1.	Matriarch 03:42	lyrics	buy track
Deep in a spiral of stars far beyond all conquered spheres A glow cuts through the dark the source that brought a vital spark In gracious ways she flies alluring the children of the void Since eons they orbit her Hub Forever to serve their mother-grub Spellbound by her force Devoted to their rapture source She ignited the spark Matriarch of the dark There is a desire since we first caught your eye Sweet matriarch Give is the reason why Show us how to die Born to protect her beauty but still they do not know She never lived and never will they're obsessed with a dream that won't fulfill
2.	Lion's Gate 03:05	lyrics	buy track
As soon as you step, through this door it’s too late With open arms you’re welcomed as bait Your previous life ain’t worth a dime The lions are marking the end of the line Teeth sharp as razors are ripping your flesh Crushed by brutish terror, you're wishing for death Ten thousands are cheering, the soil lies in blood Your scattered bones stomped into the mud Lions Gate There is no escape Time to meet your fate Lions Gate
3.	Clutch of the Sea 05:21	lyrics	buy track
A last breath of air I surrender to the seas mighty grasp My time has come Brine is burning down my throat Water fills my lungs The coldness stabs behind my eyes Seconds turn to years As I drown into Neptunes realm…eternal realm I cease to be There is no more me I’m Just another…victim of the sea Captured by… The clutch of the sea Shapes in the Dark Phantoms of a panic stricken mind Fluid images unfold Scenes from a Life that is no more In wonder I touch her face Finally I Can Join Her Liquid Grave As the Pressure of the Deep Floods away my last spark of life…wasted life I have chosen a young man’s death All along this world pulled me to its…depths
4.	Hologram 04:00	lyrics	buy track
You found your life in ruins and the darkness you feared opened its gates Shadows of a future past are altering the flux of your myriad fates Hologram Here but gone Hologram Hologram Wrecked and torn Hologram Bitter Cries Tombstone Eyes No way to stop your ultimate demise Lost your track High on smack The darkness within lurked dormant upon your soul Too late to change your ways earsplitting loud you can hear the needle scream You kept on running like hell following the river of death downstream
5.	Golgotha 03:56	lyrics	buy track
As a young man aged seventeen, I took up the reins of fate and set forth on sacred land Though we were many, I still was on my very own on a pilgrimage of mind and sword MY FAITH SHOULD NOT FAIL STRENGTHENED BY VISIONS OF THE HIDDEN GRAIL AND THE HOLY TOMB …OF GOLGOTHA Like many a knight before, I sought blessed fame, a venturous story that is fit for song and tale And as I rode on the wet blood-soaked ground I knew my mortal time had come to pass MY SPIRIT’S BOUND TO ROAM FOREVER TO GUARD GOD’S EARTHLY THRONE …OF GOLGOTHA
6.	Heir to the Ruby Throne 05:00	lyrics	buy track
In a cruel empire in demise A child unique and strange was born, oddly frail and skull-white skin Kept alive with the help of herbs and spells Doom to his kind, the legend tells Dragon isle born Ruler of Melnibone Final heir to the Ruby Throne His life took its ultimate course when he claimed the blade of doom and the destiny of both intertwined The sword wailed in its urge to harvest souls Its master addicted to the power it holds Inescapably alone Going the path unknown Final heir to the Ruby Throne Harbinger of earth's demise Madness in his crimson eyes A tragic fate that was not sealed by its own accord Eternal warrior, cursed to bear the black sword On his quest to cruel and foreign lands Beyond the borders of space and time The forces of law and chaos unfurled Nothing can stop his urge to understand the evil he holds in his hand Heart of Stone Worn-out to the bone Final heir to the Ruby Throne
7.	Decrypted Prophecies 02:10	lyrics	buy track
he who hears the music of the spheres, shall conquer and rule the void which binds...eternally מי ששומע את מוזיקת הספירות, יכבוש וישלוט בריק המחייב...לנצח Mi she sholet be muzikat hasphirot, ichbosh ve ishlot ba rik ha mechayev....la netzach
8.	The Last Bulwark of Man 03:08	lyrics	buy track
Howling to the Moon Singing my old magic tune I am the son of a gun Daring to defy the wicked one Here, where pure chaos still reigns Behind the red waters of the river Styx lies the heart of utter eclipse Forever I’m bound to stay Crushing the evil Blight Raising the purifying Light Striking with ruthless Might I'm illuming hells eternal Night Here, beyond the Gates of Hell Behind the red waters of the river Styx lies the heart of utter eclipse Forever I’m bound to stay Here, where I belong
9.	Visions of a Parallel World 07:42	lyrics	buy track
I see empires crumbling to dust Here, but gone in a blink of an eye I see armies of alien realms Marching through lands unknown to man I wander where spheres intertwine Deep in the fractions of space and time Visions of Parallel Worlds Untold planes are unfurled I see cities of crystalline bone Burning in the fire of a billion stars I see faces of strange beauty Deformed by the torments of downfall and grief …grief and pain I hold the secret to life itself Here I am, right on the brink of awaking a sleeping god My fate is restrained by the boundaries of flesh and blood Now the time has come to leave my mortal cage behind I will spin the wheels of time to deform the cosmic design The guardians of time ultimately deceived my entire power is unleashed I wander where spheres intertwine Deep in the fractions of space and time Visions of Parallel Worlds Untold planes are unfurled

