1.	Howl At The Rain 05:05	lyrics	buy track
Do you believe in a lake of fire And do you fear the paths of desire? Will you submit just like everyone should Or would you kill for some greater good? Emblazed by the light of their fire Keep the damned from getting higher Howl at the rain Show them your face, defiled with all sins Howl at the rain Keep up the race, don’t let ‘em win! It takes one man to take billions of lifes Play with their heads, controll from all sides And if there’s some folks to stand against his gab They’re not aware that it’s just another trap Howl at the rain Erasing the blood from your eyes Howl at the rain Don’t let those prophets of lies haunt you again
2.	The Seventh Seal 06:17	lyrics	buy track
Spreading faster than an epidemic plague He’s heading out for thee Piercing bodies like a toxic ray Ending your disease Nobody sees him until they are ceasing And vanish in the night But how many acts must we play the violin Before we see the light Just tell me when this madness ends Cause I won’t be taken Out of time, out of this place, out of disgrace Nowhere to go, I stare alone into the void What’s the point, what is the deal, is this for real? I’ll seek the truth ‘bout life ‘til it’s revealed The Seventh Seal! Not to get over, he’s creeping closer With every hint you breathe A cold desire’s gonna still the fire And it’ll watch you bleed We live our life’s in ignorance, punishment or vain But in the end it’s all just like an icepick in the rain Just tell me when this madness ends Cause I won’t be taken And when the silence begins to plant it’s seeds on every man How much longer will it take us to keep ourselves awake
3.	Red And Black 04:52	lyrics	buy track
Things are changing and time only knows They’ve let down a nation, the fear within grows War’s been senseless and another won’t change Anything to good, they’re sick of your games A nation is dying while the leaders feast The peoples rebellion’s soon to be unleashed But where will they go? I don’t know Red and black, beyond devastated Red and black, they’re calling that night Red and black, beyond devastated Storming millions breaking the line The big man dethroned and taken from might Lady liberty is waving the flame The end of the rebellion shall not end the game The cheer turning silent, hope’s black as the night They’re left without guidance, no solution in sight And where will we go? I don’t know People waiting for a sign, Too many seek for power, tension’s growing in their minds `Til they find themselves forming sides The friend becomes enemy, separating all What’s once been a family, another war Raging gunfire fills the night Reign of terror, peace denied And when there’s a new one to put fear in their heads The hammers of justice unmoved yet again Don’t ask where we go, I don’t know
4.	Nightrider 06:01	lyrics	buy track
One way down the track, never looking back Anymore and he won’t tell Fed up of his life, shows the past his knife And you know he’s out for hell Ride on! Ride on alone into the night Erasing all that’s in his sight It’s alive! Release the demon’s in your mind! It’s alive! Don’t let the foolish make you blind! Racing with the sun, whatever lies beyond It goes on and on and on You cannot kill the beast but you can escape it’s feast There ain’t no right or wrong Nightrider, streetfighter You prey the dawn Outsider, hellrider Run on and on! Never mind the crying sheep feeding on their pride Following an endless slope to avoid the dark of night Masses come from all about for whom the strings are pulled Whatever lurks beyond the curtain’s waiting to get full Release your mind! It is your guide Ignore the blind, cause it’s alive! Release the demon’s in your mind! It’s alive! Don’t let the foolish make you blind! One way down the track, never looking back Anymore and he won’t tell You cannot kill the beast but you can escape it’s feast Arise and give ‘em hell!
5.	Manic Man 04:39	lyrics	buy track
Setting all the world on fire Gambling with man’s desire Messing with their game of life Frisking on your fears Courting with my emanation Playing with the fools temptation Creating mass hysteria Corrupting all their peers My way of life is just a path of callous pride I set the eyes on those in dread And all the lies that penetrate into their minds manifest to make a thousand strings upon your heads I’m a manic man Eradicating all I can I’m a manic man Manic man! The world is filled with cold corruption A hellish loop of mind destruction The devil laughs, anticipates And watches from the deep I whisper in thy ear with mischief Knowing that you’ll be submissive Now go and male me omnipresent I gave you eyes to see! Your way of life is nothing but an endless ride A wave of envy, wrath and dread And all the lies that penetrate into your minds Manifest to make another string upon your head My way of life is just a path of callous pride I set the eyes on those in dread And all the lies that penetrate into their minds manifest to make a thousand strings upon your heads
6.	Made Of Light 03:53	lyrics	buy track
Night after night it haunts me in my dreams Shakes me from inside, out of sleep Though it’s been a while since she’s turned from me Still she’s in my mind and won’t set me free Retained in my eyes She’s made of light I can’t hold her Like blazing fire Getting stronger Is it something real or just some nasty game But I keep hearing that voice calling out my name I cannot hold on as she grabs my brain Gives me manic thoughts, drives me insane Retained in my eyes She’s made of light I can’t hold her Like blazing fire Never fading away A memory that keeps on burning in my brain A plain black shadowy figure Dancing in the rain Gotta take my turn from this darkness To see the light again But will this madness ever end?
7.	The Rising 04:39	lyrics	buy track
„That is not dead which can eternal lie but with strange aeons even death may die“ It sleeps in silence away from your eyes And dreams of violence sustain its disguise But when the time is right you will see You cannot hide It will embrace the night The damned knows what it feels like There’s no use to fight When the darkness seems to grow Into the deep we’ll go Hear the sinners shout Chaos all about! It’s formed alliance is waiting for the time Of the great rising to bring it back to life For they know those who disbelieve Must pay tonight It will embrace the night The damned knows what it feels like There’s no use to fight
8.	The Hex 04:42	lyrics	buy track
Wild nights give me action, I feel the gain It’s my satisfaction to give you pain I am a beast that’s not to tame I see my malefactions as just a game To find raw perfection without any vain I hear the devil scream my name I am your nightmare I am the one My hex ‘a comin‘ And it’s coming down It’s coming down! Nightmares are taking over reality Nothing to give or hope and no moralities I can’t control a thing in me Feels like a supernova inside my brain And it’s burning like a fever and keeps me chained My way of love makes me insane
9.	Streets Of Gold 05:54	lyrics	buy track
Gaslights, they are burning in the dark Giving false sensations of warmth Silence reigning in the cold Nothing’s changed in this place I call my home City lights blazing in the dead of night They throw me back to a place where I’ve never been And old life filled with dreams that never thrive Just a strange imagination full of lies On tarmac is where we crawled and played Children free of sorrow and fear Allegories of innocence in the dirt And I still hear the laughter from those years Anyway, they parted here and went astray Leaving not a trace, nor any signs And here I stray, staring down the alleyway Only got my clouded thoughts to hide It’s all that I wanted I’ve never been away for long Cause every time it draws me back again Streets of gold I don’t wanna walk them anymore A force that chains me there will keep me anyway Streets of gold I don’t wanna feel them anymore I know that I need it, It’ll always stay the same City lights, will forever be the flame of life Burning ’til my eyesight fades away And the light once bright, getting weaker in the cold of the night, Turn it to smoke and let it fly away! Neon cuts the scene of dust and broken dreams Like a glass shard in the vein Will I ever see that dawn again?

