My Misanthropic Kingdom
05:05
|
|||
|
See what's ahead of you
Huge walls of black steel rise
So high they darken the sky
The light seeks a way but in vain
Black flames burning
between bones & ashes
Sendenct to roam as an eternal victim
Through my misanthropic kingdom
There are ghosts and ominous things
shadows that haunting you till the end
No light, just black clouds rise up here
Nothing thrives in my realm, only death & fear

The Sound of Discipline
02:16
|
|||
|
Sky turns black
Visions of death
Demons ringing the bell
With the hammer from Hell
Masshysteri!!
All what you see
Black chaos rise
The devil set it free
World turns to dust
Panic is the law
People going insane!
This is the sound of Discipline
Killed by creatures
Merciless and loud
"He" rules the world now!
Murder, freak out!
World turns to rust
Peace is no more
Or have you seen?
This is the sound of Diszipline!

Hate Consumer
02:35
|
|||
|
Hate is my fuel
Im going outside with cruel
No-more emotions, no cure
never standing still
My mind is darker than the night
It's growing inside
Don't mess with me - or with the devil on my side
I'm the hate consumer
Riot terror chaos user
I'm the hate consumer
A self-destructive loser
My intentions are always evil
my thoughts are always dark
I can't change my mind
Fuck off the human kind
|

Skeleton and Ashes
03:12
|
|||
|
You want me to burn
in fire and flames
You want me on pyre
but I'll never die
skeleton in ashes, it burns tonight
Light up my corpse, with flames so bright
My blood starts to boil
my flesh turns blacK
The flames burning high
So high
skeleton in ashes, it burns tonight
Light up my corpse, with flames so bright
Something to burn, you can not change
You speak to me, I'm insane
Down the hill between the trees
I lay down in mud on my knees
Flames growing up, i look to the sky!
Burn out the life - my soul flying high

Nihilistik Reaction
02:17
|
|||
|
You think you're bigger and strong
But the darkness crawls along
Your life destroyed by hellhammer
Forever is nothing and nothing is save
You believe in a higher creation
Feel my Nihilistik reaction
Your religion is only a fiction
Ignorance in higher perfection
No gods will show you the way
no light that shines so bright away
Void rising and devours your dimension
Desolates you in millions of pieces

Winterlude
01:49
|
|||
7. |
||||
|
Blood red moon - shines so bright
Lurking shadows - in the night
Unspeakable terror - crawling and bloom
The horror is here - and bring the doom
Supirior Presence of Cruelty
Demons from the tomb, taking the last light
The beginning of the endless - fuckin night
No sun that shines - darkness will rise
Obsessed by evil - The void unfolds
Supirior Presence of Cruelty
The supirior presence of Cruelty
A Land of death - and rust you see
The merciless power - from mighty hell
Unleashed the force - from another world
|

On the Old Ropes
03:43
|
|||
|
It's a winter evening
Pale and cold like death himself
Days full of nothing, days like stray dogs
I hear the creak of old ropes, the old ropes
Vultures looking up my deadly eyes
It's hard to breathe, the light is gone
My wounded flesh attracts the flies
Bodys are hanging on the gallows, the gallows
Pray for the sinners pray for the whores
You will go down with the holy lords
My body gets heavier
My thoughts are falling into meaningless
The rope tightens and I leave with a smile
|
||||
9. |
A Violent Winter
03:58
|
|||
|
Dawn of cold blizzard night
Freezing moon will rise
The cold wind cuts your flesh
The sun will never shine
A Violent Winter
This is the Violent Winter
World in the grip of frost
The Summer loses his crown
Cold black years without end
The Winter claims his throne
A Violent Winter
This is the Violent Winter
So cold it freezes your soul
Transylvanian frost triumph!

about
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present KARLOFF’s highly anticipated debut album, The Appearing, on CD, music cassette and vinyl LP formats.
Hailing from Germany, KARLOFF formed in 2018 as a means for erstwhile Graveyard Ghoul member Tom Horrified to blow off some punk-oriented steam with a couple close comrades. Describing their sound as “raw obscure punk turns into blackness,” it didn’t take long for the band to record their first recording, Demo ’18, but it was the following Raw Nights mini-album a year later where KARLOFF kicked into high gear. Released to widespread acclaim by DYING VICTIMS with the preceding demo tracks tacked on, Raw Nights strutted with sleazy confidence and an infectious sense of bash/crash/slash that struck deep into the heart of what makes the best of both punk and metal. But, the best was still come from KARLOFF…
At last, it arrives with their long-awaited debut album, The Appearing. If KARLOFF’s previous two short-lengths presented them as a more gutter-level Midnight, then The Appearing recasts the band in a totally new, altogether more unique light – and one that’s still brimming with that ever-special twist of olde-worlde evil. Rich and robust and ripplingly muscular, The Appearing struts like a cheetah with a heart full of napalm and flexes like nobody’s business. In fact, the lead-heavy stomp here harkens to ancient-days metalpunk like Carnivore, Best Wishes-era Cro-Mags, or even early Nasty Savage; equally, one could also point to the more modern likes of Iron Age, Shitfucker, and The Rival Mob. However, the creepiness KARLOFF hinted at earlier reaches a fever pitch across the tastefully-applied chorus FX, a subtle nod to post-punk that ably broadens the band’s reach without sacrificing their vision. More than all that, it’s the songwriting of The Appearing which renders it an intensely re-playable record: exciting, invigorating, and skillfully finding that balance between the seemingly epic and the swiftly concise.
Ghouls and ghosts, thugs and thieves: KARLOFF are calling upon you to witness The Appearing!

Let There Be Witchery
by MIDNIGHTsupported by 38 fans who also own “Karloff - The Appearing”
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.

Pain Is Forever and This Is the End
by MANTARsupported by 36 fans who also own “Karloff - The Appearing”
I love Mantar. Theirs is one of the most impressive live performances I have ever seen: primitive, sweaty and more energetic than most coal power stations. Having such a beloved artist release a new album is always a bit scary, especially after three very strong offerings in a row. Still, Mantar remain untouchable and return with their most accessible (read: 'still kicking you in the balls until your teeth pop out') release so far. Odysseus might be their best song yet. The kings are back.

The atmosphere of this album is fantastic. Makes you feel like you're knee-deep in the trenches drenched in mud, filth, sweat, and blood. Truly encapsulates the horrors of World War I, and the fact that the lyrics of some of the songs are taken from old war letters really adds to the authenticity. Favorite Track(s): Die Feuertaufe, Grabenlieder

The band's debut is full of whiskey-burned growls and maniacal high shrieks, not surprising for a group of Detroit metal vets.

I discovered them last night at Danzig 35th show in Dallas, it was a great live experience and they are proof that originality in this music world is still possible, I'm a new fan, they are the next great thing.
