George Witchfinder Great doomy tones and pure raw sound.
All the riffs are amazing and fit the distinctive vocals. Favorite track: Sinful Stone.

Seb Killer guitar tone and proper graveyard atmosphere on this pure doom onslaught! Do you like your doom with a touch of evil and Finland? Look no further than Gothenburg rock city and this demo.

We're off to the sinful stone Facing judgement before the sinful stone Executed at the sinful stone Dawn, an orange glow in the sky Mourning, the air thickens with dread Forced to travel at this time of day This is the day of reckoning We're off to the sinful stone Facing judgement before the sinful stone Executed at the sinful stone Our friends have all been gathered here We hear distant weeping as the hour draws near The grass isn't greener when it's stained with blood We bow to face an earthly grave Tears pour before they deliver the final blow We're off to the sinful stone Facing judgement before the sinful stone Executed at the sinful stone We're off to the sinful stone Facing judgement before the sinful stone Executed at the sinful stone
2.	Vengeance 03:38	lyrics	buy track
Stealing, extortion and other various crimes It's our dangerous glamorous way of life We're evildoers yet to be caught Alright now! It's time now! The vengeance will return! Try to catch us Mayors, politicians and police can be bought Well the joke is on you if you trusted the law How will this city last? I don't know The joke is on you Alright now! It's night now! The protector of the city has returned and I don't care! This is our time now!
3.	The Lich 11:20	lyrics	buy track
In the woods of the east There are rumours of a wicked black beast A horrifying sight to behold The high priest of corruption and cold Bringing life to the dead Cursed the ground on which they tread Your body is now a vessel Homestead to the undead Within the wicked wilderness of the east There's a beast A master of grim and cold An unpleasant sight to behold As your life is no longer your own Bringing life to the dead Cursed the ground on which they tread Your body is now a vessel Homestead to the undead Deep within the Lich's mausoleum Black candles burn Casting shadows on the walls Easily mistaken for reality Your blood is tapped As you hear the ancient incantation Bringing life to the dead Cursed the ground on which they tread Your body is now a vessel Homestead to the undead Every part of you submerged In a slimy essence Your core has become a host A servant to the Lich's evil cause Forever a slave you'll be Serving under the will of your lord Forever a slave you'll be Serving under the will of your lord You're now a servant to the Lich of the undead

Purification are a goddamn brilliant band. I can't stress enough how great they are at the craft of proper doom metal music-making. Buy every album you can find and listen until you are permitted to transcend the realm of the profane and enter a higher state of consciousness. GO NOW AND DO THIS AS I COMMAND! Ryguy

I can’t believe I’m just now finding this band. I lucked into finding them by reading an old interview with The Skull members Eric Wagner, Ron Holzner, and Jeff Olson (All three formerly of Trouble, too). They’ve been broken up for almost a decade now. Such a shame; they should have and still should be HUGE! The vocalist has some amazing pipes! If you listen to the first song and don’t buy it, it’s quite possible you have zero taste when it comes to heavy music. Jason Gilbert
