Eivind Nyhus I checked these guys out based on name soley. Great name. Turned out the music is pretty fucking cool too, and lyrically these guys remind me of Praise the Sun. Always positive.

Ofer Mashiach One of the most unique-sounding bands out there, it was an easy pick for me because I was well familiar with their previous releases. This one will never let you get cold or bored. If you even wondered how winning the lottery feels like, by all means, buy this album! Favorite track: Altar Nights.

Prophecy 01:41
Nine seers Three eyes One all-seeings Two are blind One brazier smoking One vision seen Nine seers dreaming The prophecy!

The Gate 05:49
It’s my time I’ve waited so long Countless years of study, I can’t go wrong Flip the Lever! Summon forth the gate Summon forth the gate Summon forth the gate Cosmic skies before my eyes, I’m stunned! I appear in lands far beyond our sun Miskatonic fools! Every one was wrong Every one was wrong Every one was wrong A Prophet of the Gods appeared to me It whispered in my ear and spoke a language unknown to me That I understood A future of remorse If I follow this course I could not comprehend What the pages told me Sacrifice! Oblation An offering Shedding humanity I will loose my soul With this vestal bloodletting It’s my time I’ve made up my mind People die every day, what’s left to say? Find the woman open up her veins Let her body drain Open up her veins Summon forth the gate Insanity awaits!

Altar Nights 04:49
No man has ever touched you All their lies you’ve seen through Their traps have bait but you wont bite You’ll stay pure all of your life You’re the type of girl Who’ll make the portal swirl You’re the type of girl Who’ll make the cosmos whirl When I put my dagger in you All your life you’ve felt the fear Your mother planted in your ear Theres only love in Jesus Christ Protect your heart or pay the price You’re the type of girl Who’ll make the portal swirl You’re the type of girl Who’ll make the cosmos whirl When I put my dagger in you And when I get you alone Ill read from my tome Ill have you hypnotized Now look into my eyes And then ill lead you astray To our castle and lock you away Until your final day To the gods your life we’ll pay Now you sit in our dungeon cold Crumbling, ancient, covered in mold These shackles keep you chained to stone You should have listened to what your mother told You’re the type of girl Who’ll make the portal swirl You’re the type of girl Who’ll make the cosmos whirl On these altar nights!

Cold winds blow against the skin of a crumbling house It's dull eyes gaze eastward Across leagues of ocean To where a storm is slowly birthing

Lunacy! 04:15
She’s the woman of my dreams I’ve followed her through everything She’s imprisoned in this place Within this house dark things i'll face Wood and stone Blood and bone Mind unwound Dark secrets found Traverse these floors of creaking doom What can I see in this room? A womb of evil I can sense My mind will be its recompense Wood and stone Blood and bone Pulsing flesh Screams my death And from the shadows My fear is unveiled The visage of terror brings me To lunacy’s door! My feet take flight without my brain The doctors here think I’m insane I still see her within my dreams If only they’d seen what I’ve seen Wood and stone Blood and bone Mind unwound Dark secret found Wood and stone Blood and bone Pulsing flesh Screams my death

They always think they know They’ve done their studies They have the best intentions To make more money History will tell their tales And revere their names But reality bares its teeth It will never be this way Fools Playing with darkness Fools Playing their games They’re Fools Tampering with madness They’re fools Fate will end their ways They parade their knowledge They’ve learned new things They have every reason To play fate’s strings They will cross new thresholds And blaze new trails But the futures authors Will write a different tale Fools Playing with darkness Fools Playing their games They’re Fools Tampering with madness They’re fools Fate will end their ways To accomplish the unspeakable They must reenact the past Through the dimmest mists of latter years They ready to plot their wicked mass Behold my brothers! The ether gate For soon, it shall open Before us, the work of eons is to be accomplished beneath the shadow of the sleeping stars in this house of the breathless Verily I say, our preparations are at an end Scent of innocence Glow of candles Chant with me! Fools Playing with darkness Fools Playing their games They’re Fools Tampering with madness They’re fools Fate will end their ways

You don’t need to scream any more Yes my dear your nearing death door You’ll be praised for what you do Your death will make a life renew Oh yeah! That which sleeps has slept too long It’s time to wake so ring the gong Send this world to hell again Release it from this plague called man The time has come The voices call Let the gate Bring forth the gods You who the sane Mind abhors Now you shall slumber Slumber no more! They had boasted of a castle, but it had been nothing more than a crumbling victorian affair atop a lonely knoll by the ocean. They took here from the dank, stone walled cellar and up into the altar room where the preparations where arraigned. They sang their hymns and lit their incense unaware that their sacrifice had slowly worked herself free of her bonds. Do you wish to see what lies beyond? Close your eyes and pray to God You seem distraught but do not fret Your sacrifice, will not be ill met This is wrong how can it be? We’ve done all we can, to appease thee Your supplicants who praise your name Now flee your shape or else be maimed The time has come The voices call Let the gate Bring forth the gods You who the sane Mind abhors Now you shall slumber Slumber no more! Slumber no more! Slumber no more!

