Tevho Gnarly riffage mixed with ass kicking drum passages and nail pounding bass lines. Definitely give this one a shot. Favorite track: World of Sorrows (Instrumental).

ClassyMusicSnob Pure Arghoslent worship. the riffs are grimy and brutal while staying purely melodic. It really is a shame that melodeath really just became stagnant by endlessly copying the Gothernburg. and German melodeath scenes and not trying anything else out. If the melodeath genre still had bite and attitude, perhaps it would be a better scene. Heres to hoping Dungeon Serpent starts a movement of melodeath with balls again. 4/5

k19chpili Dungeon Serpent does melodic death metal right! Thank yall for showing these other generic, boring, & cheesy melodic death metal bands how it should be done. Much love from Hawai’i. Favorite track: Cosmic Sorcery.

Necroscope 06:26
Sombre procession to the grave Wander in anxious silence Entombed in the season of rebirth Condemned to a rotting fate Marching to the orgy on golgotha Carnal eucharist ensues Repulsed the the abhorrent ecstasy Haunted by perpetual sickness Coffin of vines awaiting the corpse Crucified to the mossy earth Stigmatic wounds inflicted Another pain in a dying body Lying beneath the earth and waves Lurkers in the eternal grave Futility of preservation Finally at one with a cold creation Crucified to the silence of an empty field Thorns around my coffin Doomed to burial dust Rotting! Dreaming of death I gaze into the necroscope In the sleep of death overgrown by dismal rot Spark of corpse ignites the fire Foundations built from funeral pyres Mass cremation brings empire's fall Revel in the downfall's dawn
2.
Decay 05:36
Genocide arc bestowed by the prodigy Upon mutant children of man Devouring entity besieged them Beneath the slumbering immortal star Propagation of immortal decay Beneath the consumed monolith An abhorrence - risen from the sea An omen of immortal decay Incursion into the insane labyrinths A quest for salvation from their fate The answers they sought were lost to time A doom fell upon their fragile minds Denied the honor of martyrdom They are condemned to suffering Denied the mercy of martyrdom They are condemned to eternity

Setting out on my journey I was seeking my destination The ancient lost paradise Of shipwrecked soulsailors Dislocated spirit leaves my body My mortal shell lies curled in incubation Agony carved into the walls Of the chamber of reflection Endless halls with no doors Eternal crimson dimension Mirrors shattered to liquid tears As I brush away the crystal years Glass transmogrified into tears Shattering the crystal fears Surrounded by the symphonies of decrepit machinery The autumn wind tore through my bones Swept forward into a future With only hope and despair I recalled my past life in an azure flash A long journey, but only a brief larval stage Spiritual disembodiment... At the end of my jorney I was reaching my destination The ancient lost paradise Of shipwrecked soulsailors

...And the flowers vomited homunculi To populate the created kingdoms Kingdoms rising and falling as waves As children propagate as ashes 1000 epics hinted to In the span of but one verse As I gaze across the waste of time And behold the universe Entities spawned Walking in circles... Like me they walk Forming a fractal sphere! ...Thus begins my transcendence... Stars like sand beneath my feet Immersed in an ocean of black Submerged in the mythos of time I behold eternity...

about

"World of Sorrows" is 5 tracks and 30+ minutes of pure brutal melodic death metal. It is focused with laser precision upon a singular musical idea and goal: to create melodic death metal with a higher emphasis on the traditional death metal elements often neglected by so called melodic “death metal” bands, like blasting drums, lower vocals, and percussive & low morbid tremolo riffs, inspired by bands like ROTTING CHRIST, INTESTINE BAALISM, MI’GAUSS, MOLESTED, VEHEMENCE, EUCHARIST, and SADISTIC INTENT, as well as the earliest works of AMON AMARTH and KATAKLYSM. This disk is 30+ minutes of pure old-school, anti-trend, melodic death metal savagery sure to please any fan of the aforementioned bands.
