1.
HEART OF DARKNESS This is the end and I am a part of it On this river into madness I am the snail on the razor blade You let me crawl it along But I will survive Hidden in wildnerness At the heart of darkness At the centre of madness In the heart of darkness Inside my mind Faith is just an illusion I am the assassin I infiltrate I terminate At the heart of darkness This is my end It’s my mission and I never wanted another one Without consequences here I reign In obscurity of drugs weapons and death At the centre of madness In the heart of darkness
2.
TASTE OF TERROR You get to know my name so say your prayers I will break your cage It’s time to feel my rage Fulfilled with unknown powers I concentrate I annihilate I slipped in a state of trance Altering and changing Total mind control Taste of terror Watch me jesus! Watch me from your bloody wall! Your face cold as stone Is it faith? Or is it just delusion? Why do I feel alone? When sin never dies In my state of trance See me changing Feel me altering Taste of terror NOW! Where is your shelter? I am trapped in your delusion! Invisible is your mark! Just grief and sadness! Watch me bleed in sin! You get to know my name Taste my terror
3.
THE GOD FORSAKEN I am the god forsaken Here I stand alone Belief versus doubt Am I right or am I wrong? Where is your path? Absolution or retribution? Lonesome here I stand! In the absence of faith Black veins appear Eyes darkened As the demon takes over Devious spirits playing with my mind Inhuman voices Reveal my name I am the god forsaken Of guilt With failures In confusion In agony My body contorts No longer in a state of grace Inhuman voices speak my name I am the god forsaken
4.
SELF-IMMOLATION IN FIRE Just let me burn! Where is my relief? Please withdraw this filfth Pure insanity in my state of mind Watch me vomiting Unleashing the fluids Slowly losing ground Take me over I am disconnecting from this reality Let me transform Now everyone will see My self-immolation in fire Just let me burn! I feel the unknown physical presence Dismantling the shroud of mortality Disconnecting from reality Let me bath in divine light My self-immolation in fire Now you see me burn As reality starts to end Apocalyptic my embodiment Self-loathing Blinded by delusion Watch my trauma Of sin Of guilt So take me over Just let me burn Self-immolation in fire Now let me burn away Away from this world
5.
POSSESSION In possession In possession here with us Levitation in the pose of christ In possession Rest in faithless slime here with us Until you rot in earth with us Here with us in possession Priest! Where is your god now ??? Invading spirits Commanding Demanding Until you rot in earth Here with us in possession Levitation in the pose of christ In possession Here with us in possession

about

Horror-fused Death Metallers HEADS FOR THE DEAD unleashes a fresh stench in the form of a five-track offering inspired by some of the most influential horror/thriller films of our time via PULVERISED RECORDS.

“In The Absence Of Faith” captures a steady throb throughout the entire EP; a somewhat brooding but heavily drenched in an unimaginable consumed darkness.
As wretched-sounding as some of the early English Doom greats, “In The Absence Of Faith” still maintains a vigor of high-strung hooks enough to revitalize even the deadest of emaciated corpses.

Recorded, mixed & mastered at Studio Unbound by Jonny Pettersson, with cover artwork conceptualized by Jonny Pettersson and Indonesian illustrator Dedy Badic Art.

The track ‘Possession’ is a tribute to Mike Oldfield’s “Tubular Bells”.
For fans of horror movies and Death Metal inspired by movie soundtracks, Necrophagia, very early Paradise Lost and Tribulation!
