lyrics

As a king cobra occurs – deep in the halls of the dead
I awaken from dreamless cycles of paralysis

Where your brethren dwell in underground streams
Hiding wisdom and power
Deep in the realms of a subterranean temple
The Serpent Temple

I climb the highest of mountains
Yet keep my feet down in the Chapel of Snakes
Don't you ever betray your roots
As your fall becomes deeper than the ascension was strenuous

I am the destroyer of the right hand path
Annihilation am I – yet peaceful and patient

The sinister path of light – far away from your lies
I am the antinomian – crusher of hypocrisy

Apotheosis of my inner self – I make my own god
Bow before none – serve only the I

Words by A.

Kelle Surut Soi
by Havukruunu

supported by 19 fans who also own “The Serpent Temple”

I'd say Havukruunu is the rightful holder of the Crown and the mantle of Quorthon. Epic choirs, vikingesque themes and tales from the other times, of the Finnish paganism back in the days before our ancestors were brought to the cross and forced to kneel while feeling the bloody sword of saviour on their throats made to kiss the hand of murderers who burnt thousands, tore down our holy places and took our holy days. Eyes teary I listen to these songs, never forgiving the crimes of the cross! Peikonmieli

Панихида
by Krzysztof Drabikowski

supported by 18 fans who also own “The Serpent Temple”

La traversée du désert n'aura pas duré quarante jours mais quatre longues années... Avec Панихида, Батюшка renaît enfin de ses cendres et, bien que désormais seul (ou plus exactement entouré de deux chanteurs), Христофор accomplit un miracle. Il s'inscrit dans la continuité de Литоургиiа avec un black metal orthodoxe qui nous convie ici à une cérémonie dédiée aux morts. Sa vision est englobante : les mélodies, la gravité et le silence font toucher le paradis ; l'agressivité est luciférienne. Jordan Vauvert

Endless Wound
by Black Curse

supported by 18 fans who also own “The Serpent Temple”

I came accross Black Curse, and their first demo, on Greg Biehl / No Gleaming Light YT channel in late 2019 and a bit later, in 2020, as it was covid, a whole lot of time was spent at home listening to music. In April 2020, I took a slap in my face. The songs that were already on the demo, with the new production here were so insane, it dragged me to hell. Black Curse is definitely one of the most violent band I listened in the last years. Next-level Black-Death metal for sure ! drs_dramm

Rituals
by bunsenburner
