Slaughter In The Vatican

The Tragic Period

Vocals

The vocals fit the music: fast-paced and thrash-sounding.

Music

Definitely trying to create a mood of looking back on a dark past with the wind sounds at the beginning. The music has a brutal vibe as the music starts. The buildup was a little long, but I like the pace. There's not a follow-able flow to the song, and that is why it lost me. I don't find anything offensive about it - it would be fine to hear someone else listening to it - but doesn't need to be on my playlist.

Lyrics

And here is where we see how much I don't know about El Dorado. I played a game with this name. In the game, you try to get treasure, so I think there is a search for treasure involved. But what terrible events surrounded this past person or place, I couldn't tell you. I am not sure who the main character being discussed as someone with a fallen plan is?

Here's a tale in history
About a period of tragedy
A man who thought of horrid things
But really sought what happiness brings
