ArpKor Pure oldschool Death-Thrash!
Stomping drums and violent Guitar riffs like in the old days! Recomanded for fans of Bands like early Death, Dismember, Entombed or Benediction! Im looking forward for more! \m/ Favorite track: The Devils Kiss.

Pasarahzu Paul Kuhr is a kickass musician, and I support anything he does. I highly suggest any work he has done, and hope he continues to be inspired to create more breathtaking vocal masterpieces. Favorite track: The Ash of Wood and Corpse.

Spinebrain I have a tremendous respect for Mr. Paul Kuhr, so when this was released on Bandcamp the decision to buy was a no-brainer.

Thrive! Opportunity grows with staggering pride A hotbed of crime and immorality shines Fear the growth of the masterless working class This frontier town breeds the filth Defiled from mayhem, The growth of this town The stealing of Horseflesh, In common stride Decades to build, expanding the trade The rails bring the villainous way Thrive! Murder for the profit desire Rape to satisfy the deviant mind Theft brings wealth to the lower class Arson to cleanse the cowardly rich Beastly sensuality and darkest crimes Here “The Patches” rule the night Along the river, the common people clash Retribution for their meager days pay All to catapult the con mans game The gamblers sin, the loss of wage Vermin in shadow, stalking their prey A celebrating dance for thievery’s day Wicked is the reputation, Infested with a horde of thieves Burglars, cut throats, bent on misery Who will not hesitate, to burn the city down Pillage, plunder and Murder, a vile underground Lawless souls to be punished by few Thousands bear witness to the hang The first this cities eyes will see Changing the face of the days ahead Thrive! A divine retribution in desperate need Against this modern Sodom and Gomorrah To clean the slate and start a new Create a flame and burn the scum away A bovine tale, from a lanterns glow Summer of draught, dries the mass Streets and sidewalks of wooden plank Stands no chance from hellish wrath Wicked is the reputation, Infested with a horde of thieves Burglars, cut throats, bent on misery Who will not hesitate, to burn the city down Pillage, plunder and Murder, a vile underground Lawless souls to be punished by few Thousands bear witness to the hang The first this cities eyes will see Changing the face of the days ahead Thrive!

No escaping the blazing fury Gliding flames that flow like water Heat destroys and melts the dreams Thousands scream Fleeing rodants, pesants and wise unbiased and unjust, the wall of pain burning flesh, buildings fall scorching all that remains This city burns Waves of fire, tearing through life The devils kiss, with a passion for soul A city stands in natures wrath Burned to the ground, The devil laughs This city burns Panic rains throughout the streets Children screaming for those parents lost Blinding light by fires rancid breath Dancing on the melting flesh Praying can’t help you now No angel of mercy will visit this day Devastated city crackles in fright The beautiful wrath of burning faith No escaping the blazing fury Gliding flames that flow like water Heat destroys and melts the dreams Thousands scream Fleeing rodants, pesants and wise unbiased and unjust, the wall of pain burning flesh, buildings fall scorching all that remains This city burns Waves of fire, tearing through life The devils kiss, with a passion for soul A city stands in natures wrath Burned to the ground, The devil laughs This city burns Praying can’t help you now No angel of mercy will visit this day Devastated city crackles in fright The beautiful wrath of burning faith
