Descending sun A sun that never shines The death of spring sets me free Hear his voice Follow me he said Bleak fields Pathless ways He wears the clothes of death Sing the silent notes of life Freezing nights Frozen dreams Beneath the snow Lies the marks of hope Open the gate to eternity
2.
Wandering the grief-wracked city Passing among lost souls I’m a creature of hate And I endure eternally Under harsh accents of horror I began to weep Without hope death will come Carrying my weathered axe Bitten by remorse, ashamed All life gone, erased Desolation, extinction I must now surrender Damned and in grief I cross the darkened flood Enter gates of hell Weathered axe Hope I’ll never see skies again
3.
You take my hand We walk through the fields of agony And the black birds sing A funeral march symphony For the last time Don’t fear the death Struck by the sun Hold my cold hands This is our last dance The moon is dead now For the last time Rite of spring
4.
Servant 01:05
Siren to shining steel Scar-wrought, ichorous servant Poisoned-hand purging vein Lashed upon thy knee Weep of ill-bled mercy Nil shall give to thee Submit to all will within me
5.
When a life of lies dies Beyond the cemetery walls A garden of dead dreams Under the moonlight A burning light blinds This life isn’t real A wall of smoke ascends Fallen birds lie Silent I am the silence Breaking the silence The death bells call It’s time In the dark and foggy skies The weeping angels fly Dark paradise
6.
Wretched 03:18
The end draws near Serpents of the last circle Hark my name And I shall cherish their venom For eternal days Wretched shadow I’ll drag you down with me Thorns and punishment Buried by moonlight Crowned with horns Begging the darkness Grind this steel into my skin Cloaked in ebony Caressed in flame Waiting beneath the coil Cloaked in ebony Caressed in flame Drag the light down with me I burn alone
7.
8.
Under the black stone Caged away, in night’s eclipse Every shadow knows my name Scream in futility, never to rest He grins in crimson Gold upon a liar's tongue Revenant Shines for no one A relic wrapped in silk Slither in punishment I feel no longer Frail hands, guide my ebon eyes Shame shall feed the flames Light my prison, curse this un-life A blaze shall rise Never to forgive Burn my deliverance
9.
Revenge 02:18
Tread the deadman’s walk Echo screams, hollow steps, victim Put to lash Left for ravens Weak willed, paranoid Iron boot, tread over human glass Last walk to the noose Spite guide thy hand To razor and oblivion

about

With an inception heading back to the year 2020, UK’s Final Dose have built a reputation from its feral blend of black metal’s icy malevolence and the raw, uncompromising power of punk through the release of a demo, an EP and a full-length album in 2023.
With the experience of touring across the US and Europe granted by the excellent reception of aforementioned “Void Inside”, Final Dose return with a vengeance, a bone-crushing slab of savagery and frostbitten fury entitled “Under the Eternal Shadow”.

Merging Black Metal and Punk is not in any way a novelty, however few acts have managed to imply the solid edge of both approaches in a such a vehemently organic fashion as the UK horde. From the very first seconds of opener “Eternal Winter”, a clear, powerful, in-your-face production compels the razor-sharp virulent riffs to gleam and cut through the ether like an electrical storm, whereas pounding fast beats function as a taser for the body, a remarkably pulsing mania which serves as a marching order for the wild raging vocals, a performance which renders gist to each word yelled in anguish.

But, beware. “Under the Eternal Shadow”’s ornamentation is yet provided by various elements such as Dungeon Synth and Folk, details that supply the record with more than a Black Metal/Punk substance. The brilliant slower moments offer an extra dose of bleakness and despair to the filthy fury, together with the lugubrious clean chords, filled with disheartening melody. These traits blazingly give shape to the lyrical concept of the album, the pain and gloom of mental decline, the misery of the societal ravishingly decay. This layer of mournfulness genuinely confers momentum to Final Dose’s art, a sense of impending doom which sticks to the brain and captures the heart, making “Under the Eternal Shadow” much more than a musical record, but a tome of inspiration through the ashes of the world’s turmoil and dismay.

Wolves of Hades is proud to be releasing on April 11th these hymns of total blackened debauchery on LP / CD / MC and Digitally.
