DeesideRed Carathis was the first of Erech Leleth's projects that I discovered. I'm working my way through them all now!

A glorious mix of horror punk, black metal, and the Addams Family, this is perfect. Favorite track: The Anniversary.

steve57 Starting to worry there's a danger of (me) taking Erech Leleth for granted as every EP is FULL of bangers. WTF? Favorite track: Twisted Game.

bmurator Austrian Black Metal. The man behind this, Erech Leleth, is the same responsible for Ancient Mastery & he certainly masters this! Great & inventive songs & compositions taking you through an entire spectrum of musical genres! Everything fits beautifully. I think it is high time for a full album! Highly recommended!!!

Luke We celebrate equinoxes and solstices — opposite ends of the year — and we should probably start doing that with Spooky Szn, because this album has come out at entirely the wrong time of year. It's HELLA SPOOKY. And not really suited to the lengthening sunnier days up north. But if you, like me, are perennially spooky at heart, do not wait. Spooky summer is here! Favorite track: Skeleton Christ (Bonus).

The whispers in the night, they sing a spectral lullaby, The creaking floorboards, a mournful sigh, The house stood there for decades, like a watching eye Its windows boarded up, its walls a ghostly shell. Right behind the graveyard, when the clock strikes twelve You can feel the shivers from the silent sentinel No one dares to enter, They say it’s cursed So let’s find out tonight Who will be the first? The events that followed, no one could explain The haunting we unleashed, a malevolent strain We sought to make amends, to undo the wrongs, But the spirits wouldn't rest, their pain was too strong So in the dead of night, we just snuck inside To understand, what the murky shadows hide A force so strong, so sinister and dark It will leave a mark A dark secret, we know we must unveil But the more we try, the harder we will fail we need to know the truth, our fate's forever sealed In Sablewood No one dares to enter They say it’s cursed So let’s find out tonight Who will be the first?

What has happened there? Why after all these years Tonight’s the night we had to face our biggest fears Did you hear that voice? „How dare you come back here?“ Let me assure you, that it’s our first time I swear In the dusty shadows of the past, lies a secret oh so grim & dark I can still hear screaming in the night And we have to make things right Our parents' hands are stained with blood They never said a word to us What the hell do they hide? What happened on that fateful night? So it says 30 years ago The residents of Sablewood Died a tragic death But their bodies were never found In the dusty shadows of the past, lies a secret oh so grim & dark I can still hear screaming in the night And we have to make things right The past has come to light, a truth that's hard to face Our parents' twisted prank led to this haunted place Their laughter turned to screams, their lives cut short that day We'll right the wrongs they did, Won't let them fade away

Twisted Game 05:19
Long ago, in this house so grand, There lived a family, just as happy as bland, Till the day, our parents came to play, And their twisted game took their lives away. But we'll make it right, with a ritual And put their restless souls to eternal peace Fireworks lit up the sky, The house shook, we heard their cries, An explosion, a deadly surprise, Our parents' prank was a fatal disguise. Their father was a doctor and had stored his tools, In the basement chemicals in barrels and tubes, Our folks had no idea, they played like fools We searched and dug, through old records and files, And the truth emerged, through the web of their lies, The twins were bullied, for their riches and more, And the fireworks sealed their family's gore. But we'll make it right, with a ritual And put their restless souls to peace Fireworks lit up the sky, The house shook, we heard their cries, An explosion, a deadly surprise, Our parents' prank was a fatal disguise. We will face the demons And make things right A family was lost On that fateful night

In this haunted house, the spirits moan and groan, Their wails and screams pierce through the unknown, So we’ve searched and found a book on the occult, It holds forgotten secrets On the anniversary of the tragedy We will perform this ancient remedy We don't know what we'll face or what will befall us, But we know that we can't just run and crawl, We'll face our fears and fight this fight, And put an end to this haunting with all our might. Our hearts are racing, we're full of fear But we shall overcome With this ritual, we'll put an end To the haunting that plagued this land

Skeleton Christ, bones of mystery Ascended to heaven, but back from history His body's gone missing, theological mess But he’s here to save us, nonetheless Skeleton Christ, he’s got no skin to show but bone’s to rattle Skeleton Christ, his love will carry us onto the battlefield Walking through town, bones on display Some may run, but he's here to stay He's back with a vengeance, to save our souls No flesh or blood, just bones on patrol Skeleton Christ, he’s got no skin to show but bone’s to rattle Skeleton Christ, his love will carry us onto the battlefield He may not look like much, but his power's real His bones may creak, but his love can heal So don't judge him by his bony frame He's here to save us, and his love's untamed He may look funny, but his message is true He's the savior we need, through and through So don't judge him by appearance alone He's here to save us from the great unknown
