As I enter the gates of Hades
The more I see the more I wish to die
Tombs and corpses the rulers of this world
Spirits rising to grant me eternal pain
Hidden for years,
Hatred corroding his veins
An urge to defile the temple
And crush the hideous lord
Slay, slay them, profaner
Smash the cross and free us from secular chains
Burn, burn them, profaner
Nothing but ash shall enter in those holy lungs
A blasphemous need
Smoldering through centuries
A constant dream
Of idols in flames
To sin is to live
A new order he brings
By the sign of the pentagram
Ride freedom’s wings

The Blackest Of Omens
03:24
|
|||
|
You sense the presence of the Devil
as fear crawls under your skin
sweaty hands hold tight the cross of jesus
as hordes of black arise
It's like a jump into the dark void
with your feet tied
absurd beliefs of blind salvation
time to let the saints cry
He’s there, but you won’t see him
His face, grinning with spite
Your nightmares don’t disappear with daylight
Still sure about that wretched dude?
Await the blackest of omens!
Let the whips crack, unholy and severe
Let those bloody wounds delight the infernal charioteer

The Rite of the Goat
02:58
|
|||
|
Still it’s 1984
Under black marks, the bells of war
Lose all control
Fat, greedy leaders, prediction foretold
Storm of damnation unleashed
Dystopia so real, Hades revealed
Is this conspiracy?
2020, nothing is real
It’s the rite of the goat,
Smash the cross, kiss the horns, swear the oath
Dead souls obeying their needs
The reaper is putting your mind at ease
You’re trusting demons in disguise
Sacrifice, armageddon of lies
Can’t stop this endless dormancy
Raise the dead, witchcraft unseen
Missile attack necromansy
Drop the bomb, crimes so obscene
It’s the rite of the goat,
Smash the cross, kiss the horns, swear the oath
It’s the rite of the goat,
You better worship the star they eternally loathe

Summon The Evil Lords
04:11
|
|||
|
Nothing but a dying truth / Staggering through centuries
Metal is the deathly scythe / Ready to slit the throat of the priest
You will feel the darkness
It’s so poisonous
Inhale the decibels
Ohhh it’s so ravenous
Summon the evil lords/Join ‘em in eternal sin
Eye for eye, tooth for tooth / So naïve, the christian youth
Nothing sacred, no one’s pure / I fear this shit will still endure
You will feel the darkness
It’s so poisonous
Inhale the decibels
Ohhh it’s so ravenous
Summon the evil lords / Join ‘em in eternal sin
Ahhhhh it’s unholier than you think
Ahhhhh in christ’s pure blood you will sink
Morbid visions warning you / The lower world will rise above
Await and hail his second death / We will drink to his last breath

At Our Master's Behest
03:58
|
|||
|
Into an abyss of metallic frenzy
Insanity alert, it ain’t no fucking fancy
Can’t you feel this is gonna hurt?
Souls cry out, tearing your hopes apart.
Red clouds of blood, be ready to sharp the knife
Slave to the power of death, tonight’s the night
Now do it, crave it, die at our master’s behest
Clench your fist, these riffs won’t leave you no rest
When Metal calls your name, feel the thunder in your veins
In the darkness you shall fall…
Don’t worry it’s your fate, wield the axe and pass the gate
To this world you don’t belong…
Restless and wild, wretched our dreams
Into another dimension our hunger will breed
A sense of belonging they’ll never, ever perceive
Accept this hell, at least you won’t be deceived…
When Metal calls your name, feel the thunder in your veins
In the darkness you shall fall…
Don’t worry it’s your fate, wield the axe and pass the gate
To this world you don’t belong…

As you walk the path of sin
Countless shadows crawl within
A slave of bats, of graves and dust
A thousand vices, unholy lust
Malicious… Seditious…
Like a cobra, you catch their eyes
Corrupt their souls with Satan’s might
All you can do is fuel their obsession
They beg for you, let’s start the ignition
Malicious thee, volcano of lies
Demonic she, like dangerous tides
Insane, deranged, inferno profound
Seditious now, forever unbound
Malicious… Seditious…
Drown!
J.J. Priestkiller spit on that cross!
World’s fate, ruled by copulation
A praying mantis, you hypnotize
Their filthy deeds, an endless damnation
With pain and torment you take their lives
Malicious…You catch their eyes
Seditious… You hypnotize

Regret Every Breath
01:04
|
|||
|
Born to die
Live to suffer
Disillusion
Obey your master
Regret every breath
Face your life
Built on fear
Shattered dreams
The end is near
Regret every breath

