A quick Google Translate from Latin shows nothing for "rellus" and some other variatios.

@Gimelist thanks! I am thinking this could be a made-up word for some unknown reason. I might be grasping at straws here, but I edited my question to link the full lyrics. Maybe the meaning of this word is found in the context of the whole lyrics? Thanks again!

<p>I believe what you heard is “subtelluric” where <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telluric" rel="nofollow noreferrer" title="telluric">telluric</a> means “of the earth”.</p>

This might be it! But if we use it the statement becomes weird: "subtelluric forces exploding violently"? It doesn't seem to make sense.

@morbidCode “Sub-earthen forces exploding violently” makes sense to me, am I missing something?

I guess there isn't under the earth. There surely is under the surface of the earth.

Not sure if this helps but you can think of it in the same way “terranean” means “of the earth” and “subterranean” means “under the the earth”

<p>I am listening to a song about volcanoes. It is called "Pyroclastic Annihilation" performed by a brutal deth/thrash metal band called "Demolition Hammer". It is from their album "Epidemic of Violence" released in 1992. The song is:

<p>I have come across a term I do not understand.</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>Molten debris<br/>
  Volcanic ash<br/>
  Seas of boiling mud<br/>
  Subrelluric forces exploding violently<br/>
  Pyroclastic matter intense velocity</p>
</blockquote>

<p>Is the word "Subrelluric" a geological term? If yes what does it mean exactly? What are Subrelluric forces? What do they do amidst a volcanic eruption? I couldn't find anything on the web. Perhaps this is an extremely advance term not usually used in the public world?</p>

Quick googling shows other people asking this question a decade ago in other forums without getting answered :D

Is the word "Subrelluric" a geological term? If yes what does it mean exactly? What are Subrelluric forces? What do they do amidst a volcanic eruption? I couldn't find anything on the web. Perhaps this is an extremely advance term not usually used in the public world?

I believe what you heard is “subtelluric” where [telluric](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telluric "telluric") means “of the earth”.

This term does not exist in volcanology. I can’t even think of a similar sounding term that can be misheard in the song, or misheard by the authors and then put in the song.

It’s possible it exists in a different language but I am not familiar with any options.

Sounds like your best bet would be to ask the band.
