lyrics

The mother of serpents rise
Unholy beast of sacrifice
In the chamber their bodies lie
Forgotten as myth
Unenchanted left to die
A hallow prison within her pit
A plague of death in the reflection of her eyes
Oh how she hungers
The home of a monster
She feeds on their impurities
She feasts on mudblood flesh
Corridors of madness
Breeders of impotence
In scales she sheds
Merciless reptilian
Coiled in the innards splayed inside her unfurling nest
Hopeless victims petrified
Awaiting their untimely demise
Never to awaken
Never to survive
Poison in the fangs leaves you stricken with paralysis
Pints of blood overflowing into the golden chalice
Screams of the imprisoned silenced by her malice
Entombed in the nest of the master and his Basilik
With enough blood spilled
Her time will come
For every victim killed
Champions the Parseltongue
I designate the serpent
Unchained
Fill these empty walls
I call upon the serpent
Lay them all to waste
Waste them all
The extinction of their bloodline is critical
Her taste for flesh is biblical

Her master calls her name
They summon death
He calls her name
The one
Basilisk

Inhale these scales
Ingest her slime
You will never leave this chamber alive
Your blood holds no bounds
Your life pays no wrongs

The extinction of their bloodline is critical
Her taste for flesh is biblical
Her master calls her name
They summon death

Deviate
by Perlocution

Creativity is always something we've held in high regard and Perlocution is out here doing the most they can with it. And to be 100% self-sufficient only adds to how impressive it is! Parseltongue

A World Without for an up-and-coming band knows how to compose very well, extremely professional and mature songwriting, can't wait to see what they do in the future! Parseltongue

Moksha
by THE LAST OF LUCY

supported by 10 fans who also own “Basilisk”

Death metal/deathcore hybridization done correct! All the atmospheric passages and samples feel right in place, with great sound. Instrumentation doesn't lack as well, but the vocals could've been a little less upfront. 8.5/10 liltito

Of Sunless Realms
by Inferi

supported by 10 fans who also own “Basilisk”

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
