lyrics

The year was ’93.
Scientists in a lab working tirelessly.
Mutating human cells.
Sealing mankind’s fate, bid this race farewell!
An abomination grows.
The magnitude of destruction was then unknown.
A deadly virus outbreaks.
They tried to play God, a grave mistake.

28 days gone by.
The death toll starts to rise.
Streets are now stained with human remains.
Civilisation has been laid to waste.

Carol Vorderman, Quarantined on the set of Countdown.
Stocked with water and supplies.
Pounding at the doors, hear their panicked cries.
“Help is on the way”. She repeats to the others every day.
“Only one thing left to do, play Countdown and wait for this to all blow over.”

28 months gone by.
Carol is the only one alive.
Insane, still placing letters on a board.
The world outside now an undead horde.

She’s lost her mind.
Then she ate her friends.
The world she knew met a grizzly end.

She’s lost her mind.
She ate her friends.
The world she knew met a grizzly end.
She’s lost her mind.
She ate her friends.
Countdown games she now depends.

A world ending conundrum.
Let’s Countdown to extinction.
A world ending conundrum.
Let’s Countdown to extinction.

Pretty much the best Black/Speed Metal I've listened to since I learned about Evil Invaders and Vulture. Everything you'd love to be reminded of about this musical era is there. The influences are what you'd expect too: Motörhead, Venom, Bathory, early Slayer, Celtic Frost; aggressive vocals, tortured guitar solos, pounding drums; everything is fast, clear and still a little grimy, but without reverb cranked up to the max. Amazing band, amazing album. Odiumediae
