Band: Frost Like Ashes Title: Pure as the Blood Covered Snow Release Type: EP Year: 2003 Total Votes: 44 Total Views: 1821 Views Today: 1 Added on: Friday, Sep 16 2005, 5:48 PM Submitted by:Traveler in Time
Description: Kansas City isn't exactly known for it's metal scene, let alone it's black metal scene. In that sense, this 5-song EP it quite groundbreaking. This is an excellent example of what happens when bands break up, get back together again with a renewed musical vision, and exceed their prior efforts. Two of the members came from local band, Possession, who had quite a following in their day. Their material had a nice dark feel to it, and was a good combination of speed and death metal. Frost Like Ashes only builds on that. Gone are the King Diamond-esque vocals, and in are the trademark black metal shrieks and growls. There is also the subtle use of keyboards." -Sounds of the Dead
Thrown to the wolves and you relish the pain
Like a shriveled weed in a rotted bouquet
Glutted on death and you’re thirsty again
And like a dog, you return to your vomit
Your place of sorrows and all of your torments
Has become your home and all of your best friends
To quench your addiction inject the drug that has filled you
And to fulfill your life turn to the one that will kill you
Mercy to you
Oh, pearls before swine
God is mythology
In your twisted mind
You’re an open grave
A festering tomb
You live like an animal
And you’ll die like on too
You’re an accusing spirit; expose the dust in one’s eye
While your empty sockets swarm with maggots inside
Diseases infests you, infections make you blind
Yet you lie in your cesspool swollen in pride
Scream of your rights, instincts and your freedoms
As you gaze through the bars of diseased addictions
Go ahead, serve your master-for I know him well
He’ll throw you scraps from his table
until you’re devoured in Hell
To not believe in God
That does not mean
You believe in nothing, rather
You’ll believe in anything
Thrown to the wolves and you relish the pain
Glutton of death and you hunger again
Your place of sorrows and all of your torments
Has become a razed fortress and your God-forsaken friends
“For a spirit, evil, this way comes
Lament and howl, for this spirit from the North
As a lion coming up from it’s lair
It will destroy you!”
He will throw you down, your blood splatters
You’ll be trampled underfoot, your body mangled
You’ll become as refuse on the ground
When they go to bury you, nothing will be found
For dogs will tear and eat your rotting flesh
Your bones will be crushed and turned to dust
But this is just a taste of your fate
In this, you can trust
Your mothers and your daughters will be ravaged
Your pregnant wife, ripped open, torn apart
Your infant children will be crushed before your eyes
Wild beasts will steal your sons, they will devour
He will make your laughter turn to sorrow
He will turn your joy to agony
All that you have gained will burn in fire
He is on His way
Open your ears, listen well
When you’re destroyed, you will feel Hell
It will be better for Gomorrah
Than for you on that Day!
He’ll smear the offal from your feasts on your face
Your sacred places will be filled with human waste
Your desolation, so cruel and complete
The flesh of your children you’ll hoard and eat!
Open your ears, listen well
When you’re destroyed, will feel Hell
Rise then, bathe in Blood of The Way
Then you’ll be spared this fate!
You are the Ancient One
The Ancient of Days
The end and the beginning
The object of my praise
You’re the Morning Star
You’re the Midnight Sun
I Am that I Am
You’re the Victory won
You’re Lord Sabaoth
Father, Son, mysterious Ghost
Nefarious Ones tremble in fear
Of your innumerable host
You make the moon blood
Turn the Sun to black
You have slain thousands
With a single Spirit
We are adorers of blood
The blood spilt from your veins
The blood we drink in Eucharist
The blood we bathe our bodies in
Blood-wrought Salvation
You’re the Sacrifice of Blood
The Firstborn of the dead
Corpse fulfilled with sin
Word manifest to flesh
Slayer of serpents
Impending death of death
Castrator of sin
The bitter wine of Wrath
We are the possessed
Possession Aeternus
Your blood flows in our veins
We are The Victorious
Others charge You with murder
Others shake their fists at You
Others don’t realize
Your blood covers them too
Blood-wrought Salvation
We are adorers of blood
The blood spilt from your veins
The blood we drink in Eucharist
The blood we bathe our bodies in
Bathe me in Your Blood
Baptize me in the Fire
Pour your Spirit on me
Fill my cup higher and higher
and higher and higher and higher!!
Have you ever thought about your soul - can it be saved
Or perhaps you think that when you're dead
you just stay in your grave
Is God just a thought within your head
or is he a part of you
Is Christ just a name that you read in a book
when you were at school?
When you think about death do you lose your breathe
or do you keep your cool?
Would you like to see the Pop, on the end of a rope
- Do you think he's a fool?