about

DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the highly anticipated debut album of Austria’s VENATOR, Echoes From the Gutter, on CD, vinyl LP, and cassette tape formats.

Despite forming in 2016, it was not until 2020 when VENATOR made their recorded debut with the EP Paradiser. Nevertheless, the three songs contained therein were an incredibly auspicious first start, showing VENATOR as a band seemingly thawed out from 1983, so authentic and skyward was their songwriting. Wrapped in a uniquely retro-futuristic production, Paradiser pointed the way forward for VENATOR, and the buzz began to build.

Now, that buzz is gonna boil over with the band’s full-length debut, Echoes From the Gutter. Graced with yet another amazingly era-authentic artwork courtesy of frontman Hans Huemer, Echoes From the Gutter takes the melody and moodiness of its no-less-inconsiderable predecessor to uncharted heights (and depths!) of glory, both grimy and gleaming. Right from the record’s very first seconds, VENATOR burst and bristle with an electricity that’s positively, stunningly addicting; ANTHEM after ANTHEM is doled out with almost laissez-faire ease, each hook hoisted heavenly and then brought back down to – yes – the gutter. It’s the kind of album that walks that fine line between street-level and upwardly-mobile, much like heavy metal’s forerunning bands of the early 1980s, when the landscape of conquest from club to stadium was still a special dream. Or, simply submit to the emotive vocals of Huemer, whose heart-on-sleeve clarity commands his bandmates onward, they in kind delivering a truly impassioned performance that encompasses many speeds and many moods, but always with those HOOKS front and center – and fucking GODLY solos! Seriously: the solos here!!!

Anyone pining for the 1983/’84 peak of the likes of Tokyo Blade, Grim Reaper, OZ, Witch Cross, Heavy Load, and even Judas Priest but adding to that hallowed lineage rather than plagiarizing it, you’ve found your new modern classic in VENATOR’s Echoes From the Gutter!

What an album! The only reason the album didn't elevate them straight to stardom is not enough people heard it. Modern classic - from start to finish. c1ch
