Craven Blood 02:34
Sixty days of shelling Earth churned into mud The quick scramble into foxholes, the slow are now guts and blood Stukas scream and swoop Blasting embankments to bits The groans of panzer treads poisons my mind with dread Shattered spirit sapped of strength Determination dissolved in despair Break from line, flee towards fear Sweet smell of fresh hay Free of fell cries and carnage The shock of battle fades, recharging my resolve to resist Return with rapidity to abandoned line Stale with fleshrot and gunsmoke White rictuses piled high on earth unstained by my craven blood
2.
Open Grave 05:02
A vast putrid pit festers sweltering under a bleeding sun Innumerable husks twisted in angular pain: silent testament of man Weary battalions trudge towards Nanjing, burning and looting at will Asphyxiation of a defiant city in a fog of death and despair Passed down on high from the sun prince: orders to kill all captives Grinding cogs in a violent engine set about their gruesome work Forced at gun and swordpoint, defiling the inner flesh Mothers, daughters, young and old, in an everflowing stream of violence Prisoners herded like cattle through cannon and bayonet and fire Mechanized cacophonous abbatoir Fetid waste befouls the long river Lying in a filthy open hole, piled among violated carcasses in an open grave 扔在萬人坑中 滿地都是屍體 Forgotten in an open grave
3.
Wandering damned soul, died far from home Denied taoist rites, abandoned in the loam Monsoons winds thunder down, the earth begin to stir Infused by lightning, the corpse returns Sealing the corpse It cannot hear your pleas Sealing the corpse Before it steals your qi Green limbs stiff unbending, nails grown long in death Red eyes glow in darkness, seeking living breath Bound by rigor mortis, the corpse can only hop Until it's slaked its fleshthirst, the corpse never stops Sealing the corpse It cannot hear your pleas Sealing the corpse Before it steals your qi The ancient zombie trails shriveled bodies in its wake Exhale not as it passes near, it only smells breath of fear 猙獰怒視 全身僵硬 利爪撕裂 血盆大口 Armed with peachwood and taoist charms Bind with thread of blood and ink The motionless corpse can cause no harm Until the next victim lifts the charm
4.
山路 濃霧 發燒的剎車 山崖 我 大海! 身穿黑衣,群集壇前 齊唱金剛誦 梵唄穿過死亡之霧 洗淨塵世罪孽 覆著黃綾,人群肅靜 一位弔唁者跪下,哀傷的眼淚,靜靜流下 鋼棺中,肉體焚化 剩下白骨,化為灰燼 走上黃泉路 會看舊皮囊 撿骨筷把我放入甕中 腳先入,頭最後 金孫在腰上綁甕 一股不祥之感升起 帶走的不是我 無聲吶喊,衝不過陰陽界 錯的神主牌 裊裊青煙 我無緣享用 一個饑餓的孤魂
5.
Nanjing has fallen, the Imperial army marches Breathing a black pall in violent discharge Piles of the dismembered trail the invaders wake Rush along the yellow river; with steel Jinan will break Desperate situation; Okamura's forces look towards Wuhan The capital must be preserved Breach the river dikes, deny their advance Alter the river course, but millions must die Famine is sure to follow, families displaced from their homes To halt the eastern menace, China must sacrifice her sons They were given no warning Swept away in the night Swollen by summer rains, the Yellow River devastates Henan Once abundant fields now lie barren and wasted
6.
Violent revolt dismantles decrepit institutions Instilling fear in corrupt Western nations A red plague infects Europe A gang of godless amoral heathens Red annihilation A China divided amongst encroaching imperialists Red annihilation Fascists forcibly expel foreigners to unify a fragmented land Rejection of tradition, negation of failed culture Fetishistic embrace of Western revolutionary ideals Workers and students gathered for indiscriminate execution With hands bound and eyes blinkered Gore soaked blade separates the body from the head The streets of Shanghai run slick with blood In red annihilation Meddling in Southeast Asia Nuke hungry capitalists oppress the poor, feed the corrupt Moral hypocrites Napalm strike in villages, a flood of Agent Orange, Murdering China's stooges for a glorious American future
7.
Tear my abdomen open; a purifying sacred ritual Cast off the inner soiled mass, restore my viscera with blinding light Heavenly father! 上帝老爺, 耶穌大哥 I am the brother of Christ; Taiping unifies the world of light! 仇客分省; A clarion call to massacre and divide Uniting the despised, unholy crusade Imperial awakening, only God is real Baptismal faith distorts Taiping heaven kingdom A paradise shaded in hypocrisy
8.
Languidly imbibing black fumes Dreamlessly, it flowers through your veins Expansion.... Visions wandering nakedly Planar transmigration, journey beyond the waking mind reversal Future bleeding to past, a compulsory enslavement to the seed

Decibel - " A massive, yet immediately menacing production. Not so much a wall of a sound as a sustained blast of hot winds, debris, and various clobbering bones."

REVOLVER - "The realer the pain, the better the ripper."

Toiletovhell - "It whips sack."

Heavy Blog is Heavy - "Bottom line: if you need some pummeling death metal of the old school variety, Ripped to Shreds is your band."

Indy Metal Vault - "[It] demonstrates a smarter and more coherent approach to writing love letters to the Swedish scene of old."

CapitalChaosTV - "The album feels like a long dark journey... a fast death metal pace that never slows down its intensity."
