HELLFENLIC (2024)
En activo desde 2010, la banda inglesa llega a su curto larga duración, un trabajo que se centra en la historia de la caza de brujas y en la figura de Matthew Hopkins, logrando a lo largo de sus poco más de cuarenta y tres minutos sumergirnos en un ambientación oscura, fría y pagana. Con un sonido black que no renuncia a ciertas dosis de melodía arranca este trabajo en donde la banda ha sabido cuidar tanto esos pasajes más directos de guitarras agresivas y un sonido de batería potente, como aquellos que ejercen de eje diferenciador en donde el ritmo se resiente pero existe un trabajo de guitarras mucho más elaborado con secciones que tanto se adentran por un terreno más melódicos, como sobre todo aquellos que logran un carácter más evocador a la hora de recrear esa ambientación del siglo XVII y el asesinato de mujeres inocentes. El álbum es bastante dinámico en cuanto a sonido e influencias, la extensión de los temas permite que estilos como el heavy o el punk se encuentren también presentes, el uno cuando la melodía quiere hacer acto de presencia, el otro cuando el sonido se libra de cierto artificios, sin que en que ningún momento se resienta la ambientación. Las voces de Dean, importantes en cualquier álbum conceptual que se precie, siempre están presentes para poder ofrecer su visión de lo sucedido, sin sonar menos importantes que la instrumentación, a pesar de aflora muchas veces en medio de un poderosos sonido y perfectamente equilibradas en la mezcla. The Infernal Sea siempre han tenido presente en su música su historia local, si a ello le unimos la oscuridad y la frialdad de un estilo como el black, el resultado solo puede ser un álbum inmersivo en donde nos sentimos parte de la historia que nos cuenta. (8,3)



1. Lord Abhorrent 04:11  
 Speak now heretic
You dare to commit regicide
Against our King
A murder so callous

Impeach our sovereign
And in turn, bestow to him
False claim to his rightful place
On Britannia’s throne

I am the true Messiah
Master of your destruction
Begone, Lord Abhorrent

His evil will be done
Villainous utterance praised
Summoning elemental power
Unending greatness
A spell to crush the enemy
War rages against the Church
Dare to cast aside God and worship the goat

Speak now witch
Make peace with your God
My Lord can’t save you
From bewitchment

Blackened angel
Forever fallen you let him in
Faith is failing
Your soul ailing
In your darkest hour
Resist temptation
Resist Satan
Begone

I am the true Messiah
Master of your destruction
Begone, Lord Abhorrent
2. Shadow of the Beast 05:02
Forever in the shadow of the beast Entombed in his darkness Grand Master of deceit Sadistic angel of death Our Lord is displeased Satan wielding raw power Enlisting the weak The true servants of Baphomet Submit to sin Transference of sanity between Realms of holy and demonic We must remain vigilant And deny his very existence A millenia dormant Waiting to strike Gates of Hell, open Your end is nigh Forever in the shadow of the beast Entombed in his darkness Grand Master of deceit Sadistic angel of death Vengeful serpent besets the night Nefarious warrior Fear the Dark Lord Fear Him, bringer of death  
3. Witchfinder 05:57
 No escape from the hunt
The inquisition has begun
Unjust methods of extraction
The work of a masochist

Forgive us our trespasses
The words of wisdom
Satan be banished
In mortality the spell can be broken
A familiar in league with a witch
A covenant with the devil
Confess to your crimes
A trial by gallows

Release the host
As I am your Saviour
Now you must leave
Return the flesh to Christ

Read aloud our scripture
The Lord's Prayer must be heard
Confess to your foul crimes

Release the host
As I am your Saviour
Now you must leave
Return the flesh to Christ

Hang The witch

Forgive us our trespasses
The words of wisdom
Satan be banished
Only in mortality can the spell be broken
4. The Hunter 04:37
  I believe in God
But he no longer believes in you
Failure, judgement in heaven awaits

