The music had much in common with Doom Metal bands such as Black Sabbath and Candlemass, but their lyrics were more satanistic and kinky than that of most Doom Metal acts
THIS MYSPACE IS A TRIBUTE TO STILLBORN'S ALBUM 'NECROSPIRITUALS', ONE OF THE MOST KINKY ALBUMS EVER, ITS A MUST HAVE.
Band biography
It all started in early 1984, when Kari Hokkanen and Petter Bryneson met Ingemar Henning. Kari and Petter were about to form a band, and they needed a guitarist to get started. Henning, who had been playing the guitar for only a year, accepted the offer to be in the band.
They made one obscure gig under the name The Cranium, before they realised that they needed a second guitarist. They met Erik Sandqvist at the legendary Einstürzende Neubauten concert in Gothenburg 1984, and since he owned a Fender Twin Reverb, he could consider himself hired.
They made a lot of local gigs, some in Denmark as well, during 1985-86, and released their tape Tounge the thong (yes, it's misspelled) in 1985. It was made in 100 numbered copies, and became rare immediately. Petter left the band in 1986, and Peter Asp took his place as the drummer.
Soon they started to record what would become their debut Necrospirituals (released 1989), they didn't have a contract yet, but a deal was signed with Radium in 1988. Necrospirituals divided the critics in two halves; either they loved it, or they hated it. Nowadays, Necrospirituals have become a real cult-record. Songs from it have been covered by Paradise Lost and Entombed, amongst others.
Stillborn did a concert at the Hultsfred Festival in 1989, but soon after that the lead-singer Kari left the band. To replace Kari booth as a singer and as a bass-player, Henrick Karlsson and Sami Miari joined the band. The new line-up did a concert at the Berlin Independence Days festival in 1989, but soon after that Erik also left the band.
When Kim replaced Erik, the final line-up were complete, and the record company (Radium) they were signed to, was sold to MNW Record Group. They released The permanent solution 1991, and State of disconnection 1992, both recorded in Silence Studio, located in the deep Swedish forest.
The band did a lot of concerts, such as Popkomm, Cologne 1991 and Roskilde Festival 1992. They also did a couple of European tours.
In 1994 when the plans were to make a fourth record, things didn't worked out as expected, and Stillborn were history. But the members weren't history: Sami, Kim and Henning formed Colossus, together with Messiah Marcolin (Candlemass, Memento Mori), and Peter continued with Mary Beats Jane.
God knows I'm a hardworking man
I eat Pittsburg steel, shit Budweiser cans
I stand six-foot-five
Weight two-forty-nine
I am a bad dream, baby, for the Ku Klux Klan
I am a man with a mission
A man with a call
A blue-collar ranger spitting Thunderballs
When a man just had one day of pouring sweat
He needs an ice-cold beer and a cigarette
No Libyan love
From a Kalachnikov
Loudmouth baby, well ya ain't here yet
I am a man with a mission
A man with a call
Jaw-me-dead upon a thunderball
All I say is nuke 'em all
Khomeini, such a baby face
I'd like your country much better as a parkingspace
A Nagasaki quake
Do the Iran shake
It's time to wipe out dirt with a white-hot maze
'Cause I am a man with a mission
A man with a call
Jaw-me-dead upon a thunderball
All I say is nuke 'em all
FLESH FOR IESUS
Underneath the sharpened scythe
Rich man call the cross
Run the gauntlet, noble son
Here's flesh for Iesus
In the year of the hungry wolf
Bring us the head of the bourgeois whore
Headsman, headsman, feed the wolf
Breed the wolf
Iesus put his tongue to the gore
Overshadowed by his lord
Preacherman shall learn
Tongue the flames and kiss your Angel
Preacherman shall burn
In the year of the hungry wolf
Bring us the head of the bourgeois whore
Headsman, headsman, feed the wolf
Breed the wolf
Iesus put his tongue to the gore
I shall bring you down below
There where evil dwells and grows
Take my hand now, do not fear
Follow me, my sinful dear
So
Welcome down below
Where evil dwells and grows
Bow, your sinner
In the year of the fire
ALBINO FLOGGED IN BLACK
O, you sweet
Little six-six-sixteen
I'm the salvor of your sisterhood
Stretched thing
Held in leash for daddy
Clench the thong, now honey, clench it good
Shadow blue
The shadow of the oxwhip
Whistling through the dark and kiss my poor child
Slashed sister
Kneel before your Daddy and squeeze
Now baby swallow my pride
You are my favourite Nightmare
Nude thing
O, the nude so naked
Mamy's little girl a long way from home
All by herself
On a southern highway
Now you're the princess of my Leatherdome
You are my favourite Nightmare
O, you sweet
Little six-six-sixteen
I'm your daddy, you're my flesh and blood
Shadow black
The shadow of the Raiser
All over my room, just flesh and blood
You are my favourite Nightmare
I, THE STILLBORN,
The night was cold
And the moon was new
This very night you gave me birth
You was old
And I so young
For thousand years I ruled the earth
This very night beneath the moon
Another young heart just stopped beating
And the ferryman took me away
And sold my heart to the Legion
O, no don't take me away
To the
Black...Black Legion...
