Enter the Ceremony of Damnation

by Gods & Punks

Harry Harrison Coming straight out of the gates, this outing reminded me of Demonic Death Judge but ‘Welcome to the Ceremony’ adds Floydian guitar and Sabbath like percussion to the mix. To keep things entertaining and fresh, the styles and influences continue to change throughout the album. There’s even glimpses of Punk Rock and I also hear inspiration from Judas Priest. Again, an excellent album with a fusion of influences. Favorite track: Welcome to the Ceremony.

Fuzzrious Fan Heavy and Fuzzy guitars tone, just grabbed this band last year and I've been hearing their sound over and over! Brasil gives us the best materials! Favorite track: Welcome to the Ceremony.

Marcin Wielewski Permanently amazing! It's a pity that the band changed sound into proto-doom, but this quality is worth it!!! Favorite track: From Sand to Throne.

Welcome to the Ceremony Step inside the tomb Ruins of an ancient doom Chambers of forgotten lands Buried by the weight of sand For some meaning to life You refuse to enlight As the greatest of lies Fills your mind with delight Witness the gatherings of the choir Summoned by pain, enchained by fear Worship the light or burn in fire Rejoice the turning of the gear As for one sacrifice We gave all of our lives Sold our souls and minds Sold all of our kind
3.
From Sand To Throne The oceans Play you a symphony These warm notes Keep you ashore Emotions Distort reality The echoes Deafen your mind A heartbeat Heard from a mountain top It shows there Might be a way No oxygen left in your lungs No space to stay alive A Simple molecule of life Would open up your eyes A love song made for myself I need it more than anyone else You climbed the latter so far from home Took every chance, held on each bone So just so you know, You made it baby From sand to throne
4.
Blood Moon Sky Unworthy lives Shallow inside We’re bones and meat So full of pride And in the night Cursed by the light You feel it rise The Blood Moon Sky Your worst companion resides Deep in the depths of your mind Your greatest fear it grows Like poison roots in your soul Between dimensions these black holes collide Breaking resistance, melting mankind Heaviest clouds and the rise of the tide Washing away all the hate in our eyes
5.
Transparent Chains When I look outside I see claws and fangs Cybernetic fiends Beasts with many names Locked within a cage Trapped inside my head As the walls cave in Like they never had Plastic fantasies Show me how my life Ruined by my greed What you said was right Locked within a cage Trapped inside my head As the walls cave in Like they never had These transparent dreams Deal you real pain Blocked by clear lines With transparent chains Listen to me I don’t know what you see But I know that something isn’t right Shivering cold And mouldering fire It ain’t dark but I can’t see no light Letting my life drift away Letting the light slowly fade Nothing has changed all has stayed the same Locked within a cage Trapped inside my head As the walls cave in Like they never had These transparent dreams Deal you real pain Blocked by clear lines With transparent chains

The Gearlord 05:27
The Gearlord You steer the wheel I tell you when to turn I got the fuel And the gun And when you think you’re shining Look to the sun It ain’t no miracle How’d you think this baby runs? The leash is long enough So you’ll forget The chains are heavy Like solid led The motor’s running But the engine’s dead Cause I planted my idea Right inside your head

Damnation 06:52
Damnation A chilling cold through the open door Just like a call to the endless void That was before the first thing you recall To ashes flames of which you were before We will all putrificate Embrace your doom, accept your fate Damnation, damnation There is no judgement after all is gone No one to point out who was right or wrong There is no plan, to coffins from the womb A life in vain that ends inside of a tomb We will all putrificate Embrace your doom, accept your fate Damnation, damnation Soon everyone you know is gone Like as you had never been born With all your story left behind Decayed by the putred hands of time Meat and bones and nothing else Blood and veins held by a spine Made unique just like the rest Destined to decay with time Soon everyone you know is gone Like as you had never been born With all your story left behind Decayed by the putred hands of time

about

We step out of the desert, into the tombs. Enter the Ceremony of Damnation is the result of a year of extensive composing and recording, with "how could we top Dunes?" echoing through our minds as we explored every aspect of our sound in the twelve tracks we put together throughout these twelve months.

So we chose eight of these songs - the ones we found fit best into the context of an album - to presentyou the next chapter of our Voyage series. The songs are more straight to the point, the lyrics are more personal and our influences are everywhere: In the bluesy doom of Welcome to the Ceremony, the progressive (almost indie) groove of Transparent Chains, the Rushtastic instrumental Stop the Clocks, or the punch-in-the-teeth, Damnation. Turn your stereo to the max, roll one up and hit play.
