"Who is going to save the world tonight?"
"I raise my hands to heaven for curiosity. I don't know what to ask for. What has it got for me. The others say we're hiding. It's as forward as can be. Some things I do for money, some things I do for free."
"Override the overture Behold the overwhelming power Trampled and fucking mangled By the hordes of terror The process of death is our fate to be From the skies blood drips like rain Tell me how I sufferm tell me how I'll die My arms stretched out in eternal pain The life that we knew drowned in the stream of death The agony within tears my worthless being Crushed by the blasphemous horror inside Enter a world beyond this fucking global tomb Mesmerized by the visions of things past and gone My death arrives My fate to be it must be done Laid to rest Shut my eyes Live no more Die a countless times To the burial ground Our flesh are bound Our souls will live on With the powers beyond At the end, I'm still so cold inside Once again, I would like to share my memories of life Show me the realm where nothing dies If such a place exists, please guide my eyes"
"Slowly slicing your body Wondering what's inside A psychopath addicted to flesh Now I'm taking your life Hacking through your organs Constantly watching your eyes I gotta see in your mind What happens when you die Bleed for me, Let me see you suffer Die for me, I love to hear you scream Dreaming of a death so violent Sanity is draining from me I'm forced to murder and slaughter By the visions in my head Laughiung as you die Please make me stop If blood is what it takes Then I'll just let it flow"
"As I become one with the earth My soul has passed the rebirth In this world I leave my flesh to rot No regrets, this is my lot Ashes to ashes Dust to dust Dark recollections of my past life Memories haunt me in black 'n' white Divine death now descends Burning as my existence ends In death I will fall asleep Floating deep From dying heaven To living hell A travel through ancient times Witness only what the dead shall see Walk among the dead As my body's still on my death bed In death I will fall asleep Floating deep From dying heaven To living hell"
"Candlemass are synonymous with the doom metal genre and, in particular, for coining the phrase "epic doom metal”."
"Sweden's Candlemass helped reintroduce the lumbering power chords of Black Sabbath to an entire generation of post-New Wave of British Heavy Metal and post-thrash metalheads, almost single-handedly writing the handbook for the modern doom metal movement in the process. Emerging in 1986 with the landmark Epicus Doomicus Metallicus -- the LP helped coin the genre -- the band issued four more influential albums before ceasing operations in 1994."
"In a musical realm where scale of influence has little to do with commercial success, few originators of the extreme metal arts evoke as deep a sense of mystery, or incite such hushed, reverential tones of admiration, as Sweden's Bathory. Essentially a one-man operation helmed by the mysterious Quorthon, Bathory's development from the rawest form of embryonic black metal, to thrash, death, and back to its self-devised Viking-themed black metal, has mirrored and regularly defined the genre's very evolution. Indeed, along with Switzerland's Celtic Frost, Germany's Kreator, and Denmark's Mercyful Fate, they easily qualify as one the most important European extreme metal acts of the '80s and '90s."
"Meshuggah is probably one of the heaviest and most brutal bands of all time. A lot of that is due to Mårten Hagström and his huge sound and riffs. It's really scary what comes out of his 8-string Ibanez."
"You’d be hard pressed to find a group as original as ABBA. [...] ABBA songs are defined by the combination of their unique harmonies and feel good songwriting, but perhaps most importantly, showcase their original production and recording processes."
