wilall138 Love my fellow Hellenic kin!! Some top notch vocals and music! A bit of Obituary and Entombed Left Hand era!!
Rock On! Bang the head that doesn’t bang Favorite track: They Cast No Shadow.

Steven Andrew Mazzone Really fantastic teaser tracks so far for this release and eager for the whole to come out. Nice solid sound and production values. Thrashy and just "garage" enough in sound to greatly impress. Solid rhythm section and nice tempo shifts. Vocals are nicely gruff without falling into a growl style. Just solid thrashiness. A solid-seeming debut. And already curious what they could do with slightly higher production input.
Definitely recommended Favorite track: They Cast No Shadow.

2.	From Nothingness (To A Slave Of Darkness) 04:01	lyrics	buy track
In a world that falls under darkness charm Death always command to never see the sun See the river flow a million innocent souls with a magic touch forever to condemn Mankind is heading to a certain death consumed by the lies of an evil mistress FROM NOTHINGNESS INTO DARKNESS Animations that live only in the night absorbing the light just to take a life Dwell in every soul causing anger, lust frustration at all cost why to suffer us? Time's running out see the dawns' light back to their lamp prepare the next fight FROM NOTHINGNESS INTO DARKNESS
3.	The Boneghoul King (The Miserly) 04:26	lyrics	buy track
In a darkened land- where people never smiled There was a king- that ruled all by fear And himself got crowned- by the darkness in his eyes All the villains-in all the world They were no match-for his wrath so their hearts-and their mind were pushing in to make a fight Someone told the ripper To tear away, their souls Miserly echoing screams The Boneghoul king While their lives-were so endlessly lost He watched them from above-no mercy were shown From a dark cave-hidden from the light And by the dawn-they all knew Death and misery-will only occur The king of the graves-now will rise The miserly Boneghoul King Someone told the ripper To tear away, their souls Miserly echoing screams The Boneghoul king
4.	They Cast No Shadow 04:50	lyrics	buy track
A shivering, whisper, echoed in our heads the time is, now, to reach for the light after thousand years, out from your doom you shall go, after, your lord Like a vampire, among the living you'll march Your mission is to, heckle mankind make them cry Company of death, guided souls into dead bodies... That, leave no trails and cast no shadow Coming from, powerful minds escaping no more, from the light illusions shall feel, your head desecration of men, for all time Inside your mind, you dream to thrive in death Your mission is to, heckle mankind make them die Company of death, guided souls into dead bodies... That leave no trails and cast no shadow Inside your mind, you dream to thrive in death Your mission is to, heckle mankind make them die Company of death, guided souls into dead bodies... That leave no trails and cast no shadow
5.	Sleep With The Ghouls 03:58	lyrics	buy track
Sleep, but i'm able to do the things that make people bad See, everything that i will kill tonight no one survives the night Become, what i wanna be a rock in the sand or a glimpse in the sky So don't tell me what to do right i don't care for your ignorant sight never pushed me forward always hold me back Now i know that being alone is better than having a mind of stone so piss off and burn in hell Call me an odd but the curse is unleashed goodbye now you'll never be missed never to be alone again cause i SLEEP WITH THE GHOULS Hiding,but i'm everywhere i can see you there laughing in despair Stalking,want to drink your blood i can hear you say many miles away Horrify,penetrate your mind always the wrong sign made my moves right So don't tell me what to do right i don't care for your ignorant sight never pushed me forward always hold me back Now i know that being alone is better than having a mind of stone so piss off and burn in hell Call me an odd but the curse is unleashed goodbye now you'll never be missed never to be alone again cause i SLEEP WITH THE GHOULS
6.	Vicious Knights 02:56	lyrics	buy track
A madman said before this age Armageddon will tear up this place No one cared, everyone laughed But this madman was clever enough Now everybody will see The pain and the misery What evil words can do When your hate penetrates you too Vicious knights are coming The clouds are turning black Spiritless bodies marching To a war that has no luck Vicious nights are coming You'll die before the dawn Obsession covered their minds No one survived before Soulless bodies covered this land Death happily grips his hand In an endless pile of bones You can't understand which is yours Now everybody will see The pain and the misery What evil words can do Vicious knights, we are coming through Vicious knights are coming The clouds are turning black Spiritless bodies marching To a war that has no luck Vicious nights are coming You'll die before the dawn Obsession covered their minds No one survived before Vicious knights are coming The clouds are turning black Spiritless bodies marching To a war that has no luck Vicious nights are coming You'll die before the dawn Obsession covered their minds No one survived before
7.	Swing From The Grave 04:39	lyrics	buy track
Swing from the grave no traces to leave assault from in front no one can see With no wings always staying low and a dark aura forever bond with them Messing with your dreams attack in the dark watching you in your crib attack in the dark Messing with your dreams attack in the dark Untolerated entities doing what they want they feed from a weak filthy craven soul Swing from the grave no traces to leave assault from in front no one can see Messing with your dreams attack in the dark watching you in your crib attack in the dark Messing with your dreams attack in the dark
8.	It Was In My House 04:41	lyrics	buy track
Something from the past invades my house A grievous presence before my eyes Female figure I want to shoot Insane freakshow for me and you Nothing feels the same in the atmosphere An unearthly creature to infest, now it's real The place i lived, now a death trap Life or death, everything depends on that Now the damage is done A disturbing case What can anyone say about that face The evidence i had no one could question But it was too late to save me from possession Nothing feels the same in the atmosphere An unearthly creature to infest, now it's real The place i lived, now a death trap Life or death, everything depends on that Nothing feels the same in the atmosphere An unearthly creature to infest, now it's real The place i lived, now a death trap Life or death, everything depends on that
9.	Disenchanting The Matter (The Statue Is Alive) 05:27	lyrics	buy track
A fortress in the east stands tall Underneath it, a legendary dungeon Where the master enchanterer lives Forgotten from this world, but A well known teacher of darkness Deals with the unnatural tactics He practices day and night Again in this stenchy site Experimenting on materials Finds a way to make life His furnace starts to blaze Eyes so bright gaze the light Sacred mixture to apply Unheard knowledge, now unfold Hyped and drunk of what he made Resonate screams found him say THE STATUE IS ALIVE THE STATUE IS ALIVE Burned books of the old Instructions learned from the stars A recipe to bind the stuff Materials found in the pond But yet the enchanterer found A place no mortal could reach The way to have them all And channel his menace to it Experimenting on materials Finds a way to make life His furnace starts to blaze Eyes so bright gaze the light Sacred mixture to apply Unheard knowledge, now unfold Hyped and drunk of what he made Resonate screams found him say

