Phlegethon was/is a Finnish Death Metal band, found in 1988, in Joensuu. Influenced heavily by great Death and Thrash metal bands of the time, such as Slayer and Pestilence they developed their sound to Death/Thrash metal.
The band released it's first demo "Visio dei Beatifica" in 1989 with three of the original founding members Teemu Hannonen, Juha Tykkyläinen and Lasse Pyykkö ( also known from bands like Sarnath, Vacant Coffin and Hooded Menace etc. ). In their next demo "Neutral Forest" of 1990, Jussi Nyblom had joined the band, first in bass. The demos was widely valued amongst the Death metal underground, and so did the band get signed to Witchhunt records, through which they released their first EP "Fresco Lungs" in 1991. The band broke up in 1992. They still got together for a while in 1995 to record a promo tape, which after they broke up again.
Phlegethon was later ressurected in 2006 by Lasse ,Saku ( two founder members ) and Juha. Since then, they have released two demos: "Totems Within" in 2006 and "Lava Poetry" 2007.
Xtreem music has also made a "dream-come-true-collection" re-release package featuring Visio dei Beatifica, Neutral Forest, Totems Within and Lava Poetry demos. The collection waas entitled "Visions from the Forest Side"
This is the opening track of their second demo "Neutral Forest" of 1990.
Lyrics:
Music: Pyykkö
Lyrics: Tykkyläinen
Blemished by haziness
I wont feel the era
Theyll imbue my drastic
Face with a curtain
Moment of stupor
My sheen in its tendon
The dance of the dryad
I cant mar the legion
Behind the emblem
The seer in his temple
My eyes, dire crystals
Encircled by the elbow
Illusion the only
Progress in the sorrow
Nefarious tradition
The macrocosm follows
Fill the arduous mask
The noble dreams shall dry
Equipped with a fabulous heart
Is this a dome of mine
I shall now deny
My graveness so deranged
Ineffaceable is the grief
That follows my race
Dried incense
A method of entrance
Hunt for depth
Seeing halls of trance
Bring your scene
To the astral swan
With my peace
I must keep the mark
LEAD: THE ERA
Under - fertile water I hold
A figure my subtle seat above
The ground a transparent blue wind
The words they segregate for him
For his face
My thought creates
A shore with wisdom
That soon will repeat
My third salute
He sees in me
For the thunder he sings
His story I believe
LEAD: OF
After the obsessing
My hyphen turned to failure
I mustnt meet a pressing
Need to gaze the rainbow
With thousands of shadows
Ill have to line his echo
Implored by the pyres
His desolation throttles
LEAD: THESIS
Until new seasons
They magnify his graph
Saying: Two forests,
Both of them from the past.
Massive persecution
Fossils fuse by a brook
His breath and solution
Theyll take his faith with no look
Now the serpent has gone
The pyramid can be seen
Clamant symbols for the one
That manifolds my heath
Natural memories
Spreading twins of the ion
Lament from my soughing knees
The only version of desire
Save my oath
They will hold my tears
His black goat
Will visualize and sear
My profile
Satan blames the sky
He will sleep
I must realize