I stand not for heresy
I stand as one with God
I will purge the Fens

Let your death be a warning
To all human vermin
I’ll hang you, bastard
Until you’re fucking dead

Lead not into temptation
I seek your redemption
The guilty hang for their crimes
Stand not for heresy
I stand as one with God
I will purify the east

Lifeless carcass
Hanging in silence
A stark reminder
Of the consequences

You shall hang
For your barbarity
By God's divine instruction
To stem the spread of evil
Cleansed with the blood of the lamb
My word is law
Your fate within my hands
You stand before this holy court
Guilty of your crimes

Let your death be a warning
To all human vermin
I’ll hang you, bastard
Until you’re fucking dead

I believe in God
But he no longer believes in you
Failure, judgement in heaven awaits

I stand not for heresy
I stand as one with God
I will purify the Fens
5. Bastard of the East 05:28
I am the Bastard of the East Devoted to God Observe my warnings I am the Saviour of the Fens The Master of execution Sworn to eliminate (the beast) I am the sadistic hunter The Witchfinder General Kneel before vast greatness Embrace your salvation I shall extract your confession So fear me... PEASANT Fear the zealous Lord And fear your damnation May our Lord guard me From your foul deception Rotted soul, for purification I’ll sever the tongue of the demon I see corruption build within Your carnal desires Seduced by the Beast And birth his wretched spawn I am the Bastard of the East Devoted to God Observe my warnings I am the Saviour of the Fens The Master of execution Sworn to eliminate (the Beast) May our Lord guard me From your foul deception Rotted soul, for purification I’ll sever the tongue of the demon I see corruption build within Your carnal desires Seduced by the Beast And birth his wretched spawn Mark of Satan upon them Drown the witch God forgives a penitent soul You are all his children Forced repentance he will accept I stand with divine power As judge and executioner I sentence you to death May God have mercy on us all I am the saviour of the Fens And you will fear my name For I am Hopkins
6. Black Witchery 03:45
  From beyond the fields she hails
Eerie voices echo
Hateful whispers in the night
The coven bathes
In the twilight
The sabbat gathers
Devising malevolent plans
To pervert my Christian faith
Paranoia overwhelms me

My Lord protect me
Renounce this manifestation
Banished into Hell
I am your servant
I hear them call my name
I am cursed

Evil channelled towards me
A spirit sent to destroy
In my chamber the Bear takes form

My Lord protect me
Renounce this manifestation
Banished into Hell
I am your servant
I hear them call my name
I am cursed

This wretched beast, towers before me
The face of evil incarnate
Lord protect me
I am your servant
I hear them call my name
I am cursed by Black Witchery
7. Frozen Fen 05:22
I despise bastard-bearers Wenches birthing demonic spawn Dark familiars, inhuman! Released from a hellish tomb. Malevolent force be gone Invoke the dogma of Christ I enforce the Witchfinder Law I can feel the icy grip of the anti-God Starvation claims our young Dead in the Frozen Fen Malevolent force be gone Invoke the dogma of Christ I enforce the Witchfinder Law I witness the pain of the populace It will not consume me I am protector of the east I enforce the Witchfinder Law
8. Messenger of God 08:43  
  Destiny brought me to this place
A Messenger Of God
To extract confessions
of heresy and witchcraft
Rid the land of this plague
Evil shall not triumph
Rise up in the eradication
of the foul Coven

Head bowed in penance
The Lord has spoken
Speak ill of Christ
And suffer the consequences
You allowed the beast
To suckle at your teat
In league with Satan

Cancer at the heart of the Kingdom
Corrupting holy ways
Duty bound to purge the filth
To restore the faith

Your bear his markings
Prick the flesh
Expose the lies
Has the devil had use of your body
I demand to know
Which form did he appear
Do not lie to me
I will make you speak the truth
Or you die a traitor

You shall be burnt at the stake
Until flesh is stripped from bone
Ashes scattered to the wind
Long may you Suffer
  43:05
