On the eve of the final battle
A company of new recruits
Brand new rifles rattle
Ready to face the heathen brutes
Spirits high for the King Caprine
Glory everlasting, death awaits
Weapons ready down the line
Over the top to meet their fates
World becomes fire
Machine gun nests ahead
Men caught in barbed wire
Torn asunder by a barrage of lead
Private hit by artillery shell
Forced to join the ranks of the dead
Dying in the mud a heap of flesh and broken bones
Attack stopped dead in no man's land
Artillery calm, machine guns reloading
Dispersing fog reveals the fallen band
In the trenches, heathen conscripts gloating
Twisted and torn by machines of war
All the men dead or slowly dying
Mud turned red from the seeping gore
Silence only broken by the wounded crying
On these fields of dying
A caprine figure appear
Corpses multiplying
Seeing carnage as the smoke clears
Mangled dead are rising
Vow their first born to the KING
The company arisen charges on, led by the king Caprine
Onwards for the Goat King
Attack the heathen trench
Stick grenades go flying
Their bloodlust they shall quench
Righteous violence amplifying
Time for glorious revenge
Weapons ready, fix bayonets and tear them all to shreds
Righteous violence
Mighty army of the Goat King
Defeat the heathens
For the glory of the Goat King
Righteous violence
Mighty army of the Goat King
Defeat the heathens
For the glory of the Goat King
Trenches fill with mayhem
Knives tear through human bone
For the Goat King, slay them!
Let their defeat be known
Laudate Caprinum Regem
Crush the heathens to the stone
Victory is near, push through, reload and kill them all
Looking back, devoid of doubt
Soldiers lay broken in trenches of defeat
Spitefully watching the wounded bleed out
Glory of victory, bittersweet
Never mind the putrid stench of death
Further up ahead the capitol awaits
Carry on, revoke the heathen’s breath
For the Goat King, break through the gates
Righteous violence
Mighty army of the Goat King
Defeat the heathens
For the glory of the Goat King
Righteous violence
Mighty army of the Goat King
Defeat the heathens
For the glory of the Goat King
Look at them now
What do they want?
And what do they do now?
Nothing at all!
What do they know?
What do they think?
And who do they tell?
Well, no one at all!
Lives are truely meaningless
And we are busy being blessed
With all that we can take and pocket
No one needs to know
We're is the plug and they're the socket
Give us the juice and we'll go
Can't you hear the choir now?
Listen to the animals sing!
Can't you hear the slaughterhouse bells?
In the land of the pigs the butcher is king!
In the land of the pigs the butcher is king!
How do they sleep?
Their lives are so tart
Bring me the trash collectors
Cause they're nothing but trash
What do you expect?
They've got no standards
So we lower the bar
Cause they're waiting for us
We'll open up Pandora's Box
Pandora gave her keys and locks
They're the big dogs waiting for their mother
Come to the confessional
So I can tell you all to bugger off
There's no time like now!
Can't you hear the choir now?
Listen to the animals sing!
Can't you hear the slaughterhouse bells?
In the land of the pigs the butcher is king!
Can't you hear the choir now?
Listen to the market-place sing!
Can't you hear the slaughterhouse bells?
In the land of the pigs the butcher is king!
In the land of the pigs the butcher is king...
And we'll do it our way
It's our time to play
We know what to say
They stand in our way
Don't stand in our way
No time like today...
Can't you hear the choir now?
Listen to the anthems we sing!
Can't you hear the slaughterhouse bells?
In the land of the pigs the butcher is king!
Can't you hear the choir now?
Listen to the animals sing!
Can't you hear the slaughterhouse bells?
In the land of the pigs the butcher is king!
Can't you hear the choir now?
Listen to the chosen ones sing!
Can't you hear the slaughterhouse bells?
In the land of the pigs the butcher is king!
In the land of the pigs the butcher is king!
In the land of the pigs the butcher is king!
In the land of the pigs the butcher is king...

Merci Déhà for the download code. Lots of bands use these ingredients – pretty female vocals over doomy guitars always sounds good, but usually that's where the ideas run out. That isn't the case here. Each song is packed with ideas and evolutions, genres and references it's boring to list but not at all to listen to. A pleasure to have been introduced to this. Luke

Have only listened to the first three tracks so far. Somehow the indie/grunge/funereal/doom elements meld together well. Well worth a listen! 😁
Update - couldn't stop listening. No weak tracks. Music that won't stand still, but holds up well throughout. My favourite non-electronic release for some time. Thanks so much for the code! 😎 Rinchen Choesang
