1.	From Cosmos To Chaos 04:14	lyrics	buy track
Disintegration Crumble into Dust Inner Conflagration Scorched to the fuckin ground Consumed by flames in hell Burn in fucking Hell Total Renunciation Apocalyptic Dream Forebodings of Madness with longings for Anonymity Freed from the laws of gravity the feeling of dreamy reality Dragged into the vortex of initial chaos Apocalypse upside down Retracing our way back from cosmos to chaos Let this world burn to the ground
2.	The Cult Of Infinity 03:31	lyrics	buy track
Shaking and trembling the world is spinning at infernally maddening speed Doomsday approaching Unable to grasp the meaning of infinity Dive into boundlessness Lost all our hopes Cosmic Barbarity Out of this Whirlwind Gradual Extinction But sustain our agony Enter the darkness, Behold! Mute like the Death´s Funeral The Suns have gone down in the West Unburied, Unremembered, Unconfessed Infinite Desire Skies on Fire Helpless with nowhere to run Flashing beneath me I turned the Path Further away from the Sun The Plains are covered with dead Bloodbath all over my head Contemplate eternally The Quest of Mortality Boundless in the loneliness of dead Maddening Vertiginous feeling of the end Strong words that bind Death to mankind No word that living may hear Even as Sea Dead fishes be Tremble and visibly fear Evil words kisses of Sin Immense dark Profundity Spirits that roam in the night Take me away from the light
3.	Before The Altar Of Famine And Desire 03:16	lyrics	buy track
Thickening blood upon the altar steps Burning lust and desire Gathering curses from the darkest cave Hear the calling corruption from the grave Divided in its single spell From God's hands to the abyss of Hell The dreadful perverse design of Fate Made to choke man´s spirit in its shade The night is monstrous in this flickering fire The old shapes of hate Mighty demons claw and tear and bite Misshapen, misbegotten, out of spite Before the Altar of Famine and Desire Burning in the Sacrificial Fire Lazy Gaze, Half mournful, Half Blithe Passion, Death, Desire for the Scythe
4.	Visions Of Death 04:02	lyrics	buy track
True agony occurs when you pass into nothingness through death A feeling of weariness consumes you And death wins There´s nothing imaginary in this Turmoil An incurable sickness with torments intermittently Decomposition and Ruin Visions of Death Life´s beastliness trampled me under the foot and clipped my wings in full flight Demonic charm I adopted to gain an aura in the future Inner rebirth Beastly Brutality Visions of Death Purification
5.	Enemies Of The Sun 03:15	lyrics	buy track
We have sustained nightmares for nights without end Fingernails furrowing the flesh Consolations of a spectacle of blood The Earth no longer supports us Follow a path of solitude The Shadow within and below us Enemies of the Sun Above still remains all we wanted to be The Abyss summons us and we lend an ear Enemies of the Sun Thirst for a Black Halo God beneath our heels Fear of the Void Enemies of the Sun
6.	Dissolving Into God 04:45	lyrics	buy track
Scrupulous mind of its distinct essence Threatened at every turn by the things it rejects Abandoning attention A mind yields to the temptations it has sought to escape or becomes the prey of impure mysteries Dissolving into God Camouflaged Beast of Prey Nothing leads anywhere Immediate annihilation of our unconsoled pride Scaffolds in the shadow of our Faith Degenerates entertained by Massacres
7.	The Art Of Putrescence 03:34	lyrics	buy track
I have given up future and philosophy Owning merely a cot on which to unlearn the sun and signs Stretched out there, spin out the hours Objects with suggest suicide The nail whispers: stick me through your heart The blade of the knife is infallible The window opens on its own accord Share the city's height with the poor In the wink of an eye you will land On the pavement with the meaninglessness of life in your grasp And a rope coils around your neck I´ve been waiting for you forever Your terrors, your sorrows, your fears The blasphemies with which you gratified the gods An escape to your Despair The Pleasantry, a dagger under a smile The Gaiety which gives mortal blows The Art of Putrescence an Apprenticeship to abandon We divagate in a salutary darkness to lead to an act of annihilation we long for a vogue of retreats in an eternity without Faith
8.	Resources Of Self Destruction 03:43	lyrics	buy track
A share of purity corrupted by our commerce with mankind by that sin against solitude Our kind is not a fatality but a temptation to fail craving for disgust and fervent for pestilence We win a victory over nothing over nothingness We die in proportion to the words which we fling around Resources of Self Destruction Filthy Fragility at the Core of Nothingness Irrational Explanation Tips the scale of our Fate Falling Civilisation Death opens the Gates of Hell
9.	Physiognomy Of Failure 03:28	lyrics	buy track
Monstrous dreams inhabit churches The merest desire conceals insanity Unable to attain the lucidities of death I will no longer to be Thought I could crush space with a blow of my fist Life is a miracle bitterness destroys Wield time according to my whim I gave myself to a suspect infinity The interval separating me from my corpse is a wound Yet I aspire the seductions of the Grave The worms will be out of work when they get to my instincts I dream of another life, I dream of another death Forever be cursed the star under which I was born May no sky protect it Let the traitorous moment that cast god among the creatures be forever erased from the lists of time Dead to the World
10.	The Path To Perdition 03:59	lyrics	buy track
Idolaters by instinct we convert the objects of our dreams into the unconditional Temples raised to pretexts Degradation of the mind before the improbable Lost faculty of indifference Becoming a potential murderer In every mystic outburst the moans of victims parallel the moans of ecstasy in the shadow of faith the need to believe which has infested the mind forever Degenerate dreamers entertained by massacres Promethean Megalomania of a race that explodes with its convictions forsaken doubt and sloth the Path to Perdition Exploding with convictions Forsaken doubt and sloth The Path to Perdition Contaminates your Soul

