Man I can hardly explain... I was a big rocker in my teens. I bought this tape in the. 1990's and it fulfilled my metal desires of hardcore 🎸 guitars, fast as frick drums and screaming vox. I was enthralled. One of my favorite cassettes for sure. I was bummed out when I heard the singer had died...yet their legend still lives on. THANX DEATH for making the metal world have more meaning. I remember in class just drawing your logo. You guys kick ass.

lyrics
Approach the image filled with fear
As the image grows so clear
Future now takes full control
The one whose past you now behold
Touch - The flesh it is so cold
Turn away - You now have been told
Never to return, memories will last
In the future, you'll think about the past
Never to forget, what you have seen
People come to pay respect
Taking pictures of the dead
That is what life comes to be
Once they lived, now they're deceased
Death is oh so strange
The past no one can change
What you can't predict
Is how long you'll exist
Open casket - Open casket
Life will never be the same
Death can never be explained
It's their time to go beyond
Empty feeling when they're gone
Never to return, memories will last
In the future, you'll think about the past
Never to forget, what you have seen
What can not be real you now believe
As the image grows so clear
Future now takes full control
The one whose past you now behold
Touch - The flesh it is so cold
Turn away - You now have been told
Never to return, memories will last
In the future, you'll think about the past
Never to forget, what you have seen
People come to pay respect
Taking pictures of the dead
That is what life comes to be
Once they lived, now they're deceased
Death is oh so strange
The past no one can change
What you can't predict
Is how long you'll exist
Open casket - Open casket
Life will never be the same
Death can never be explained
It's their time to go beyond
Empty feeling when they're gone
Never to return, memories will last
In the future, you'll think about the past
Never to forget, what you have seen
What can not be real you now believe

Dimensions of Horror

The aptly-named 'Akroasis' (Greek for "hearing" or "listening") draws on all the various elements of OBSCURA's signature sound and combines those qualities into a mind-blowing and cohesive whole.

Hidden History of the Human Race
by Blood Incantationsupported by 120 fans who also own “Open Casket”
never been a big death metal fan but this is actually super accessible for the genre, has fun concepts, and personally i'm always a fan of albums with short tracklists and huge runtimes (for individual songs) Great time, good jumping on point for newbies too.
