1.	Prezir - Devil of Englewood 06:11	lyrics	buy track
Devil of Englewood Heinous villainy, birthed from a nubile obsession Mastered agony, physician besmirched profession As the swindler roamed the nation, conning new brides Crossing paths led to damnation, creditor bribes “I was born with the Devil in me” he claimed Murder his calling, butchery his birthright Victims of his blade were filleted in his keep Hidden savagery, unbridled contempt for mankind Fueled by primary, wealth motives began to align Selling remains to museums, skeletal coin In his hotel mausoleum, vices conjoined “I was born with the Devil in me” he claimed Murder his calling, butchery his birthright Victims of his blade, dissected for his thrill Malignant doctor, plagued the World's Fair Malicious surgeon, preyed on despair Widows and orphans objects of his trade Their mortal coils, price that was paid As H.H. Holmes prospered through lies Using his station and standing as guise Many were cheated, creditors raged Fleeing Chicago a man hunt was waged The blood lust unquenched, burdening towns, plaguing the coast He was caught Pinkerton snared, convicted to hang Sentenced to die for murder, his just reward “I was born with the Devil in me” A mad confession begun, fable was spun By butcher of Englewood Lucifer his muse and sire, his Lord Was no salvation for him, as the rope drew tight Ending the life of the vile swindler Satan!
2.	Prezir - Murder at the Helm 05:34	lyrics	buy track
Murder at the Helm Helm The Kentucky Cannibal of yore Ate his compatriots and foes Mad, gorging on gore Boone An opportunistic heel The mountain man's favorite meal, human flesh With murderous zeal He set his sights, taking flight west ward Knifing his own cousin, vigilante captured Escaping asylum, a venturesome villain Fleeing from a native attack, party of six Wilderness and winter leading to starvation Devouring his allies From the wild he emerged a craven, wanted man San Francisco his next mark Where blood lust struck again Captured anew by the law His brother payed off all the witnesses Freed once more and back to crime He'd revisit killing grounds, slaughtering Bragging of his exploits, ravenous his habits Psychopathic hubris would lead to his demise The Montana Vigilantes arrested him Secret trial where he was sentenced to hang for sins In his last attempt to escape the hangman's noose He blamed his gang for his crimes With no rescue, no recourse, no remorse, gallows call “I'll see you in hell in one minute”, yelled the sociopath murderer “Let er' rip” As he jumped off of the hangman's box The Kentucky Cannibal of yore, was finally hanged

about

Featuring two exclusive songs each from both bands for a total of 24 minutes, Faustian Hallucinations is a stellar display of two uprising American hordes.

PREZIR are a Milwaukee-based black metal band whose moniker is a Serbian word that roughly translates to “contempt.” They are thusly named, with the stated goal of creating acrimonious heavy metal in the spirit of their influences, with a mutual disgust for the direction of modern metal. Lyrically, the themes focus on the derision of dogmatism and corruptive ideologies, this being central to the preservation of philosophy and fortification of the intellect. The lyrics thematically target the comprehension and study of history. PREZIR’s two songs presented on this split are the first offerings from the band that focus on tales from the new world, capturing the all-devouring and insatiable manifest fate of American individualism and disregard for convention, each focusing on a single monstrous creation of the continental experiment.

Hailing from Chicago, BEASTLURKER was conceived in the fall of 2017 by M.A. Maggio and J. Geist while uniting at a known Finnish metal festival. Shortly after, an invitation was extended to S. Boersma. All music thus far was written, developed, and documented on Chicago’s Southside to provide a violent, vitriolic, yet explorative black metal experience. M.M. developed the neologism of Beastlurker based on personal demons lurking mercilessly within the psyche. The lyrical agenda is to create an excursion through a dark plane of personal history and documentation of lessons and enlightenments purposed into the cultivation of psychological and spiritual make-up. Overall, the artform is a result of the repurposing of internal and external strife to a positive medium of communication. The cathartic value is highly embraced, as the creations are like a poison extraction or antivenom in a way – or a healthy means to administer legal, creative violence. BEASTLURKER’s side of the split with was tracked instrumentally live in a raw, organic, and honest fashion without the use of click tracks or editing: a new approach to their craft, yet a natural gravitation of the band’s species and its evolution.
