David Fischer That's a well-established bass if I've ever heard one! While the sound (especially the guitars) is a tad too modern and polished for my taste, this comes with the benefit ov hearing the trvest intrument ov them all march and rumble over the riffs, accentuating them in an enjoyable way. The whole rhythm section is thriving, with the drums too being ever-present and sitting pretty in the middle ov the mix. What better way to celebrate the day ov the most important crucifixion in history? Favorite track: Messenger of God.

No escape from the hunt The inquisition has begun Unjust methods of extraction The work of a masochist Forgive us our trespasses The words of wisdom Satan be banished In mortality the spell can be broken A familiar in league with a witch A covenant with the devil Confess to your crimes A trial by gallows Release the host As I am your Saviour Now you must leave Return the flesh to Christ Read aloud our scripture The Lord's Prayer must be heard Confess to your foul crimes Release the host As I am your Saviour Now you must leave Return the flesh to Christ Hang The witch Forgive us our trespasses The words of wisdom Satan be banished Only in mortality can the spell be broken

From beyond the fields she hails Eerie voices echo Hateful whispers in the night The coven bathes In the twilight The sabbat gathers Devising malevolent plans To pervert my Christian faith Paranoia overwhelms me My Lord protect me Renounce this manifestation Banished into Hell I am your servant I hear them call my name I am cursed Evil channelled towards me A spirit sent to destroy In my chamber the Bear takes form My Lord protect me Renounce this manifestation Banished into Hell I am your servant I hear them call my name I am cursed This wretched beast, towers before me The face of evil incarnate Lord protect me I am your servant I hear them call my name I am cursed by Black Witchery

I despise bastard-bearers Wenches birthing demonic spawn Dark familiars, inhuman! Released from a hellish tomb. Malevolent force be gone Invoke the dogma of Christ I enforce the Witchfinder Law I can feel the icy grip of the anti-God Starvation claims our young Dead in the Frozen Fen Malevolent force be gone Invoke the dogma of Christ I enforce the Witchfinder Law I witness the pain of the populace It will not consume me I am protector of the east I enforce the Witchfinder Law

Destiny brought me to this place A Messenger Of God To extract confessions of heresy and witchcraft Rid the land of this plague Evil shall not triumph Rise up in the eradication of the foul Coven Head bowed in penance The Lord has spoken Speak ill of Christ And suffer the consequences You allowed the beast To suckle at your teat In league with Satan Cancer at the heart of the Kingdom Corrupting holy ways Duty bound to purge the filth To restore the faith Your bear his markings Prick the flesh Expose the lies Has the devil had use of your body I demand to know Which form did he appear Do not lie to me I will make you speak the truth Or you die a traitor You shall be burnt at the stake Until flesh is stripped from bone Ashes scattered to the wind Long may you Suffer

about

‘Hellfenlic’ focuses on the horrific murder and persecution of so-called Witches perpetrated by the Puritan Church in The Infernal Sea’s native East Anglia. Twisted tales are told through the eyes of the famously barbaric and influential Witchfinder General, Matthew Hopkins.
