Briton Rites - "Demo 2012"

Οι Briton Rites ιδρύθηκαν το 2006 και για τους φίλους των Cauldron Born δεν χρειάστηκε παρασύνθημα.

Ήταν η καινούρια μπάντα του Howie Bentley κι αυτό αρκούσε. Το ύφος του νέου συγκροτήματος ίσως να ξένισε αρχικά καθώς απ' το US Power του "Born of the Cauldron" μέχρι το doom του "For Mircalla" (το ντεμπούτο των Briton Rites πίσω στο 2010) ίσως υπάρχει κάποια απόσταση.

Την περασμένη χρονιά υπήρξαν κάποιες αλλαγές στην σύνθεση της Αμερικάνικης μπάντας: προστέθηκε ο μπασίστας John Leeson (μαθητής του Howie Bentley) κι αντικαταστάθηκε ο drummer Corbin King από τον Greg Haa των θεών Slough Feg (ήταν στην μπάντα από την αρχή μέχρι και το "Atavism")...

Το σημερινό line up:

Howie Bentley: Bass, Guitars (Cauldron Born, ex-Howie Bentley)

Phil Swanson: Vocals (Seamount, ex-Upwards of Endtime, ex-Atlantean Kodex)

John Leeson: Bass (Cauldron Born)

Greg Haa: Drums (Cauldron Born, Hateriarch, ex-Slough Feg, ex-Isen Torr)

Μέσα στο 2012 κυκλοφόρησαν και δύο νέα τραγούδια σε demo μορφή (τα συνέθεσε ο Howie το καλοκαίρι του 2011) δίνοντας μία πρώτη εικόνα για τον διάδοχο του "For Mircalla". Τα τραγούδια είναι τα "The Wizard's Pipe", "In Hell I Will Rule". (Το ότι έχουν να ανανεώσουν την ιστοσελίδα τους από πέρυσι είναι ανησυχητικό;) Ακούστε τα...

In spilled blood of innocents defiled The succubi draw my ritual bath Words are the keys that unlock the corridors Father, your son comes home again, tonight Upon my throne in Hell Such wonderful sights to see Crucified upside-down  Those who once did wrong to me My role is to rule as king Your role, marionette is the fool In Hell you suffer In Hell I will rule The longer I sit in blood and water The longer my stay in Hell becomes I feel my rule in Hell grow stronger With the harvesting of the young Upon my throne in Hell Such wonderful sights to see Human girls and succubi Writhe in sapphic ecstasy My role is to rule as king Your role, marionette is the fool In Hell you suffer In Hell I will rule Those who kill themselves Are those who hate themselves Some die in accidents By my spell, to Hell, be sent That's the witching art But, now the traveling part Astral flight, I take at night Destination, my delight Every night I crave their cruel caresses As the demons come to wash me And as the words flow from their lips I repeat them back, so carefully Upon my throne in Hell Such wonderful sights to see Through my father's eyes A kingdom laid out for me My role is to rule as king Your role, marionette is the fool In Hell you suffer In Hell I will rule
