    Purchasable with gift card

     

  • "Blight" EP Gatefold Digipak CD
    Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    Released in 2012, the debut EP by Melbourne's Ordnance is scathing and raw metal at it's best. From trudging death to progressive interludes, Ordnance are not easily pinned down. Recorded in a day and a half, the EP captures the live essence of a hugely underrated band.
    The full lyrics are included on the insert of digipak.

    Includes unlimited streaming of Blight via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

lyrics

We are the ones blessing the blood across our knives
Forbidden virtues bound inside those that we incise
We stride insidiously out
Without number, faultless, un-named

Abducted, shipped and enslaved
Your hours to pass with pleading
I almost start to feel again
Exhilarating!
I almost start to feel again
You start to twist

Summoned to my side, my prize my preference
First to be used up, broken
Then crushing, slicing, guiding
I sometimes disappear and slide inside

At the side of the fallen
You stumble blindly, gutted, whole
An iris not large enough to see
The glove that searches free of failing
I almost start to feel again
Exhilarating
I almost start to feel again
You start to twist

Inside the cages sobbing
You're kept like an exciting toy
Your use it starts beneath that of servitude
Slow wounds at first expand to rape and torture
We watch you

Summoned to my side, my prize my preference
First to be used up, broken
Then crushing, slicing, guiding
I sometimes disappear and slide inside

Leaving you just enough strength
to try and fight of my design to be visited upon you
Beneath my hands, my will, my will
You will, you will, my will, you will

Ordnance Melbourne, Australia

Formed in 2011, Ordnance is a metal band from Melbourne. Our first EP "Blight" released in 2012 is available here.

We finally released our debut album "Echelon" in January 2016 after 2 years of recording and trying in vain to find a drummer. We hope to remedy that situation soon so that we might continue to play live and write. Work has already begun on our 2nd album. ... more
