1.
A celibacy cover-up To remain pure within their guise You gather at the chapel Where your tears stream and eyes gone dry From a figure so sly with arms wide open A truth not told, a secret not spoken Vicars bastards sin after sin Piled up bodies in the shadow of the crucifix Hallowed grounds, loose soil, salted earth around its walls Sons and daughters in an unmarked grave Lust for the man in black, and defiance of your faith Faint cries below your feet, the dirt shifts as the children crawl No one dare speak that they’ve fucked a man of God They’ll call it immaculate conception and throw it in the yard
2.
Considered to be golden A child of no concern Looking for an outlet of your aggression In search of that song to be heard Hair stands on end from a dissonant hymn Touched of power and your future opens wide Taken down from your pedestal Now considered the antichrist Demonic embrace, Leather bound Looks of disgust in your surrounds Satanic Panic Outcast, Displace Your passion they scorn A righteous attack Protesting morals Elders praying it’s just a phase An that you’ll see the light And break these chains!
3.
The hunter! The hunted! Enter the lion’s den Flush the ghosts of sacred land Wielding steal to maim and kill Into the fray Your sanity decays A green inferno That’ll you astray Disorientation, jungle consumes Claustrophobia, closing in on you A gruesome display Bones pave the way Brought to the boil The cauldron awaits Ambushed disarmed, Bound legs and arms Strung up and bled, Butchered and fed Bleeding from mouth to the soil The full circle
4.
The people have spoken it’s an eye for an eye The ultimate price you’ll pay Huddled in masses, in the city streets Blood thirst on a summers day A guillotine hangs high, for this sadistic show Raped and tortured Garrotte and bruised Haunting sight burnt into the eyes of two You take her corpse to the moor at night There she’ll lay, out of mind and out of sight Now you’re sentenced to die! Roaring cheer in your final moments Your death put on display Drop of the blade, A severed head A split second is all it’ll be Slice through its victims, may your head roll
5.
The Reaper 02:46
Your dying breath has led me here Eyes of horror piercing through In fear of what is, and what’s to come, time shall tell For you shall see the dark, before you see the light Take my hand, submit your soul For there’s nothing left for you here Except oblivion, Eternal unrest Apparition for endless year Reaching grasp, in a fit of panic Cower to the shadow as it creeps Prepare the ritual, slice the flesh Masochistic pleasure as your weep For I am the end The reaper The angel of death that has been cast down to you For I am the end The reaper I hold the key between life and death what will you choose? Tearing to ecstasy The sprit expels Will the pit or the heavens Heed your name
6.
Fresh Meat on Hooks Wheeled out by the butchers Behind the walls vultures circle the offerings Fighting for Survival A free for all Scattered remains left behind, The machine begins to cease It squeals for meat, Malefactors form a line, Cast into the grinder, So they can feed Cannibalistic Terror As they scurry through the guts Holding on to what they need As their licking up the blood The weak stand outside the fray Nothing but skin and bone Sick and lifeless creatures To be an offering to then all Nothing left to waste An every loss a gain Their stripped until erased The taste of life returns Nothing left to waste
7.
Decay 03:06
The king of this day Decay Reached your limitations There’s no going back No, No room to move Is this it? Are you not fulfilled? Look out, for recognition Before your time is up For soon you’ll fade away, and decay! The illusion of appeasement Reality, devoid Detached from this world Burn your bridges and shut us out Dragging your knuckles, rings spark the stone A name of no value, a memory not shown Sinking to this abyss An egomaniac we’d hate to miss Stepping on heads to get where you are Wretches to riches Scum to scum Crown corrosion where these halls gone dark King of this day Decay
8.
Intruders of tranquillity Their cross held high Crusaders from the unknown Birthed from fire Unaware of your self destruction We don’t need your god, no slaves, no masters Deliver us all from evil Bloody tomes with poison text That plagued the world as you worship death Deliver us all from evil Nails from Christ to casket a spurn of sovereignty Sentinels arise! Dust to dust, End of lies Blind Ignorance caused your demise Martyrs scream that turn to silence There’s not a glimmer of hope An your beliefs are the end result No faith will extinguish A scorched earth Apostles will immolate Leaving no stone unturned A taste of your self destruction It’s a testament to, our end, your rapture
9.
Mass Grave 03:10
Engulfed in the torture of a man made hell Corpses fill the trenches Black smoke and putrid smell Flayed by fire Scorched to the bone Death from above The dead lay below In this Mass Grave Screams of pain Skulls shatter Like panes of glass Liquidation Into puddles of puss Choke on the gases From the burning heap Watch them all struggle Struggle to breath Toxic rot Flame fuel nausea The carrion flock To feast on the valley of death Stripping flesh from these victims of war Fading away those who fall
10.
Eating me like a parasite Draining day by day Will I return to normality? Or will I always be this way? Struggle to move or speak Crippling chaos within Internal Torment Think about death Resolve the hell A burden, a pest No farewells My minds running around in circles Talking to myself Alone in the dark A tunnel with no end Reflection through cracked mirror A sign of my ills I’ll face my demons And this void to fill It’s grip holds tight Turns my head around This internal torment Where my life is bound

about

DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the highly anticipated debut album of Australia’s REAPER, Viridian Inferno, on CD and vinyl LP formats.

Hailing from the wildlands of Melbourne comes REAPER, four speed-freaks hellbent on exhuming the first-wave graves of the masters in primitive metal, punk, and thrash: Celtic Frost/Hellhammer, Bathory, Discharge, Venom, Warfare, and Sacrilege.

Since the release of their sold-out self-titled demo in 2017 and subsequent LP reissue in 2019, REAPER have kept up an almost-relentless show schedule, including many Australian, New Zealand, and festival appearances, as well as support slots for Aura Noir, Mortiis, Blasphemy, Dark Funeral, Vomitor, Immolation, and more, with an upcoming European attack currently in the works…

In the meantime, REAPER make their full-length debut with Viridian Inferno, under the auspices of DYING VICTIMS. No change and no compromise, and definitely no quarter: Viridian Inferno contains ten savage tracks of their hyper-aggressive hybrid of ‘80s hellhammering speedmetalpunk. Possessed by their REAPER’s debut demo? Then Viridian Inferno is gonna absolutely crush you with its megaton-heavy grime. New to the ways of these post-apocalyptic road warriors? Hop aboard their wasteland rover, hold onto the gun-mount, and pray no massive spikes impale you aboard the ride…

Beware the nightmare’s sound! There’s no escape from the REAPER: Viridian Inferno is coming for outsider minds, headbangers, and metal maniacs of the apocalypse! The ultimate price you’ll pay, and your bones will pave the way….
