1.	Night Shadows 03:48	lyrics	buy track
You won't see them coming They hide in the strident noise of days Sometimes they come like thunder The calm of darkness, opens the way Ghosts in my head, the past is close Here they come again, I feel the touch Black petals fall, trapped in the spell Please come again Night Shadows! The toll of the bell is a warning One step closer to end of days Sometimes I dream of returning To the calm of darkness, end of maze Ghosts in my head, the past is close Here they come again, I feel the touch Black petals fall, trapped in the spell Please come again Night Shadows! A touch in my hand, the past is close Coming again through the walls Green eyes appear, the smell of a rose Night Shadows come! Shadows, Shadows, Shadows, Shadows, Shadows,Shadows A little drop of venom Beautiful poison nightshade Memories returning Tonight she will come and stay Ghosts in my head, the past is close Here they come again, I feel the touch Black petals fall, trapped in the spell Please come again Night Shadows, Night Shadows, Nightshadows.
2.	Around The World 04:54	lyrics	buy track
Like a wild one, I will ride against the wind And from now on, a new life for me beggins Sometimes I swing to the left, then I’ll go the right, just to find where is the truth No time to look back, no room to look down, I won't listen to more fools (Rock or Die) On the highway, and I ride and ride and I ride (Rock or Die) On my own way, I Rock Around the world (We Rock) Around the world Shooting higher, I will do what is meant to be Made of lightning, all the stars are setting me free And if it all is test, I’ll pass it twice, the universe embraces me Calculating the steps, rolling the dice, I’m not afraid to ride the beast (Rock or Die) On the highway, I will ride, I will ride, I will ride (Rock or Die) On my own way, I Rock Around the world (We Rock) Around the world On the highway, and I ride and ride and I ride On my own way, I Rock Around the world (We Rock) Around the world Around the world (We Rock) Around the world On the highway Around the World On my own way I Rock the world
3.	Under The Southern Light 05:13	lyrics	buy track
How many times do we have to die? To touch the heavens I Look up, the sun is high It tastes like desert The dream is close, but I can't grasp In darkness, you must be light To feed the children Can’t look up, cause I’m falling down Into the void of never I can't stop running, pointing forward to the sky Touching the trails of shooting stars Oh is it worth it, to dream and then to die? Under the fate of the Southern Light I’ll be there, where the shadows lie On blackened feathers Under the faith of the Southern Light, Praying for an angel I can't stop running, pointing forward into the sky Touching the trails of shooting stars Oh is it worth it, to dream and then to die? Under the Fate Under the Faith We are the sons of the Southern Light! Sometimes demons try to pull me down But I’m used to sail under the shadows Keeping the flame high is hard, when there’s so much light Ignite my soul, set the seas on fire. Yeah The Southern Light See how we shine I’m on my way When the night begins to fall When the skies begin to call I’m the light that no one saw Of course it's worth it, to dream and then to die When the soul is big, and you’re a son of the southern light
4.	Battle Dogs 04:30	lyrics	buy track
Here we are, puppets without heads Bodies without souls Freezing cold, drowned in the mud We’re dying for their sins! We fight each others, killing our brothers, Burying our future destiny No life or another, one shot at glory, To be forgotten history NO! We came for nothing, that's what we do Forsaken Hell, for me and you They care for nothing, that's what they do We’re Battle Dogs, and that's the truth They play as God, and just like little pawns We’re paying for their sins We march forward, burning all the lands we pass by, Into a future misery Left in this hell hole, condemned to live with blood in our hands, No saints can heal our shivery We came for nothing, that's what we do Forsaken Hell, for me and you They care for nothing, that's what they do We’re Battle Dogs, and that's the truth Battle Dogs Bare battle dogs Battle Dogs Just battle dogs We’re heroes of the rising sun, but the light won't ever come. The books will judge what god seems to forget, We’re flesh and meat, bare bones and greed, Battle dogs condemned to defeat.
5.	Ritual Blade 03:21	lyrics	buy track
A trail of blood, a full moon sky Hell awaits, as the ritual starts Blessed by darkness, the sacred bride An ancient blade tears deep the night The candles, the dust, the crypts and the marks Her heart beating faster, there’s eyes in the dark A figure starts walking, symbol of God A cry for mercy echoes on the walls The nightmare is real (Look out) Ritual Blade (Look out) Sinners will pay Seven serpents, black flames on the ground Tears turn into curses, there’s no way around An evil smile, a sharpened knife Blood starts to drop, evil magic rite The last sacrifice (Look out) Ritual Blade (Look out) Sinners will pay No escape From the Ritual Blade!

