about

Lecter is a serial killer that considers himself sophisticated. He believes it is necessary to hone one’s craft and he does this through copycat killing. Currently he is ripping people’s faces off in homage to Brutus the Ripped Off Face killer. Through his killing he discovers that there are people with powers, he realizes he could their villain and begins exclusively tracking and killing them. He begins to take their faces and sew them together into a cape, calling it his hero cape. Eventually he comes across someone with reality warping powers and incorporates their face into the cape and once done his hero cape manifested the powers of all the faces in the cape. Although he had not realized the full potential of the cape, he was overtaken by its power and this arrogance led him to go right out into public and start killing people one after the other. Members of The Beast of Nod step in and put an end to him but somehow the cape goes missing.

lyrics

Grabbing people by their necks and ripping off their faces
Torture and murder on a consistent basis

One he caught was unlike any other victim
Bringing light to the fact that he could be their villain

Ripped off faces make a cape of faces
Cape of faces made of ripped off faces
Sewn together human leather skin tight
Done for pleasure now his treasure and might

The cape has the power to control the dead

Ripped off faces make a cape of faces
Cape of faces made of ripped off faces
Sewn together human leather skin tight
Done for pleasure now his treasure and might

Going on a power trip
All unaware won’t know what hit

Going right into public and killing all he faces
Law and order were not in the least bit dissuasive

He was caught and ended by those of nod
When they searched in horror they realized the cape was gone

Ripped off faces make a cape of faces
Cape of faces made of ripped off faces
Sewn together human leather skin tight
Done for pleasure now his treasure and might

The cape has more power than anyone could know

I dig this album so much, definitely a keeper. Subtly and masterfully mixing death metal subgenres, backed with an over the top production. They're true professionals. Can't wait for their next release! doive

i checked out bands coming to my town, and xoth were on the list. at first i thought they were cheesy since i only liked metal to be deep, dark, and atmospheric . i did enjoy the technical complexity, so i gave them another chance. i equated shredding with jockishness (ugh), but i now see it as a creative choice. i just had to approach it on my own terms, and xoth was the perfect gateway for this. they really opened up a new world for me. quasiotter

First WTF was google music actually throwing something good into my feed. Second WTF was everything every goddamn member of this band does. This and the previous album have been on repeat for weeks. All other music tastes like diet water. Help. Gruso
