lyrics

5. Scourge of Lamastu (She Who Strangles the Lamb) -Akhtya Nachttoter
She is fierce, violent, Lamastu of divine power
Terrifying is the Daughter of Anu
Lamastu is a she-wolf, claws are the Anzu
Her hands are decay, face of a raging lion

Bring me your sons, I will nurse them poisoned,
Rotten pestilence, black blood
Bring me your daughters for I am thirsty
In the mouth of the young I shall place my breast

She who Strangles the Lamb
She comes forth from the marshes
Her hair hanging loose, and clothes stripped off
Lamastu’s hands, caked in flesh and blood

She enters the window, Lamastu!
Slithering over the door casing like a snake
Long claws, seize the infant seven times
She enters and leaves the house in the night

Lamastu, cast from the Heavens, crowned as a goddess
Prey upon this living world,
Drink and feed from the flesh of the living
Scourge of Lamastu

Kamadme, Spirit of Sumerian ruins
Vampyric Goddess whose powers are many
Lamastu, Labasu, Ahhazu, Seven times seven shadows
Bibitum (a demon of chills) on northern winds you travel

Saggastu!
Female murderer, the roaming ghost, demoness!
Vampyre who haunts the Steppe
Hand of the Ghost of a Murderer (Qat Saggasi)!

Samana, Jaws of a Lion
Teeth of an Usumgal
Claws of an Eagle
Blood-dripping mouth of Ninisina

Youth in Ribbons
by Revenant Marquis

supported by 16 fans who also own “Scourge of Lamashtu (She Who Strangles the Lamb)”

Revenant Marquis continues with the subterranean vocals on this album. Percussion sound on all tracks has a very large sound, especially the bass drum. Guitar is generally very clean. The more I listen, the more I get Xasthur vibes, but with a more rock and roll influence. Still very depressive and chaotic. A cool album! QQBeastMode

The Burning Spears Of Crimson Agony (Demo)

Some of the best raw black metal I’ve heard in a while. So many infectious riffs it’s absurd. Easily my favorite release from lamp of Murmuur. HyperboreanFrost

Late 90's BM worship, but it's also a lil more than that. This album takes the best elements from the scene it's inspired by and mostly avoids the worst of it; the song-writing is well-written, it's performed with passion and fun, and the production is raw but isn't lo-fi. (i.e. it doesn't obfuscate and/or suckass). Tl;dr It's safe but high quality BM. Recommended. Rabbit
