Note: This is about a band from Ecuador. Not to be confused with xDoulosx from the USA.
BAND NAME: Doulos
GENRE: Blackened / Brutal Death Metal / Grindcore
STATUS: Unknown
LOCATION: Ecuador (Latacunga/Riobamba?)
The band have said they're from Latacunga, while Metal Archives mentions Riobamba. ... Maybe they have members in both locations?
Some places say they formed in 2000, some say 2001. Even the band's official pages give conflicting dates.
....... They might have changed their name to "Esclavos" at some point? This page says "Esclavos [antes Doulos]" ("antes" is Spanish for "before", "previous" etc) and the account is friends with Ayary and Pathryark, showing this is the same band.
While nowadays, it's probably best to get in touch with them via Facebook, they used to have email addresses at:

1) Injurias al averno
6:29, lyrics:
Cubro mi ser con su sangre,
llamas de fuego toman posesión,
antorcha humana de sabiduría
guíame al día de la eternidad.
Truena Kuryos con tu gloria profanando herejías
No hay lamento ni condena solo honra al Yo Soy
En el abismo de la muerte, un sarcófago exhibido
La bandera que flamea es de Cristo el Salvador
Solo a ti Señor doblo mis rodillas,
toda potestad tienes oh Cordero
tu trono celestial ilumina mi ser,
la gloria el honor para ti Adonai.
No hay retorno de polvo en tierra
Ni barro que reclame su sangre
Las tinieblas se humillan a la luz
Cuando el peregrino de la eternidad por el viento va
Mis pies enrojecen por la sangre altiva
de mis enemigos que veneran la maldad,
las huestes del infierno se preparan a su exilio
destrozadas y humilladas por el Cordero redentor
2) Isaías 40.31 (Mortification cover)
4:02, lyrics:
Viviendo en oración
Caminando en la gracia
Realeza es mi herencia
Hay furia en mi sangre.
Volando a las alturas
Como el águila intrépida
Isaías 40.31
Isaías 40.31
Volando hacia el cambio
Destruyendo al odio
Con espada de hierro
La muerte me aprisiona
Sigo fiel a mi demanda
Como el águila Intrépida.

3) Pudrica maldición
8:33, lyrics:
Miro a la eternidad en la muerte de mi alma
para la esclavitud de este mundo.
El pacto esta consumado las tinieblas pisoteadas
por el primogénito de los muertos.
En el sacrificio del Cordero con su sangre soy rociado
Y redimido del maldito opresor.
Regreso a mi aposento en donde la gloria no se apaga
y su luz gobierna mi ser.
Las cicatrices del corazón han secado la fuente del manantial
y en la mente están tatuadas las sonrisas del ayer.
El murmullo silencioso de la vida es corto
y la herida mortal crece con cada respiro,
cuando has dormido en la región del polvo
y deseas caminar con el primer rayo de la mañana
sientes una voz que te dice no vayas
eres indigno de perdón todo esta perdido
descansa en el Seol. !!!No!!!
La luz se vuelve mas intensa
Consumiendo la maldición,
Victorioso desde un madero
El eterno salvador ha destrozado
Las calumnias del suplantador.
4) Injurias al averno (live)
6:29
There's a bit of talking at the beginning, and then I need to listen and see if the lyrics are the same as the studio version or if there were changes. If anyone feels like transcribing this audio for me, please do so! But I'll eventually try to do it myself.
Oculto (album)
Left:
2004-2005, ????, CD (or CD-R?)
Right:
2006, Nordic Mission, CD (or CD-R?)
2006, Eirene Records, CD (or CD-R?)
Not sure which version:
????, Extreme Records, "version for Brazil", format unknown
Bottom:
????
This is a bit of a mess to untangle.
The left version was used on the original version. Metal Archives says 2004, everything else I'm finding says 2005. I don't know which label released it. Metal Archives says it was self-released, but I can't find anything confirming that.
The Nordic Mission was added by myself back in 2016. Being that that was eight years ago, I've lost wherever I got that info from, but it must be accurate. I wouldn't just add random information to Metal Archives. Discogs also mentions this art variant being used for an Eirene Records version I can't find mentioned anywhere else online, also 2006. I don't know which of these versions the photograph of the CD case is from.
The Extreme Records version was briefly mentioned [on their old site]. I'm pretty sure Extreme Records only release CDs, but technically, no format is specified so I'm not sure. I don't have anything else about this version, but apparently the tracklist is the same as the other versions. Also, it was definitely released, not just planned -- the page says "throws", this is just a mistranslation of the Spanish word "lanzar" which is used to denote releasing music. (Literally "lanzar" -> "launch")
I have no info on the bottom version. It appears online... Could it perhaps be the artwork for the Extreme Records version?

