1.	The Scent of Sulphur 05:03	lyrics	buy track
THE SCENT OF SULPHUR Lost love burning through my head. Itching to find a way out Like you won't believe. Dont try to catch me with your vacant gaze Cause I know, You're fucking dead to me. Falling, bereaved of foresight. Dead to me. With a tombstone inscribed You're fucking dead to me. Souless Vessel with no guide. Bereft of all intelligence. As it grew from inside, Narcissism beguiled. Left you unreconciled. Life, secluded self subversions lead the wicked to unfold A nonexistent divide your thoughts opposed. Biding your time as you slowly wither away Your words now mean nothing. You call out for your reckoning. Behold, Diminishing, The mighty have fallen. This sickening parasite. Breakdown the walls of trepidation. Where desolation resides. Your foul lies, Intoxicating everything you're world is filth. You're becoming all the things you despised. Life Subsided in Your burden A toxicity so bleak And as it strengthens you reek of the scent of sulphur. You're dancing on fire as you're contemplating falling off the precipice. Lost love burning through my head. Itching to find a way out Like you won't believe. Don't try to catch me with your vacant gaze, Cause I know You're fucking dead to me. Souless Vessel with no guide. Bereft of all intelligence. As it grew from inside, Narcissism beguiled. Left you unreconciled. Souless vessel, narcissism beguiled Lost love burning through my head. Dont try to catch me with your vacant gaze Cause I know. You're fucking dead to me. Lost love burning through my head. Itching to find a way out Like you won't believe. Dont try to cath me with your vacant gaze Cause I know. You're fucking dead to me.

IN THE SHADOW OF PARADISE Embrace The Insane For theres nowhere to hide A beast grows Devoid of form and light We ride tonight Racing through this life Never questioning this masquerade Drowning not swimming In this lake of tragedy Anticipating our next move No one is safe, For our fate has been unbound. Doomsday from the depths released. The call of the ancient one! We've been disbanded and dissolved Torn apart Thrown into limbo A testimony hiding everything you say While the lost, Wait their atonement. When the stars align Entwine And fail to harmonise Shatter reality thats been told through time I retreat until I fall. Off the earth. (We say goodbye) And the sun has never shone In the shadow of paradise I walk alone. And when this moment imprints in time Through perversions ecstacy So besotted and subtly scorn that I still long for Every single word When the stars align Entwine And fail to harmonise Shatter reality That takes us to the grave Weve been Disbanded, decimated and dissolved Torn apart Thrown into limbo. A testimony hiding everything you say While the lost... I retreat until I fall Off the earth (We say goodbye) Where the sun has never shone In the shadow of paradise I walk alone. What is real? I know life But im uncertain That its just this Oblivion. Open your mind Our heads in the sky And you Will be there till I die Daylight reveals The truth of the path tomorrow Dont let the darkness encompasses the Light Let, Darkness encompass the Light Daylight reveals the truth of the path tomorrow Now im frozen in this moment Im with you Always saying goodbye
3.	Manifestation 04:23	lyrics	buy track
MANIFESTATION Through the dawning of ancient worlds Admist the sea in which nothing grows, Hides a beast within the shadows. It returns once again I sense its grip within my soul. Entity unknown Now embedded in my sanity Luring me in different forms. Manifestation. Lays inside my head that followed me out of the unknown Feel it burn through the vapid tranquility that rules this world. And in our darkest moments. Seething hate Such contempt for reality. This Is The place The fire ignites. It never gives up It will not retreat. Disguising the truth That grows underneath. It lays dormant until you succumb. For now your demise has only begun This is the demise that you can't outrun. Rise, From the Depths with Voices that speak Belial. Cold and relentless. Oppression leads to your exile. thrown to the abyss your concious decays through the sands of time. This is their design. Manifestation Feel it burn Through the vapid tranquility That rules this world. As you enter the realm Of Monsters and myths Cries Break the silence. Martyrs defiled. Feedimg misery's bliss. Cries Break the silence Martyrs defiled Feeding off of Misery's bliss. your concious decays through the sands of time. This is their design. Seething hate Such contempt for reality. THIS IS THE PLACE THE FIRE IGNITES It never gives up It will not retreat. Disguising the truth That grows underneath. It lays dormant until you succumb For now your demise has only begun.
4.	The Fall of Carnality 04:32	lyrics	buy track
THE FALL OF CARNALITY Take flight tonight and let your wings bestow a sense of freedom lost in the undertow Wretched affliction, terra firma despairs The blight of mankind, far beyond repair. An evil trickles through the void Fuelled off misery and no It wont let go faking hope with a prayer the fall of carnality. The Hellesphere is in full bloom. Those who dream of the carnage have forseen the beginning of the world undone. Ancient mother nature's tomb. And she beckoned. The end of the world has come See and speak and hear poison. Repulsive deitys have come and wont let go Of their prophecies. The fall of carnality Lost lives surround this mortal shell and you can't save them FROM THIS HELL Against the tide theres no turning back embrace our destiny forever entrapped Take in our final sunrise. Forebearing mother sky. Knowing her pain will cease When we rest in peace. I want to know If we're ever going home And I want to feel. To embrace this life, To learn from the unknown. Fall Decrowned Destroyed Behold forsaken morality. Dethroned For all that will glisten in gold. Unworthy life, alive who take an eye for an eye while shattering dreams beyond shadows. What will become Hate Deceit There's no Return Pain Regret and diminish are the faithful, scorn. Living defined By a wondering mind Finding sanctity through the ripples in the blood flow Lost lives surround this mortal shell and you can't save them From this hell Against the tide Theres no turning back Embrace our destiny forever entrapped Take in our final sunrise. Forebearing mother sky Knowing her pain will cease When we rest in peace. I want to know If we're ever going home And I want to feel. To embrace this life, To learn from the unknown.

