Carrion Vael: Captivatingly melodic, with sheer barbarity waiting in the wings.

Someone claims that the devil is in me! But more seriously The Devil In Me is a song with meldodic technical death metal band Carrion Vael. The song is taken from the album Abhorrent Obsessions and was released 12^th August via Unique Leader Records.

My pearl, my victim

No innocence can evict this

A sadist faith

All around all I see are the screams that are soon to be

Disfigured in his own flesh

One look in the mirror

To make you detest

I was born with the devil deep in me

Fresh, clean, young things

Unaware of perilous deeds

Their beauty wanes,

in the flames they remain

Until I speak their name

Ohhh, not all is known of that night

The moon it shined, casting dim light through the bittersweet vine

Abandoned souls shall be mine

Their bodies lost to the ground

Forgotten in time

Dig

I need the bones and the skin

The guts and anguish oh I thirst for the sin

Dig (echo)

I Sell their souls and pawn the rest to the flies

Murder castle!

How gruesome, my cast

In a cage, haunted by the past

I’ll swing I know

They hope I choke, on rope

Until there’s life’s no more

The devil, in a white dress

A dreamland, haunted by the sleepless

And when you see me, will you fear me

And will you turn your back and forsake me

As they begged, I pledged

It’s been withdrawn with no claims

My love can’t you see

I’ve got the devil in me

Ohhh, not all is known of that night

The moon it shined, casting dim light through the bittersweet vine

Abandoned souls shall be mine

Their bodies lost to the ground

Forgotten in time

Oh she resides in the depths of the limepit

Where the body decays and for a profit

No child, I’ll slay them all

And they’ll never know

My need to kill grows everlasting

Day by day I long for the respite

this blood, it gives my soul

And they’ll never know

Ohhh, not all is known of that night

The moon it shined, casting dim light through the bittersweet vine

Abandoned souls shall be mine

Their bodies lost to the ground

Forgotten in time

The band self-released their first effort in 2017, the full length album Resurrection Of The Doomed which was very well received and earned them fantastic reviews for their debut in this hard to please genre.
