lyrics

The holy city of Jerusalem,
Now a breeding ground for the unholy
Barbaric Islamic worship lies behind its walls
Festering with sin, all light has died

I call for holy war
For the destruction of its inhabitants
Purification of the heathen
Through the bloodlust of God's army

Under Jesus Christ, our lord, may you struggle for Jerusalem
Struggle that you may drive the Islamic faith into the ground

With the Cross on our chests, and weapons of war
We will reclaim Jerusalem, tear down its walls
We will wash these holy lands with your heathen blood

Plunder and massacre the wretched in the name of God
And destroy all other faith for the glory of the Pope and Catholic church

Our holy cause now cast aside
To fulfill our own lust for blood and wealth
Slaughter of the innocent
Men, women and children alike

Slicing your heads off
Burning you to death
Rain of arrows upon you
Violence in the name of God

After your decimation, we begin to loot your homes and mosques
Swallow your precious objects
We will dismember you to find them
Disembowelment revealing the wealth you tried to protect

Mercenaries of Christ, in payment for reclaiming the Holy Land, your immaculate father absolves you of all your sins

How blind they truly are
Carrying out the will of the Deceiver in the name of Christ
No man can absolve them of sin
A truth kept from reaching the surface

Through the propaganda of absolution, is my will carried out
False redemption for these "holy warriors"
Assured by the bishops and priests under me,
My salesmen of salvation

The Existence Of Human Suffering
by Abated Mass Of Flesh

supported by 8 fans who also own “Absolution”

This album slams. That's all there is to it. Brutal riffs, guttural growls, and heavy-handed percussive accompaniment. The instrumentation is nothing short of phenomenal with drums that serve a menacing, industrial feel to be beheld. An absolutely savage work in reverence of Christ our Lord. 10/10. Bella-Grace :)

Abhorrent Postmortal Vicissity
by Abated Mass Of Flesh

supported by 8 fans who also own “Absolution”

One of the heaviest slam death albums ever made. I would maybe even call it “doom slam.” Listen to Perpetual Repudiation and I doubt you can name many songs that are heavier. Pulverizing. Metallurgical Fire