about

DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the highly anticipated second album of Germany’s SPEEDWHORE, Visions of a Parallel World, on CD, vinyl LP, and cassette tape formats.

SPEEDWHORE was formed in Munich by Tim Kuntze and Johannes Mikulits in 2006. What started as an alcohol-induced joke soon took its own course when, soon after, SPEEDWHORE had their first rehearsals with a quickly expanded lineup. Three demos followed (one unreleased) as well as two singles and constant gigs in the ever-thriving German underground. But it was the band’s debut album, The Future is Now – released in 2015 by the cult label Witches Brew – that truly put SPEEDWHORE on the metal map, featuring as it did an odd-yet-endearing mix of thrash, black metal, and traditional heavy metal. An EP and a split 7” followed before Tim moved to Berlin and revamped the band completely. With the lineup filled out by Alexander Pusch, Leonhard Link, and Marcel Cording, SPEEDWHORE started to have national and international gigs again, and this lineup released their first output on a tribute album to Japan’s legendary Sabbat as well as another split 7”.

Road-tested by yet more gigs, the revamped SPEEDWHORE make their full-length debut with Visions of a Parallel World. At once sounding strikingly SPEEDWHORE and incredibly reinvigorated, the band’s second album takes that odd-yet-endearing mix to grander, grimier levels. On the surface, much of Visions of a Parallel World could soundtrack a heavy metal drinking party…but listen closely and one will detect unique twists of atmosphere and a more idiosyncratic approach to songwriting that jointly put SPEEDWHORE in a whole new realm (or a rarefied one populated by such idiosyncratic cults as fellow Germans Witching Hour or Slovenian labelmates VIGILANCE). The nine-song/39-minute album charges hard and charges in many directions, but always forward and abyss-ward, and the filth freely washes over you as a ghostly fog of ancient terror simultaneously casts its spell. The supremely grainy & old-school yet spacious production skillfully enhances this sensation and further lends an air of the archaic to proceedings, but rest assured that true HEAVY METAL physicality is present and accounted for. Call Visions of a Parallel World, then, a heavy metal drinking party where dread portals are also opened.

Equally suited to the streets and castles, SPEEDWHORE fire up the motorbikes and evoke Visions of a Parallel World.

An outstanding Extreme doom death album, in the best tradition. The funerary atmosphere reminds of Evoken ('Centuries of ooze" bears striking similarities, for my delight). It is overall sharp, dark, hypnotic and unrelenting. One of those rare convincing new bands that hold proud the legacy of the biggest names. Bertrand Marchal
