I love how this band brings death metal closer to my liking by taking extremely technical approac. I still cannot do anything else than smile while listening to their drum work. The singing has very unique tone in it that perfectly fits their sound.
Favorite track: Exercitus Irae.

Flawless songwriting, masterful musicianship, clean and powerful production and a David Vincent who sings, roars, rocks and screams full of devotion and delivers engaging catchiness from the top of his skill.
Favorite track: Miserere.

EPIC
04:35
|
|||
|
Evolved, over centuries
Ever floating ‘tween then and now
Suffused with wisdom from the Ancients
Hence the menace we have avowed to sough
Oh, as the spirits are screaming
Requisition my art, my all
This world, ripened for the taking
We’ve been summoned and we answer the call
Legends awake
Madness doth quake
Humanity doth wrawl
Epic how we earn new grace as epically you fall!
Over time we’ve drifted far from human
These chasms never rectified
Grown weary of your ineptitude
Your weakness cannot be denied
So no longer have we patience to be constrained
Make peace with your creator
‘Cause in the end, only Epics shall remain
Legends alive
Madness doth thrive
Humanity doth wrawl
Epic how we earn new grace as epically you fall!
Know my name!
Know our many faces!
Epics Alive
Epics still thrive
By now, you should remember my name
Oh this world will never be the same…

Miserere
03:51
|
|||
|
No need to ponder what my being desires
Persistent longing for flesh, my only vice
Nothing quells this hunger, humanity afoul
There is no safe haven for I’m always on the prowl
Miserere
They suffer in silence
No words as their tongues are first to go
Redemptive crucifixions
Nails deeper ‘cause you’re bleeding out too slow
I spread my misery, biblically evolved
Bathe in condemnation, with your blood I feel absolved
Some will see the darkness but all will feel the pain
Have no doubt, my precious as your life goes down the drain
They suffer in silence
No words as their tongues are first to go
Redemptive crucifixions
Nails deeper ‘cause you’re bleeding out too slow
Love… This is the face of love
From a rather misanthropic, manly point of view
Hate… I am a mirror, won’t deviate
Reflecting all the angst with pleasure… It’s nothing new
It’s nothing new!

Exercitus Irae
04:01
|
|||
|
Join us for a celebration of purpose
Raise your glasses, hear what we propose
In Nomine Deorum Maximorum
Bless this feast as we fortify
As now begins the battle of all ages
Embrace the fear in our enemy’s eyes
Marching, marching
We’re the victors ‘fore our time
We spread the gospel of the warriors divine
Marching, marching
Felling victims by and by
So sayeth doctrine Exercitus Irae
Oh with a mighty roar they’re falling faster
Despondent infidels clearly in our sights
We move with vigor as our Gods are so demanding
All advancing, rid the earth of all this fucking blight!
From these grapes of wrath come most noble of wine
Sacred libations until the closing of time
Oh the Ancients put strength in our hands
Oh disbelievers they all will be damned!

Since the seventh day the gods all know exactly what I’m thinking
I’m working, I’m working to undue all their harm
I’m working, I’m working, I’m righting all their wrongs
Their resting satisfaction is as worthless as can be
That’s why I’m working, I’m working to reverse their disease
I’m working, I’m working to quell these miseries
My calling
So disturbing
No lamenting
Implement my manifesto
The least of demons laughing as we celebrate this quest come true
Through working and working
I’ll hold them all accountable
I’m working, I’m working
Put an end to those responsible
Though they’ve seen this coming
It’s still alarming
Oh, the great dethroning
Bind them for eternity
Leave no trace
Fueled by fire and Satan’s grace
All are unforgiven
All victims of my manifesto

Scorcher
03:21
|

|
Anti hero of this world
Spread thy wings, destroy
Clear the slate of population
Every implement employ
Scorcher blazing through the sky
Scorching all that’s gone awry
Anything but heaven sent
Scorcher deaf to your repent
Die Die Die Cruelty incomparable
Die Die Die His art of killing so divine
Underground that gifts his skills
Long fermenting his grim will
Clemencies are all denied
Satan laughs as worlds collide
Scorcher blazing through the sky
Scorching all that’s gone awry
Anything but heaven sent
Scorcher deaf to your repent
Die Die Die Cruelty unmistakable
Die Die Die His art of killing so divine
ART OF KILLING SO DIVINE!

