brianwilliams82 I usually run a mile from any kind of 'symphonic' elements in my metal... but this won me over. Furious duelling guitars like 'The Gallery' battling 'Hatebreeder' that are actually complimented - NOT overpowered - by the keys. High, high praise deserved all round for making this somehow work!

MetalPr1ncess Hands down one of the most talented melodic death metal acts out there. I haven't been able to stop playing Guise of the Deceiver & Dominion for over a year now. Greatly anticipating their North American tour!

2.	Dominion 05:10	lyrics	buy track
Our final hour bearing down to minutes and seconds The air you breathe will soon cease to be Controlled by greed and power, money cannot buy Now enslaved to this planet till death takes you away Nightmares haunt me of a life I thought I had Blocked out by fake memories, keeping me far from the truth foretold of cities burning and all rebels gunned down Faceless abominations born from all the radiation drifters of loneliness just to be put in their place forgotten nothing of this burning hell the fallen gasping for air with no signs of a helping hand choking pressure takes hold in their lungs, this planet becomes a cage scattered masses, none to blame scavengers made by tyrants One fiends for his identity lost Emptiness blends with his purpose Blood-borne instinct In the face of genocide, he searches for the one. to bring back his memories Your failing us show them your true face, your failing us, we are forsaken the fallen gasping for air with no signs of a helping hand He will endure beyond this struggle and bring this power down
3.	Born From Science 04:23	lyrics	buy track
The time has finally come my friend , So let’s stand our ground in the epic fight Calling for help from the old gods above, To defeat this foe of ultimate power We will not lose this battle, I promise Gaia you will, be saved I will stand to do the impossible and save you from evil, Parasitic doom Our courage and strength have been tried, The journey to this place, fucking painful The time for the dreams we had, come and gone, We are bound by a single conviction Amassed during the quest for life, From past to future we move onward We will not lose our true sight of victory, Foes beyond the comprehension of approach Defeat is not an option in our eyes, Fear the man with white long hair Unearthing his path among mortals knowing he does not belong A creature born from science with a soulless glare that kills Time has awakened his true power, Vengeance boils in his inhuman flesh Evil breeds within his heart, Once an ally in arms, now an enemy for eternity Imploding, gaining pressure, A dominating force of loathing, materialized A pulsing orb, intensifying, multiplying breath by breath From this there is no escape, We know we are not enough for this infinite power 1Knights of the Round, we summon you Bring forth your swords and strike down this malevolent bastard Ancient warriors, equip your armor, Ride forth into battle to defend our future Fear the man with white long hair Unearthing his path among mortals knowing he does not belong A creature born from science with a soulless glare that kills

Follow me into the woods I’ll show you everything you’ll need for this kill The pieces have been set this game has just begun Farther down this path of darkness, your minds clouded with fear On the edge of time where dreams are broken Ripped from your chest leaving you but a soulless pawn lost with no relief I wear the mask of lies planting seeds attached to strings pulling like a force of god I am in control Constant mass breeding through all their eyes I see, I feel such bliss Never warned of this path deceived from the fucking start My trap has been sprung with no chance of reprieve I’ve conquered every frail mind encountered never a challenge of mine I wear the mask of lies
5.	The Marble Gallery 04:47	lyrics	buy track
Enter my domain a world filled with horror awaits around every corner you take Eyes staring through the walls death creeps down your spine tonight Clawing at this casket as the presence of blood draws near a storm is coming Time is running out as night approaches fast I have awaken from my slumber With ever pulse of your beating heart in my hand I hear your fear Once a man like you I served for god only to be crushed by lies, only to be crushed by his might Suffer the same fate of all the ones that came before you Say your final prayers believe what you see in this world all is real in this realm Sprits come alive and bend to my will feasting on the living Drain all the blood from their veins, hang them from walls of damnation Like sands in an hourglass my teeth will be in you Laying slaughter to your body, laying slaughter to your worthless fucking soul I am cursed by the night Here I wait for a man sent from god under a full moon Unlocking the door to my chamber of solitude Sever my head, stab me in the heart, burn my body to ash I wait here for you here in this marble gallery This Marble Gallery

about

“In less than twenty minutes, this band has managed to craft something that is not only more unique than what most underground Death Metal acts are peddling, but also significantly better. 9/10 rating.”
Danny Sanderson - Metal Temple

“The clear cut “Bandcamp” winner of the year at this point in time, The Devils of Loudun have what it takes to make a name for themselves going forward. The integration of symphonic elements that enhance instead of take center-stage and riveting guitarwork keep them out of the crosshairs of a number of like-minded bands and set them on their own pathway. 8/10 rating.”
Kyle McGinn - Dead Rhetoric
*The EP was also included in Dead Rhetoric's 2015 Best of Bandcamp List

“Just when you think it’s over, it beats you over the head with a new insane synth line, punchy guitar riff, or grand piano melody. 7/10 rating.”
Taylor Phelps - Metal Nation Radio

"There just aren’t many American metal groups this good these days, folks–let alone those that just finished recording their very first EP."
Jason Facer - The Aspen Examiner

"It is the kind of music that the listener should submerge into, and let it take him to a journey into the darkest times in history of humanity. 7/10"
Timur Sizov - The Circle Pit

"By turns, it’s bombastic and head-twisting, with jet-fueled fretwork, well-placed symphonic overlays, a contrasting piano-and-bass interlude that comes out of left field, and flesh-rending vocals.”
Islander - No Cleaning Singing

A 6 man melodic death metal outfit named from a tale of religious fanaticism and demonic possession in 17th century France. Formed in the Summer of 2009, the bands ever-evolving sound has been called a combination of Scandinavian melo-death, symphonic power metal and American death metal. ... more

Of Sunless Realms
by Inferi

supported by 33 fans who also own “Entering Oblivion”

Since Spenser Moore replaced Blackburn I’ve frankly appreciated Inferi far more. I feel that his drumming improves the overall sound of the band a great deal, but it’s probably just a personal style preference. Either way, Of Sunless Realms was a great foreshadowing of the epic Vile Genesis. Metallurgical Fire
