    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 Dark" off the album After The Battle

lyrics

The darkness falls, the moon it fades away
Rest in peace, for tomorrow's judgment day
But confusing thoughts, are running through your head
Because nobody ever pronounced "You're dead"

How were you to know that you were ever gonna die
If this is all true there's not a damn thing you can do
But if these are all lies, open your eyes and look around
Maybe then somebody can dig you up from the grave

If there was a god, would he let you be
Caught up in confusion, and all this fucking misery
Do people remember the things you did
These were the people, who helped me close the lid

The only thing I can do
Is kneel down and pray for you
Maybe then you might be saved
From being thrown into a premature grave

Speak to me before I start to dig
Beg and plead before I close the lid
I'll laugh at all the sorrow you feel
You better rise before the tomb is sealed

Soon you're gonna see, what life means to me
Take my guiding hand, into the promised land
Like a grain of sand, cast into the sea
Is what your soul will be, for eternity

Now that the tomb is sealed
There's not a thing you can do
How was I to know that you weren't dead
You never listened to a word I said
Hear me laugh, when you are denied
Admittance into paradise
Your soul is gone, your heart is bleeding
Upon your flesh...I'll be feeding
