lyrics

The drones swarm upon thee as my disciples are restored of life!
Boiling with anticipation to erase their coalition.
“Revive me, free me,”
Lambent form ruthless attrition,
To kill them all is their ambition.

Thine healing tomes melodious, reviving those who pledge their service.
Resuscitate, save me!
Boiling with anticipation to erase their coalition.
“Perish hopeless ground-feeder,”
Bludgeoning and severing, the horde are cleansing for their leader.
“Arise, kill the humans!”
Boiling with anticipation to erase their coalition.

“Perish! ground-feeder!”
Lord Kantus, O’ Messiah,
Sing your tomes and bless us with thine holiness!
Melodic rapture, prophetic pariah,
You’ve come to heal as you ridicule my lowliness!

Singing her deific incantations,
The Kantus becomes a god.
She reigns over the impure and the faithful,
From her palace above!

Thine healing tomes melodious,
She now composes a glorious arrangement.
She reigns over the impure and the faithful,
From her palace above!

Bless them, messiah!

Of Sunless Realms
by Inferi

supported by 26 fans who also own “The Palace of the Kantus”

Since Spenser Moore replaced Blackburn I’ve frankly appreciated Inferi far more. I feel that his drumming improves the overall sound of the band a great deal, but it’s probably just a personal style preference. Either way, Of Sunless Realms was a great foreshadowing of the epic Vile Genesis. Metallurgical Fire

Bleed the Future
by Archspire

supported by 25 fans who also own “The Palace of the Kantus”

First WTF was google music actually throwing something good into my feed. Second WTF was everything every goddamn member of this band does. This and the previous album have been on repeat for weeks. All other music tastes like diet water. Help. Gruso

Of Rot and Ruin
by Hath

supported by 25 fans who also own “The Palace of the Kantus”

An eclectic but incredibly well-integrated blend of traditional death metal, melodeath, black metal, progressive, and even a bit of folk (with the added bonus of audible and tasty bass guitar). The album has a consistent, pulverizing momentum punctuated by the rare acoustic passage or catchy chorus/refrain. Overall an unbelievably mature first offering from an up-and-coming band to watch.

You know when a song's chorus or hook just really hits the spot, right in the pocket? This album is 45 minutes of that. 🤘 mgoldmanmgoldman
