Weight of Night In your creation At the dawn of time When you sang and swayed With a beauty, divine Many ships did pass And the fires burned For an evil path You've always yearned "Take me higher, set me free” “Take me higher, Lord set me free" Mind-bending void Frozen in time Has sealed your lips and cloaked your eyes Greed has brought you here Our world unraveling, a hopeless sphere A fool is he Who cannot see The snakes are writhing among the grass Death is always near Death is always near Our world unraveling, a hopeless sphere And in your demise Though you learned to love Your indulgence was Placed always above Oh, we sacrificed To have your sins cast off But to no avail You will bear your cross In this evil You can see no light You were born to worship At His right Satan's child Our unholy rite Forever burdened By the Weight of Night

Slave 05:26
Slave We proceed to the mountain We've come to give you the gold For we're a desperate people There's nothing in our bones We are addicts of lust Our thirst knows no bounds We're the beasts of Noon, yes we are Savage slaves to the crown, yeah! Our sacred Son Our sacred rite Your Holy killer Out burning bright Lead us Noonward Toward cosmic ends There is no hope But we'll pretend
3.
The Hunt 11:08
The Hunt She has destroyed our souls This midnight witch hunt grows Join this clan of spite, A witch will die tonight Sharpen your axe Our final descent at last Lick your lips Give her just one last kiss We’ve got the witch The High is ours We’ve got the witch

about

Reviews:

"...we are treated to a riff fest of gigantic proportions as the hoary music lifts up a tempo into a monolithic sound of pure doom. It’s as if the seat of popular culture has been torn apart and The Munsens are ripping a hole through the fabric." - ECHOES AND DUST

"...side one’s “Slave” is the most decidedly Iommic...but both “Weight of Night” and side two’s 11-minute “The Hunt” boast the root influence as well, though the latter is invariably a standout for its crawling progression, almost Pallbearer-esque." - THE OBELISK

"The growling yet mystical vocals sound like they come from a bottomless abyss, dusty crypt or deep dark pit. The guitars howling and wailing and bass progression that sounds so ominous it should almost be forbidden. Bleak cymbals and crashing toms, hail the coming of something shadowy and evil." - STONER HIVE

"These songs trudge forward with an incredible weight and sense of momentum, it feels almost as if you're trapped under a collapsing building, and with every passing minute you get closer to your death." - TWO GUYS METAL REVIEWS

"...what makes it even better is the group's way with their riffs, loaded with slow-growling doom while keeping the beat rolling along, savoring the sludgy slabs, and cranking up the assault when the time is right." - RIDE WITH THE DEVIL