2) Doulos
6:11, lyrics:
Sus miembros se marcharon al sepulcro del destierro
Devorando a nuestros hijos como muestra del horror
Entre todos sus amantes no hay nadie que defienda
A las doncellas despreciadas que marcharon su honor
El herido fue por nuestras rebeliones, Doulos
Masacrado por nuestros pecados, Doulos
Todo el castigo fue sobre El, Doulos
Por sus llagas hay salvación, Doulos
Porque no escatimo su deidad a que aferrarse
sino que decidió venir y hacerse cadáver
y librarnos de la muerte, del infierno y de la condenación
El rey junto a sus príncipes están como extranjeros
Los profetas solo anuncian falsedad y tonterías
Ciudad la venerada la aplaudida por imperios
Como siempre la modelo de vanidad y hermosura
Alzad vuestras miradas humillaos a su gloria
Jesucristo es el camino, la vida y la verdad
Con su sangre derramada limpio nuestros pecados
Humillándole a la muerte y brindándonos la vida
3) Oculto
10:45, lyrics:
Oculto en las entrañas de lo desconocido,
siempre estas presente en mis aflicciones y dolores;
hoy mi alma eleva este grito desesperado,
Oh Creador de la Eternidad ven y rescata mi ser
porque sin ti en los brazos del abismo estoy.
Dios!!! aquí estoy
Vuelve!!! vuelve tu rostro hacia mi.
Infinitas distancias he caminado
por los senderos de la soledad
encontrando solo culpa y ausente esta la paz;
Dios ven y abraza mi ser y oculto permanece en el,
hoy!!! hoy necesito de Ti.
Jesús!!! socorre, socorre mi alma
que aquí en la oscuridad en lo oculto
Te espero, y te esperare
4) Delirios de la muerte
6:17, lyrics:
Vengo de rodear el mundo
Veo destrucción del hombre
Apoyado en huecas filosofías
Deseando conquistar lo oculto
Criaturas de la noche con siluetas contaminan
Vendiendo lo profano blasfemando lo divino
Son disueltas por la sangre de Aquel ser inmolado
Escapando vacía el sepulcro con libertad sentenciada
Sus aflicciones desatan la tortura a la impiedad
Sangre y fuego destructor
Acaban con el ídolo carnal
Vencido ya fue en la cruz
Con poder del que tiene autoridad
Todos los cielos se abren y el Espíritu desciende
A morar aquí en su templo por toda la eternidad
Señoreando lo oculto asesinando a satan
La tumba vacía esta
La muerte consumida
El rey desde su trono
Devora a todo dios
5) Púdrica maldición
8:33, lyrics:
Miro a la eternidad en la muerte de mi alma
para la esclavitud de este mundo.
El pacto esta consumado las tinieblas pisoteadas
por el primogénito de los muertos.
En el sacrificio del Cordero con su sangre soy rociado
Y redimido del maldito opresor.
Regreso a mi aposento en donde la gloria no se apaga
y su luz gobierna mi ser.
Las cicatrices del corazón han secado la fuente del manantial

=== OFFICIAL ENGLISH TRANSLATIONS ===
PUDRICA MALDICION - ROTTEM CURSE
I look to the eternity in the death of my soul
for the slavery of this world.
The pact this accomplished one the tramped darkness
for the first-born of the deads.
In the sacrifice of the Lamb with their blood am dewed
And redeemed of the damned oppressor.
I return to my room where the glory doesn't fade
and their light governs my being.
The scars of the heart have dried the source of the spring
and in the mind the past smiles are tattooed.
The silent murmur of the life is short
and the mortal wound grows with each respiration,
when you have slept in the region of the powder
and you want to walk with the tomorrow's first ray
you feel a voice that tells you don't go
you are unworthy of pardon all this lost one
rests in the Seol. !!! No!!!
The light becomes but intense
Consuming the curse,
Victorious from a timber
The eternal savior has destroyed
The slanders of the deceiver.
INJURIAS AL AVERNO - INSULTS TO THE HELL
I cover my being with their blood,
fire flames take possession,
human brand of wisdom
guide me to the day of the eternity.
Kuryos thunders with your glory profaning heresies
There are not lament neither condemnation single honor to the Lord
In the abyss of the death, an exhibited sarcophagus
The flag that flames belongs to Christ the Salvador
Alone to you Lord, I bend my knees,
all imperium has oh Lamb
your celestial throne illuminates my being,
the glory and the honor for you Adonai.
There is not powder return in earth
Neither I sweep that claims their blood
The darkness humble to the light
When the pilgrim of the eternity for the wind goes
My feet redden for the cavalier blood
of my enemies that worship the wickedness,
the hosts of the hell get ready to their exile
destroyed and humiliated by the redeeming Lamb.
DELIRIOS DE LA MUERTE - DELIRIUMS OF THE DEATH
I come from surrounding the world
I see the man's destruction
Supported in hollow philosophies
Wanting to conquer the hidden thing
Creatures of the night with silhouettes contaminate
Selling the profane thing blaspheming the divine thing
They are dissolved by the blood of that immolated being
Escaping empty the sepulchre with sentenced freedom
Their afflictions untie the torture to the ungodliness
Bleed and destructive fire
They put an end to the carnal idol
Conquered it was already in the cross
With being able to of the one that has authority
All the skies open up and the Spirit descends
To live here in their temple for all the eternity
Dominating the hidden, murdering to satan
The grave empties this
The consumed death
The king from their throne
It devours to all god
DOULOS
Their members left to the sepulchre of the exile
Devouring to our children like sample of the horror
Among all their lovers there is not nobody that defends
To the rejected maidens that they went their honor
The wounded was for our rebellions, Doulos
Slaughtered by our sins, Doulos
The whole punishment was on The, Doulos
For their wounds there is salvation, Doulos
Because I don't scant their deity to that to cling
but rather decided to come and to be made cadaver
and to get rid of the death, of the hell and of the condemnation
The king next to his princes is as foreigners
The alone prophets announce falsehood and foolishness
City the one worshipped the one applauded by empires
As always the model of vanity and beauty
Raise your looks you humiliate you to their glory
Jesus Christ is the road, the life and the true
With their clean spilled blood our sins
Humiliating to the death and offering us the life
OCULTO - HIDDEN
Hidden in the bowels of that ignored,
always these present in my afflictions and pains;
today my soul elevates this desperate scream,
Creative Oh of the Eternity comes and my being rescues
because without you in the arms of the abyss am.
God!!! here I am
It returns!!! it returns your face toward my.
Infinite distances have walked
for the paths of the solitude
finding single blame and absent this the peace;
God comes and my being hugs and I hide it remains in the,
today!!! today I need of You.
Jesus!!! it aids, it aids my soul
that here in the darkness in the hidden thing
I wait for you, and I will wait for you
