As the earth is broken The crevasse becomes a sore Searing pain is hither Pain will reign forever more Plagued by the hordes Earth becomes his whore Without a spell Land becomes dust and hell Fire is lord supreme See how his eyes gleam Plagued by the hordes Earth becomes his whore All hope is drowning Deep in the river of hate Fear consumes the feeble Destruction's their eternal fate Now you step forward Praise your new lord
2.
Rape of the sea The warring god Blood-stained trident Splits ocean tides Bring forth the wrath Immortal greed The earth shall be Covered by sea! Praise the immaculate victor Accolade within thyself Drunk with the rum and wine Drunk with the blood and… Under the triumph The world with a staff Under the trident Pantheon is gone!

about

Neptune With Fire was the 2008 debut release from Los Angeles-based band Ancestors.

Neptune With Fire is a concept album that tells of the metaphorical trials of Orcus and Neptune, respectively, and their cosmic, psychological journey through war, celebration, remorse and revelation. The character of Neptune was written as an immortal personification of the mortal man, and for the band, his plight was conceived of as a way of realizing their own epistemological struggles.

Since the release of this now out-of-print album, Ancestors has continued to create new and innovative music. But it all starts here. Available now, for the first time on cassette!


“Come to Neptune With Fire for the mammoth riffs, but stay for the stretches when Ancestors take ‘far out’ even further.” - Pitchfork

“A record like Neptune With Fire defies analysis by simply being everything one could possibly demand from a paean to the riff, the reefer and the misty-eyed squint into the cosmos.” - Metal Hammer
“Ancestors’ Neptune With Fire should satiate both the traditional stoner-metal fan and those seeking a more expansive approach to this often self-limiting subgenre” - High Times
