Here is the fifth and final track of the Demo 1991 demo by the Florida based death thrash band Solstice. The song is called Netherworld . Solstice formed in 1990 in Miami, Florida, and they put out this demo the following year. Off the strength of that, the band would sign to Steamhammer Records, and htey would enter the studio in 1992 to record their debut self titled album. The band would break up in 1993. They got back together again in 1995 and recorded a second album called Pray only to break up again in 1997. They got back together briefly in 2000 and again in 2006. Since then, they have recorded two more albums and are still together as of writing this.

Lyrics:
More a state of being rather than a place
Hell is merely a stage for the soul
But all must walk the path
Uncertainty, the problem of pain
Experience second death
The soul that sins shall die, supposedly...

Consequence in the hereafter
Weeping, gnashing of teeth
This world revolves around conflich
And opposing forces.

Unquenchable fire to this stop could be the last
The inner sanctum not easily grasped

Left in limbo, unholy infants are then cast away]
Evil incarnate, govern the dead
Underdweller, monster among men
What will become of the condemned?

Separation point: Purgatory
The place of judgement for
The quick and the dead
The place where some will meet their end...

Left in limbo, unholy
Infants have been cast away]
Evil incarnate, govern the dead
Underdweller, monster among men
What has become of the condemned?
The terrifyinf flipside of heavenly paradise
Imgarey of endless torment
A blazing, infernal netherworld
Moreover, aren't we in hell here and now?
