Dissection - 01 - Intro/Severed Into Shreds (Demo)

Here is the first track of the The Grief Prophecy demo by the Sweden based black metal band Dissection. The song is called Intro/Severed Into Shreds. Dissection were playing death metal at this time and would change to black metal for their first album in 1993 called The Somberlain. Dissection formed in 1989 and released this demo in 1991. This was their debut demo. The band would break up in 1997 after two classic albums The Somberlain and Storm of the Lights Bane after members of the band would find themselves in prison, a pretty common occurrence for second wave black metal bands. They would reform in 2005 and release one final album called Reinkaos before the lead singer committed suicide.

Line up:

Lyrics:

Holding a magic cube
Not knowing about my fate
Prince of darkness
Leads my way down

As seas of morbid thoughts and shaped sets
In this evil spell
Deformed being laughing at you
Now you are in hell

Growing dead
Deep inside
The fear of my fate
Will I ever wake up ?

Hook after hook
Tearing your flesh apart
A red cascade flows
Is it nice to bathe in blood ?
Malignant severing
Slow excruciation
Cutting you to shreds
Why this abomination ?

Severed into shreds !
