7) Bellor - Rejoicing in the Fall of Babel
5:15, guesses at the lyrics:
Oh...
(?)
Oh great city, your (?) has come
(?) such violence,
The great city of Babylon will be knocked down,
Never again to be born!

Babylon the great has fallen, fallen,
Babylon has fallen, to rise no more,
Babylon the great has fallen, fallen,
Babylon has fallen, to rise no more!

(?)
Fearing darkness, holding back
(?) to attack!
(?) you will cower,
Your destruction will come in hour (?)

Oh raise the name, His majesty,
Oh praise Him for the truth we see,
Christ the King has set us free,
Hallelujah!

(?) kingdom falls
(?)
Lord your God is (?)
(?) darkness to the light
(?) received (?) bright
(?)
Babylon the great shall be your grave

Oh raise the name, His majesty,
Oh praise Him for the truth we see,
Christ the King has set us free,
Hallelujah!

(?) devil worship
(?) dark distortion
Free your children from the lies
(?)
No more (?) deceiving light
Cowards terror from the sight

Oh raise the name, His majesty,
Oh praise Him for the truth we see,
Christ the King has set us free,
Hallelujah!

Oh raise the name, His majesty,
Oh praise Him for the truth we see,
Christ the King has set us free,
Hallelujah!

Released on Myspace:
Achan
6:34, lyrics:
Many cities had Israel won
by the hand of the Lord
Led by Joshua the son of Nun
one more God would afford
Jericho has been given unto
my people this very day
Heed this command I give unto you
Give word for all to obey

Everything within these city walls
shall be accursed by God
Take not of its spoils when the city falls
burn it all down to the sod
Silver, gold, brass and iron
concentrate unto the Lord
Take not of its spoils, leave all in ruin,
lest you be cursed by the Lord

Achan! Achan! Achan!
brought down the curse of God

Seek not the things of this world as we walk this sod
Seek Him first in all that you do and everything He gives to you
Find favor with the Lord
VICTORY SHALL BE OURS!

But there was a man given over to sin
Achan of the house of Zeb-di
Who took for himself the forbidden
three things which he did see
Silver, gold, a Babylonian robe
he hid underneath the ground
The curse of God he brought down on his home
he didn't think that he'd be found

Achan! Achan! Achan!
brought down the curse of God

Seek not the things of this world as we walk this sod
Seek Him first in all that you do and everything He gives to you
Find favor with the Lord

The battle of A-I was at hand
Joshua sent men to spy
Don't send us all for there are few in this land
assured victory's in sight
But Israel was crushed by A-I's hand
Joshua cried out to the Lord
Word of our defeat will soon cross the land
into their hands we'll be poured

Achan! Achan! Achan!
brought down the curse of God

Seek not the things of this world as we walk this sod
Seek Him first in all that you do and everything He gives to you
Find favor with the Lord
VICTORY SHALL BE OURS!

Get up from the ground and look to your own
the defeat has come from within
Worldly greed destruction it's sown
Joshua cried show us this sin
The families of Israel were brought one by one
'til Achan and his sin were found
You've sinned against God and caused us ruin
your all will be burnt to the ground

When sin is destroyed
God's wrath will cease
VICTORY SHALL NOT END!

HGUOLS



BAND NAME: Hguols
GENRE: Symphonic / MIDI Black Metal / Folk / Electronic
STATUS: On hold
LOCATION: United States (Illinois)

Formed in 2005. An instrumental song was completed using live instruments, but it was lost in a house fire. The project went on hold for a few years, and then resumed activity with the MIDI / programmed sound it has today. Currently, the project is on hold again.

All songs, to my knowledge, are instrumental.
The name is "pronounced 'Fulse' ~ rhymes with Pulse". [1]

The name “Hguols” actually derives from another band name; a group I, Thomas Eversole, was involved with in 2003-2004. I was the active drummer in a gore-grind band called Slough for a solid year. [...] Slough had lyrics full of propaganda, simplistic music as well as a lifestyle I have since left behind. The name is defined in multiple ways – a state of moral/spiritual demotion, or, to shed as a snake would slough skin. I wanted to start a new project absent of propaganda, simplicity and the lifestyle I was currently living. I wanted moral and spiritual promotions and was ready to put on some thick skin; thus the Hguols concept was born. [2]

About Redux Epitome:
"This special 2015 re-release of 'Epitome' renamed 'Redux Epitome' has swapped out the MIDI/computer sounds for multi layered KORG M1 Instruments. Because of the instrument lineup change, (and a few other changes to the songs) the genre of music has also changed to a (techno) Speedcore or Terrorcore sound."

About Redux²:
A remastered/reworked version of Redux Epitome. (Since that, itself, is a reworking of the debut, that makes this 2021 version double reworked, hence the "²" / "squared" in the title.)

Em noites frias pelos montes do sul
Ventos profanos onde reina a morte
Negras formas luxuria e sedução
Maléficos hinos cultuando a pã

Sadico, erótico príncipe de vampiricos encantos
Com ninfas nuas em seus negros jardins pagã alquimia.

Trilhando caminhos, portais da escuridão
A luz que sai do trono sublime transformação

O que estava morto agora ganhou vida
As fontes outrora secas eis que transbordam rios de água viva
Sempre haverá uma Voz anunciar terás vida em Olhar pra minha Morte.

