Vocalist Daniel says about the track:
"I had inspiration for writing some of the lyrics to ‘The Charnel House’ whilst researching a trip to the awesome Sedlec Ossuary, in Czech Republic. Seeing some of the images associated with this and similar places; I started digging into other places where the bones of the dead are stored (not literally, though).
Fresh in my mind were the ideas behind the tracks ‘Ground to Ashes’ (which looks at the cremation process) and ‘Unto The Earth Bethralled’ (which delves deeply into burials) – doing something about where bones are piled seemed like a natural progression, and gave the album a trinity of songs about what happens after death.
Additionally, I had been toying with lyrics based on being buried alive for quite a while, and I then it struck me – why not combine the two! So, the rather morbid idea of throwing a rather unfortunate person into a bone chamber; who is pinned in place by the sharp, piercing bones beneath them, and is then slowly crushed and suffocated by all the skeletal remains which are piled on top, seemed a horrific tale to tell… A very slow and miserable end. To quote a line from the song which sums it up: ‘…The only sound to be heard in the corpse chamber, is the vain struggling of the damned…’
Musically, the guys wanted an aggressive, shorter track - just straight to the point death metal, and what they were writing with the riffs and drumming fit with the lyrics perfectly; a very claustrophobic cacophony to seal this poor chaps fate haha."

This band really is something. It's pure diy, old school death metal that mixes in some hardcore and makes for some serious headbanging. Really fun stuff lml. gore-founder

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. Odiumediae

Nucléaire, Black -Speed ravageur, ou l'on peut entendre beaucoup d'influence. Mélodique, puissant et varié un album qui me fait fortement penser à l'album Terminal Redux de Vektor !!! necro
