Infernal Majesty - Overlord (Studio Version)

Infernal Majesty - Overlord from the 1987 album "None Shall Defy"
Battle of the ages,
good and evil waging war for mankind's soul
Centuries, millenniums, spent in futile struggle for the prize
and the reward already given to the demon the oppressor
Vanquish the resistant, subjugate.
Victimize the meek and the mild
Unholy power reign supreme.
Ruling all, fist of fear, a mighty weapon to be wielded
Sparing none, who dare oppose,
redemption is the trademark of a goddamn fool
Overlord - Still you fight though the cause is lost,
hail the victor master of this earth
Overlord - The weak of mind owe no debt,
fables of salvation are stories of the past
Electronic prophets, so called righteous virtue's their disguise
Intentions, camouflaged, they weave their clever tales of myth
and swear by all that's holy that they speak the gospel truth
They're lying bastards!
Dominate the destitute, circumvent.
Persecute the conscience of the masses
Helplessly the feeble follow
Call it right, it's really wrong,
answer to the dark one in the end
Secretly, blasphemy,
testimony proving good will not always prevail
Overlord - Betrayed by those you called your own,
gleam of silver negates loyalty
Overlord - Blackness spreading across the land,
countless graves cry out and curse your name
Death advances shouting kill destroy,
slaves surrender fearing blood shall flow
Faith disappears from the bravest of heroes
when death's icy grip holds their life in its grasp
Marching defiant the legions bear witness
to stand against evil means you stand alone!

I loved how they almost look glam on the back of the vinyl but was beyond heavy.. One of a kind cult record

[@97warlock]

this album was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HEAVY back in the day & STILL packs a hard punch.

[@michaelstroman8225]

I know right

[@97warlock]

Future Commenters ..... Keep in mind, this was released in 1987 . This album had a big impact on my youth. LAte night cruising with a few rinds Blasting this album Loud windows down, Freedom with nowhere to go, The 80s was a Great time.

"future commenter" here. this album is badass. to me the vocals and riffs stand out a lot but the lyrics are something else. i don't know how they came up with them but man do they paint a perfect image of what their sound tries to convey.

[@97warlock]

@@titantron5840 I like that the drummers "fast parts" arent that fast. Once the beat goes so fast it can lose heaviness ,imo . Its impressive the speed, but on here his fast beats are just gfast enough for me & still make its point . The leads can get quite melodic at times & almost consider it "good music" at times. My fav underground album. Got it on Unopened vinyl. Unopened Cd & Opened CD to listen to when I want to.

@@97warlock awesome dude, must be badass to own the vinyl. I wonder who the vocalist really is cuz i heard it was actually the drummer but credited to Chris Bailey. Their new albums aren't for me and the vocals are pretty bad. This is one of the greatest metal albums i've heard.

[@97warlock]

@@titantron5840 From my understanding its Chris Bailey but not positive on that. The new albums, the ones after this one fail to captuie the rawness & agression this one has . Some of the lyrics are like ......."what they actually said that". I thought Slayer put it out there , but some of the lyrics I read are way heavier & violent than Slayers. Not only that I do like this guys voice better than Toms. - Not knocking Slayer, but I tend to sorta compare them kinda. . theyre little brakdowns are so tasteful & catchy. - Also on the song Jack the ripper ...towards the end, I remember the line ....."tear out your lungs gouge the eyes from your head - Bleed for me" Back in the day I was like holycrap thats pretty heavy

[@97warlock]

@@titantron5840 I believe its Chris Bailey , yeh THIS album is the only one that matters to me of all the ones Ive heard from them. The ferocity & creativity & style & brutality was awesome. have u read the lyrics? makes Slayer sound fairly mild.

One of the best albums. Proper thrash metal. Ranks alongside Reign in Blood and Leprosy in my opinion

[@TruthSurge]

I'm going to go beyond death metal and create AFTERLIFE metal. :)

[@vladtepes9614]

LOL.

[@beotheguitarist]

Freaking Amazing every time I hear this!

[@mitchelltheawesome1]

So strange to an electronic drum kit used in thrash. The only other instance I can think of is the album Nightmare Theatre by Exorcist (which is another underrated classic)

[@jenarnett196]

Gottdammmm

[@97warlock]

sh*ts heavy AF imo.

[@YogiBrull2011]

🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻😈😈😈😈💀

[@97warlock]

Had they wore jeans & Tshirt perhaps they wouldve gotten further.