Well I have seen the truth. Yes I have seen the light
and I've changed my ways
And I'll be prepared when you're lonely
and scared at the end of Our days
Could it be you're afraid of what you friends might say
If they knew you believe in God above
They should realize before they criticise
That God is the only way to love
Is your mind so small that you have to fall
In with the pack wherever they run
Will you still sneer when death is near
And say they may as well worship the sun
I think it was true it was people like you
that crucified Christ
I think it sad the opinion you had was the only one voiced
Will you be so sure when your day is near
say you don't believe?
You had the chance but you turned it down
now you can't retrieve.
Perhaps you'll think before you say
that God is dead and sone
Open your eyes, just, realize that he is the One
The only One Who can save you now from all this sun & hate
Or will you still jeer at all you hear?
Yes! - I think it's too late.
I have immortal life through
The Blood of Jesus Christ, I
Was unleashed from the chains of sin and death
I will never die, no
Redeemed, life of freedom
Eternal salvation, seated in heavenly places
I am immortal
I live forever
How sweet it is
Not to fear death
And how sweet
To know …Truth
Now when you lay down to sleep
I pray the Lord your soul to keep
But if you should die before you wake……
Go ahead and meet your death
Go ahead and feed the worms
Be content to vanish after your demise
But I will not follow you, no
Your way so pitifully mortal
I’ve been unleashed from this coil,
I leave this life Immortal!
I am immortal
I live forever
By timothy perez (04/01/2005 9:03:04 pm): nobody looks more stupid in corpse paint than this antestor knock offs, they suck
By raven (04/11/2005 7:43:54 pm): this band is NOTHING like antestor, whether in image or in sound. Pure as the Blood Covered Snow is a combination of black and death metal that leaves behind most [if not all] of the melodicism and 'folkiness' that plagues most modern christian blackmetal.
By ultmetal (05/16/2005 9:51:22 am): Frost Like Ashes is comprised of some of the former members of the most awesome Possession! These guys combine death metal, black metal and a bit of thrash for a very unique sound. They are FAR FROM an Antestor knock off.
By palehorse01 (07/01/2005 4:17:12 pm): Killer black metal. Everyone should own this!
By Frost_Like_Ashes (07/02/2005 5:45:25 pm): Being called an Antestor knock off isnt as bad as one would think...
but seriously they were never a band we considered an influence...
This was a demo that got released..
By Metalasaurus (07/20/2005 9:52:31 pm): I would give this album 5 stars except for the fact that it is too short. This is a brilliant piece of black metal art. The vocals remind me of Dani from the secular band Cradle of Filth. I can't wai for FLA to release a longer album.
By Blackmetal_PJ (08/29/2005 3:18:58 am): GREAT ALBUM :) this album rocks....
BRILLIANT VOCALS :) good melodies and... its fast..
4.5/5
PJ
By Vazal (09/10/2005 5:29:00 pm): if you like creepy, brutal death/black metal get this!!
By Miyu (02/16/2006 6:42:22 pm): I love this band ... this EP is very good, but the full length is even better.
By YahwehsNinja (02/21/2006 10:44:01 am): 3.5 Stars
By unblack (02/22/2006 9:55:21 am): this cd is amazing!!!!! only thing that kept me from giving it 5 stars is that their new stuff is even better!!!!! A Cruel Verse is downright amazing!!!!!!!
By ColdGripOfTerror (01/28/2007 12:34:25 am): I love this album.....lyrics are devistating,yet they show through God's love and grace...Good job
By Anonymus A (02/23/2007 1:30:19 am): A Christian black metal band from Kansas city...hmmm. who knew. I'll have to look into this band a little more.
By vampireiceviking (03/31/2007 11:41:35 am): This is incredibly good considering it's a DEMO. Even so, I prefer these songs over "Tophet"
By alphawolf89 (04/14/2007 7:04:30 pm): I love this EP. The vocals are similar to Dani Filth's vocals but they definitely have their own style. You can't get much heavier than this but it isn't just untalented racket which makes me love it so much. The 2nd track is the creepiest song I have ever heard. You should get it if you love extreme music but remember it is an EP. it's not a full length album.
By Zelote (07/22/2007 12:11:35 pm): very brutal album, one of the most brutal records that i heard
By Hezrom (09/10/2007 9:22:03 pm): A very good EP, better of the full album.
By Akel Dama (11/12/2007 4:33:17 pm): an incredible ep by one of the best bands in music today. fast, brutal, but still memorable. classic.
By unblackmig (01/14/2008 11:02:00 pm): Frost Like Ashes is the greatest Black Metal band ever! My fav tracks on this one are Adorers of Blood and Immortals. After Forever has got to be the most extreme Black Sabbath cover I've ever heard. I wish these maniacs would do a massive tour!
By ReapSoul964 (04/02/2009 12:49:23 pm): Definitely my favorite FLA release. I didn't like Tophet as much, because the drums sounded more electronic, even though I really LIKE triggers, but it is also a stellar album. The vocals are some of the most extreme I have ever heard, and that is definitely a plus.
