In the finest tradition of horror, many Death and Black Metal music videos tell and show us the dark side of humanity and of the madness and horror that lurks in the darkness. Every night at Midnight, the Dedman will bring you yet another video to showcase the talents of those that screech and scream about the things that lurk in deeper recesses of our souls! Tonight’s featured band is Nile and the name of the song is “Sarcophagus” from the album In Their Darkened Shrines (2003)…

“Who Dares Disturb
My Blissful Sleep
Again in Anger
Must I Rise
How Long Unknown
I Lay Entombed
My World
So Long Forgotten
Did Disown Me
Usurper
I was Scorned
Ah
The Suffering They did Inflict
Stained With Cosmic Black Sins
The Sun No Longer Sets Me Free
[The song, “Sacrophagus”, could be thought of as a continuation of the Nephren-ka saga – perhaps a revisitation of the Lovecraftian mythos that this band has been exploring since our earlier work. In this latest chapter, whilst naively excavating in the Catacombs of Nephren-Ka, we have unwittingly awakened our protagonist from his long, restful interment. After wreaking his underworld vengeance upon us for disturbing him from his oblivion, he is tormented by memories of the unholy transgressions that had caused him his anguished eternal entombment… in all seriousness, though, I sometimes get the uneasy feeling that perhaps it would be best to leave Lovecraft’s characters sleeping, undisturbed in an eternal dormant state – dead, as it were, but dreaming. Who knows what we might awaken?]”
