Die norddeutsche Truppe TEMPLE OF DREAD spielt klassischen Death Metal im Sinne von Chuck, Obituary und Co.. Am 04. Oktober veröffentlicht die Band ihren fünften Longplayer „God Of The Godless“, von dem sie heute die erste Auskopplung – `Carnage Ritual`, als Lyricclip vorstellt.
Gitarrist Markus Bünnemeyer:
“Our first single ‘Carnage Ritual’ musically goes back to the beginnings of TEMPLE OF DREAD. No compromises, no experiments – just four minutes full steam ahead! The lyrical content is just as accurate: In Greek mythology, the people of Athens were compelled by King Minos to choose seven young men and seven young women to be offered as sacrificial victims to the monster Minotaur, to be killed in retribution for the death of Minos` son… The lyrics were once again visualized by Ecuadorian director Christian Kdrumworm (k-drumworm-media) with great attention to the details of the incredible artwork by Paolo Girardi!“

Lyrics:
Carnage Ritual
The shortest straw, seals the fatal lot
Fear of the beast, vicious fate unknots
Board the death ship, journey with no return
Human quarry, release they yearn
Seven eaten
Perished
Maze, victual
Carnage ritual
Serpent sperm king, claims blood tribute
Errantry, as the ways volute
Juvenile meat for the bastard beast
Prey ritual a gory feast
Maze, victual
Carnage ritual
Forsaken youth, no way back
Winding paths, lurid death trap
Sacrifices of youth and innocence
Delivered to the beast
No deliverance
Minotaur, Minotaur
Sacrifice Innocence
Minotaur
Half man half beast
Monstrosity
Feeding by Innocence
Seven eaten
Perished
Maze, victual
Carnage ritual
Perished and lost, know the sad troop’s fate
The roars are heard, retreat too late
Becoming lost, becoming food
Eaten alive, abased, subdued
Carnage Ritual
Carnage Ritual
