LYRICS
Deep, deep down in the forest,
A resurrection awaits
May god have fucking mercy, when these five poor fools press “Play”
On a tape that's draped in dread
Can you hear the Evil Dead singin’:
"A cold wind blows as the angels cry
The living will descend and the dead will rise
From way below, way below, way below”
Well, God Damn!
Deep, deep down in the cellar
Feel your spirit disengage
May God have fucking mercy, ‘cause you just have to turn the page
With the woods all splattered in red
Can you hear the Evil Dead singin’:
"A cold wind blows as the angels cry
The living will descend and the dead will rise
From way below, way below, way below
So go, go, go, don't wave goodbye
We're saving you a seat where the dead don't die
From way below, way below, way below"
The woods are alive!
So cross the “Book of the Dead” off your reading list
(Necronomicon Ex-Mortis!)
And join the Army of Darkness, don't resist
(Necronomicon Ex-Mortis!)
Now you'll choke on your words, swallow this…
Groovy...
"A cold wind blows as the angels cry
The living will descend and the dead will rise
From way below, way below, way below
So go, go, go, don't wave goodbye
We're saving you a seat where the dead don't die
From way below, way below, way below"

I just think they overproduced this album way to much. Every song has good parts that made SS1 so damn good, but then they add tons more effects that drown out their creativity.

[@StoneGregory7]

@@playsanitygaming TSS lacked variety in songwriting and production; the songs are great but the album is pretty static. A literal cut/copy of that would have been an awful move and a complete miss. You basically are saying “by being more creative, they drowned their creativity.” TSS is littered w/ movie quotes and “effects,” I don’t see why there are complaints this round.

One of my favorites at the moment. Love the heavy ones, but this type of variety is what makes INK so amazing!

@@georgethomas4567 Same. I love the last song in the album. It starts soo calm and hits burtaly. This song is basically just art. But the song with corpsegrinder is brutally enough to not have to come down. Wurst vacation also has a nice touch, basically the whole album is a masterpiece. I love the in between transitions. This album is perfect. Personally there is no such thing, that is as brutal, besides motionless and white probably, because it is not all out brutal. The end could have been heavier though. I rarely have goosebumps, but sequencly when INK brings out new songs.

I’d even go as far to say that this album not only lives up to the hype that was created by the 4 singles/videos they released, but it surpasses the original Silver Scream with relative ease. Welcome to Horrorwood is the rare success story from a “Sophomore” album that does far more justice to INK. This album has cemented them into their rightful place as the kings of a genre we didn’t even know could exist.