Invictus
05:30
|
|||
|
Once in a blue moon comes a man of great conviction
Making his presence boisterously known
He stands strong while others, meek, avert their minds
Steadfast against the subterfuge and lies
Never a challenge comes without being answered
Never a quest too mountainous to scale
No fear of radical confrontations
No paths in which he shant prevail
INVICTUS
Words may come slow but action never will
Millions of eyes that follow are waiting for the thrill
As an unsuspected hero does what he does best
Charging all the prophets, Put them to the test
As gold is their only god whose gleam is designed to blind
The masses are all fodder for greed so well defined
They seek to be almighty through trickery and skill
They may control the narrative but they’ll never
Control his will!
INVICTUS
There’s no force could stymie his drive
Those feeble prophets of old can’t survive
Now provoked, Sir Invictus has shown you the way
With confidence full, undefeated we are sure to remain
Gold is their only god
Gold is their only god
I’ll not be blinded and I’ll never be for sale

Nature's Fangs
03:52
|
|||
|
She nurtures, provides
Through constant – Great divides
Though she wonders – why such strife?
Growing weary of your way of life
She’s giving, giving more and all you do is take
This greed, unflattering could be your last mistake
As the winds of restlessness blowing through he hair
‘tis time reveal her fangs, ‘tis more than she will bear
Too late you realize you bite the hand that feeds
Find no more tolerance for your filthy, novice deeds… No!
Now you’ll feel the hunger pangs
None can survive when Nature shows her gleaming fangs
Her bite is so severe her cares become remote
Injecting poison to which there is no antidote, No!
Oh mother, take them all!
She gave, gave and gave and all you did was take
Your greed so miserable Oh your last mistake
As the winds of restlessness invoke a grave affair
She has revealed her fangs, much more than you can bear
Oh Nature’s gleaming fangs…

Spoils Of War
05:54
|
|||
|
There lies the wretched ruins where castles used to stand
We claim possession o’er everything once grand
This now is sacred soil, anointed by blood’s been shed
Of the countless lambs to slaughter piled amongst the dead
They stood for nothing ‘tis the reason for their fall
Their lowly moral grounding crumbles after all
We caused this purge to happen for reason untoward
Church bell droning in the distance
Chimes… The spoils of war
Away you looters! We have looters of our own
Dhampir out of hibernation are all we will condone
They feed on the flesh of fallen and polish all the bones
Fuel for the greatest pyre and the names shall stay unknown
They stood for nothing, now they don’t stand at all
Lowest of lowly grounding did crumble after all
Oh the sweetest silence… All that we implore
Except that lonely distant bell chiming the spoils of war
These spoils are so delicious, aroma aeternus
Hunger for now extinguished with all they left for us
Those gone were undeserving of the marvelous air we breathe
Dear mother’s soul is smiling o’er the spoils that we retrieved

about
VLTIMAS have been legends since the dawn of metal. Flo Mournier has been drumming for Cryptopsy since their earliest exhumations of the Canadian underground. Rune Eriksen took hold of axe-wielding duties for the second coming of Mayhem. And who could forget David Vincent, the larger-than-life vocalist for Morbid Angel.
But these devils weren’t content with living amongst the gods. Instead, they’ve joined forces as the legendary heroes of the underworld. Their first album as VLTIMAS was greeted with a rapturous procession of devil horns. Something Wicked Marches In was voted album of the year by Zero Tolerance Magazine and BangerTV. “Likely to knock listeners asses to the ground with outlandish brute force”, praised Blabbermouth.
With EPIC, VLTIMAS ascend to even greater Satanic heights. “Miserere” howls across a blackened sky, blistered by tremolo picking that’s more piercing than a siren’s call. True to its name, “Scorcher” is primed for face-melting, with blasts that blaze than a forest fire. “Undefeated, we are sure to remain”, Vincent bellows with ghoulish bravado over the constantly building “Invictus”.
You already know their names, but with EPIC, VLTIMAS are mightier than ever.

Hidden History of the Human Race
by Blood Incantationsupported by 44 fans who also own “EPIC”
An excellent release that significantly improved from their previous albums. Blood Incantation's Hidden History of the Human Race sounds like Covenant-era Morbid Angel, Death, Brutality, Afterbirth, Lykathea Aflame, Atheist, and Cynic had a child. I really enjoy Blood Incantation's lyrical themes, while their name would make one presume they're about the occult or played-out satanic crap, they take a deep dive into the unknown of the cosmos and extraterrestrial beings. Excellent work!