Die On Monday
03:02
|
|||
|
To die on Monday, that would be great,
I hate that day, it's dark and grey,
for my mind...
Ohhhh if I’m gonna die, I wanna die on Monday, let's celebrate
Ohhh if I’m gonna die, I wanna die on Monday, you won't debate
Those empty faces, stand next to me,
that's not my home, my soul is free
and I cry...
The highway road, the sun is high,
the wind it blows, the sky is bright,
it's all out there...
Ohhhh if I’m gonna die, I wanna die on Monday, let's celebrate
Ohhhh if I’m gonna die, I wanna die on Monday, I just can't wait
Work kills man, oi! oi! oi! oi!
It's 8 AM, a constant tension,
who are these people? Incomprehension.
And I scream...
Your witless babble, that silly shoes,
all your problems, won't pay my dues,
and I lose...
Ohhhh if I’m gonna die, I wanna die on Monday, let's celebrate
Ohhhh if I’m gonna die, I wanna die on Monday, now it's too late...

While people starve
they say there's a lack of faith
you keep on hoping in their heaven
as you die
Once again history is forgotten
welcome sweet lies
more churches than sharp minds
you'll realize that all this is...
Beyond... Beyond... The help of prayers
False idols rise
This dormancy will never end
A fucking cancer at birth
as holy water wets your skin
The worst offender of them all
has never existed
still hanging on your home's safe walls
knowing Satan is just well hidden
Beyond... Beyond...The help of prayers
Still millions of devotees,
thinking they're floating on safe seas...

about
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present BUNKER 66’s highly anticipated fourth album, Beyond the Help of Prayers, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Since 2007, Italy’s BUNKER 66 have been proudly (and prolifically) flying the flag of ‘80s metalpunk, all in the beloved power-trio format. Of course, the joint influence of Motörhead and Venom looms large, but equally so do homeland heroes Bulldozer, the UK’s Warfare, early Running Wild, early Bathory and Slayer, later Anti-Cimex, metal-era Gang Green, and any ‘80s recordings from Discharge and Exciter. With this robust and rust-covered foundation firmly in place, BUNKER 66 recorded a trio of cult albums for High Roller Records as well as a grip of splits with the likes of Italy’s Barbarian and Morbo, Brazil's Whipstriker, and most recently Scotland's Vuil. Simply put, they’re a cult band for cult fanatics – and we wouldn’t have it any other way!
Now, a couple years on from that last-mentioned split with Vuil comes BUNKER 66’s long-awaited fourth album, Beyond the Help of Prayers. The band’s first full-length in four years and second with the lineup of co-founders vocalist/bassist Damien Thorne and drummer Dee Dee Altar alongside ex-Schizo guitarist J.J. Priestkiller, Beyond the Help of Prayers is a refreshing blast of old air! Right from the opening, galloping minutes of “To the Gates of Death – Lair of the Profaner,” this is 666% BUNKER 66 through and through – all those above influences, all sliced and diced with the deft touch of devotees, but always brimming with a charisma that’s undeniable – and thereafter do the hits keep on coming. But, while one could say that Beyond the Help of Prayers is business as usual for the band (and we’d still love it), the album sees BUNKER 66 taking on subtly more epic touches, ones that feel almost swords & sorcery without being obvious about it, or perhaps the post-apocalyptic wasteland vibes of Dee Dee Altar’s time in Children of Technology played a significant role? Naturally, the trio keep their noses deep within their realms of the black here, and while they’re undoubtedly dirtier and more blasphemous than ever, BUNKER 66 arguably receive their best-sounding production on Beyond the Help of Prayers, which thankfully only maximizes their power that much more.
You can’t teach old dogs new tricks, and the same be said – STUNNINGLY – for BUNKER 66, for they’re Beyond the Help of Prayers!

Coagulating Darkness
by Hellrippersupported by 37 fans who also own “Bunker 66 - Beyond the Help of Prayers”
Pretty much the best Black/Speed Metal I've listened to since I learned about Evil Invaders and Vulture. Everything you'd love to be reminded of about this musical era is there. The influences are what you'd expect too: Motörhead, Venom, Bathory, early Slayer, Celtic Frost; aggressive vocals, tortured guitar solos, pounding drums; everything is fast, clear and still a little grimy, but without reverb cranked up to the max. Amazing band, amazing album.

Let There Be Witchery
by MIDNIGHTsupported by 30 fans who also own “Bunker 66 - Beyond the Help of Prayers”
I'm probably the only one who still regrets that they never pursued the stlye of songs like "Crushed By Demons" or "Before My Time in Hell" again - but my regret is alleviated by the fact that they can still write skull-splitting riffs that elevate you above the daily grind.
