"Cross the Styx" del 1992 è il primo album di uno dei più importanti gruppi death metal olandesi insieme ad Altar, Callenish Circle, God Dethroned, Pestilence, Prostitute Disfigurement e Severe Torture.
Quest'album è molto influenzato da gruppi come Cannibal Corpse, primi Death, Deicide e in certi riff dagli Obituary. L'album è senza tregua e naviga tra death metal e brutal death. L'intro e l'outro danno delle leggeri passaggi strumentali goticheggianti. Il growl molto marcio e cavernoso come la parte ritmica rende ancora più distruttivo quest'album che è uno dei monoliti del death metal, la produzione non dà giustizia a questo semi-capolavoro rendendo minore il muro sonoro distruttivo della band.
Da sempre quest'album è uno dei più sottovalutati del death. Comunque consiglio l'acquisto a tutti gli amanti del vecchio sano death metal senza alcun compromesso, lava incadescente per quasi 40 minuti. Per i 10 anni del cd la Nuclear Blast ha ristampato il cd col secondo, Diabolical Summoning.

1-Carnificina Scelesta (intro) 1:31

06 Cross the Styx (04:52)
Rise into the elder world
the burning purgatory
deadly cosmic terror
the lowest dephts of hell
I signed the book of blood
by will - now that's a fact
marked by the numbers
of predominance
lead me to the path of perfect celebration
I've been reborn in a world of consumption
Arisen in blasphemy
mutilation I need
consume souls eternally
for my torment they will bleed
Realm of darkthrone
netherworld of doom
cruel horned spirits
everlasting ghouls
Flowen from the dephts
dark horned mutations
million tied up souls
infernal slaves of manipulation
Cross the Styx
I call on thee
blind idiot god of chaos
goat with a thousand young
god of perfection
Cross the Styx
Pumping the agony through my veins
as perpetual pleasure it enters my brain
swallow the lunatics of god's creation
their tumors create a sacrificial lust
grime crippled putrescent infants
melted and fused by demonical abcesses
reincarnation of perfection
behind the forbidden sinister gates
Souls drowned in the blood of Oblivion
dragged in the stream of the inflicted access
zymotic slime of substracted skin
into damnation tortured infinity
(lead : Ron)
(lead : Andrˆ)
Cross the Styx
10 Epoch of Denial (03:44)
Epoch of denial
Visual deceit
two horned grown in man
disembody thee
Entreaty of lies
from her melting face
insolent contempt
to divide god's ways
Rise to the horns of capricorn
burn at the stake witch burn
inside the womb dies her unborn
melt into one repent
Execrate the human whore of beast
rise from the blackened soil
Reborn the epoch of truth
torture purified the soul
virgin cleansed from demon seed
no longer alive but free
Sacrifice
innocent life
your fear of god
is fed by superstition
I summon on thee
victims of inquisition
gather and feed from the corpse
(lead : Ron)
Submit to the call of the beast
rise from the blackened soil
Reborn the epoch of truth
torture purified the soul
virgin cleansed from demon seed
no longer alive but free
