Nerlich was a Finnish Death Metal band, founded in 2004 somewhere in the capital region ( Cities of Helsinki, Espoo and Vantaa). The bands varying line-ups featured members such as Lari Pyykkö ( Phlegethon, Hooded Menace, Vacant Coffin etc.) and Davi Moreira from Kataplexia, but the visionaire of the band was Miika Merikallio, who did the vocals, part of the guitars and bass in some points and also composed most of the lyrics. Unlike most of Old-School worship projects, the main influencers of Nerlich, where the more technical Old-School bands like North-American Suffocation, Morbid Angel and Gorguts and Finnish bands like Demilich and Demigod.

Lyrics :
Walking through the fields of the dead and dying bodies.
The old men impaled by spears watch their murdered wives
who push their children to their bloody breasts.
You women are lying and waiting to die
as their stomachs have been sliced open
after they had filled the needs of the demons sexual pleasures.
Some scream half burned,
praying their feeble god that they would finally be killed.
Brains have splattered to the ground next to the severed limbs.
Compiling bones for their gods.
Structures made of human cadavers.
Genitals used as ornaments.
-They build their temple
Coward - Alive, he's hiding - Prick - He's Condemned
Walking through the fields of the dead and dying bodies.
The old men impaled by spears watch their murdered wives
who push their children to their bloody breasts.
