was recorded, Aimless, which contains 4 songs.
At the same time, the band recorded 2 songs in another studio for the
comp-CD ´frykenrock which contains only local bands from Sweden.
It turned out very well and they started to practice and write new songs for a new demo.
In June -96, they went to studio Abyss to record their third demo, Sects of Doom.
This was the first time the band entered a "big" studio and for the first time, they
were pleased with the sound, heavy and brutal. "Several reviews praised the sound."
This time, instead of sending the demo only to record labels,
they sent the demo to zines and mags all around the world.
They received many good reviews from Singapore, France,
Germany, Belgium, USA a.s.o. They also received several inquiries
about compilation-CD´s and one was from Black Mark.
From the demo ´Sects of Doom` they took the song Genocide and
Black Mark´s comp-CD ´Out of the Box` was a fact.
Mental Crypt was one of the bands which received best response
around the world so in November -97, the band went to a studio
to record their first CD, on label Black Mark.
The record ´Extreme Unction` contains 8 songs and has received
very good response so far.
Until now, they have also participated on 2 other comp-CD´s:
Black Mark Attack II and A Black Mark Tribute II
At this moment, Mental Crypt, have left Black Mark Production.
They have recorded a CD promo, Ground Zero, at their own studio,
HairyBones Studio. It contains 3 new songs.
With this CD promo, they want to find a new record label.
Mental Crypt is a live band and wants to play live as much as they can
but to have the chance to hit the road, they need a record company behind them.
The band has Sound Swing behind them, a booking company and so far they have
been playing in Sweden with bands like:
Morgana Lefay, LOK, Vomitory, Gehenna, Godgory, Human rage, Dawn of Decay
Black Hole
Mental Crypt Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I am under siege of nightmare, creeping from behind
In blind frustration, scream out the hate
Frantic convulsion, I'm chained by fate
What's the reason to be born
When your soul is ripped and torn
Depressive pestilent existence living in a void
I have lost control, this is a black hole
Unyielding force of emptiness, mindless perished time
Suicidal fantasies, to me it ain't no crime
Manic obsession, caught in a trap
This is a dead end, a cul-de-sac
What's the reason to be born
When your soul is ripped and torn
My life is fading away
Born to decay
There's no reason to stay
Nothing matters to me now, no hope of a cure
Extinction of a wasted life, my vanity is pure
A weird repulsion against this lie
Ultimate solution, I want to die
What's the reason to be born
When your soul is ripped and torn
Feeling claustrophobic apathetic paranoid
Depressive pestilent existence living in a void
I have lost control, this is a black hole
Wipe out vanity
Poisoned sanity be gone
The lyrics to Mental Crypt's song "Black Hole" delve deep into the emotions of someone going through a life crisis.

The second verse continues with describing the person's state of mind, mentioning feelings of claustrophobia, apathy, paranoia, and depression, leading to a pestilent existence living in a void. The person feels as though they've lost all control, and it's a "dead end, a cul-de-sac". The chorus repeats the question raised in the first verse, as if to reinforce the hopelessness of the situation. The final verse talks about how nothing matters to the person anymore, and life feels like a wasted existence. The person feels like they are fading away, and there's no reason to stay. The song ends with the words, "Wipe out vanity, poisoned sanity be gone", almost as if the person has come to a decision about what they need to do to end their suffering.
