BIOGRAPHY:
Cenotaph was a Mexican death metal band whose origins lie in 1989 and ceased its activity in 2002. Their lyrics dealt initially on gore, maturing through time towards death, hatred and darkness. Cenotaph is considered together with Shub Niggurath as one of the most important extreme metal of Mexico.
The band started in the mid-80s under the name Damned Cross and after a few lineup changes and own releases you opt for the name Cenotaph.

LYRICS:
The mercy falls behind the voice of tyranny
and with it's burned eyes cries but fire
then, here my vision join at the wind eyes
and my voice sings the natural music of tragedy
The star of tenebrae will terrify the blaze of reality
spelling the equilibrium
filling my universe with thousands of frozen moons
absorbing all negative energy
in this concentration of equilibration
In the domination of kingdom's wrath
shadows walk without owner, just in black
and never with chains from the flesh
just guided by the hand of spiritual liberalism
Horizon's aren't in front of my eyes
horizons exists behind my eyes and are mine
the shadows fly loosing in the eternal obscurity
of this black universe existent and real
Someday I'll be real
because someday I'll die of this dream
built of light
and I'll exist in the eternal darkness
And the black universe
That tries to awake from it's dream
with my contribution
I grow the birth of universal darkness
