Demigod - Apocryphal / As I Behold I Despise video free download

Finnish death metal. From the album, "Slumber of Sullen Eyes". Released in 1992 by Drowned Productions.

Demigod's classic debut album. A slightly different approach than bands of the Swedish scene, Demigod's riffing is incredibly fast and intricate drawing influence from Floridian death metal bands. They also make use of traditional harmonies and deep growled vocals. The drumming is also excellent. In the past couple of years this album has seen a few reissues, but the awesome cover art is a little different.

Track 1 / 2 - Apocryphal / As I Behold I Despise

Forsaken and lost

Alone below the darkest realm

Through the eyes of suffering

I have seen the gods from beyond

Fathers of time

behold and forsake

Bring an end to our timeless existence

The almighty has fallen

No god to rule the vacant throne

As darkness takes over

The dark overlord shall dominate

The fools who seek eternal peace

Shall wither slowly to suffer

Again to reach the shores of death

We must be one with darkened earth

As we are shadows in this dismal mist

We shall hear the moan of our gods

Cloak of darkness, the lord of all

Upon this valley of utter nothingness

May the periphery

Of ancient wisdom

Remain merciful

For the ones who deny the darkness
