Blackness Reality (demo/single, 1 February, 2003, label unknown)
Format unknown
Mentioned by Kem Marin in a Metal Archives report ("1 February"). The fan Myspace page mentions "Emblem of Glory" being recorded in 2003, meaning this would have been recorded then, too. I don't currently have any more info.

This is actually a [SorrowStorm] release. But since Felipe was Nocturnal Fiath's manager for awhile and he ran their label, one of their tracks was included on the disc to help promote them. Released before "Emblem of Glory".

1) Prelude
1:36, instrumental
2) Arrival of the Final Holocaust
6:50, lyrics:
Hear the echoes of the symphony of the dead
that bring within, the rain of blood and sorrow.
The ancient prophecy, the final holocaust
is the awakening of the true horror of the world
the legions of death come around to us
I'm a witness of this decadence
apocalyptical visions of destruction
when all feels the embracing of the darkness
The nations fall down, in the abyss of the eternal flames
waiting for the end, in this chapter of the humanity
In this trial of life or death
lies of Satan, malignant chaos
remove the sins of your heart
stand, and prepare for the war
the lake of sulphur, diabolical flames
eternal suffering, condemnation of life
screams of terror made from hysteria
the thundering voices of desolation
the legions of death come around to us
I’m a witness of this decadence
apocalyptical visions of destruction
when all feels the embracing of the darkness
take your sword, it's the hour of the final battle
fight for salvation, fight for your own soul
history foretold, insanity in demonic forms
your name I call, Jesus Christ, you are the only hope
for the redemption of this putrefied world
and break the chains of the enslaved human soul
in this complex paradox, with monuments of ironies
where human emotions don't exist
look at the sky, and everyone shall see
that the only way of salvation
is your own redemption
3) Emblem of Glory
6:02, lyrics:
Through the mountains we descend
to annihilate the demon seed
and glorify the holy name of Christ
we escape from darkness
where the masses are terrorized
where the suffering is incarnated
and the soul is impaled
evil in disguise
waiting for our demise
tears of blood we cried
but now we see the light
with euphoric madness
we are part of the legion
and ready for the battle
we will build the Emblem of Glory..!!
with our sacrifice
we will defeat our sins
Here is our seal of war..!!
we are your servants
we will spill our blood
and will defend your throne
with the holy armor
reborn of the world
finally comes
the end of pain and suffering
salvation is our reward
Satan you have lost
your empire will fall apart
by the power of God
you are totally destroyed..!!
we extol the name of Christ
forever..!!!
4) Cosmic Desecration
5:05, lyrics:
Inside the mind, and unfathomable error
its origins unknown yet of astral importance
cosmic desecration, the first temptation
affecting God and his creation
Loss for Satan, one third of the heavens now fallen to never return
the so-called victories of the goat
are really nuisances only leading further
and further towards his demise.
We are the products of our own volition,
the ends of our own decisions.
One third of the earth will suffer forever.
To survive, one must join us. To save yourself, you must deny.
Deny the cosmic desecration
You are a part of the kingdom of God
of the Lord’s plan
Inside me
Resides the flesh
spirits at war
battles within
Inside me
cries to burn
towards me
Inside me
the cries to burn
Inside me
Resides the flesh
spirits at war
battles within
The suffering burns my eyes
5) Blackness Reality
5:25, lyrics:
See the evilness growing in me
¡Oh! Master Jesus Christ, I need you...
I cry in loneliness...
I'm falling in decadence
the darkness embraces me
desperation is my madness...
Silent screams of despair
my own conscience makes me see my reality
the sins that are preventing my flesh
the spiritual memories I'm losing
With my doors closed
I can't face this trial of fire
it questions my wisdom, my hope and my faith in my lord...
I cry in loneliness...
and falling in decadence
the darkness embraced me
desperation is my madness...
the man:
"I surrender upon my own unfaithfulness"
God:
"Don't give up my son"
the man:
"¡Oh! my lord, tell me what I have to do..."
God:
"Don't allow the power of the evil into your heart..."
Silent screams of despair
my own conscience makes me see my reality
the sins that are preventing my flesh
The spiritual memories I`m losing
God:
"Your faith is in decadence
feeling like dying
bleeding in silence
let yourself meet my glory"
Silent screams of despair
my own conscience makes me see my reality

If
it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.
Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath:
for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink:
for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. (Romans 12:18-20, KJV)
Giving
thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the
inheritance of the saints in light: Who hath delivered us from the power
of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:
In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of
sins. (Colossians 1:12-14, KJV)

INFO:
1) Was "Whispering Death" Christian or not? 2) Metal Archives says Jose Saldaña did guitars; the fan Myspace says bass. Help? 3) More info on the "Blackness Reality" demo? 4) Track length (and lyrics, if applicable) for "Outro"? 5) Are these releases in the correct order? Several are released in the same year, but I don't have days/months... 6) There's mention of a "demo version" of "Blackness Reality" (lyrics are identical to the EP version). Could the version on the demo, and/or the SorrowStorm comp, actually be different from the EP version? 7) Also, if anyone happens to own "Emblem of Glory" and would have layout photos, I'd appreciate it!
IMAGES:
Both logos... They're a good resolution, but they're fairly pixelated.

Miscellaneous stuff:
Left: Slight variant of their newest logo
Right: While "Emblem of Glory" is mostly black and white, there are actually several bits of pink/purple. These are almost totally desaturated and invisible on the final product. They're emphasized here. ........ It might actually just be an error in the image file, but even if so, I still found it interesting.
