Nice, yeah, surprised that was overlooked, but then Hypocrisy seems to be one of those bands that flies under most metalhead's radar. How is the album? Actually going to check out some reviews on it now. Cover art's pretty cool...

It's been quite a long time since I've actually listened to it, but I remember liking it a lot. Can't say I've really heard much else of their catalog, so I'm not really sure how it compares.

Listening to a bunch of stuff in my collection I haven't checked out in awhile, and lo and behold, Therion's "Pandemonic Oubreak" (close enough) rules.

the name of the album by Anthrax: Spreading the disease.

the song ''Ridden with Disease'' by Autopsy

''Pestilent Decay'' by Repulsion

«Decadence of your mind
Sanity you can't find
Rotting flesh diseased your brain
Painful death the final reign

Stained with blood the dead now weep
Struck by plague and black disease
Stenching piles of mangled dead
Agony in their heads

Plague has struck the innocent
Virus of contagious death
Death infliction set on course
The earth is piled with rotted corpses

Omen of deadly fate
Sent into a world of hate
No more war only death
The earth becomes a fiery crypt»

This is badass. Another band I don't really know though I have plenty of Swedish Death from this era

This is from Beyond Sanctorum (1993) for anyone who's curious

And then this is pretty raw black metal circa 2001. I hear a lot of Bathory (never a bad thing) and maybe a dash of classic-era Marduk.

Kreator have a few that come to mind. "The Ancient Plague" does a great job at painting an apocalyptic scene, particularly with that speech and solo at the end. Then they've got the title track from Terrible Certainty as well.

Spoiler: show
Die! Slowly you're dying
From this contagious disease
Once you're infected there's no hope of a cure
Your passing is a sure thing
Your thoughts are empty and hopeless
Nothing is left for you now
Having to live with this terrible certainty
Praying is all you can do

It's vicious and crippling and slowly your life will end
But how long will it take to save us from the plague
With fatal convulsions the plague is reaching for us
God knows! What will it take to save us from the plague

Contracted by blood
The virus can be in us all
You're one of it's victims, but then thousands more
And they won't be the last
So many civilisations before
The mighty, the proud and the brave
The poor, the rich - Indiscriminate
Soon they'll all end in the grave


Pestilence is a must mention when it comes to Mille and Co ...

Somebody already mentioned 'Bring Back the Plague' by Cattle Decapitation, which fits very well, and a few more of their songs fit well in this thread methinks.

Manufactured Extinct (for the conspiracy theorists!):

Plagueborne:

One Day Closer to the Edge of the World (for a more depressed look at it):
Spoiler: show


And a song I think is particularly fitting but decidedly not a Cattle Decapitation song...

Advent Sorrow - Pestilence Shall Come:

Metsatöll's song Katk Kutsariks deserves a mention - it is about the plague, and the title means "Plague Coachman" (at least that's what they've said it means).



First verse in Estonian wrote:
Regi täna me külla tõi koolnu,
ruun härmas korskas ta een.
Külm keha, manalan naaldnu.
Katk ise oll' ajajaks eel.

First verse in English wrote:
A sleigh brought a corpse to our village today
Frost-covered gelding snorting in front.
Cold body, soul stuck in the underworld
Plague itself was the driver.

Vomitory - A Lesson in Virulence

Quote:
Erased into nothingness, escaping the memories
A vast pain slowly consumes, regurgitated intestines erupts

Genetic invention created from science
Lethal injection, infection that lives inside blood

Covered in virus, evolutions solution
Unstoppable vision, genocide the price to pay

And of course there's always CARCASS:

Blackhead and boils, pustular cysts
Chapped commodones, perspiring zits...

Pierce the blane - infected tissue starts to bleed
Diseased and plagued - tumours chew and feed...

...On ulcerated flesh...
...On facial mess...
...On blooming sores...
...On blistering warts...

Squeeze out the blood, the pus I extract
A rancid cocktail, steaming and black

Infested skin, bubbles and bursts
Hackne vulgaris, spluttering pus...
.......

Found another one that fits pretty well

Quote:
Ravenous winds spread the world’s disease;
A plague of corruption and human greed.

[...]

A fatal virus spreads rapidly.
Contagious.
Polluting the land.

Kömmand - Plague Doctor

"God-fearing village, screaming for a cure
By day they count their dead, by night they sleep so near

I came to them as friend, my shadow like a crow
I left not one behind, I relieved them of their woe

Plague Doctor am I, to all I will appear
Life is a plague, and I am the cure.

God-fearing village, silent beneath the sky
What takes in breath, must surely also die

To every home I went, until my work was done
I killed them all, I killed them all, one by one by one

Plague Doctor am I, to all I will appear
Life is a plague, and I am the cure."

Okay, that's actually not bad. The chugs and riffs are nice (not the most original, but ok) & the rest is okay too for a demo. Vocals remind me of old school South American Death Metal to some extent, and that's never a bad thing. First thing they need to do is beef up that band logo.
