Arkheth – 12 Winter Moons Comes The Witches Brew
Tyrone Kostitch – All Instruments, Glen Wholohan – Saxophone

Trismegistus sounds of war evil and storm building with women weeping then just pure black demonic metal assaults you.  Dark Energy Equilibrium deep dark melancholic evil ascends from under you to devour you.  Where Nameless Ghouls Weep wolves howling witches conjuring and evil abounding.  The Fool Who Persists In His Folly dissonance and evil intent surrounding and devouring.  A Place Under The Sun dragging you down to hell slowly and painfully.

Manic Onslaught spoken words and then death and destruction rain down on you in immense proportions.  Insanity Reality the pity goes wild and crazy with evil aggression.  Repugnant sounds slowly building thundering along with power and warlike intent.  Despondency chained to the road a steam roller working its way toward you ready to smash your entire body into the asphalt.  The Great Divide searching for a way to cross the great divide of evil.  Victimizer being pounded and victimized in every way possible thru dark heavy music.  Tormented just jackhammers you from start to finish.  Evil Upheaval evil rises from the black abyss and just takes over the entire world.  Vile Defloration slow melancholic melodic guitars and percussion that works its way into a frenzy.
