On this dark and stormy nightmare Where all your fears come true The howling of the werewolf Is calling out for you Trapped in hell for centuries No grave could ever sate my lust for flesh The time has come to face your fears This wolf is on the prowl To drink your blood Blood, like a fever in my brain Driving me insane But I know I have returned Now I’m back from the grave Can’t you see me coming This beast is back in town I’ll pound you to submission The hammer’s coming down Driven by a thrill to kill Empowered by the blazing winds of hell Screams of carnal agony Is fuel to my desire To watch you die Die, like your lord upon the cross nailed upon my claws You will know I have returned Now I’m back from the grave (Solo: Mathias/P-O) I have returned Now I’m back from the grave
3.	The Cellardoor 04:09	lyrics	buy track
You’ve always known of the presence That dwells under the floor The creature from your nightmares Embodied down below Banished from mortal kingdoms But freed from my demise Soon you’ll break your own promise To never go down the Cellardoor Where I hide In the corner of your eye Down the cellardoor Where I hide Waiting for my time to strike ‘Cause you know When you’re here There’s no sunshine anywhere Down the cellardoor Where I hide In the darkness where I thrive Down the cellardoor For centuries I have listened To prayers to your lord “Deliver you from evil”, hah, Your god can’t help you now Frozen, your heart stops beating Behind you there’s a roar Rising up from the shadows Tonight you’ve opened the Cellardoor Where I hide ... (Solo: P-O/Mathias) Down the cellardoor Where I hide ...
4.	The Witching Hour 04:45	lyrics	buy track
There’s something there can’t you see In the dead of the night There's something there and you know That it just isn't right Have I lost my mind? Dear God, give me a sign In the witching hour Then suddenly through the mist The shadows appear They seem to whisper my name Enticing me there If I only knew What they want me to do In the witching hour Blood will fuel the fire In the witching hour I will give in to their desire I will burn alive On the funeral pyre I must give my life So that the master can live once again The dark embrace of the priestess welcomes me home To take my place on the stake where the legends are born You will know my name When I’m reborn in the flames And so the ritual begins When the circle’s complete The thirteen candles ignites the fiery feast Through my charred remains Satan finally reigns In the witching hour ... In the witching hour I am reborn in the flames In the witching hour You will remember my name I am the bringer of eternal darkness I am the rock on which you’ll break Yes, I am the epitome of mankind’s greatest sins I am your greatest fear (Solo: Mathias/P-O) In the witching hour ... I am the master who lives once again
5.	Werewolf of Steel 03:44	lyrics	buy track
From the darkest depths of Hades Born of sulphur fire He’s been sent to cleanse the planet And reset our race For your crimes he’ll make you suffer So prepare for judgement He’s the lycanthropic saviour Here to end our ways There’s no time for him to watch you bleed For tonight he came to breed and feed He’s a bloodthirsty killer with a heart of gold He’s a delicate lover and a deadly foe He’s a hideous creature with a sex appeal He’s the Werewolf of Steel He’s the master of seduction Hairy Casanova All the ladies beg to serve him On their backs or knees An erotic end awaits them Fifty shades of crimson On a feral rollercoaster Built to kill and please Just one look will set your heart ablaze And his touch will make you lose your face He’s a bloodthirsty killer with a heart of gold ... (Solo: Mathias) (Verse solo: P-O) But you know your fate is sealed today ‘Cause you know he came to make you pay He’s a bloodthirsty killer with a heart of gold ...
6.	Luna 04:11	lyrics	buy track
She got her name from the Midsummer moon She turned eighteen on this friday in June It was that night that I paid him my due Down by the lake where the white lilies grew Years of starvation would come to an end If I gave him my sweet Luna’s hand Little did I know what evil awaits Where the sun casts it’s gold on the waves Luna, Luna, Luna, my love You are lost, but your memory lives on Luna, Luna, Luna, my child I’m still here, but tomorrow is gone Always unyielding she reached for her knife Said to the fiddler she won’t be his wife Into the water she let her blood flow Down by the lake where now red lilies grow Just like the passing of bright summer days A whole life filled with sun fades away Lay on her softly, oh sweet morning dew She put so little weight unto you Luna, Luna, Luna, my love ... (Solo: Mathias/P-O) Luna, Luna, Luna, my love ... Luna, Luna, Luna, my love In this lake I shall end my life too Luna, Luna, Luna, my child Let these waves carry me back to you
7.	For the Horde 03:34	lyrics	buy track
It’s early morning The air feels old The sun is glistening in the fresh blood of our enemies This battlefield we’ve chosen To be our last It’s where we’ll make our final stand For the Horde For the Horde For our brothers who fell in war For the Horde For the Horde For the Horde For our brothers we’ve left behind For the Horde Prepare your weapons Pick up your shields The tides of darkness breaks against the shores of our destiny No need for reason, brothers Or question why We are but here to do or die For the Horde ... (Solo: Mathias/P-O) For the horde Our memory will remain We’ll never fade away For the Horde - we’ll fight forever For the Horde - and die together We will conquer the Alliance - For the Horde For the Horde ...
8.	Love Will Tear You Apart 04:38	lyrics	buy track
On the night I met her Just before the show Said her name was Lilith and that her drink was running low Whispered softly to her “Come back to my place” My blood boiled hot in her cold embrace She said “Come, boy, let me feast on your soul Beware, I might swallow you whole Just let me in, give me control For a night full of vice in my cavern of ice For love - I would steal the stars from above Just to feel her here by my side Should have known this right from the start Love will tear you apart Love will tear you apart I can not remember How it was before My unwise decision to let a vampire in my door (Verse solo: Mathias) But there’s no denying Even with her flaws I quite like scratches from bird-like claws I’m a main course in her nocturnal feast Sex toy for a deviant beast Like it or not, but baby at least If I do what I’m told I will never grow old For love ... Love breaks more than your heart (Solo: P-O/Both) Love grows in mysterious ways Mine laid in her serpentine gaze Her frigid heart set mine ablaze Maybe Lilith is dead, but she’s still in my bed For love ... (End solo: Mathias) I would steal the stars from above If I fail I’m still gonna try Should have known this right from the start Love will tear you apart Love will tear you apart Love breaks more than your heart
