Jedna z nejvýraznějších metalových skupin světa, klasikové tohoto stylu (zpočátku řazeni k odrůdě thrash nebo speed). Sami přiznávají prvotní vliv Black Sabbath. Navíc výborní instrumentalisté. Skupina vzniká v r. 1981 v americkém Norwalku...

They're walking by the night 
The moon has frozen blue 
Long black coats a shelter for the rain 
Their load must get through 
Now bats are leaving their trees 
They're joining the call 
Seven satanic Hell preachers 
Heading for the hall 
Bringing the blood of a newborn child 
Got to succeed, if not it's Satan's fall 


Curse Of The Pharaohs 
Away out in Egypt in the valley of kings 
Where the mummified pharaohs 
Pretend dead in their sleep 
Don't touch, never ever steal 
Unless you're in for the kill 
Or you'll be hit by the curse of the pharaohs 
Yes you'll be hit and the curse is on you 
The curse of the pharaohs can be so deadly 
Just destroying your future 
Makin' it all shady 
Don't touch, never ever steal 
Unless you're in for the kill 
Or you'll be hit by the curse of the pharaohs 
Yes you'll be hit and the curse is on you 


A Corpse Without Soul 
Listen, I'm a corpse, I'm a corpse 
I'm a corpse without soul 
Satan, he's taken, he's taken 
He's taken his toll 
And he took it on me 
I, I'm trapped, I'm trapped 
I'm trapped in his spell 
Tonight, I'm going, I'm going 
I'm going to Hell, inside his spell 


Into The Coven 
Howl like a wolf 
And a witch will open the door 
Follow me and meet our high priestess 
Come, come into my coven 
And become Lucifer's child 
Undress until you're naked 
And put on this white coat 
Take this white cross and go to the center of the ring 
Come, come into my coven 
And become Lucifer's child 


Evil 
I was born on the cemetery 
Under the sign of the moon 
Raised from my grave by the dead 
And I was made a mercenary 
In the legions of Hell 
Now I'm king of pain, I'm insane 
You know my only pleasure 
Is to hear you cry 
I'd love to hear you cry 
I'd love to see you die 
And I'll be the first 
To watch your funeral 
And I'll be the last to leave 
I'd love to hear you cry 
And when you're down beyond the ground 
I'll dig up your body again 
And make love to shame 
Oh lady cry, and say goodbye 
Oh lady cry, and say goodbye 
You've gotta say goodbye 
'Cause I will eat your mind
