lyrics
THE MASK STITCHED UPON YOUR FACE
RULES THE LAND YOU LAY TO WASTE
WORDS YOU CAN’T SUSTAIN
FALL ON EARS THAT WAIT IN VAIN
EASIER TO SUFFER
AND FOLLOW THE MASSES
THE DEMON BEHIND THE MASK
BLEEDS DRY THE BLINDED CLASSES
WITHHELD BY SOVEREIGNTY
THE POWER TO RULE BRINGS FIRE TO THE STREETS
DROP TO YOUR KNEES
THE POWER TO RULE
ETERNAL AGONY
I
DEFY
THE MASKS OF THE WORLD
THE ZIP STITCHED UPON YOUR LIPS
RULES THE WORDS YOU SPIT
MARBLE EYES OF RED AND BLACK
SEE THROUGH SHARPENED SLITS
HARDENED LEATHER CRACKED WITH AGE
EXPRESSION DEAD THROUGH FEAR
THIS SHELL PROTECTS THE CRIPPLED MIND
AND HIDES ALL HUMAN TEARS
THE BLOOD DRIPS FROM SHARPENED STEEL
HUNGER AND DISTAIN
ITS PEOPLE FEEL
THE FIRES, THE BANE, THE WINDS OF PAIN
LEADERS THE DISEASE
IN THE MASK WE BELIEVE
FEAR FUELLED REPRESSION
CONSTRUCTED DEPRESSION
YOU TAKE WHAT’S LEFT OF THIS DYING BREATH
THIS WORLD BEGINS TO CONJURE
MASK OF FIRE
BREATHES THE LIE
MASK OF FIRE
DEATH’S DISGUISE
RULES THE LAND YOU LAY TO WASTE
WORDS YOU CAN’T SUSTAIN
FALL ON EARS THAT WAIT IN VAIN
EASIER TO SUFFER
AND FOLLOW THE MASSES
THE DEMON BEHIND THE MASK
BLEEDS DRY THE BLINDED CLASSES
WITHHELD BY SOVEREIGNTY
THE POWER TO RULE BRINGS FIRE TO THE STREETS
DROP TO YOUR KNEES
THE POWER TO RULE
ETERNAL AGONY
I
DEFY
THE MASKS OF THE WORLD
THE ZIP STITCHED UPON YOUR LIPS
RULES THE WORDS YOU SPIT
MARBLE EYES OF RED AND BLACK
SEE THROUGH SHARPENED SLITS
HARDENED LEATHER CRACKED WITH AGE
EXPRESSION DEAD THROUGH FEAR
THIS SHELL PROTECTS THE CRIPPLED MIND
AND HIDES ALL HUMAN TEARS
THE BLOOD DRIPS FROM SHARPENED STEEL
HUNGER AND DISTAIN
ITS PEOPLE FEEL
THE FIRES, THE BANE, THE WINDS OF PAIN
LEADERS THE DISEASE
IN THE MASK WE BELIEVE
FEAR FUELLED REPRESSION
CONSTRUCTED DEPRESSION
YOU TAKE WHAT’S LEFT OF THIS DYING BREATH
THIS WORLD BEGINS TO CONJURE
MASK OF FIRE
BREATHES THE LIE
MASK OF FIRE
DEATH’S DISGUISE

Coagulating Darkness
by Hellrippersupported by 4 fans who also own “Masks of the World”
Pretty much the best Black/Speed Metal I've listened to since I learned about Evil Invaders and Vulture. Everything you'd love to be reminded of about this musical era is there. The influences are what you'd expect too: Motörhead, Venom, Bathory, early Slayer, Celtic Frost; aggressive vocals, tortured guitar solos, pounding drums; everything is fast, clear and still a little grimy, but without reverb cranked up to the max. Amazing band, amazing album.

Addicted to Thrash (single)

Great bands create memories with their music and I still remember the first time I heard Addicted to Thrash by Hidden Intent. Amazing - 10/10.

Walking Through Hell
by Hidden Intentsupported by 4 fans who also own “Masks of the World”
I really can't say enough good things about this album. It is such an impressive effort. Hidden Intent's Walking Through Hell is simply authentic thrash metal at it's best - something that is becoming increasingly hard to find. Every instrumental track hits it's mark and the vocal tracks have been laid down with undeniable authority. I could spend a long time commenting on specific aspects which I admired but really you should just listen to it yourself.

Epic songwriting skills combined with powerful playing and a sense of urgency. Could Requiem lead Australia's next charge of blackened war metal? Yep...
