G.O.A.G. 03:01
To serpents’ paradise a gateway revealed; approach the trembling throne The lightless palace illumined, radiating; through the veil of utter liberty G - O - A - G Beneath forgotten stone the serpents coil & swarm The primordial essence revealed from torn caul writhes a black tide G - O - A - G Heralding aeonic dawn... Sanguine and silent

Howling racing the screams follow A gap in periphery a hidden arch dendritic split-jawed orifice Passing the barrier echoes forgotten dissipation into oak a canopy shuts worlds in Limbs notch and slither from immeasurable blackness Suffocating opaque coils the nerves monumental realization of impending realities Sliding sense stumbling horror a path now damned Petrified ancient weight bearing down overwhelming completely outnumbered Behemothic despair joints will cease a crawl laboured breath a memory Crushing pressure letting go... As vision fades to eyes of coal and maw of flame
3.
Bound into opacity aeonic compression Smouldering remains of ancient forms CHURNING BLACK EARTH! Trace of tyrant's passage reduced to earthly poison Liquid clay in leaden veins antimonic throb Out of boiling blackness radiating from clenched fists Purify the sulfuric blood unchain the giver of fire ATMOSPHERES CONSUMED! Suffering! Smouldering! Suffering! Smouldering! Suffering! Smouldering! Tectonic refraction scoriac deluge In maddened gravity Bah’lal rises
4.
On the first pillar carved In the bodies of a million lashed From the mouth of the furnace decreed SUBMISSION! Crawling from the dust and clotted stain to unite and divide, elect and cull Carving through the broken earth molding the clay into forms more worthy Buried beneath the perfection of your fervour The reverberation of shattering bone under weight of tumbling spires CRUSHING CONVICTIONS! “I spew thee out in churning storms of ash I expel thee from my belly, the fire of paradise” Nothing can stand beside your will there is no meaning beyond Paint the land into an image pre-ordained Strokes of horror Splashes of hell It is a holy art! When one is etched or a multitude blotted you will fall to your knees in ecstasy Are they not one and the same? Without emptiness beyond measure there can be no composition SCOURGING RADIANCE! Hollow barren lungs heaving forth their word upon the dead sand Convulsing, bile soaks through the cracks Layers upon layers of wretched apostatical death ARSENAL OF WILL! Never wavering Never faltering Reaching the heights of the inhumane All heads turned All bodies bowed Grasping at your given right Screaming into this world Becoming divine

"From beyond the stars, another chapter in the legacy of Canadian chaos metal is being written. Mere hints and murmurs of a hideous beast in gestation have sent waves through the underground already. Few are truly prepared for the utter terror and possession AMPHISBAENA will soon unleash with their Iron Bonehead MLP demo debut. Comprised of stalwarts from the maniacal Canadian scene (responsible for such haunted filth as Rites of thy Degringolade, Antediluvian, and Weapon), a dual-headed serpent arises to push the boundaries and challenge all preconceptions. In this united front, limitations are shed in favour of an open palette of metal’s various extremes: black/death from the furthest depths of the inspired subconscious. A distant echo from the edge of the universe that serves as the only warning of what is to come!

In the fallout after From the Devil’s Tomb era Weapon, mastermind guitarists N.K.L.H. (Antediluvian, Rites of thy Degringolade, ex-Weapon) and the mysterious |LI|B|EL| united with legendary drummer/vocalist P. Kressman (Rites of thy Degringolade, Sacramentary Abolishment, ex-Weapon) to craft a more destructive, technical, and demented sound. Wielding 8-string weapons, the phantom brothers evoke precision and insectile riffage meant for the otherworldly, while the cruel rasp of Kressman is met with the inhuman swarm of H.T. (Antediluvian, Revenge) on auxiliary vocals. At once familiar and disorienting, Amphisbaena manifest twisting complexity in a violent collision with blasting execution. Volley after volley of pummeling astral death spirals from the void only to fall back into formless expanse again. The results of Canadian pitch-black lunacy attacked with a grandiose technical death metal sensibility. Statements like these serve as evidence of a maturation from the maniacally blood-thirsty state to that of ascended masters of formulated fear.

Expect nothing and everything, for a divergent path of celestial awakening is emerging. The stark image of AMPHISBAENA will burn into the collective unconscious of man."

Amphisbaena

It has a twin head, that is one at its tail-end as well, as though it were not enough for poison to be poured out of one mouth.
