome to your doom Sat in my bedroom I contemplate Years gone by Seething with anger Wiping tears of regret away The years have not been kind To the choices made by man Had enough of listening To the voices from beyond Heed the lessons of the past Bear witness to atrocities that have amassed The body count of human kind Is a stain on our collective minds S. O. S Save our rotten fucking Souls Not that we deserve mercy We're servants to our suffering Worry not, they say With no concern or regard for their mistakes No second thought or bathing of an eye As they take without giving Leaving only ruin in their wake

Dark Arts 04:07
Step forth Into the art of darkness Unleash your aggressions From the bowls of hell Repent your transgressions That no angel can repel Hone the secrets of your craft The curtain closes when the day is won Conduct the inner workings of the left hand path Soon you will know That your ritual has begun The curse to end all curses Breaking down your essence into parts Painting the sky the colour of death Practitioner of dark arts The mark of Lucifer Emblazoned on your chest Remember those who wronged you And all but forget the rest

Hexes in the Moonlight We prepare the body A sorry sight to see Moonlight The ritual has begun We're having so much fun An implication of my imprecation Is the malady that falls over you No end in sight for your ultimate plight As I continue casting hexes in the Moonlight The pact of blood is stronger than steel The band of brothers absolutely real The force of Satan flowing through my fingertips As the shade so grey will silence all lips The barrier of forces supernatural Slices at the source of my torment I recite the ancient verse to invoke wrath Its far too late to repent Hexes in the Moonlight We prepare the body A sorry sight to see Moonlight The ritual has begun We're having so much fun Gather the cards of tarot And the blood of a slain beast Secure the ground with markings Ready for a celebratory feast Draw the ancient symbols Into the musty ground  Stand in the centre and chant the rite And soon revenge will be inbound From the book of Belial You will stand your trial Wearing my pentagram amulet I bow to the statue of Baphomet

The struggle to survive Is always the price we pay To observe the wonders of this place To be an optimist Is to be a masochist Endless hope destroyed By unbearable infinite pain I try my best, I really do To stay strong to weather what I get put through This life has beauty in it's brevity But falls victim inevitably to entropy The only miracle that is real Is that I am still standing Despite the gauntlet that has been laid In a world of agony that's constantly expanding Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the beast, knowing that in Satan your labor is not in vain And neither is your pain Optimist Masochist One and the same Optimist Masochist The gluttony for pain To be an optimist Is to be a masochist

Paralysed by the biting breath of flame Traversal of this paradise of pain Deserted realms untouched by civilisation The barren pinnacle of isolation Victim to the sands of time They wait for no man Each of us lost in this paradigm Each a grain of sand Eating us alive from the inside out The relentless marching of the ants The cosmos takes no prisoner But the father still recants The hopeless tune of an endless strum The forsaken beat of an endless drum The fibers of my being tanned The leather of the damned The silken road of travellers lost Wanders of destiny Erosion of our inhabited flesh Making husks of mortality Victim to the sands of time They wait for no man Each of us lost in this paradigm And each of us a grain of sand

Psychophant 05:32
A psychophant A tyrant Heirophant of the all consuming end Psychophant A confidante Armageddon Heaven forfend Patience is a virtue Obedience a sin When the questions end The lunacy begins Devoted to your cause Pious you become When comfort starts creeping in Your truth-searching is done Snivelling wretch For ideas far-fetched Idiocy personified Within yourself you seek Anything other than bleak Making fools of your kind With your horse that's high, but weak Dissolving your resolve Revolving round your core Absolving your sin But forever creating more Resolving the problem With a made-up solution Your gray matter such a bore Intellectual pollution A psychophant A tyrant Heirophant of the all consuming end Psychophant A confidante Armageddon Heaven forfend Subservient until the end Your simple, sorry humiliation Pathetic designation As a preacher psychophant Implanting seeds of doubt Already rotten before they sprout

about

Surprise!!

Yes, Infernal Hordes, we have yet again unleashed another brand-new full length album for you as a fantastic shock announcement! In order to celebrate his 30th trip round the sun on the globe (no, it's not flat you imbeciles), Infernal Symphony's own master of ceremonies and sole band member Demonic Bishop has cooked up an incredible and totally free to download album - namely, the one you see before you.

Yes, 'XXX', or 'Thirty' as it is otherwise known, is the 22nd studio album and 3rd major post-DAW upgrade release from the long-running avant garde band. We have unleashed 8 brand new tracks for you on this offering, released totally in secret and hot on the heels of the incredibly well-received 'Horrific Synthesis' album.

Wasting no time getting into the thick of it, 'XXX' launches right from the get go into a thunderous cavalcade of tribal drums, doomy lyrics and harsh death metal guitar riffs. Presented as almost the complete antithesis to the last album, 'XXX' gets rid of the futuristic synths and black metal vocal approach we released last month and instead creates a doom metal influenced atmospheric death metal approach.

No celebration of such a milestone would be complete without reference to Lucifer and the horrors of existential threat, and lyrically this album delivers in spades as it ruminates on topics such as the weight of war, the mistakes of mankind's past, the inevitable entropy of the universe, black magick rituals and fears of ageing and regret, to name but a few.

Numerous succinct and memorable songs await you in this feast of exuberant occultism, and we invite you for free to come along for the extreme sonic delight and mammoth devilish riffs that Infernal Symphony fans have long known that we deal in effortlessly. This album marks an evolution once again in our overall sound, with even more confidence and expert delivery in the vocal department, along with shorter and more explosive songs, groovier hate-laden bass, and a sonic evisceration of the standard template of similar bands of our ilk.

Thank you one and all for your support over the years. This album would not have been possible without the incredible and unending support of our fan base, and as a project which started when I was 23 years old, things can only get better here on out, on what is my 30th birthday and what is hopefully a welcome birthday treat for all of you.

Ave Satanas, and enjoy the album! Many more of which are sure to follow...
