1.	The Visions of Trismegistos 04:48	lyrics
An artifact of unknown power Symbols emerging from the deep A portal to ancient darkness Apparition of a demonic seed The emerald tablet chanting Nefarious rites of theurgy Radiation of the Ibis-God Altering the spirit and the mind Separate the earth from the fire The sulphur, the salt, the mercury A sacrament marked by the Thrice Great Abraxas revealed to me Take part in this unworldly ritual Sacrifice your self to the demiurge The stone of Zosimos is my offering Eat it! Transmutation to the psychopomp Death’s existence expanding Breathing the essence of the multiverse Entering transient stage The black gold is in me I am at one with Trismegistos Now I will ascend to glory My enemies wiped from existence Channeling wisdom Amplifying oscillations Cortex syndicating information Visions taking command I ascend like the golden hawk of Horus I am purified of my imperfections I transcend the immortals without dying I stand before my father in the void

6.	Dead Temples 03:23	lyrics
Dead temples Plagued hives Rotting visions Burning minds Dead temples Forgotten spells Gnostic secret Dormant dwells Timeless spirits caught in the ego trap Ethereal beings fixed in cosmic restraints Catalyst to the fall of humanity Eternal damnation, locked in a prison of the soul You reside behind a mask of suffering It takes forever to escape the vortex Assimilate the truth of the hierophant Entheogenic kykeon consumed Sacrifice to the breath of divinity Sorcery to set the spirit free Incantations Cryptic grin Forbidden worship Void within
7.	Thanatos 03:34	lyrics
Into the fire I follow thee Spawn of the night Let me take part in your glorious feast Indulge in earthly delight You control the darkness Master of blight Navigate me through the plains of despair And away from the holy light A catacomb in paradise The white shackles, the burning skin There’s no escape from this prison My descent must begin Take possession of my being You can hold the knife I give my self to you, my friend Show me how to end this life Invocating Thanatos Cannot be undone Commander of Satan’s soldiers In a battle that evil has already won A rush of darkness from within To revel in triumphant sin The white hand has taken command of my being Forfending the pleasures of flesh Fuel me with strength from your shadow Escape in my terminal breath Thanatos - Place the dagger in my hand Thanatos - I finish it off at your command Thanatos - Extinguishing the white light with pain Thanatos - Metal fang shredding the domain

about

Behold the Visions of Trismegistos!

After nine long years stirring the cauldron in the underground, NEKROMANTHEON finally re-emerged from the depths with their most ferocious record to date.

Visions of Trismegistos is a long-awaited metal assault, bringing forth the spirit of old metal once again. Recorded in Chaka Khan Studio and various locations around Oslo by the members of NEKROMANTHEON themselves using mostly old, analog equipment to get that warm, genuine sound, Visions of Trismegistos feels like a lost opus from the glory days of the '80s, when thrash, death, and black metal were merged into one unholy trinity. Yet, it is a fresh and vital testament of a band at the height of their abilities who stand out amongst their peers.

With Visions of Trismegistos, NEKROMANTHEON are ready to resurrect the ways of the ancient with their fresh take on old-school extreme metal.