7.	Knights Of Leather 05:20	lyrics	buy track
So many lonely lonely nights, no crowns no thrones So many holy holy dives, into the darkest holes Into the noise of neons lights My soul was left to demon bites From boiling darkness, burning chains I came from the night! Yeah! And from a million clouds of stardust I was born to play the game Spitting fire like a dragon Burning hearts, feeding my flame Cutting like a razor blade we rise Knights of Leather Riding overseas and margins A firestorm opens the way Hunting giants and their magics Old gods for me to tame And from a million clouds of thunder I was born to blaze a trail There’s no power that can stop me I was born to write my fate Descending like a golden lightning strike. Knights of Leather The Leather Hell! Although they have passed through the darkest valleys Their tragedy remain their greatest feat And with their hearts full And destiny by their side The Knights shall rise Knights of Leather
8.	Going Back Home 04:18	lyrics	buy track
And after all these days on the run I’m not sure where I belong Another place I left behind Another chance to touch the sky Sometimes is hard to survive Sometimes I feel I never gonna die The road is passing through my window As the the sun is setting down for the show Keep on Screaming Fire on the road Going back home Another night, another song Going back home I love you all but i go to go Going back home I don't care cause i'm going back home After miles singing the same old songs My head is aching, hangover strong I wonder how are the ones that I love I pray the universe keep eyes from above. Time flies, so hurry up. Let's get ready, it's almost time to the show. Too many friends that come and go. My heart beats to the ones back at home Keep on Sailing Eyes on the road Going back home One more night, one more song Going back home I left my soul and my heart on the road Going back home One more night, one more song Going back home I don't care cause i'm going back home
9.	They Are Falling 04:16	lyrics	buy track
Sirens ringing Death is screaming World is upside down Looking into the eyes of Hell, bombs are falling, shots and shells Fire angels fall Shall we fear it? Shall we hope it? The darkness of a shelter Children crying, dreams are stolen Souls are dying, fields are burning Fire angels fall. They’re falling, they’re falling, they’re falling down They’re falling, they’re falling, they're falling down. Flying shrapnels Hopeless fear Another angel down We hear them falling, tears and sweat, we’re lock down under, but no regret Fire angels fall They’re falling, they’re falling, they’re falling down They’re falling, they’re falling, they’re falling down
10.	Filhos Do Metal 04:04	lyrics	buy track
Como os ratos da noite, Um de nós, cada esquina, Procurados pela lei, Cabeça a prémio na vila Porque somos filhos do metal! Não temos papas na língua, Ninguém nos há-de calar! A vossa hora chegou! Temos ordens p'ra matar! Porque somos filhos... Porque somos filhos... Porque somos filhos do metal! Não temos medo a ninguém Que venha o papa ou o presidente Que grande festa vai ser, Vamos linchar muita gente! Porque somos filhos... Porque somos filhos... Porque somos filhos do metal! Ao metralhar das guitarras Marchamos sobre a cidade! Reduziremos a "metais" "Melões" de qualquer idade! Porque somos... Porque somos... Porque somos filhos do metal!

about

DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present TOXIKULL’s highly anticipated third album, Under the Southern Light, on CD and vinyl LP formats.

Born and raised under the hot & blinding southern light of Portugal’s capital Lisbon, TOXIKULL took off in 2016 and have backed down since: a tumult from the Atlantic, rising to take the world by storm. With two full-lengths, an EP, and a collection of singles, full of incredible guestsfrom bands such as Skull Fist and Crystal Viper under their belts, TOXIKULL’s taunting, fearless attitude has conquered the European heavy metal underground. Now, after speedmetal-intensive Cursed and Punished in 2019 (which DYING VICTIMS later released on vinyl), they now shift gears with Under the Southern Light, present amore mature, melodic, yet thankfully still-rough version of themselves.

Stomping and strutting with absolutely authentic mid/late ‘80s swagger, Under the Southern Light is an unabashed throwback to the era where heavy metal ruled the airwaves and arenas alike. Some might’ve doubted whether such Sunset Stripping sounds could come from TOXIKULL after the all-pistons-pumping speed metal overdrive of Cursed and Punished, but the ten tracks comprising the 41-minute Under the Southern Light are all anthems in the making: larger than life, heavy and spacious, moody and dynamic. Gleaming with their brightest chrome yet, TOXIKULL here invoke the quintessential likes of ‘80s Ozzy Osbourne, Dio, Judas Priest, Accept, Saxon, Manowar, Black Sabbath, WASP, Ratt, Scorpions, Picture, Germany’s Warlock, America’s Icon, France’s Sortilege, and many more. But, instead of pastiche or hero worship, Under the Southern Light is more so a tableau of TOXIKULL’s personal experiences in the world, whereby they rearrange all these classic archetypes into a laser-focused theme on the duality of living in the Southern lands of Europe, in places with so much light, with so much joy and potential, but at the same time, with such scarcity of opportunities, no future, and infested with shadows. “The light that feeds is the same light that burns,” says vocalist Lex Thunder. “And the light that makes you dream is the same light that chains you down and keeps you close to the shadows.”

Bright & burning-hot metal pumping blood from a (metal) heart of darkness, Under the Southern Light takes the party down dark, dirty back streets…dare you drink with TOXIKULL?
