about

The opening track, “The Gauntlet of Fears” pummels the ears with the near verbal abuse that only a 6’5” German can deliver, as he shouts the first stanza: “As your dying body convulses / Violently on the blood soaked asphalt / Is it everything you ever feared / A high beyond what you’ve ever sought”. The chorus features some phenomenal drumming from Miller, as he explodes upon his kit with the fierceness of a Slayer like drum fill extended throughout the entire section, somehow managing to effortlessly keep the listener in the groove of the song! Further into the Gauntlet we are kicked in the head by the sound of Wopshall shredding his guitar up with a wah solo in a somewhat sadistic and methodical way.

lyrics

As your dying body convulses
Violently on the blood soaked asphalt
Is it everything you ever feared
A high beyond what you’ve ever sought
As horror seeps from your mouth
Mortality brings its brutal kiss
Places it upon your soon to be corpse
As your cries for help become useless

I will teach you a lesson in hell
Pain beyond what you have ever felt
Everything you were ever afraid of
Every torment of Judas’s pelts

The vortex is spinning again
To sweep me in its murderous rage
Overruling rationality
As I cave in the rest of your face
Unknowingly digging your own grave
When you dared to cross my fucking path
As you pick your teeth up from the ground
Your priceless look reflects my wrath

I will teach you a lesson in hell
Pain beyond what you have ever felt
Everything you were ever afraid of
Every torment of Judas’s pelts

Lying there with your skull split open
You were dead before you began to fall
You are now just a memory
One that will never be recalled
In this pain I hope I’ve taught you well
Because it is only the beginning
Your hell you will inherently face
Now that time won’t another breath bring

I will teach you a lesson in hell
Pain beyond what you have ever felt
Everything you were ever afraid of
Every torment of Judas’s pelts
