grovetheband The vocals on Corrupted Demesne are sick, that track gets me hyped. The guitars on Windows Web are tight AF, and that spooky breakdown section has a very ethereal feeling to it. I dig Crotaline, and it's obvious after a first listen that these guys put in some real work on this demo.

1.
A monolith erected from filth A construct fueled by death Everything you thought you knew Shattering eternally They loom above, casting shadows Endless pain, devours your mind Look they rise, out of the mist Symbols of Christ, splintering beneath. Vanity’s portrait, weaves the web Threads of deceit, choking your soul Suffer salvation, bend the knee Suffocate the masses, feel his wrath Cloaked in ash, bathed in black A virgin’s blood, calls him forth Our master rises, wreathed in smoke The world will fall, beneath his hoof Jagged spires bursting forth Sulphurous Mist, obscures the horde Arise fetid creatures, ascend spawn of satan, Destroy everything that the Christians hold dear Suffer salvation, bend the knee Suffocate the masses, feel his wrath Corrupted Demesne!

Each of us a species, vying for control Every generation, going back and forth Desperation growing, need to reproduce While our numbers dwindle, their population swells Faster, faster, faster, our offspring decrease Sooner, sooner, sooner, our food stores deplete Faster, faster, faster, we suffer defeat Sooner, sooner, sooner, we’re going extinct Breeding the end! Brothers, Sisters, crumbling into dust Watching the children rot into decay Fading away every single day Everything is but futility Father, Mother, why must we die Why do you turn grey Colder than our enemies Who steal away our life

Widow's Web 02:58
Your desires I can’t sate Your lust is a brutal fate Coitus destined to be carnage Death your only true partner Even though I won’t survive Your love makes me feel alive You can eat me any day, you can eat me any night Crawl back to Your filth hole All that’s left Is my soul You always seem to know What it takes to make me grow To the web I’ll always follow Just so I can feel you swallow When we screw I feel on fire Even though the situation’s dire When you finish fucking me St. Peter will be the one I see Crawl back to Your filth hole All that’s left Is my soul

Emerge ruffled dragon submerged in the streams Skin as deep as water soaked beyond the sea As brown as the soil from whence our sorrows breed Creep from your murky abyss Swallow the sun, open the sky, call forth the rain Please dripping dragon walk these lands again Emerging dragon! King of water! A royal procession of aqueous beings slither and wriggle over this land Bugs, snakes and lizards form a great steed Wander great dragon follow their lead! Silent the march stops out of the stream Clouds gather tightly teasing storms from a dream When out from the water a five fingered hand claws through the dirt and breaches the sand At once it begins slow at the start But quickly gains strength as the sky tears apart And the dragons procession continues to march Bring with your fertile fruit bearing seeds Bring forth a harvest through winter we’ll feast

about

Obsessed with the majesty of the animal kingdom, Crotaline offer an ode to those that creep and slither across the land and to those that crawl beneath the streams. The two demons, Astharoth and Cerastes, awake from aestivation to release a demo of old school extreme metal worship sure to bring you back to the days before genre boundaries separated the likes of Samael from Sarcofago. The Hemipenes Demo will leave you tainted with blood of the serpents embrace
