Close Encounters
Verse 1 (2:00)
Rolling blackouts hit the nation
Mysterious lights hang in the sky
Is this a symbol of salvation or a sign that we will die?
These alien illuminations
Ensnare the minds of those who see
Becoming objects of fixation to the most terrifying degree
Chorus x2
Close encounters of the thrash kind!
Five tones to control your mind
Close encounters of the thrash kind
Total Alien control of time
Solo
Verse 2
Shrill notes are broadcast on all spectrums
Quick power chords with with mighty bends
The sound of nickel strings and plectrums with distortion turned to ten
We intercept these strange transmissions
And ponder over their intent
Should we heed this as a warning or invitation to ascend?
Chorus x2
Close encounters of the thrash kind!
Five tones to control your mind
Close encounters of the thrash kind
Total Alien control of time
Bridge 1
We line up stacks of amplifiers
With volume cranked far as it goes
And with sustained attack we start to broadcast back
The music of our foes
Their ships descend on our position
As we repeat their fearsome sounds
And as we start to shred, our hearts are filled with dread
As the mothership comes down
Solos/Instrumental
Bridge 2 (6:28)
The ship’s door slowly opens
We stare these creatures in the face
On either side our eyes go wide
Seeing members of an unknown race
Our amplifiers start to tremble
The very earth begins to quake
Their music swells, our guitarists fail
And we reach a sudden break
Verse 3
The aliens seem primed and ready
Beads of sweat roll down your skin
A battlecry makes nerves unsteady as the invaders’ charge begins
First contact knocks you to the concrete
An alien extends a limb
You feel the pounding of your heartbeat as it flashes you a grin and throws you back into the din
Chorus x2
Close encounters of the thrash kind!
Five tones to control your mind
Close encounters of the thrash kind
Total Alien control of time
Close encounters of the thrash kind x4

Crop Circle Pit

Foreign vessels silent and discreet
Sent to mark the planet to collect
Alien invasion near complete
But information relayed incorrect
Cryptic symbols burned into the wheat
Mystifying patterns all in circles
Signalling the overhanging fleet
That conquest of this world will have no hurdles
Landing troops descend
Citizens await
Promising violence we run
Into the crop!
Circle pit!
Into the crop!
Circle pit!
Into the
Fields of grain the invaders appear
Without hesitation we attack
Neither friend nor foe show any fear
Forces collide with a mighty smack
Our intention violently clear
Fighting tooth and nail we stand our ground
Injuries on either side severe
Bodies of both shapes fall all around
Crimson red our blood
Ultraviolet theirs
Screaming defiance we run
Into the crop!
Circle pit!
Into the crop!
Circle pit!
Never shall
We surrender, we defend our land, our honour
Rip and rend until the end, a righteous slaughter
In the corn, our fury borne on space invaders
We are sworn to show them scorn and make them hate us
[solo 1 and solo 2]
Into the crop!
Circle pit!
Into the crop!
Circle pit!
We defend earth!

BLOOD, SWEAT AND BEERS
[V1]
We have arrived as the darkness descends with a fistful of metal to play
And we expect some ultra-violence in the old-school american way
The legacy of our morbid visions is an epidemic of violence
Extreme aggression a release from the agony of your tortured existence
[CHORUS]
Thrashaholics! Heed the call of the riff
Bang your heads in unison and jump into the pit
Feel the fire! Igniting in your soul
Let the music fill you and let go of your control
Now listen up! If you think ill of our kind
And understand in spirit we are all intertwined
An alliance spanning countless years
A brotherhood built on blood, sweat and beers!
[V2]
Bonded by blood now, you join the new order and start spreading the disease
No place for disgrace here, that’s why hell awaits, tonight you may do as you please
Enter the thrash zone, it’s time to leave scars - to stay out would be heresy
Eternal devastation is the law and possessed by fire you will be
[CHORUS]
[SOLO]
[BRIDGE]
Act III begins as among the living now spreads the calm before the storm
Pleasures of the flesh are taking over as the pit is twisted into form
Breaking the silence, this forbidden evil spreads through countless souls of black
Filled with malicious intent now the bodies burst forth like a zombie attack
[V3]
Show no mercy and kill 'em all, we’re obsessed by cruelty
The morning after will be endless pain, that’s a terrible certainty
But a state of euphoria will sustain you with power from hell
And here tonight under the influence, you will find it a pleasure to kill

Coagulating Darkness
by Hellripper
supported by 13 fans who also own “Close Encounters of the Thrash Kind”
Pretty much the best Black/Speed Metal I've listened to since I learned about Evil Invaders and Vulture. Everything you'd love to be reminded of about this musical era is there. The influences are what you'd expect too: Motörhead, Venom, Bathory, early Slayer, Celtic Frost; aggressive vocals, tortured guitar solos, pounding drums; everything is fast, clear and still a little grimy, but without reverb cranked up to the max. Amazing band, amazing album.
