DJL68 My death metal days are long behind me, but Orloff stands out pretty well. They manage to work up an effective, spooky atmosphere and have more going on songwise than just about every band in the genre. Favorite track: The Needful Revenge of Arthur Grimsdyke.

Cobwebbed and Decayed Lyrics by: Waldemar de Marnac The chimes of mourning Remind you that you're dead Rotting away slowly Into the ground you walk Undead being, Zombified and decomposing Cast out from existence To forever crumble away Cobwebbed and decayed A shambling relic of putrid remains Cobwebbed and decayed Chewing on flesh to relieve your pains From out of the mausoleum you lurk Living off the victims you hunt and prey Foolish mortals roam the cemetery at night Now become your army after receiving your bite!

Crimson Deathshroud Lyrics by: Waldemar de Marnac Beheaded warlock from the past Rising up from your dreadful coffin From the seance you are reborn Vengeful curse spreads across the land Blood drinking sorcerer from beyond Nefarious deeds of the damned Sacrifices for the medieval murderess Black magic tales and stories of the macabre Remove the silver cross to unleash Hell Waldemar shall live yet again Countess Wandessa must be killed Her evils sent back to the grave Casket thrown into the lake Hung out to burn in the sun Thrust the stake into your own heart The count crumbles to dust From now on, you will be my faithful servant and soon your master will be my slave Under the crimson deathshroud of horrors from beyond the grave Naschy lives forever...!

House Where the Beast Dwells Lyrics by: Alucarda Bellows You hear something in your cellar Feral pacing, a decaying dweller You count each step as he creeps up the stairs You gasp in horror at what's standing there Rotted face, teeth exposed One eye dangling, a missing nose Shredded skin hanging off bones Face to face, you're all alone House Where the Beast Dwells!

Count Orloff Has Risen from the Grave Lyrics by: Doctor Morgue At midnight under a full moon red as spilled blood, Unto a cemetery moldering amidst deconsecration, A mysterious cult of worshipers have assembled They would witness returned the horror of horrors... The ghastly fiend of the charnel house...ORLOFF! Hideous and grim, upon nightmares he verily feasts! Those aspiring devotees would revel in his name And with perverse debaucheries, the ritual begins! A funeral pall falls across the already black night And the bitter winds howl like restless phantoms It is then that Orloff arises from Death's embrace, Worms dripping from his long-ensanguined mouth But he eyes those before him with utter contempt Their spurious modernity offends his macabre taste They then do shudder when he sneers upon them, But swollen wineskins, waiting to be drained...! Dreadful Count Orloff from his tomb rises... The feeble horrors of the day he despises Upon dilettantes and poseurs he shall feed And spread black terror to fulfill his NEED!

Thrall of the Death's Head Lyrics by: Doctor Morgue Christopher Maitland, scholar of the morbid and macabre A collector of darkest curiosity, his appetite insatiable To him is ushered the unknown in strange white bone... The skull of that Marquis, savage and hateful...DeSade! Too familiar and affeared, Phillips offers a warning, but... His desire for the unnatural thing descends into obsession Marco, the sordid procurer, consumed by utter nightmare, Maitland must possess the skull or will it possess him? Maitland's compulsion sated by horrors, the skull is his! Although into his cabinet of dread curiosa is it committed, At midnight, before black candles and pentagram appears He cannot resist the spell of that unholy charnel relic... Phillips is sacrificed with Baalberith, an offering to DeSade! Ravenous, the skull would then see ravaged his sleeping bride With Blackbeard's dagger, Maitland defies the loathsome thing, But the accursed death's head flies out to drag him to Hell! From out of cruelty and perversion, the Skull calls... Hungry for the lurid forbidden, the Skull calls... Lusting for blackest murder, the Skull calls... In the name of Sadism...The Skull calls!

Nine Eternities in Doom Lyrics by: Waldemar de Marnac Dr. Phibes back from the dead for revenge With nine diabolical curses he will kill! Bees, bats, beasts, blood Frogs, hail, locusts, darkness...DEATH! Biblical plagues blanket the victims Dr. Phibes plays his organ in victory

Paralyzed Entities Lyrics by: Waldemar de Marnac Spirits of the damned, assemble on this night apparitions among the graveyard skies Fiendish souls who brought death in life their emanations reek of sin Paralyzed Entities Frozen evil is hell on earth Paralyzed Entities contain ungodly souls for all their worth Paralyzed Entities No longer free to roam this world Paralyzed Entities Now the real horror shall begin... Maniacal human plans the ultimate evil to harness the tainted essence Words spoken from ancient parchment shall trap the energy within his flesh!

The Needful Revenge of Arthur Grimsdyke Lyrics by: Alucarda Bellows A mournful man lives alone with his memories A reclusive soul, he wants nothing but peace But the greedy ones want him out of their sight They plan his demise on a blackened night His humble abode is, to them, a disgrace They don't care about the sadness he has faced But they will soon find they should not have killed him From his grave he ascends Rotted heart from the hatred He lurks and preys His rotting corpse drags down memorable paths Leading to the one who will receive his wrath His victim hears a strange noise stirring in the dark Emerging from the darkness, Grimsdyke rips out his heart A deadly poem scribbled in his enemy's blood Now his needful revenge is fulfilled and done The legend of Arthur Grimsdyke The revenge of Arthur Grimsdyke He will come back from his grave He will come back to avenge his name!

Chamber of Chills Lyrics by: Alucarda Bellows Gravedigger, dead eyes Open wide, staring cold It's lonely in the grave Candles lit, her body lay The graverobber hammering the coffin lid The dead woman's eyes stared him through Buried in the cemetery, the ghost would soon return With ice cold fingers Before his terror-laden eyes He saw the dead rise!

Mater of the Morbid Lyrics by: Doctor Morgue I, Ronald Wyatt, am a collector of darkest curiosa But it is that master of the macabre I do worship... Father of the Raven and Lord of the Worm...POE! But it is to Canning whom I must bow with utter envy Before his treasures of Poe's immortal terrors, I drool It is to my surprise, then, that I receive his invitation... To visit his ghastly fancy-weltered home in Maryland And his infamous collection of the one and only Poe... Amidst that house of Poe's horrors, my mind reels... But I shudder when hitherto unpublished tales I espy Under drink, Canning his family's secrets does confess... Grave robbing ... Blackest occultism ... Raising the dead... Not simply artifacts had been collected but Poe himself! Naught can stop my desperate search, not even Canning... Unto a ritual chamber a mysterious door then ushers me And, beyond, the Master do I behold with sublime dread...! Possessed by the hunt for singular curiosity ... Possessed by the hunger for utter morbidity ... Possessed by the search for what the dead only know ... Possessed by the horror of Edgar Allan Poe!
