“Spectrum of Death is considered the holy grail of many Thrashers”
Originally released on a small Mexican label in 1988, Morbid Saint's debut has been
reissued on the Grind Core label in 1992. Combining the vocal brutality and rawness of German and South American thrash bands such as early Sepultura, Sarcofago, Sodom and especially Kreator along with the musical complexity of the bay area American thrash scene, Spectrum of Death is the holy grail of many Thrashers.
Also helping its "Be all end all of thrash" image is that fact that it came out in 1992, the same year Pantera's Vulgar Display of Power debuted at #4 at the billboard 200, marking the demise of thrash and rise of groove and metalcore.

Damien
Morbid Saint Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You were a child full of hate
At first I tried to stop you
But you knew it was too late
Grew to be a man
That would defy all the heavens
Only hope left on Earth
Damien, the son who has come
To bring death to us all
Damien, by the one of the seven
Black blades you will fall
Went to find the child
In the grave of thee unknown
Could not understand the reasons
Why you were not told
Hell hounds running wild
As Satan's blood flows
Through their veins
Once you have the blades in hand
Damien will be slain
Damien, the son who has come
To bring death to us all
Damien, by the one of the seven
Black blades you will fall
Hell civilization will fall
Pray Satan's hearing your call
Satan, you've lost all you built
To the hands of the truth
Found the sign of Satan
On his skull was 666
Took him to the altar
Placed beneath the crucifix
Pain of indecision
As you have to kill your son
Shot down cause thought insane
Satan, he has won
The song "Damien" by Morbid Saint is a story of an evil child who grows up to become a man who defies the heavens and brings destruction to the world. The singer of the song tries to stop him at first, but soon realizes it is too late. The only hope left is the "deadly seven," which are likely a reference to the seven deadly sins. The singer goes to find the child in an unknown grave, but encounters hell hounds and must use the black blades to slay Damien. The song ends tragically as the singer realizes he must kill his own son, who has become a servant of Satan.
The lyrics of "Damien" are a cautionary tale about the consequences of evil actions and the destructive power of hatred. The song's themes are echoed in many horror movies and novels, such as The Omen, which features a child named Damien who is the antichrist. The singer's desperation and sense of hopelessness are palpable as he tries to stop Damien, only to be confronted with the reality that killing his own son is the only way to save the world. The imagery of hell hounds and the sign of Satan add to the horror and the sense of impending doom.
