Hammer of the Heretics

by Autokrator

supported by

warchrist30 This is a good example of the awfulness of genius level songwriting. Suffocating Death Metal, indeed. Favorite track: Inquisitio-Denunciatio-Exceptio.

VVolf This album hates everything in the universe and that includes anyone who listens to this. It spends its duration emotionally beating you, with a serious talent for song writing. For me, it feels like a fuller sounding and more terrifying version of Dragged Into Sunlight. Brilliant stuff. Favorite track: Hammer of the Heretics.

Jordan Vauvert Autokrator garde le cap sur Hammer of the Heretics avec ce death metal brutal qui se vit comme une crise d'asphyxie — après tout, pourquoi changer vu qu'ils sont les seuls à être aussi extrêmes dans ce genre ?
Mais Autokrator se met maintenant à faire des pistes plus longues ("Interlude" à part, elles dépassent les six minutes) et invite Kévin Paradis (qui travaille avec Benighted ou Swartadauþuz, entre autres), martial et écrasant à la batterie. Cet album, c'est l'équivalent d'avaler du plomb. Favorite track: Inquisitio-Denunciatio-Exceptio.

Arise! children of the Fatherland, The day of glory has arrived Against us, tyranny's, Bloody banner is raised Do you hear, in the countryside, the roar of those ferocious soldiers? They're coming, right into your arms, to cut the throats of your sons and women To arms, citizens Form your battalions Let an impure blood Soak our fields Tremble, tyrants, and you traitors Your parricidal schemes, will finally, receive their reward Sacred love, of the Fatherland, lead and support our avenging arms May thy, expiring enemies, see thy triumph and our glory To arms, citizens Form your battalions Let an impure blood Soak our fields To arms, citizens Form your battalions Let an impure blood Soak our fields What does, this horde of slaves, of traitors, and conspiratorial kings want? For whom, are these vile chains, these long-prepared irons? Great God, by chained hands, our brows would yield under the yoke Citizens, as warriors, bear or hold back your blows To arms, citizens Form your battalions Let an impure blood Soak our fields!

Purging... The blood and the faith Milites Templi Militia Dei Cleansing... The pestilential breath of the snake Tormenting... And rubbing the salt in the wounds Anguish, torment, fear, cruciation, Martyrdom, torture, scourge, affiction Pain, suffering, death, Hammer of the Heretics Anguish, torment, fear, cruciation, Martyrdom, torture, scourge, affiction Pain, suffering, death, Hammer of the Heretics The holy trinity The utter cruelty Tearing out the guts Is this salvation or punishment? Behold the filthy Hooded congregation The holy anger Exposcit debitum Anguish, torment, fear, cruciation, Martyrdom, torture, scourge, affiction Pain, suffering, death, Hammer of the Heretics Anguish, torment, fear, cruciation, Martyrdom, torture, scourge, affiction Pain, suffering, death, Hammer of the Heretics Citra membri diminutionem Et mortis periculum Stripped Bound Suspended Burned Boiled Torched Behold the Cross of the Lord Flee bands of enemies We drive you from us Whoever you may be Unclean spirits Impure Swines Questioned Outing Truth From the lungs May Thy mercy Descend upon us All infernal invaders All wicked legions Assemblies and sects
5.	Inquisitio-Denunciatio-Exceptio 06:39	lyrics	buy track
Did you eat Any bread Blessed by This heretic? Did you have the will Or the intention If you were To become sick To be received Into the sect Of these Heretics? Did you signal Any intention To this heretic That you wished To be received Into his faith To be received Into his sect? Have you ever Said that there is No other world Than the present one? Dolus An virtus Quis in hoste Requirat Inquisitio Denunciatio Inquisitio Exceptio Do you think That God created The world from nothing That he will reduce It to nothing After the Judgment Day That there will be No other world after? Inquisitio Denunciatio Inquisitio Exceptio Extremis Malis Extrema Remedia Better crippled in body than corrupted in mind Fate leads the willing and drags along the reluctant The truth lies buried in the darkness of the soul. The end crowns the work, The opposite is cured with the opposite

PSA: if there was an album you heard a couple years ago and thought it was ok, listen to it again and you might love it. That's what happened to me with this album. I cannot fathom why it didn't stick with me back then. Same thing happened with Decoherence's Unitarity for that matter. Matten

Swirling guitars, furious drums, vocals that at the same time howl from infinite distance and are right up in your head; everything put into dissonant form with the help of unconventional songwriting. This album is my personal key to the icelanding black metal madness that I've ignored for way too long! Lukas Kaufmann

Unsettling Whispers
by GAEREA

supported by 92 fans who also own “Hammer of the Heretics”

Gaerea's first release of "Unsettling Whispers" was in 2018, and since, they dared define a "black metal" niche of their own, they dared to walk a new path and stir shit up a bit in the realm of BM, this album is a masterpiece and a milestone proving that it can be done, provided the band can pull it off, and they did, oh they did! Gloomy, dark, post-BM sludgy whatever, it's Gaerea, and this one belongs in my BC collection, the end. sachavonkarl74
