Carved from a desolate stone
Leaving a broken relief
A monument to a demi-god
Reminiscing on a tumultuous past
Spawned of the lust of a virgin
New life replaces the old
Her wails of passion were muted by
the cries from a fatal birth
A forgotten bastard child
Teeming with unholy life
Lying in his stricken mother's fluids
He bears the unholy mark
It rages and churns upon his tiny brow
As the world lies unaware, a dark savior for Satan's cause
He's come to set the world aflame
The people damn him and scorn his existence, a
fate worse than death for a child
Love escapes is feeble grasp
He grows to loathe the world around him
A flickering shadow of humanity
The Mark of Beasts on his forehead does live
A man who thrives on his hate
His conquering, driving force
As he calls forth the demonspawn
As his new Urth begins to form
Plagues, Pestilence, Violence, Blasphemous
Now abandoned by his creator
Locked away and forgotten by his sire
He lies alone in his bleak stone prison
He again remembers the child
Deprived of my innocence
Never truly given a chance at life
I will suffer for the pain that I brought them
An infernal destiny was my downfall
Possessed from birth, bred for damnation
A dark path not of my design...
The Mark of Beasts withers upon his dying brow

Holy shit, real blood of the lead singer inside of this vinyl, that’s the most metal thing I’ve ever seen 🤘. Had to grab one of these rarities Matilde (Nadine Maziarz)

Couldn’t agree more with the other reviewers’ observations about how terribly underrated Serocs is in the technical death category. Tech dm so often leaves me cold (and not in a good way), but bands like Vitriol and Serocs know how to do it just right, each with their own totally unique style. Even better than the previous full-length, which seems impossible. Highly recommended!
PS — The two demo tracks really show what a few years and decent production can do for a band. MJ

This album being played over the PA system at the museum where Salvador Dali's "The Persistence of Memory" is housed is what caused the faces of the clocks in the painting to melt. meeko
