The band's references are the 1980's, when VENOM emerges. Sons of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, they united KISS' theatrics to the heaviness of BLACK SABBATH and the aggression of MOTÖRHEAD and Hardcore Punk. At that time, all the Power/Speed/Thrash/Death/Black Metal subgenres were created by great names such as HELLHAMMER, BATHORY, SODOM, ONSLAUGHT, CELTIC FROST, and in Brazil VULCANO, DORSAL ATLÂNTICA, TAURUS, ANTHARES, among many others.
Since then, the world has changed, music has evolved, but the "eighties" or "old school" style became a recurring issue, showing that the most things change, the most they stay the same. Heavy music has no expiration date, from rebellious teens to critical maturity.
Fast and visceral, yet heavy and introspective. But well produced in any case, vintage style; simple yet hard to reproduce. Obscure, existential, pessimistic, niestszchean themes.
Evil
Apokalyptic Raids Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I promise you horror in my reign of terror
The macabre orgy starts, i'm the master of the arts
Only death is real! slow death is near...
I am evil
Bodies in my altar, disciples call me master
I shed thy blood - unholy flow
I spit at the priest, i fuck the virgin
I am evil
The lyrics of Apokalyptic Raids' song "Evil" describe the arrival of a malevolent being who will overthrow God and bring forth a reign of terror. The singer claims to be the master of the arts of horror and promises a macabre orgy that will end in death. He revels in the bloodshed and debauchery that he inspires, referring to his followers as disciples and killing those who oppose him. The singer worships evil itself, rejecting traditional religious beliefs in favor of blasphemy and destruction.
The lyrics of "Evil" reflect the philosophy of the black metal genre, which often explores themes of anti-Christianity, misanthropy, and nihilism. The language used is intentionally provocative and offensive, challenging conventional morality and celebrating violence and depravity. The song can be seen as a critique of organized religion and a rejection of societal norms, as well as an exaltation of the sinister and the taboo.