THANOTAS Seething breach. supernatural cataclysm, Thanotas bourgeoning expansion laying waste to our realm. unleashing hell wielding scepters of old. Sent from the netherworld. Surrender to power you cannot ward off with your novelty cross. Those who appose sent to suffer the realm of eternal torment. abnormalities and fire spray the streets with disarray. Concede. And your Gods abandon hope and flee as we scream We own the night The wicked sons of the earth here to reclaim this world so say your goodbyes. seize your demise. purity in the fire mass genocide. When you fall Witness decimation of the frauds apocalyptic calamity to welcome new gods. all antiquity turned into dust. Seals our fate, forever the race of mankind shall be Crushed. Obliteration From the sky to the seas. Formidable conqueror. eradication. our finality The dawn man Has arrived There's no hope If only, you'd see That our Gods abandon hope and flee as they scream We own the night The wicked sons of the earth here to reclaim this world so say your goodbyes. seize your demise. purity in the fire mass genocide. When you fall witness decimation of the frauds Apocalyptic calamity to welcome new gods. All antiquity turned into dust. Seals our fate, forever the race of mankind shall be Crushed. Obliteration From the sky to the seas. Formidable conqueror. Eradication. Our finality ENDYMION Torn apart Love and chaos surrounds me. sharing moments of bliss falling off the edge of the world When you are around me. Time flies, yet cease too exist finding peace within a frenzied mind that that won't decist. When I fall, into the void, this sentiment grounds me. A futile attempt soon you'll plead or implore. I hear it call. corrupt, depraved defamation I witness in dreams, shall be nevermore. misguided demoralisation. looming over me, no more. I close my eyes seeing visions of nightmares appear wondering if it's a lost memory? they say, that God's always near but the Devil's right here. The essence of death, is what keeps the living strong. And in the end, I heed the omen. and in the end, We are the chosen. Disengage Disengage Disengage Disengage Mentality ablaze, reveals the defiler. Bearer of hate. Bringer of grief.f allen oddyssey. Taking refuge in the flames growing higher where you remain Until you unveil yourself again A futile attempt soon you'll plead or implore. I hear it call. corrupt, depraved defamation I witness in dreams, shall be nevermore. misguided demoralisation. looming over me, no more. Disengage Disengage

