Cannibal Corpse

Torture

Scourge of Iron

---

Vocals

This is obviously a good vocal. Deep, and there is passion behind it.

Music

I like the death metal sounds to the riffs. The pick up in pace in the middle was a positive to me. The guitar solo was quite different.

Lyrics

I feel like this song is a bit of a refreshing change from descriptive killing scenes. Though, I guess it is about someone being tortured, but in this case it seems the person is paying for evil they have done. 

I actually think that we can't judge people by the things they have done, completely, because we are all capable of good and bad choices. We all at some point have done something in a wrong way or even made an evil choice.

But I do have to say that I know of a few pedophiles that I wouldn't mind delving out some pain to. My violent mind would like to avenge some people who were victims. So, maybe this song is satisfying to people if they have that person they want to see pay for what they did. I don't like to stay there in my mind, though, in a hateful place. 

They slave in fire
Whips of Hades at their backs
The Scourge of Iron
Hell's eternal pact

On earth they lived by force
Now the villains march in chains
Men of violence doomed in death
Their reward for a life of sin
