Death, reaper of souls empty, outcast, alone
Spies out in the fields beauty so fair
So seizing his chance takes her away with him
Where sunlight can't reach and mortals wont dare
Hope, while there is hope freedom she may yet find
But, try maiden not the food or the wine
Temptation is strong you must resist his charms
One morsel you try you’re his for all time
Alas she proves too weak six seeds have passed her lips
But merciful death allows her to go
Six months must she stay six months she’s free to go
Spring, freedom above winter below

I didn't realize how great Beastmaker were until I put this in and really gave it a good listen. Man, if anyone ever sounded like the mighty Black Sabbath it's these guys and that's a major compliment! Sabbath made me the metalhead I am today. So super happy to discover these guys. Guitar tone is heavy as shit and the singer has that creepy Ozzy sound that's perfect for this music. Beastmaker are the classic Sabbath sound circa 1970. I play this all the time. knutepanhead

Magmakammer are drinking from the Norsk fountain on their latest 3-song opus. The Uncle Acid comparisons are obvious, yet these lads bring their own flavor to the doom pot. It's certainly fuzzy in all the right places, and the rhythm and tone are upbeat and rooted in hard rock n roll. Bucky
