Dreams of Dark Thought 02:26
lyrics
I resent how you have branded me I detest the name that I deserve, And now I can take no more So kiss goodbye to your life. I’ll prove you wrong I’ll stop your song Of happiness. I resent how you have branded me I detest the name that I deserve, You say I love them too much So they die to satisfy I’ll show I’m right I’ll show you night And obsession. And so they die And I see my Dreams come true. And so they die And I end my Life so sad.

Fix Me 03:50
lyrics
Told myself not to speak to you Should have promised not to breathe! Just like a drug I need your essence Make that shiver down my spine. Yeah, and again I take a little But I’m getting numb I miss that high. All of you At once The only way, the only cure. Not that interested In half-measures anymore – I want it all and I want it now I want you all and I want you now. Fix me up Fuck me up! Fix me, fix me Fix me, fix me! Break me down Fuck me up, Break me down Fix me up! All of you At once The only way, the only cure.

The Watchtower 03:20
lyrics
You’re proud to shun our mortal world What you call virtue I call sin, As you gaze to Judgement Day I think we’ll be lucky to see it. In your watchtower you feel superior Gazing over filth you never see, It must be nice to live so pretty. You’re so weak You never even try, You’re just too weak To even try. You’re proud to shun our failing world What you call virtue I call sin, You leave it to Jehovah but I think he’ll be lucky to save us. In your watchtower you feel superior Gazing over filth you never see, It must be nice to live so pretty. You’re turning away your face You can’t watch Even though you are blind.

Failure '98 03:27
lyrics
You cannot shape your destiny When it has been sold. He loves you all But so sorry, I don’t know why You must burn in Hell. He loves you all But so sorry, you made your choice And you had the facts. He loves me well So I’m special, and full of zest That you might share it. He loves me well So I’m special, but it’s your fault You must burn in Hell. He loves you not But you worship, I don’t know why You never question this. He loves you not But you worship, thus giving up The right to define Your existence The way you want it – How could you fight the evil If your soul had just been crushed?

Hookworm 02:09
lyrics
Hey, look at me Fastened on this wall, Gazing down, never changing Within the body of a god. Hey, look at me Caught upon a page, On each arm I am wearing The substance of your dreams. Submerge yourself You just need to Let your Self go! Hey, look at me Captured on your screen, Looking round, in satisfaction At the perfect life I’m leading. Submerge yourself You just need to Let your Self go!

about

Original demo EP, released in 1999.

REVIEWS:
“Hitting hard, fast and with a surfeit of intensity...Rötschreck demonstrate a real contemporary cutting edge and a pacy melodic aptitude”. Metal Hammer (UK), Aug 1999.

“Rötschreck fuse together some of the best bits of old school death metal and incorporate a 90’s Hardcore edge into their music”. Butchered Webzine (Scotland), Nov 1999.

“Scotland’s not renowned for its extreme Metal, at least not as far as I am aware of, so this is something of a pleasant surprise…a difficult one to describe…some call it Death Metal, the band’s preferred description is ‘Doomcore’ but I’d say it was an amalgam of anarcho punk/ grind/ Metal crossover. So there, yet another idea of how broad this bands sound is. Musically it’s fast and brutal, driven by guitars yet with some effective intervals where they slow down a gear or three to grind you into the dirt”. Fitted Kitchens of the Living Damned ‘Zine (Northern Ireland), Feb 2001.

“heavy, powerful death metal…[with] an excellent fuzzy guitar sound which gives it that extra ounce of heaviness”. Intoxicated ‘Zine (England), Jun 2000.

“I immediately got into this demo once I heard the first ten seconds…I can’t compare them with any other bands. Some say they’re death metal, others say black. Me? I really don’t know what to say. Damn Good Metal, that’s a new genre I’ve made up. Good job, guys!”. Call of the Coven Webzine (USA), Apr 2000.

“Quite perky doom stuff (if there possibly CAN be such a thing!!)…well recorded with some excellent axe work…cool”. Here Be Monsters ‘Zine (England), Dec 1999.
