Hahahahahahhhhhh...the plague shall consume thee all!!!
So many different influences here...Decapitated, Extreme Noise Terror,
Nile, Nevermore, Testament, Cannibal Corpse, Dew Scented, Aborted,
Desecration, Pungent Stench...the list goes on. It's better than just
being influenced by one band anyway :) Makes for somethinhg a bit more
original IMO.
The guitar sounbd has once again changed (no surprise there then), except
this time it's real distortion and not a digital effect :) The pathway
here is entirely analogue until it hits the soundcard; I just bought a
Marshall Valvestate 100V (Model 8100) head. For this sound, I took the FX
loop out from the head, through my RockTek EQ pedal into my Park combo (I
don't have a 4x12" at the moment) then into my mic. Hence why the sound
is a lot tighter and more 'realistic' IMO. It's a great amp, and Chuck
Schuldiner used to use one, so I have no complaints :) If it's good enough
for Chuck, it's good enough for me :)
The music just went a bit weird here...like there are LOTS of polyrhythmic
and weird time signature parts where I just went off on a mission to find
out how much I could fuck with your heads using the drums ;) As a result,
it's turned out a bit progressive. Which I like :)
As for the vocals...well, they were fun to do :) I've been wanting to do
some Obituary-style gutpuking vocals for a long time now, but just never
found the right song where they fitted in. All my gore stuff was mostly
too brutal; it kinda required sub-growling gurgles and stuff. But this
fits quite well. There's also some of my best ever screams and growls in
here...I'm quite proud of this one. Better than Forth From The Bowels by a
long way IMO.
All guitarz and vox by me
Drums by various ppl, all EQ'd by me
Bass by Stygian, Eq'd by me

Nergal was an ancient god of war and plague. 'Nuff said.
Nerrrrgggaallllll...
Yeeuuurrgh...
Spread the disease far and wide
Rise the empire of the rotten
All under a putrid sky
A stinking tribute to decay
Disseminate the plague
Fester in the corners...
[Chorus:]
Son of Nergal
God of plague
You hatched from his womb
Born to decay
Turmoil inside boiling guts
Metamorphosis takes place
Host crawls away to die
In the knowledge that it's task is done
Disseminate the plague
Fester in the corners...
[chorus]
A menace to humanity
Existence made of slime and snot
Urgh...
I will corrupt your flesh
Urgh...
In the name of my father
[repeat verse 1]
[chorus]
[solo]
Yahhh...
