Surmounting divinity - devastate All who oppose our might. Crushing, prevailing, defeating Their icons trampled deep beneath Souls full of loathing - hatred Unfold a path of ruination Seeking abolishment of their Malevolent idolatry Destroying what was once so pure Now tainted by the blight of man Dethroning you, the seers of lies The righteous fall; a dogma despised. A sanctum that once was of holiness Is ravaged now and gone forever (Their) doctrines of savagery are ripped and torn Beheld as an abomination Sodomized and lacerated - no sympathy for Preachers of contemptuous nature Writhing in the feculence of a veneration that Sermonizes fabrication. Abhorrence for a faith so false Treacherous tongues are severed and burnt Witness here this temple of deceit No more shall we bow; their fall is nigh. Tyrants, see them crawl Cowering, groveling, bending unto our will Scriptures of blasphemous ways Forsaken, admonished, forever to burn in Hell End of imperious reign Topple their altars and celebrate agony. Hail forth a cleansing dawn Void of religion’s unyielding sycophants. Rise To dethrone The pious Righteousness now dead Their hypocrisy Now revoked Sanctity is now quelled.

FLAMES - your world engulfed The blade of my dagger serrates your skin Subject to extreme divinity As the fire consumes all of your kin TORTURED - on the altars of a fallen god With the legions poised to attack A book of lies won’t save you now As flames consume you, filthy rat Stained glass melting all around The embers of the church are raining DOWN- we have come to rid your savior out from this world BURN - those who swear allegiance to a leader of illusion SMITE- we are heralds of the new found absolution. Spoiling and raiding the dominion of the holy ones Pestiferous and rancid - wretched waste of skin. Sordid and horrid these walking ignited dead. Suffering and crying - pleading for an end to life. Chapels are burned and the worship has ceased. None shall be spared as we tear this fucking world apart. You are the ones we’ve despised for so long. Languish in terror for this is our will. HORDES - swarming, wasting the weak. SCOURGE - wrought upon the altars of GOD - withering in decay. Seething with madness we start to arise Banners of hate - beneath you shall die CRUSHED - cast down beneath the earth DAMNED - aimless in the afterlife LOST - far beyond all the light VOID - Insidious love EXTIRPATED MUTILATED Scream in torment - father save us Prayers unanswered all for naught Pain and fire shape the future As your gods lie in rot.

Carnage awakes, the dawn of man - void of life Nexus of oblivion - nevermore Mortal coil, decompose - dead and gone Moving towards the darkened sphere Banishment of life Awaken to destruction of - humanity All consuming agony - fatality Conception of eternity - has begun With subversion of our kind Cycle of life Eternal rest Struggling to find a way - to survive Denial of a living hell - stupefied Failure to comprehend - thus shall be From now till eternity Plague of man Race of the wretched Spawn of the damned Execute this destitute land Corrode the innards of sanctity’s ways Absolve me of filth and release me now unto the sun.

about

Cruelty Exalted debut EP featuring members of Calcemia, Invidiosus, Amiensus, Ancestral Awakening, and Skulls.

"I think it’s the way the group blends and pairs ideas from different death metal era's together that makes the songs here feel so fresh. At the same time, the ruthless nature of the EP is coupled with an almost progressive death metal element rising up at times that makes the music here richer and more memorable as a result beyond being a blind display of warped vicious technical death metal." -Austin Weber, Metal Injection