about

DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the highly anticipated fifth album of Germany’s LUCIFUGE, Monoliths of Wrath, on CD and vinyl LP formats.

Since 2016, Germany’s have been steadily perfect an addicting style of blackened speed metalpunk, all guided by the iron fist of mainman Equinox. Come 2021’s fourth full-length Infernal Power, Equinox expanded LUCIFUGE to a full lineup, and it paid off in spades: the band’s first album under the banner of DYING VICTIMS capped this signature sound with power and applomb, exuding a new professionalism that somehow sounded dirtier than ever.

And as forecasted last year by their short ‘n’ sweet split with Italian comrades BUNKER 66, LUCIFUGE continue to spit-shine that sound with Monoliths of Wrath. Immediately upon pressing “play” on this fifth full-length, it becomes clear that Equinox and crew are taking their sound in a newer but no-less-parallel direction. Unapologetically more technical than their more idiomatic “metalpunk” past, LUCIFUGE’s latest LP is not lacking for speed – in fact, it’s FASTER – but this much-more-directly thrash-oriented record takes sonic cues from classic Sodom, Kreator, Exodus, and of course Slayer. Thankfully, we’re still entrenched in the ‘80s here, but more accurately 1987 rather than 1984. Likewise, the evil, blasphemic, and anti-religious themes are retained throughout the whole record, but Monoliths of Wrath sees LUCIFUGE integrating some almost-atmospheric black metal passages in between. So, while it definitely follows from the aforementioned full-length and split, Monoliths of Wrath involves much more complex song structures overall, which are given maximum power through the production: full-bodied and “pro” but hardly soft, LUCIFUGE’s first foray into a proper recording studio (rather than the practice room) makes a huge difference in highlighting their new dynamics and tempo variation. Oh, and did we mention the BREAKDOWNS? Seriously, this is a timewarp to ‘87, in the best possible way!

So, a blast from the past, but diffently: LUCIFUGE have truly nailed their own sound and direction with Monoliths of Wrath.

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. Sojourner

If you told me this was Nekromantheon I wouldn't know the difference. That's not a knock on this either, I love Nekromantheon and this is pretty masterful black thrash for sure. grahamy