CHRONICLES I congregate through sounds that seep into my soul. As I contemplate on a life once less profound. It tears into my life, A meaning to behold (Each day it grows) As I contemplate what is life? Forsaking everything you once held tight finding solace in a heart deprived of meaning. left scarred licking a bitter wound, unhealing that sealed your doom. a voice that sings demise. beauty that makes my eyes bleed. With a welcoming smile. Severe, unstoppable revered in chronicles, I beget you. And when we glanced towards the stars now benign And the darkness reflects through your eyes. This cosmic essence, mystified unveiling false divine. My eyes dialate As the venom takes its hold. My mind melts away Replacing time with eternity. Outside watching yourself decay (Decay) Suddenly I Lose control (It grows and grows) As I contemplate what is life forsake everything you once held so tight finding solace in the flames, burning brighter every time You've sealed your doom a voice that sings demise. beauty that makes my eyes bleed. With a welcoming smile. Severe, unstoppable revered in chronicles I beget you. And when we glance towards the stars now benign And the darkness reflects through your eyes. This cosmic essence, mystified unveiling false divine. And when we gaze Towards the sunlights demise I see the hatred reflect in your eyes Cosmic essence Unveiling false divine Within our minds We can Escape These darkened times. Taking back The decimation we bestowed Souless. An attack on humanities freedom has begun. Enslavement in full motion. Souless Taking back the decimation we bestowed. My one regret Is the fact of the matter never said goodbye sooner.

WHISPERS As the day gives birth to the night. And the darkness, encompasses the light. words call out to me. A voice that comes to me in my dreams I perceive, that your polarity Craves simplicity, deceives (deceives) Ascertained Bliss, just to leave this behind, But it feels I'm wasting my time when I dont have you on my mind! Bare the crown Of serpents and sorrow. And the further you fall, Indoctrinating demise Where I'm, consumed So free me of your burden Untie me from your roots Break through, find a light in The darkest sea, the Asylum of the infinite. Untie me from your roots A whispering breeze in the night No regrets When your memory's deceased All this sickening deceit, I now watch it end. It brings hope for tomorrow Even though it feels like that I'm Loosing my friend Bare the crown Of serpents and sorrow. And the further you fall, Indoctrinating demise Where I'm, consumed So free me of your burden Untie me from your roots Break through, find a light in The darkest sea, the Asylum of the infinite. Untie me from your roots. Is this life? Is this Is this life?
9.	Abyssal 06:26	lyrics	buy track
ABYSSAL I lay awake as the night engross me, My body's at rest and my mind's awoken. a purple haze in my eye encloses, a welcoming sign as I enter this realm, obscure. who are these people I feel around me? Detail in blackness, my eyes are closed. Do they notice I hear their voices? I start to feel overexposed. returning frequently To see, To float in nothingness. lurking in the void, pineal seductivness. Abyssal Architecture infests my world. Deathly still, But the breeze within the trees is supernatural. Territorial are those who dwell who fight for dominion The wraiths you let slip through have chosen you. Miasma ensues. Condemned A life inside is forming confounded are the ones who don't heed the warnings. I've become crazed. Frenzied. Been falling for so long you cant stop me. Catch a glimpse of the final curtain, That falls too soon. lost in this hell, a domain unspoken. They followed you. untethered fear, another day is dawning another day you loose (Fading) as you fear for a burning eternity They follow you. exploring frequencies, deceased, between the crushing depths. I find I'm already here questioning existence. revocation unforseeable, an infernal adversary so renowned diabolical, detestable, untraceable you're lost and you wont be found. Territorial are those who dwell who fight for dominion The wraiths you let through have have all but conquered You Miasma ensues. Condemned A life inside is forming confounded are the ones who don't heed the warnings. My grip is slipping but I wont let it go Thoughts and feelings in my head cause a strange echo i've become crazed. Frenzied. Been falling for so long you cant stop me. Catch a glimpse of the final curtain, That falls too soon. lost in this hell a domain unspoken. They followed you. untethered fear another day is dawning another day you loose (Fading) As you fear for a burning eternity, They follow you.

My first exposure to Inferi was seeing them live with Shadows of Intent. They were supporting this album. Unbelievably awesome live show and the greatest possible way to discover this amazing band. Love everything they produce. Obstacle of Affliction

Of Sunless Realms
by Inferi

supported by 13 fans who also own “In the Shadow of Paradise”

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
