Azazel ♒ 7293 This album is so heavy, I feel frightened by my own musical tastes sometimes. I mean this was designed to make you shit your pants all alone, no other option. Favorite track: The Anger of Anguish.

Mike Liassides Gloriously inventive Psych/Prog/Doom hybrid. Full review here: www.doom-metal.com/reviews.php?album=2278. Favorite track: From The Sixth Tower.
Anointing The Sick

Anointing The Sick A band featuring ex -Esoteric guitarist Kris Clayton. There are fleeting elements of Esoteric in this, but if Esoteric went more stoner, trippy and trad doom with a dash of death metal, then this album is what you would come up with. If anyone is put off by earlier albums (like me) don't be put off buying this. 17 mostly excellent tracks for 4 quid, bargain. Favorite track: The Anger of Anguish.

Compassion! How can it be? Strength and weakness, are the same! Irrational! Illogical! Irreconcilable aspect of my beliefs Selfishness, it pleases me To bring happiness to you Confusion I feel, but I care not This feels right, so it must be By what measure makes a man? And how do I weigh up? After all that I could have done, Was caring enough? I cry tears for you, when you don’t succeed I will always come whatever you need My blood will mix with yours when you bleed Wherever you go, I will follow your lead When I see madness in a mans eyes I understand And when I see darkness I empathise This was me once, not so long ago Above all else it is sadness That drives me on Compassion grants me power Caring gives me strength

I want to put a piece of myself into you I want you to feel what I feel In this moment, joined as one we are Ancient communion, as old as mankind From the sixth tower The 24th verse. 36 Chapters... Condensed to One. Can you feel me deep inside you? See obscene vistas of my dark desires? There has come a sign, joining the salts within Move the body, summon the flesh The 7th and the 2nd Homage to glamour, homage to lust May the 13th vex deniers of pleasure And empower the talisman of the free Take it on the chin I pass my power on to you Accept this gift with willing fervour Let it drip across your contours Dreams and desires as I hold myself A rite of passage for each man To know oneself is to look upon the face of god The feeling makes it so

Draw the circle Prepare the blue fire Raise the chalice To trick the mind Robes in the darkness Dagger in your hand Westward lies your gaze To freedom, freedom through Self Hypnosis Freedom of Emotion Break the knots Of Twisted Synapse Toward the common the goal Self Hypnosis Empowered by fiction Lie to yourself And Live Your Own Will!

Rise! Unholy one, crush the feeble scum who’s lies won’t be undone Force the hand that bleeds, sow the wicked seed Vengeance hence force is decreed Cry! Infernal names, to cleanse my soul of blame Condemn, absolve, defame Call! Summon him, master of all sin Fuel the hatred from within Burn! Vile wretched slave... Only scorn I feel Move and appear! Present yourself to him Stand, as a monolith... Smash the stillness of the air Rot the fucking minds of those who mock the just Blast! The winds do multiply... my hateful bitterness Pierce the lungs with the sting of my venom Great black slimy shapes... rise from brackish pits Vomit forth their pustulence into the puny brained I am the machine of annihilation I have come to rend your soul I am the machine of annihilation I have come to rend your soul Woe! Woe! Woe! Woe be to the earth Come now as a hawk Peck out the holy eyes Flap your leathered wings Blind the faceless one Sharpen your mighty claws On religious flesh Death to the self righteous ones Fuck them all watch them burn Curse them, curse them Love is the law Love under MY will...

about

The new album from ex-Esoteric guitarist Kris Clayton. It was recorded, mixed and mastered at Priory Recording Studios by Esoteric mainman and long time collaborator Greg Chandler, and produced by Kris Clayton to finally realize the dream imagined when the band was formed 10 long years ago.

Melding together influences from Doom, Death Metal, Stoner Rock and 70's Psychedelic and Progressive rock genres, the record aims to be as heavy as it is trippy, as melodic as it is dissonant and as beautiful as it is twisted. This record takes the foundations built by earlier albums and adds to them, retaining the bands trademark ambient saxophone infused doom and creating new sounds with forays into blissed out vocoded post-rock and early 90's death metal, with brief stops into dark ambient and funeral doom along the way.

Lyrically it is a concept record telling of how the artist used arcane techniques to rebuild a mind shattered by constant self abuse, drawing on the darkest aspects of the psyche to force his mind in submission to his own will. Themeatically, the band has matured immensely - hardly surprising that Kris Clayton formed the band aged just 13. The sound has grown up with him.
