At the Beginning, of autumns dawn I conjure forth, the Elder Door Through the gates, the piping sound Feel the shaking, of the ground Yog Sothoth comes, to clear the slate To rid the world, of its fleshly state The titter, of un-blessed things Evoken sight, doth madness brings

Madness! 04:52
Unknown is this threshold, that you traverse so carelessly Men of science you called yourselves, until your minds were lost Ancient ruins buried in ice, beneath the Antarctic Circle You found a story so dark and perverse, you could not see Your sanity slipping! You cry out, no one hears you Lost in the grips of madness Mind besieged waking nightmares You now live in utter madness You stare long into the abyss, and find its gaze you Feel its tentacles reaching out, feel its grip on your mind Gleaming eyes watching from shadows, you scream out but know one hears Multi-tongued voices whisper, secrets in your sleeping ear Chorus Feels as though I’ve lost all control Sinking down, fall in endless void Hands reach out; I look for grip to hold Lost to all, I’m lost in madness Oh no! Chorus
3.
The Weeping 06:33
Words go unspoken, tales go untold Bygone secrets lost, lore that makes the blood run cold Heroic journeys, lore and philosophies None of the blind can see, in this world of misery Now, we are weeping The time, of death draws nigh Ideals of poison, motives of war; centers of learning empty Nobody reads anymore, electronic, masters And their empty slaves, slowly wasting, away all our brains Chorus Now there’s nothing that you can do If you want to live like them too Only the few will reality find All of the wisdom that’s left in their minds So pray to the bastards of technology And grind away the hours ‘till eternity Now the chains are broken, and the people free Vast fires burn the sky, with electric wizardry Forests are growing, intellects return The people are happy, the children learn

Choirs scream, up in the sky Crosses invert, whenever she walks by Necromantic Woman Speak the words, raise the dead This lonely woman, he takes to the bed Chorus By the four winds I call to you By the creeping things of the soil I speak Rise from your earthly domain Under a sky which the rain doth streak Free my heart from its lonely bonds Match my gaze with yours Husband of mine from a long distant time From this tomb I command thee to rise Rise Rise Rise Oh deathly husband of mine Rise! Chorus
5.
Mad Alhazred 04:58
He spat out visions, of his travels in the deep Beyond the ocean, of endless dunes Where he encountered a race, a terror that’s never been seen Sit now and listen and ill tell you what he wrote The mad Alhazred Wanders the Dunes The mad Ahazred Pondering his doom I lay awake on sleepless nights, trying to understand why he chose Me to tell of his astral flight, through the universe I tell you now from within my dreams, the very demons he described And now the thing I fear the most, is where I’ll go when I die I’ll never be the same, since I met the mad Arab Now I know his words, I can’t escape, the doom of the mad Arab They came and took him, to the throne of a mighty god The devil of the astral verse, known as Azathoth What they told me of his pilgrimage, filled my mind with what he saw The music of the cosmic flutes, designed to torture souls Chorus
6.
Out world man, who claims to have the power Will you be our savior, can you face the tower Evil malice of Kolder, Looms from the Sea Legion of the Dead, threaten humanity It’s the web of the witch world, man you gotta beware It the web of the witch, invoke the power if you dare Sulcarkeep is destroyed, the first blow is struck Tregarth is captured, upon the table of conversion he’s strapped Escape in flying machine, Encounter Island of the obscene Death beyond the gate, enemy of Kolder escape It’s the web of the witch world, open your eyes It’s the web of the witch world; you have no choice its fight or die Journey through the storm and sea, ship wrecked on distant shore Crawling through the Hole of Volt, thrice horned the old ones are Beseech those who claim the sea, sail into the fray Separate and conquer now, fighting the fire with power Traverse the gate, find the secrets within Those of the other world, drink the blood of those they seek Massacre provides distraction, to move unseen Final conflict ends, man has toppled the great machine The Web weaves on!
7.
Virtuous people of the sea, defeated by minions of mans cruelty Sent back to the depth, to pass from all memory Only to rise in time, exacting their merciless plan Rising for vengeance, killings of attrition Ancients arise from the depths, to take back their stolen lives Doomed city by the sea, now lays quiet and dead The people cry out in anguish, their sins they now lament Claimed by the ghosts of doomed Sarnath’s past The Bokrug’s lust for vengeance, will be man’s death The battle was bloody and timeless, the sun now raises red The waters run scarlet with death, usurpers are driven to graves The sound of pain and torment fall upon deaf ears, no one will come and save them Descendants of long past years The lights have gone out, all over Sarnath Where once there was light, there now is only death The specters now recede, to their water graves Their vengeance now complete Sarnath is dead! Pre Chorus Chorus
8.
It falls, from the sky, to bring your doom The land withers and dies, draining the force of light The color swirls and spreads, an evil from the stars The mortal coil you shed, to be food for the gods Heed the eldritch tales, feel the way they twist your mind Heed the eldritch tales, lost to oblivion for all time Ascend the tempest mount, to find the lurking fear For reasons I cannot account, I am a prisoner here The lightening calls them out, to feast on human flesh Trying not to shout when secrets are made clear Chorus The smell it overwhelms, the air begins to chill Living beyond the realms, of human life The air begins to warm, spelling the doom of him He has been torn, from his synthetic life Your hear mechanized whirls, within the veil A world gone unseen, brought to our sight Massive bodies shift, beyond space and time The professor is now gone, taken back with them Chorus

about

"What makes Space God Ritual more worthy of your attention than other stoner rock acts? They have that 70's fuzzy guitar tone, occult overtones and riffs aplenty. But what they have that sets them apart is the sense of foreboding and drama that you would, ironically, find in a lovecraftian novel."
-The Sleeping Shaman

"It all comes together for a doom-soaked experience with plenty of kick to the drums and dark, groovy riffs that slide right into place."
-Ride With The Devil

"The aspect that causes, and will cause, a person's ear to hunger for more of the Ritual is the almost dramatic sound found in every song."
-Doommantia

"Eldritch Tales is full of tragic figures from doomed men of science to (nec)romantic women, all of which make suitable subject matter for downtuned riffs.
-Paranoid Hitsophrenic

"...the band have their act together, know their idiom inside-out and are ready to start carving out a larger slice of the doom pie."
-Temple of Perdition

" And it actually doesn't get any more traditional than this. These doomsters have no need for modern day arrangements, elaborate psychedelic passages or grunts. Nope, this is straight forwarded doom rock, coming directly from the darkest realms of the seventies and preparing to blast a scorching hot summer through your speakers."
-Merchants of Air

about

Space God Ritual Portland, Oregon

In the deepest sub-basement of Olaff's Antiquities, The Curator gathers his faithful to spread his obscure and otherworldly message. Down they go, deep into the earth's forgotten caverns of stygian splendor, where tyrant gods await! It is there, under the ancient forest of stalactites, that the auditory horrors of Space God Ritual take their shape and are birthed into an unsuspecting world! ... more
