The Filth Within!

What’s This Thing Remained Here
As Gods Are Placed Aside
Is It Just An Object
It Passes On New Sight
Your Pledge Is Thrown In Darkness
Burning It Arrives
This Piece Of Art Has Feared Us
Seems To Crystallize
1,000 Years As A Rite
Enthroned By The Weak
Its Power Mesmerizes
Injected To The Meek
Knowing What’s An Art Form
Intrepid Body Pool
High Priest Plays Recession
Know As Skull Of Doom
Soaring Through,
Across The Heavens
Burning It Arrives
An Unknown Source
From An Unknown Time
Behold !

Now Freeze It To Capture Your Move
The Shot Reels In, It Closes On You
A Blank Ink Pad Deciding The Frame
The Plot Thickens Your Act Is In Pain
Self Fright Of Make Believe
You Paint A Picture Of Reality
It’s So Moving, So Forceful In Sight
The Masquerade Reels You Into The Night
Cast The Light
And Form The Shadow
We’ll Make A Scene
And Watch You Scream
Play The Part Of A Helpless Victim
But Save Your Skin From Tomorrow
Although The Act Is Make Believe You’ll Die..
Got you now
To play your part
The picture runs
Will strike you down
Knowing what’s to be with thee
Is the least bit of their sorrow
Although The Act Is Make Believe You’ll Die..
Got You Now!
Got You Now!
Got You Now!
Got You Now!
Got You Now…!

Fight! Die!
Horrow The Sow, Soldiers Of A Death Fortune
The Message Plays, Your Timed In Days
And Bollix The Ground Below
Kill! Kill!
Pave The Way, Some Of You May Reach The Nike
A Barren Waste, Dissensions Cased
Banish! The Western Plains
Your Fears’ Ascending
Beware Its Rise
Fierceness Preponderates
No Penitence To Its Rise
Rise Until Dawn
Six Leagues In Hell
Banish The Plains
Your Fears Ascending
Beware Its Rise
Fierceness Preponderates
No Penitence To Its Rise . . . Sunrise!
Nothing Can Stand In Its Way
Nothing As Bright
Cursing Its Rise!
Death In Natures Own Way,
The Dawn!
Striking You Down All The More
Upon Disbelief
Die By The Sword!
Death In A Black Veil Of Mourn
Sunrise!

A Doctors Call Will Bring You Down
Then They Converse
Upon The Table They’ve Drawn The Sight
To Answer Your Death
No Call For A Scream, It’s Too Late To Cry
You’ve Already Died
The Scissors!
The Scalpel!
Respond!
Respond!
Now! Time Is Near
Fortunes Thought Of Today
It’s All In Vain, The Knife
You’d Heave A Sigh But You’re Not Alive
Your Flesh Examined By All
The Call, It’s Time
Trace The Skin
Draw The Line
Sharpen The Tool And It Cuts!
Autopsy Begun
First Drain Your Blood
Post Mortem To Answer Your Death
No Legal Proof
No Shroud To Hide
No Need For Your Own Consent
Just Curl Up And Die
A Witness To Sign
Approve The Day Of Your Death
So Now It Is
Your Words Are Missed
Dead, You Can’t
Respond!
Respond!

Thirteen Years He’s Waited
And Thirteen Years He’ll Rule
Over His Subjects
The Chief Judge Of The Day
No Limit To His Law
You’re His Slave
Riches With Power
He’s The Eyes And The Ears Of The King
He Arrives At His Possession To Collect What’s
Been Ordered To His Name
The Satrap!
So Will Provide
The Life Blood Of The Day
A Harvest In The Sand
Dreams Have Long Gone
Beylik Of Afar
Figures Of Scenes; Dillusions Past The Mode
Times Of Sigh, Destined A Name In Its Right
Sold, A Resale
Captures A Scene That At Once We Had Thought It Would Die
Consign; Or Provide
Your Life, Owed To Me, It’s The Way
Mark Of An Esbat Rising To His Bezant
False Life To Your Quota
The Seeds Are Planted Spawn To Power The Heir
Consign; Or Provide
Your Life, Owed To Me,
It’s The Way

Empire’s Opposed
Transgression To Sin
Now It’s Time For You To Decide
Forced Bill Embanks The Change
The Hood Turns To Veil
Now It’s Time For You To Decide

about
RELICS FROM THE CRYPT, the sub-label of DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS dedicated to keeping the past alive, is proud to present a long-overdue vinyl reissue of the cult lone album of Australia’s RAMPAGE, Veil of Mourn. A CD version will also be released, containing the band’s demos.
While there have been many Rampages past and present, there was only one RAMPAGE from Australia – and a more cult band you will not find. Formed in 1985, the band went through several lineup changes before recording their debut demo, Acid Storm, in July 1986. Recorded on a home 4-track, the demo sold well in their native Melbourne but failed to gain any interest. More lineup changes followed the next year, with a pre-production demo recorded as a prelude to their album, but once again, RAMPAGE failed to generate any record company interest. Then, in late 1987, the band recorded, produced, and financed their debut album, Veil of Mourn, which was more-or-less self-released in early 1988. Extensive touring across Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide, Canberra, and Brisbane followed. Likewise, excellent record sales locally and overseas followed, but no interest from international record companies came. In May 1988, vocalist/guitarist George Mitrov rang bassist Dave Frew and advised that he had found God and would no longer have anything to do with the band; cancellation of all gigs followed. Then, later that year, Frew (who had formed Tyrus with Peter Hobbs) and drummer Bruno Canzianni join Hobbs Angel of Death, and RAMPAGE effectively came to an end.
However, as a lone document of a band and era, RAMPAGE’s Veil of Mourn is superlative in every sense. There’s a distinct ruggedness to the band’s ceaselessly shifting style of thrash. Mind you, NOT necessarily “rawness” – although the album’s production certainly tends toward the rough – but RAMPAGE’s execution eschews the super-clean sharpness that thrash metal was largely heading toward in the post-Master of Puppets era. With form meeting content, the power-trio’s songwriting similarly takes all sorts of labyrinthine paths short of being qualified as “tech,” racing around and restarting with sometimes-maddening fury. Hooks thankfully abounded, and RAMPAGE’s attack undeniably possessed a death metalled underbelly not unlike Dark Angel or aforementioned Oz cult icons Hobbs Angel of Death. With that songwriting often reaching a fever pitch of diabolism and all three members barely keeping that fury in check, Veil of Mourn becomes a palpitating experience, a veritable ‘80s horror movie turned into a thrash record. The creepy cover art only heightened this sensation.
As years passed, the aura around Veil of Mourn only grew, helped in part by Australia’s ever-growing prominence in the extreme metal landscape. RAMPAGE thus became an etched-in-time “what could have been?” cult band, who respectably preserved their legacy with a mere album. Connect the dots to “the Australian sound” with this LONG-overdue reissue!

Coagulating Darkness
by Hellrippersupported by 79 fans who also own “Rampage - Veil of Mourn”
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.
