The dawn of an aeon. Light in an age of plague. An end to blind servitude. Every man an emperor. May I be the surging axe. May I be the blade of ruin. Repentance, a dying cult. Carnality, the regicidal truth. The dawn of an aeon. Light in an age of plague. An end to blind servitude. Every man an emperor. Dethroned are the divine kings. Self preservation the only law. Repentance, a dying cult. Carnality, the regicidal truth. No deity higher then thyself. An iron funeral for the gods of old. One nation above god. Vindicated at last.
I didn't know about this band for a very long time. That is a tragedy. This record absolutely crushes, combining technicality, melody and pure knuckle dragging belligerence. It's executed flawlessly.
The lyrics are great. The riffs are great. The leads are great. The vocals are great. Lots of hooks everywhere.
Ten years too late this was my album of the year.
A Metal Archives dig led me to Enemy Mind, who also rule. Psyched about these outstanding Pittsburgh bands. Matt Medeiros
