lyrics
Blackness of night to the realm of the dead, I follow the trail of the damned
Funeral pyres light the path, coal black earth descend to the underworld
Eternal damnation of souls...I hold in my hands the keys
Damnation, creation to cross the river Styx and dwell in the land beyond
Demons and angels, temptation basking in the flames of purgatory
Procession of death eternities unknown drawn into the dark abyss
As one with the gods cast mortality aside and command the fires to rise
Agony and pain of the tortured souls eternity hellish domain
Ghoulish beasts feast on bones and blood
obscene visions descend to the underworld
The eternal damnation of souls...in the cauldron of death you shall suffer
Passing through the gates recitation of spells to rule in the land of the dead
Witness the chaos of paradox the afterlife’s secrets revealed
Minions of death at my command enforcing the curse of my wrath
Souls made to writhe in the pain of fire, I am the god of the dead
Shadows cast by blinding black light, whispering chants of the priests
Funeral rites at the moment of death, spirits depart and fall to the underworld
Eternal damnation of souls...I hold in my hands the keys
I have become the master - Heaven is on its knees - I command your torment - bathing in rivers of blood-devouring the souls - eternity of terror - insanity takes hold - as you fall into the flames(x2)
Damnation, creation to cross the river Styx and dwell in the land beyond
Demons and angels, temptation basking in the flames of purgatory
Procession of death eternities unknown drawn into the dark abyss
As one with the gods cast mortality aside and command the fires to rise
Blackness of night to the realm of the dead, I follow the trail of the damned
Funeral pyres light the path, coal black earth descend to the underworld
The eternal damnation of souls... you shall suffer!!
Funeral pyres light the path, coal black earth descend to the underworld
Eternal damnation of souls...I hold in my hands the keys
Damnation, creation to cross the river Styx and dwell in the land beyond
Demons and angels, temptation basking in the flames of purgatory
Procession of death eternities unknown drawn into the dark abyss
As one with the gods cast mortality aside and command the fires to rise
Agony and pain of the tortured souls eternity hellish domain
Ghoulish beasts feast on bones and blood
obscene visions descend to the underworld
The eternal damnation of souls...in the cauldron of death you shall suffer
Passing through the gates recitation of spells to rule in the land of the dead
Witness the chaos of paradox the afterlife’s secrets revealed
Minions of death at my command enforcing the curse of my wrath
Souls made to writhe in the pain of fire, I am the god of the dead
Shadows cast by blinding black light, whispering chants of the priests
Funeral rites at the moment of death, spirits depart and fall to the underworld
Eternal damnation of souls...I hold in my hands the keys
I have become the master - Heaven is on its knees - I command your torment - bathing in rivers of blood-devouring the souls - eternity of terror - insanity takes hold - as you fall into the flames(x2)
Damnation, creation to cross the river Styx and dwell in the land beyond

Procession of death eternities unknown drawn into the dark abyss
As one with the gods cast mortality aside and command the fires to rise

Funeral pyres light the path, coal black earth descend to the underworld
The eternal damnation of souls... you shall suffer!!

Who doesn't know about Rogga and his phenomenal output of swedeath? It has to be acknowledged that he doesn't put out any bad songs and is capable to hold up the tension. Not only that, je eben manages to increase the intensity of his works.

never been a big death metal fan but this is actually super accessible for the genre, has fun concepts, and personally i'm always a fan of albums with short tracklists and huge runtimes (for individual songs) Great time, good jumping on point for newbies too.

Sacraments of Descension
by PERDITION TEMPLEsupported by 9 fans who also own “Keys to the Underworld (2018 Single)”
Whirlwind storm of razor-sharp riffs that always leaves me interested to hear what insanity Gene will play on guitar next. Despite the plethora of twists and turns found in the songwriting here I can’t find a single weak riff on the entire album. Easily as technical as many Tech Death bands while still maintaining the old school menace, Perdition Temple reaches the upper echelon of today’s underground death metal.
