PHELEBOTOMIZED early works compilation out now!

Dutch extreme metal act PHLEBOTOMIZED from the Rotterdam area was formed in 1989 as Bacterial Disease as a death / grindcore band and changed their name to PHLEBOTOMIZED in 1990. They released 2 demos tapes, an e.p., a mini CD and 2 full length albums during 1991 -- 1997. PHLEBOTOMIZED was known for their dominant use of keyboards (not like The Gathering nor like Nocturnus, maybe somewhere in between) and their rather experimental and complex songs (still strongly embedded in death metal). During their last full length PHELEBOTOMIZED evolved into 'Avant-garde Death/Doom Metal'.

This release 'Devoted to God, Preach Eternal Gospels' contains their second demo' Devoted to God' (1991) and their mini album 'Preach Eternal Gospels'. Both were recorded at Het Pand (Lair of Golgotha, Threnody) and remastered by PHLEBOTOMIZED guitar player Tom Palms. As a bonus the album contains 3 live tracks. Covert artwork by Kristian Wahlin (Emperor, Dissection, Edge of Sanity).

Lyrics:
Introduced as weapon during World War I
Both used by Allies and Germany
Among the chocking chlorine and phosgene
Was the blinding mustardgas, it's colour yellow-green

Unreliable weapons, primitive minds,
rebounding the attacker, primitive times
Throw another one into air,
hould the course alter would be fair?
The experience is felt, gasmasks for air,
down in the trenches the dead are the bare
Patriotic pride stop at nothing,
dying to see the opponent suffering

Introduced as weapon during World War I
Both used by Allies and Germany

Unreliable weapons, primitive minds,
rebounding the attacker, primitive times
Patriotic pride stop at nothing,
dying to see the opponent suffering

Die, in a confrontation, as it comes down
You will never see the light of this declining world again

Die, by the gas, as it comes down
You will never see the light... you're dead

Ypres, Verdun, Somme & Passchendael,
these were the places battles dwelled
Gunnery rumbling, gloomy expressions,
plunging thousands into depression
