Violence is the Highest Law
from Crushed Skull Moon by Graven Maul
lyrics
A brutal death decree
The shaman cries
Under his shrieking call
The clan enthralled
And with our sacred blades
Their flesh be flayed
But it is with the maul
They’re all condemned to fall
They will pontificate
Debate, deliberate
Housed in ivory towers
Charlatans in contrived finery
Violence is our highest law
Way of fang, horn and claw
A legal deed is worthless
In the grasp of the dead
And when the sun has set
Their scalps and skins are stretched
Tanned and marked with curses
Crafted into pouches for discarding defecation
Violence is our highest law
Way of fang, horn and claw
Your law means shit
When your skull is caved in
The shaman cries
Under his shrieking call
The clan enthralled
And with our sacred blades
Their flesh be flayed
But it is with the maul
They’re all condemned to fall
They will pontificate
Debate, deliberate
Housed in ivory towers
Charlatans in contrived finery
Violence is our highest law
Way of fang, horn and claw
A legal deed is worthless
In the grasp of the dead
And when the sun has set
Their scalps and skins are stretched
Tanned and marked with curses
Crafted into pouches for discarding defecation
Violence is our highest law
Way of fang, horn and claw
Your law means shit
When your skull is caved in

Spun it about 5 times over the past weekend, in a sea of overbearing DM this demo hits hard with those blasts that groove along with the pummel of the riff, and solos and synths that take you somewhere else, better than the record versions imo.

never been a big death metal fan but this is actually super accessible for the genre, has fun concepts, and personally i'm always a fan of albums with short tracklists and huge runtimes (for individual songs) Great time, good jumping on point for newbies too.
