Written by multi-instrumentalist Quorthon, “The Rite of Darkness" talks about heretics who make rituals to worship Satan.
This song shares a similar theme to the song “Necromansy” of 1984’s Bathory.
Crusted blood on altar black
The rite of dark is done
The semen burn in sacred flames
The witches sings their song
The night is filled with joyous laughter
Orgy of the damned
Prepare for sacrifice by death
On my command
Infernal eternal
With the power in our veins
The rite of darkness
Candles glow with strength and glory
Blind the eye of the sun
Demons ring their sabbath bell
The rite of dark is done
Naked bodies form the circle
Flesh and lust collide
Warm blood floats and torrent faster
The wound stands open wide
Sorcery blasphemy
Recite the words of spell
The rite of darkness deeds of hell
The Rite of Darkness was written by Quorthon.
The Rite of Darkness was produced by Quorthon & Boss (Bathory).
Bathory released The Rite of Darkness on Mon May 27 1985.
