lyrics

When the darkness arises in the east
And the stars align
The conflux of equilibrium is ruined

Six black figures
outlined against a blood red sky
Their chant arises as sacrifices
are made upon an altar wreathed in flame

Summoner
Spill the blood and speak the words
Conjurer
Cast the bones, reveal the curse

At the black gates of Antioch
Invoke the ancient rites of summoning

As you peer into the burning void
Unleash the chaos
Incipit maelstrom
A vortex of black devastation

Six anointed blades
Pierce the sacrificial lamb
The two headed serpent crawls forth
As the sightless child is born

Arcane seer
Prophet of the netherwhere
Emissary of the profane
Ungodly ruler insane

From dimensions of pure malevolence
Formless shapes are falling
Non-euclidean chimeras
Descend without a warning

Summoner
Spill the blood and speak the words
Conjurer
Cast the bones, reveal the curse

At the black gates of Antioch
Invoke the ancient rites of summoning

When the darkness arises in the east
And the stars align
The two headed serpent crawls forth
Unleash the chaos

At the black gates
We stand
At the black gates
We fall

about

Throne of Heresy Mjölby, Sweden

Beginning in 2009 as a thrash/death metal act, Throne of Heresy have continuously evolved and expanded their sound since the debut "Stench of Deceit".

Sophomore outing "Antioch" featured a much darker sound than before, which the band has built on for their latest release; the concept album "Decameron", out on November 3 2017. Listen to it in full here on Bandcamp!
