    FUNERAL NATION – After the Battle (Slipcase CD + Pôster + Stickers)

    Originally released by cultured TURBO MUSIC in 1991, ′′ After the Battle ′′ was the debut album by Americans of FUNERAL NATION. Particularly this was an album that marked the season, during the ′′ transition ′′ between traditional metal and the then-new feared Black Metal of the early 90 s! We can undoubtedly assert that Funeral Nation in its early career dealt with a nefarious continuation of Venom and Bulldozer's primordial releases in all its glory, but still keeping strong the tradition of Possessed and Exodus in its music. ′′ After the Battle ′′ leaves nothing to be desired to these mentioned bands and if you, headbanger of the former Venom / Bathory / Possessed Trinity worshippers or even the youngest fans who cultivate the eightentist metal, this is absolutely indispensable in your collection!

    This exclusive version of Brazil brings a slipcase with a varnished finish, plus an extra 24 × 36 printed front and back, with photos from the season!
    A limited release in 300 units - only for die hards!!
    ** This is an exlusive release for Brazil only – International orders, ask the band directly!**

about

"Midnight Hour" off of the album "After The Battle"

lyrics

The gong sounds, to summon the powers of darkness
The congregation speaks "HAIL SATAN"
The chalice held high by the priest
Sacrifice begins tonight

Black candles light the midnight sky
The blade raised toward the moon
Oh clean the air, my father's coming soon

SATAN, hear my cries tonight
I need no one to tell me wrong or right
BELIAL, ruler of the Earth
Prepare the mortals for the afterbirth

Priest now raise the blade
Plunge it down towards her breast
Bitch blonde I kill your God, I'll kill you too
Spill your blood I need your strength
Your soul belongs to me
Unholy lust now fills your loins
I'll fuck you till you bleed

Lightning strikes the midnight hour
The bell begins to chime
To the sign you're all God's children
Now you are all mine

Witches congregate around the cauldron
The congregation speaks "HAIL SATAN"
Demons rising up from hell
Warlocks gather around to cast a spell

Incantations break the silence, united by their spell
Before this evil night is over, we'll be one with hell