about

DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present VICIOUS KNIGHTS’ striking debut album, Alteration Through Possession, on CD and vinyl LP formats.

VICIOUS KNIGHTS is an old-school death/thrash metal band, screaming from Thessaloniki, Greece. The band was formed in 2016 by Antonis "Harvester" (guitars/vocals) and Liakos (drums). Panos (bass guitar) entered the band a few months later. This three-piece of total maniacs self-released their first EP Malevolent Spirits on CD in 2018 and then reissued it in 2020 through the World War Now label. The band had many gigs in Greece presenting their first release and some of their newer material, making a great impact on the underground scene.

Now, armed with the support of DYING VICTIMS, VICIOUS KNIGHTS return to destroy the world with their first full-length, Alteration Through Possession! Curiously yet tellingly titled, Alteration Through Possession indeed transforms the listener…once that listener is ensnared in the power-trio’s iron grip! Like a trip back to 1987, VICIOUS KNIGHTS live up to their moniker by invoking the old spirits of early Kreator, Destruction, Possessed, and Sepultura, combining more devotedly horror-specific lyrics with absolutely ass-ripping DEATHRASH. They go beyond the gates to inflict eternal pain, their infernal overkill bestowing morbid visions upon those who still believe in razor-wire riffing, snarling-evil vokills, and straightforward drum-propulsion – and of course, actual songwriting. Simple, sure, but sublime: Alteration Through Possession is a pleasure to kill!
