Steimin Great Work Brother! You are the future of Metal! Can't wait to play a show together! Favorite track: The Frog.

BoneWalker Absolutely crushing debut! Grozov return after their '20 demo with a nice, thrashy power metal album that sounds VERY promising! Not only riffs but also really interesting ideas in the songwriting, some solid, interesting rhythm-section and ideal vocals! Favorite track: Bedeviled.

RATMAN Oh man, the good old days...
seems they are not forgotten.

Proto-Thrash...yes, that nails it!

PKMetal I'm not big on thrash, but I love the rare beast called proto-thrash, and that's what I'd call this. Riffs, vocals, leads, and songwriting are all 10/10. The awesomely crazy lyrics fit the music perfectly.

I hope a label snags these guys for a follow-up (and remasters this bad boy along the way)!

In closing, never forget: "You have the power to thrash!"

Lament 01:32
I remember those ancient days. Before the shining splendor of our beautiful home was extinguished, replaced by this endless nightmare. Yet remnants of our past lie, hiding in plain sight. There only for those with the will to seek its beauty. In this wounded world, anyone who wishes may find magic. Never has it been just fantasy. It has always been real. And so it shall be evermore.

The Frog 04:41
The stars aligned reveal the chosen disciple of sin Your soul belongs to me and my malevolent kin You've passed our wicked test and retained your sanity Our game, your claim to our world You risked it all by your wits and your blade Your reward is power, spells, and knowledge arcane The Frog, your ancient lord, he's one of mine Our proboscis lies deep within his hollow mind Our cult has spread its wings and flown to all parts of the world You knew us true You risked it all by your wits and your blade Your reward is power, spells, and knowledge arcane

Lür 04:25
Crawling through dungeons like a rat trapped in a cage No hiding the horror in your eyes Closed in your tomb, your life drawing to an end You beg for your false god to save you Claustrophobic, diabolical place of evil magic The cold ground leeches All of your will to fight your death My ancient blade was wrought by masters from forgotten lands Touching your flesh disgraces it, I'll kill you with my hands Feel my rotting hands upon your face Black blood stains your pallid eyes As you succumb to death's embrace Your flesh becoming mine Feel the cracking of your skull Before the soporific pull (of Lür) You are, no more, a man Your knowledge seeping through my hands My father's mission for me was made crystal clear Infect this gentle world with misery and fear The second step is slaying you, son of the king Apocalyptic end of days my will shall bring Feel my rotting hands upon your face Black blood stains your pallid eyes As you succumb to death's embrace Your flesh becoming mine Feel the cracking of your skull Before the soporific pull You are, no more, a man Your knowledge seeping through my hands

Two eyes gazing, crimson, out from the trees Portals to the realm of the undead Leeching the warmth from the very air Making your whole body feel like lead Black hood, pale skin, with a withered face Gliding limbless, leaving a trail of lies It is not real, banish it from your mind Don't fall to the spell of the Phantom Guise How came you by this? This scepter should not be held by mortal men My eyes deceive me For reasons that you do not understand This plane should be safe Secure from entrance by those controlled by him He swore to shield us But the light of our Guardian is growing dim It cannot be Staring this specter in the eye Soulless black holes Reflections of the midnight sky I've never lost a duel, I've never known the feel Of fighting for my life against a blade of flaming steel I've never seen a man disintegrate in front of my eyes (It's what the wizard spoke of) The Phantom Guise I've stared into the face of death with my sabre in hand, shaking with fear But I've never let my enemy into my very mind, none have come near The Wizard conjures spirits that spring from the murky depths of tortured minds All of your darkest memories are manifested for you to find The weak-minded fools of her majesty The cretins who guard the Queen's hall Now lie in a mangled gore monolith Having been slain by nothing at all Fear not, heroes with minds impenetrable Ride forth! Take his head as a prize Just know, legions have torn themselves apart They fell to the spell of the Phantom Guise This is your last chance The pair of demonic eyes is drawing near Summon your courage You'll be torn to shreds if you give into fear The woods turn blood-red Your home is defiled by his necrotic spell Your mind tormented Living in a long suspended state of hell It cannot be Staring this specter in the eye Soulless black holes Reflections of the midnight sky I've never lost a duel, I've never known the feel Of fighting for my life against a blade of flaming steel I've never seen a man disintegrate in front of my eyes (It's what the wizard spoke of) The Phantom Guise I've never lost a duel, I've never known the feel Of fighting for my life against a blade of flaming steel I've never seen a man disintegrate in front of my eyes (It's what the wizard spoke of)

The sorcerer awakens hordes of undead An ancient magic practiced with foul intent Corpses defiled and forced to obey the Necromancer and his hideous way A gruesome moaning is heard from afar The townsfolk realize, too late, what they are The town is overcome with carcasses foul The Necromancer will not break his vow

Land of Insanity, constructed in discord among the Gods at the birth of the world From their dark fantasies, this vile place emerged Unable to bury their twisted dark desires A scorching red desert filled with demented evil beings is what became Right at the edge of the world Trapped in a torturous game of their own design Within this vicious cycle They dismantled their own minds and bore their wrath upon the human beings A curse on all of mankind Men of the earth knew the Gods planned to change the world at large They took up arms and declared war upon their overlords They were destroyed in a blaze of hellfire and evil spells Survivors of the bloodbath lost their sanity And turned into abominations, losing all their memories Land of insanity, a haven of demons Devoid of all that is good in the world A scar on the earth's face, a battle souvenir The spine of the world sits between our world and theirs and is all that separates us from this hell Right at the edge of the world Descendants of the Gurách laugh as they will never again be subject to justice warranted at my hand!

Bedeviled 06:39
You cannot see me But you know I'm there Eons of horrors lie Behind my cold stare Eyes blood-red from weeping And the urge to slay She's warped my will My soul abhors this violence I suffer, still My prayers are met by silence I call upon The ancient lords of Grávan To smite this whore This concubine of Grozov My soul is weak A shell of a man I have become Supplanted by Lies For centuries I have been tortured At the hands of my eternal wife Felt my flesh disintegrating off of my bones Forced to drink from the goblet of life None hear my cries Just let me die I'm forced to kill By the most evil thing under the sky Defiled, polluted I want this all to end This evil compulsion Has overtaken me My memories are altered I know not foe from friend My vision corrupted Truth I no longer see This woman has left me Broken and disheveled Foul evil runs through her Now I am Bedeviled Fall upon my crystal knife Feel your blood spill You will be consumed By something fouler still As my love strips off her clothes Baring pale skin I know I must not Succumb and let her win This woman has left me Broken and disheveled Foul evil runs through her Now I am Bedeviled

The wizard's spell made you emerge Born in primordial stone where fire and light converge Your father is a spirit of flame Your mother, a volcano Powerthrash! Insanity overload Powerthrash! Ready to explode Powerthrash! Lightning runs through your veins Son of a god Conceived in hell Lift the curse, and break the spell Break the spell Free your people from His hands Slave to no master You are the Powerthrasher Powerthrasher Volcanic doom approaches fast The gods will feel their flesh melt, trapped in molten cast Immortality is yours alone You are a lord of Metal now! Powerthrash! Insanity overload Powerthrash! Ready to explode Powerthrash! Lightning runs through your veins You are the Powerthrasher! You have the Power to Thrash! Son of a god Conceived in hell Lift the curse, and break the spell Break the spell Free your people from His hands Slave to no master You are the Powerthrasher Powerthrasher You! Are! The! POWERTHRASHER!