9.	Higher 03:07	lyrics	buy track
Girl you know, you are the one Without you, I cannot breathe But you are always by my side Faithful and true Burning in my veins Numbing my pain I’m addicted to you, ‘cause I know that you make me Higher Than the mountains You lift me up with your kiss of fire Higher Than the clouds When I’m around you You make me touch the sky In your arms, I feel so safe With each touch, you shelter me For I have demons in my mind No one can see You’re the only one Who brings relief I’m addicted to you, ‘cause I know that you make me Higher ... (Solo: Mathias/P-O) Every time, we meet again I’m convinced, this is the end You’ve got me begging on my knees Please let me go Gotta get away Gotta quit you I’m addicted to you, ‘cause I know that you make me Higher ... High forever I just can’t stop this playing with fire Higher Than the eagle When I’m around you You make me touch the scythe
10.	The Nightmare Never Stops 04:39	lyrics	buy track
Another night with the man of your dreams The kind of guy that could make a girl scream Always there You and him together The boiler room was his fiery womb His razor blades will lead you to your tomb For his sins You will die by his hand He has returned to take revenge on all of us Don’t fall asleep or you just might wake up dead He has returned to take revenge on all of us Don’t think you’re safe just ‘cause it's all in your head ‘Cause he knows your fears And he knows your secret desires ‘Cause he knows your tears And he knows your intimate lies The nightmare never stops What is this, is that blood that you feel? Does it mean that the nightmare was real? This can’t be Is it true, can sleep kill? There’s no escaping, you’re caught in his maze Lurking in the shadows, the killer awaits Lock your doors Stay awake forever He has returned to take revenge on all of us ... ‘Cause he knows your fears ... (Solo: P-O/Mathias/P-O/Mathias) He has returned to take revenge on all of us ... ‘Cause he knows your fears ...
11.	Bane of the Light 03:49	lyrics	buy track
Summer sheds her skin as autumn spreads her wings All hallow’s eve, the night is full of sin Fallen angels dance to rhythms of the night Souls of the Damned prepare unholy rites You feel that there’s a chill of winter in the air And the scent of death is everywhere Better lock your doors and stay inside ‘Cause the gates of hell are opening wide Demons of the deep awake from ancient sleep Eye for an eye, their time has come to reap Spreading the disease, they come for your demise You can’t resist, seduced by wicked lies You hear those endless whispers of eternal night With the promise of infernal might They will make you who you want to be If you only let them set you free Can you feel the fire burning inside? Follow your desires into the night Listen to the fire burning inside Come and take your place as bane of the light (Solo: Mathias) All the world’s a stage and we are merely players They’ll play the prey and we will be the slayers Let us lead the way, our destiny awaits Open the gate, go out and seal their fates Now listen, you’ve been left behind by all your friends You are all alone until the end Kill them all before they kill you first It’s the only way to lift this curse Can you feel the fire burning inside ... (Solo: P-O) In the depths of the darkness glows a fading light Extinguish it and yield to the beauty of night For your doors of perception are now open wide Accept it and arise as the bane of the light Can you feel the fire burning inside ... All hail bane of the light!
12.	Raise the Dead 04:35	lyrics	buy track
Dusk casts it’s shadows on the ashen realms of men And the sky turns red Souls of the departed’s wailing as I take control Of what’s left behind Do not fear death It’s not the end It’s just a new beginning Heed the call Stand and fight Be a part of the undead army Rise - my fallen warriors Rise - your master’s calling Rise - the skies are falling Rise - tonight we raise the dead Screams in the distance echoes through the battlefield From beyond the grave Man and beast shall tremble at the sight of dust and bones Charging forth tonight Every man lives Not all will die They’ll all be mine in the end As in life So in death Mindless puppets at my disposal Rise - my fallen warriors Rise - your master’s calling Rise - the light is fading Rise - unleash your battle cries Rise - my fallen warriors Rise - your master’s calling Rise - the skies are falling Rise - tonight we raise the dead (Solo: Mathias/P-O/Mathias/P-O/Both) We have returned Rise ... Now we're back from the grave

about

Building on but further expanding the musical direction of debut album “Preludes & Nocturnes”, Carnal Agony's second album “Back From The Grave” was unleashed upon the world July 10th 2020. The first single, “Werewolf of Steel”, and the second single, "Love Will Tear You Apart", are paving the way as perfect examples of the aforementioned concoction of addictive melodies and relentless rhythms. The aural assault is completed by anthemic stompers like “The Witching Hour” and fast-paced bangers like “Raise The Dead”.

With the album the stage is set for the band to engrave the name “Carnal Agony” in the hallowed pages of metal history. Be sure to follow them on their triumphant journey back from the grave!

about

Carnal Agony Umeå, Sweden

If Judas Priest and hit song writer Desmond Child would have a love-child, it would undoubtedly be a hideous creature with a sex appeal. Much like Carnal Agony. Hailing from northern Sweden, the band is on a mission to pick up the torches left behind by their musical heroes. Their incendiary blend of metal energy and pop melody, spiced up with classical comedy horror themed lyrics is out now! ... more