O, save me from the...
Black...Black Legion...
They're calling me back...
Black Legion...
Don't let them take me...back
Black Legion...
A thousand children side by side
With backs so bloody and eyes so dry
We are the food of the goods
And each dawn we die
O, no don't take me away
To the
Black...Black Legion...
O, save me from the...
Black...Black Legion...
They're calling me back...
Black Legion...
Don't let them take me...back
Black Legion...
All along that bloodred river
That black mass of children where seen
Moving slowly, upwards with hearts so clean
O, no don't take me away
To the
Black...Black Legion...
O, save me from the...
Black...Black Legion...
They're calling me back...
Black Legion...
Don't let them take me...back

CALVARIA 1939
Can you hear my heart
Can you hear the hoofs
'Cause I am the black knight
Riding on a dead horse
Storming cross the Old Ice
Storming cross the Old Ice
Can you hear them call
You got to hear them call
Behind those white hills
And I know I'm almost there
A thousand years
Has already past
Since the father of my blood
Told me 'bout you
Can you see the soldier
You got to see the soldier
The man with the cold limbs
And he's pointing me the way
The man with the cold heart
The man with the cold Ironcross
And when I see your eyes
Your beautiful eyes
Then I just know
I have to ride for a thousand years more
Dead horse
Ride for me
Ride me to my destiny
Ride, ride, rotten horse
Don't fail me now
When I see your eyes
Your beautiful eyes
Then I just know
Soon they gonna call
All my skin is gone
And my lips are so mouldy
I live for no-one
But I will die for you
STREETSATAN
Here comes Michael
On his shiny motorcycle
Stinking gas and bleeding booze
A bow-legged cowboy on the loose
He's just a Streetsatan in leather
Fatbob Earthquake
Motorpsycho rattlesnake
He'll push it in, that's one for sure
You're the poison and he's the cure
He's just a Streetsatan in leather
Kick-start Rawhide
Staggering from side to side
Moonshine will bust his head
But he won't quit until he's dead
He's just a Streetsatan in leather
RAISING FITS CAIN
Hey northern wildride
Leap all over sweaty hide
You know what you can do
Claw Meatscreptre in your caterwaul
Hey In the napalm night
Before Charlie's here
O, I just got to be out of sight
You make my meat rise
Naked flesh will burn in weary eyes
Meatraiser
O, I wouldn't like it otherwise
Hey No Saigon bovver
In the night of flames I am a hell of a lover
Hey She's a cain Meatraiser
Hey And she is going straight to hell, boy
Hey She's a Hecatomb chaser
Hey O, and her world keeps burning on
Now shake it slowly
Burning jelly is gonna set you free
Meatraiser
O, I know you put a curse on me
Hey No Saigon bovver
In the night of flames I am a hell of a lover
Hey She's a cain Meatraiser
Hey And she is going straight to hell, boy
Hey She's a Hecatomb chaser
Hey O, and her world keeps burning on
ANGELYNX
Fire engine
Bloodmixed gasoline
I am a six-pack Lucifer
A King Kong Devil in a Hellmachine
And on Mayhem highway
Chromium shines
Coke and a bible on the hood
Snowblind Evil read between the lines
Can you feel my breath, girl
Hey pretty angel
Long time no see
I'm sucking out that flabby thing
Somewhere downtown New Orleans
Girlchild tearflow
But it doesn't matter
Awful up my Kingdom rise
When my shot-gun scatters
Angelyn dies
In the night of the Scarecrow
Belial knows
Belial sin
Angelyn cries
In the abyss of the Shadows
Belial knows
Angelyn
She just goes to hell
Young man Belial
Bought your soul from thee
Lucifer is Belial
And Belial, that's me
Christian Führer
Delerium divine
Don't you even think of it
'cause this one is mine
