    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

"The Abyss" off of the album After The Battle

lyrics

SUMMONED UP FROM HELL
OUT OF THE ABYSS
UPON THE WINGS OF DEATH
WE HAVE COME TO TAKE YOU WITH
BLESSED BY THE POWERS OF HELL
THIS IS THE LAND OF SIN
YOUR SOUL DIES DEEP INSIDE
A CORPS BURSTS FROM WITHIN

DAY BY DAY
YOUR POWER WASTES AWAY
DON'T TRY TO FIGHT
YOU CAN'T WIN ANYWAY
THE GOD OF HELL IS ANGRY
IT'S TIME TO PAY YOUR TOLL
TO CROSS THE RIVER STYX ALONE

A CHILL RUNS DOWN YOUR SPINE
YOU KNOW YOUR SOULS THE FEE
YOU HEAR A VOICE FROM HELL
YOUR SOUL BELONGS TO ME
ACROSS THE LAKE OF FLAMES
TO YOUR FINAL RESTING PLACE
IN SOLITUDE YOUR MIND WILL REST
ETERNALLY

DEMONS RISE FROM HELL
OPEN THE ABYSS
LET US SHOW THE SIGNS
AND BRING FORTH THE NATION OF DEATH

NIGHT AFTER NIGHT
PULLED DEEPER IN THE HOLE
SURROUNDED BY EVIL CRIES
TO RESIST YOU WOULD BE A FOOL
THE GOD OF HELL IS HAPPY
YOUR TOLL IS PAID IN FULL
A SERVANT UNTO HELL FOREVER

LISTEN TO YOU CRIES
TOO LATE TO BE SORRY NOW
WE DON'T KNOW THE MEANING OF MERCY
DON'T NEED YOU TO SHOW US HOW
WE'LL TERRORIZE YOUR MIND
WHICH ALL STARTED WITH GUILT
WE WILL DRINK YOUR LIVING BLOOD
TILL YOU DIE
