The unholy birth cries of KULT OV AZAZEL were first heard in April of 1999, under the infernal name of AZAZEL. Hailing from South Florida, masterminds Xul and Xaphan decided to join forces, marching relentlessly towards a shared destiny with a grim vision. June of 2000, marked a turning point for the entity formerly known simply as AZAZEL. The horde decided to distance themselves from other bands using the same name, and re-anointed themselves as KULT OV AZAZEL. After the release of the MCD "Order Of The Fly", various split CD’s and compilations, which established KULT OV AZAZEL as an unstoppable force upon the US Black Metal, they signed with Arctic Music Group, ensuring them proper distribution and a good budget with which to create their debut full length.
In April of 2001, the much-anticipated full length was released. "Triumph Of Fire" consisted of 11 hymns to the forces of hatred and would live up to their motto of "No Beauty, No Atmosphere, No Tranquillity." It would also prove that true Black Metal still exists, in its pure, ugly, raw form.
In the year 2001, the band obtains a permanent drummer known as the Hammer and in 2002 incorporates a second guitarist, Nocturath. In an astoundingly short time, this band has evolved from a vision to an unstoppable force. KULT OV AZAZEL have come to burn the old world and conquer the new; they are the musical embodiment of pure hatred and blasphemy which has been professed with the 2003 release of "Oculus Infernum".
Bloodstained Path To Victory
Kult ov Azazel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Blackstorm, summoning hatred
Through the sacrifice of the lord's flesh
Destiny is black forever
Mourning a death obsession, awaken chaos and war
We deny your faith
Come forth, the legions
Burnt deceivers, horned lord
Dungeon chambers hail agony's damned
Crown of thorns, enslaved whore
Throne of skulls, the tyrants laugh
The scriptures will burn as the kingdom rots
Diabolical possession, carnage forged Armageddon
The winged angels of death will claim their ground
The god you worship is destined to torment
Eternal infestation, eternal damnation
Hell incarnate, Sodom born from hades
Descent of blood, serpent of damnation
Deaths hallucination awaits the summoning
Infernal lord, shadow of our rebirth
Abysmal fires burn for the unholy hordes
Oblivion, behold the evil signs
Of their demise and fallen life
Suicide, emter the black abyss for your pagued virtues
Damn your soul eternally
