Threshold of Pain

D Potter Really catchy and fun yet technically intricate and progressive death/thrash metal. This band clearly puts a lot of work into crafting their sound and more specifically into weaving in technical nuances like polyrhythms and key/time changes without a casual listener noticing at all. The riffs are legitimately catchy and the mix is interestingly balanced; you can hear all of the bass's harmonies seomwhat-unconventionally complimenting the guitar. Good things coming! Favorite track: Feasting on the Souls in the Vortex of Morbid Amphibious Digestion.

1.
Under the cover of night, he comes forth from the crypt By the absence of light he claims the living and the dead Celebrating death he collects skins and hides He is the Carrion Troll The masses of death Patrolling the night Collecting corpses Snapping of bones Tearing of flesh Cracking of skulls For mercy they cry Right as they die Bringer of plagues Reaper of souls As he approaches Your skin turns ice cold Say your goodbyes There is no escape Fodder you are for The Carrion Troll Forever will he stalk Forever shall he feast No one knows the mystery of this night crusading beast Forever he will wander for the ruin of souls
2.
Your sins weigh heavily on your soul No turning back judgment has come Infernal demons come for you Eagerly waiting for you to die Passing through death and hell's domain Unholy pyres burn for you Citizens of hell come gather round to witness your eternal punishment Cremated in hellfire You have been damned your skin is charred Cremated in hellfire Your screams shall go unheard Ashes fall from your blackened limbs Organs exposed your brain is singed The hellish flames shall never cease Despite your constant begs and pleads The lord of hell smiles down on you Delighting in your suffering Forever now you'll be Cremated by the flames
3.
Far from over the mountains they came Bearing their hatred, their steel, and their flame Down the steep mountain slopes they thundered Eyes cast on villages about to be plundered Roaring and screaming they bear bloody teeth Wide open jaws and razor sharp claws They stand tall above men with hooves on their feet Thick horns on their heads They move swiftly and fleet They come to conquer They come to kill The slaying of mankind is their only thrill In hand they brandish large axes and swords There is no hiding from these deadly hordes The humans can’t run or fight for their lives All will be skinned and gutted with knives The beast men are here and they smell your fear Darkness and fire sweep over the land The domination of man is at hand The reign of the barbarian beast-men
4.
Moonless and starless The castle peaks the horizon Storm clouds and lightning Engulf the land surrounding Swallowed by moss The castle lay in ruins Inside lurks Unending waves of terror Castle of perdition Where the souls remain forever Castle of perdition Ruled by an unseen tyrant Screams of death shall never cease Cries of agony, plague, disease Ghouls and shades and hordes of undeath Wander these halls of impending doom Bodies are scattered all over the floor While skeletons hang chained to the walls and ravenous demon vultures Consume those who are still alive
5.
Storms cracked open the rift in the sky Those reptiles that came forth we do defy They hail from the ethereal plane of slime and march upon humanity to end all time Seeking vengeance on the world and Earth's desecration These serpentine lizards slaughter mankind No choice but to die by this amphibious infestation They have bodies of green, yellow, orange, and red Claws sharp as obsidian and horns on their heads From their mouths they spit black venom and with their forked tongues lick up the blood of the dead The lizards lead their armies to war Such horrors came through that cosmic door Wielding stone axes, spears, and swords The human race they vehemently abhor Their ancestors ruled the world long ago They return with a reptilian supremacy to bestow Upon the world with the cause of a second creation The amphibian lords prepare the alters of stone and harvest the souls for eternal damnation In the vortex of digestion the souls are consumed The stomach of their amorphous god of slime Four-headed serpents and snakes gather round Slithering, sliding to a ritual never so sacrosanct Prehistoric spells and incantations are cast as the sky slowly turns red Morbid amphibious digestion ensues Screaming, the souls are eternally feasted upon Marking the age of the amphibian dominion The everlasting reptilian supremacy
