1.
Satanas, empowered by fire Lust and demise they forge his throne. Bleakness sets the boundaries of light as I stand at the gates of the unknown. Through eternal flames, Hades awaits. I’m driven by the filthiest Horses of Hell The yell of the damned, screaming my name DIABOLUS I’m going down, but standing tall I’m on my Triumphal March To Hell I feel the flames, burning my veins I’m on my Triumphal March To Hell. Vast domain, gathering of liars Hope succumbs to the deceiver Lord. No way out, dread intensifies While I keep drowning into netherworld
2.
Wandering through the deepest regions of the unknown, a faint mist numbs my mind. Space and time seem to fade in front of my eyes As I crawl for my last chance to survive. There is no blood to satisfy my vicious thirst, my timeless wrath. 'Cause I'm a prisoner of the night. No one can save my soul tonight, I am slaved by moonlight ‘Cause I’m a prisoner of the night. Hypnotized, beyond the limits of mankind, Haunted by the light Darkness now: reveal yourself, show me a sign To spread my black wings one last time. Wicked moon starts to rise, I’m lifting from the ground. I have no alibi. Dreadful sighs come alive, terrors from the past. I’m trapped in this eternal flight.
3.
Blackfire 04:24
At the fields of oblivion they stand. Soulless figures, marauders on hold Gathered around the unholy fires To restore a kingdom of lies Fumes arise from the ancient pyre Mental voidness, staring in awe The premise shall resound in the skies: Resurrect The Lord of the flies Sacrifice lights their morbid drive Blades held high, sing the secular chant: Oh Blackfire Now the legions take over the land Led by master, the lord at his prime. Seeking for the eternal lust And submit the entire mankind. Hear the virgin crying to survive. Threatened by shadows at night Darklight flashes its vicious side As the Eternal places his crown. Oh Blackfire Immortal tonight Oh Blackfire a king for the damned. Oh Blackfire Immortal tonight Oh Blackfire a king for the ungodly damned.
4.
Out in the night heat increases, darkness will rise. Surrounded by fear, an obscure vision paralyzes your heart. The streets are burning and there's nowhere to hide. The bell starts tolling in the absence of light. The Devil ascends tonight. Figure in black, morbid creature The rite has begun. Burning your spine Diabolic whiplash Prepare to die. The streets are burning and there's nowhere to hide. Reach out and touch it: is the Satanic Hand.
5.
Phoenix 05:44
Visions numb the mind. Perception compromised. Ashes all around. Stillness fill the air Freezing deep inside Solitude intensifies. An inner power leads the ascension The spirit won't be killed by hatred. Rise and reign the skies, you're a phoenix at heart. Fire and force collide at this eternal fight. Dreams deceive your sight Figures fade and fall Decline the despair’s call Ephimeral relax Vigilia state of mind Melancholy intensifies.
6.
Driven by forces so far unknown Inner feelings that never arose Caught me burning but it’s a cold sweat I can’t help falling into despair. She unfolds all her might Passion-driven thoughts arise Cold embrace appears disguised as fire She won’t stop until the light come out When the night falls down Flesh reveals the demon’s lust Mesmerized by desire Heat increases, conscience falls Chained by her enchants, Succubus of Doom. Pleasure rots every part of my soul. Can’t tell reality from wicked gloom. Kiss of death never felt so secure.
7.
Dirge 02:44
8.
Death 04:13
All known existence is coming suddenly to its end. An age of terror is landing, it's here to stay. The once praised knowledge kneels before ignorance. Embrace the New World order and start to pray. All lies reveal and fears turn into flesh. Behold the rats of disgrace Spreading like the plague. Death Mankind lies inert before its Death. Now hordes begin their march from the gates of hell. They are turning cities into graveyards of decay. Obscured by violence, hope won't ever shine again. As the black flag of hate waves over their heads.

about

DYING VICTMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present RAPTORE’s highly anticipated second album, Blackfire, on CD and vinyl LP formats.

Formed in late 2012 by vocalist/guitarist Nico Cattoni, RAPTORE originally hailed from Buenos Aires, Argentina and released their first demo in 2014. In 2016, they released their debut album, Rage N’ Fever, which allowed them to tour South America and open for such bands as Exciter and Enforcer.

Not being able to find suitable musicians for a steady lineup, in 2018, Nico decides to move to Europe in order to give RAPTORE better opportunities and recognition. He set base in Barcelona and completed the lineup with three of the most talented musicians in the scene. One year later, they released the single “Prisoner Of The Night” through Church Recordings and were booked for festivals such as Pyrenean and Trveheim. Unfortunately, the pandemic delayed those concerts until 2022.

Nevertheless, the fortified RAPTORE lineup began work during 2021 on their second album, Blackfire, entering the esteemed Moontower Studios. Immediately, right from the very first notes, Blackfire EXPLODES with an excitement that simply cannot be contained. Righteously ripping, draped in darkness but lined with purple velvet, RAPTORE here give a masterclass in spooky speed metal: fierce yet fun, authentically rooted in the ‘80s but not blinkered by the past, and above all ADDICTING. That the quartet can maintain a bristling energy no matter the pace – cruising, headbanging, or overdrive – is some sort of black magick; that each track is anthemic in its own right and then altogether coalesce into a unified statement of intent is simply diabolical. But, while Blackfire is most definitely the band’s darkest and fastest recording to date, let it be known that not everything is of a Satanic/vampiric/demonic intent; just as many personal messages exist within the album’s eight-song/32-minute runtime. Which is all to say nothing of the evocative lead-work, which is literal FIRE!

Featuring an absolutely stellar mix & master courtesy of Javi Félez, Blackfire firmly establishes RAPTORE as worldwide contenders. From past to present – from Helstar, Liege Lord, and Chastain to Enforcer, Skull Fist, and White Wizzard – prepare to get BURNED!
