The Headless Horror (feat. Kelly Shaefer)

by The Outsider

/

about

"The Headless Horror" is the name of the new single by The Outsider, it features Kelly Shaefer from the legendary band Atheist on guest vocals. This new single keeps the experimental new line of The Outsider but is more influenced by Black Metal, it is a fast and vertiginous song that ends in a section highly influenced by latin drums, it also features a jazzy and twelve-tone music part.
Another notable feature of this song is that some tracks are openly processed by the so called "8 DIMENSIONAL AUDIO" in order to offer a different and terrifying experience true to The Outsider's concept, making it the first song of its kind in mexican metal and probably one of the few in the world
The lyrics are one of the darkest ones written by The Outsider and are entirely influenced by Lovecraft.

THE FORBIDDEN LYRICS
“The Headless Horror” is about an ancient deity, it's name, even if it can be pronounced, it shall NEVER be written on paper or any other mean, and if it is written, it must be in a way that no ordinary human can read it because it can unleash fatal consecuences, that is the reason why in the officially published lyrics a "[FORBIDDEN TO BE WRITTEN]" caption appears instead of the actual lyrics, on the Lyric Video a kind of cryptic hyeroglyphic is shown, such hyeroglyphic is know to be a related to that deity but can not be read by an ordinary human being, it is some kind of warning symbol used by a primal tribe as ancient as humanity itself, used as a reference to this archaic malignant GOD whose name was forbidden to be said, because if said repeatedly, it is invoked...

Sing along, but do not try to pronounce what you can not read...

lyrics

LYRICS

[Forbidden to be written]
Driving my insanity to its limits
[Forbidden to be written]
Cruel lord of depravity
[Forbidden to be written]
Devouring all light and bliss
[Forbidden to be written]
Not enough I can say to describe your dread
[Forbidden to be written]
Emperor of the misfortune
[Forbidden to be written]
Ruler of the vicious ones
[Forbidden to be written]
Sadistic, cold-blooded defiler
[Forbidden to be written]
The Headless Horror

Under the starry morbid sky
When night becomes eternal
and we are blinded by the darkness of our minds
Beyond our understanding
When darkness becomes our guide
and we succumb to ourselves, which we always deny

[Forbidden to be written]
It's not written because it shall not be named
[Forbidden to be written]
The nightmare behind the wall
[Forbidden to be written]
Decimating all hopes and desires
[Forbidden to be written]
Close the book before it's too late

[Forbidden to be written]
I want to be your servant
[Forbidden to be written]
I have killed, raped and betrayed
[Forbidden to be written]
Devour me, I shall hold your power
[Forbidden to be written]
I summon you by saying your name

Under the starry morbid sky
When night becomes eternal
and we are blinded by the darkness of our minds
Beyond all understanding
When darkness becomes our guide
and we are guided by the embodiment of our sins