Infernal blackened shadows surround me
Cold winds freeze my pale flesh
Demons search for a dwelling place
Behold I am who they seek
Darkness envelopes
Evil attacks
Night falls as voices call
From deep within nocturnal forest
In the distance they beckon me
Yet I feel their cold breath near
Darkness envelopes
Evil attacks
The Master, summoned
belial is banished
I beckon the Almighty God
My hand outstretched to Him
He rescues me from my fate
A fate surely worse than death
Behold, I ow my life to Him
Shall I ever be alone
Never
The Eternal One shall never abandon me
Nor will I ever be forsaken
For He doth shield and protect me
In the shadow of His Wing
For darkness enveloped
Evil attacked
belial's hordes
The Master conquered

Discography:



Sacred Forests (album, April, 2011, Independent)
Format: CD

Since this CD was so rare, I asked my friend warbound on The Blackest Light to get a couple pictures of it. Instead, he took the time to get pictures of the CD, the packaging, AND EVERY PAGE OF the booklet! MANY thanks, dude!! Here are the pictures. Click on each one for higher res.

1) Lost
2:24, lyrics:
I see the birds
The streams, the leaves
I see an innocence that has long left me
I see beauty in its purest form
And I wonder...
And I wonder...
   Will I ever have peace?

2) The Wanderer
2:05, lyrics:
Once more I rise from rest
I wander
In emptiness I wonder
Once more I rise from rest
And I wander
In emptiness, in emptiness I wonder
If it is in vain that I wander
Somewhere between life and death
Dream and reality
Nothing is right
And nothing is wrong
I cannot leave
I cannot leave, but I cannot stay
That is why I wander

3) Into Blackness... 
 3:12, mine and warbound's guesses at the lyrics:
Into the cold
I traverse
Into the blackness
I immerse myself
Into the cold
I traverse
Into the blackness
I immerse myself
(Repeat)

4) The Swamp
1:25, lyrics:
The swamp
Shrouded in mist
Is singing a strange song
Some might call it foul
... and evil
To me the song is enchanting
It calls me before the dawn
Hauntingly
How strange you are
So rotting, so old
... and so full of life

5) Eternal Woods
2:22, lyrics:
The trees call to me
The silence speaks to me
The coldness seeps in my soul
Encompasses my heart
My heart
My heart
My heart

6) Mystical
6:24, lyrics:
One day (as fate would have it)
I stumbled across a glade
In this glade ran a mountain stream
And in this stream ran sacred water
A mist encompassed all
And a pale light illuminated
The light did not come from the sun
The light did not come from fire
The moment I entered, I knew
From the depths of my soul, I knew
That this was holy ground

The one word from my defiled tongue to describe - mystical

7) And the Mountains Didst Outpour Their Wrath
3:22, instrumental

8) Holy
3:10, lyrics:
(Zechariah 1, 14; Ezekiel 7; Amos 8; Nahum 1, 2, 3; Isaiah 23)
Disaster!
An unheard of disaster is coming
It has roused itself against you
It has come
The time has come
The day is here
There is panic, not joy
Upon the mountainside
The day is here
Outside the sword
Inside the plague
Sackcloth and hunger and chains
Terror, pit, and snare
When terror comes, they will seek peace
But they will find none
Many, many bodies flung everywhere
Silence
Who can withstand His indignation
Who can endure His fierce anger?
His wrath is poured out like fire
The rocks are shattered before Him
Hearts melt
Knees give way
Bodies tremble
Every face grows pale
Woe to the city of blood
Piles of the dead
Piles of the dead, people stumbling over corpses
Blood like dust, entrails like filth
I will cut off man from the face of the earth
Herded together like prisoners
Your flesh will rot...

(Not in the booklet, not sure if these lines are 100% right)
The dead have come in darkness
Glory to the Lord

9) Possessive Moon
4:47, lyrics:
(Please note, I am not 100% sure if these are the full, correct lyrics. Several sections are out of order in the booklet, some lines are omitted entirely, some are repeated but not listed as doing so in the booklet, etc.)

nam yb delifednu dnal siht nI
dnuorrus dna esira stirips tneicnA
luos ym hguorht stuc dniw llihc A

Walking into the nocturnal forest
A chill wind cuts through my soul
Ancient spirits arise and surround
In this land undefiled by man
A pale light illuminates
A pale light that guides
The black trees
How intimidating they seem
That they would allow me to enter this realm
A chill wind cuts through my soul
And I am genuinely frightened
Ancient spirits

Yes
Yes!
This is how it should be!

nam yb delifednu dnal siht nI
dnuorrus dna esira stirips tneicnA

10) The Desperate Desire...
3:18, lyrics:
Isaiah 59:9-10, Latin Vulgate
Propter hoc elongatum est iudicium a nobis, et non adprehendet nos iustitia. 
Expectavimus lucem, et ecce: tenebrae; splendorem, et in tenebris ambulavimus. 
Palpavimus sicut caeci parietem, et quasi absque oculis adtrectavimus. 
Inpegimus meridie quasi in tenebris; in caligosis quasi mortui. 
(Repeated various times)

11) To Gaze into the Creator's Eyes
3:08, instrumental