From above my cosmic den I can smell the desires of men I spread my wings and approach the void Upon this sacrifice I will engorge The light that shines from the living realm Reveals a visage forged in hell I bask in the glory of the fear I see Six robed figures bowing down before me I have returned Beware I have returned Beware I have returned Beware I have returned I have returned from my carrion pit I’ll set your world ablaze And you will never extinguish it! They lead me to the altar room My maiden waits her sweet flesh ill consume Approaching close, all observe my surprise A meatless altar now awaken my ire They’ve damned themselves more then they know Gnashing hunger from my abysmal soul They cannot know what pain awaits These incompetent fools have sealed their own fates I have returned Beware I have returned Beware I have returned Beware I have returned I have returned from my carrion pit I’ll set your world ablaze And you will never extinguish it! The storm is unleashed as my majesty culls The fools run about, how they scatter and fall The screams are sublime as the insects crawl The sacrifice forgotten I’ll punish them all This mansions is marked forever cursed And with my departure my legend is birthed So do not forget me and always beware The slithering terror of the gibbering thing!

Tentagram 06:00
Ia! Ia! Ia! Ia! She appears through the mist Before her stand robbed figures Raising fists they call to her The prophecy has been for-told Confused and scared she falls to her knees A hideous being approaches Voices raised and faces unveiled One thousand amphibians scream! You have come to use our virgin queen You will rule this world it has been foreseen Topple all the Gods the prophecy complete All will know and fear the sigil of your power The Tentagram! Across the bogs and plains of bone The inhuman caravan wanders They clear the cliffs at the edge of the sea A fortress city arises She is taken through the gates And into the chamber of council Nine wise beings await to hear of her tail The legend unfolds and they sing! You have come to use our virgin queen You will rule this world it has been foreseen Topple all the Gods the prophecy complete All will know and fear the sigil of your power The Tentagram! The second moon Of the dead Gods shall rise What was undone Shall once again thrive! This planet marsh Will turn to dust The armies of the white pillar Will live again The sun will rise no more And oceans of blood will flow Ia! Ia! Ia! Ia! There is no return from this place The virgin is set in her fate Divining rod and blessing of Yog The cloak and ruby ordained She wanders out to face the world That is now her dominion She raises her staff and the tenagram rises The shadow of darkness approaches! You have come to use our virgin queen You will rule this world it has been foreseen Topple all the Gods the prophecy complete All will know and fear the sigil of your power The Tentagram!

The years passed by And soon it came clear The end of the human race Had come near We fought and fought There was no stopping it We made our exodus On this silver ship The years passed by We still found no hope Through thousands of light years We continued to roam And every night I see her face The woman i sought In an alien place Graveyard Earth We leave you behind Our future so dark we must be blind Graveyard Earth Be silent and still We leave our dead and an alien will

about

A cult of university professors seeking to rebuild the world.
A virgin trapped in their nefarious scheme.
A psychic fighting for his sanity.
A crumbling house harboring an ancient evil.

These are all factors in Space God Ritual's terrifying new album of science fiction and horror. Over the span of ten tracks the listener will be taken on a journey across an alien world, through an ancient and evil house and into the minds of mad men.
All this is set to traditional doom metal that harkens back to the genre's early beginnings with bands like Candlemass, Pentagram, Trouble and of course, Black Sabbath.

"At times, the guitar tones are reminiscent of Victor Griffin’s brilliant axe-wielding in Pentagram. Then there are those wonderful, nasty demented vocals that make you swear Bobby is singing while high on helium. "
-Doomed and Stoned

"...the music and vocals coming together in effective ways, nice garnishes of audio effects, and a fairly stable tone to the tales. Check it out if you've been itching for some doom metal that tells stories, or if you just want it more theatrical than usual, but be ready to play the album at the volume it deserves."
-The Burning Beard

"With nods to classic bands like Candlemass and musicians like Phil Swanson (Briton Rites, Lords of Triumph, Hour of 13), the band adds their own creative nuances that work very well in reshaping the old-school sound."
-Metal Wani

"They have a lot of cool ideas presented in a package that had to been hard to execute. The results speak for themselves..but in a creepy multi voice that might eat your soul."
-Metal Temple

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
