I - The Vile King
04:05
|

|
Did you ever hear the story of a king who lost everything ?
They stole my eyes and my throne, I didn’t see anything
I spent almost a decade to defeat my nemesis in the shadow
They left me with nothing but my sorrow, I almost died in shame
They burned my eyes and they slayed my queen without mercy
I survived my enemies and today I'm back with my army
Invading the city
Burning the traitors
Acclaim your new king
Overthrone your ancient God
I, the blind king
They won the battle, but lost the war
I, the fallen king
Back to lead my kingdom
I, the blind king
This time I won’t repeat my mistakes
I, the fallen king
Ready to take over my crown
I took time to accept the consequences of my blind trust
Step by step, day after day, I built my revenge in the dark
My anger is my power, my abusers will suffer
My legion will be their retribution, their final eradication
I’m the king of everything
I was the king of nothing
All hail the new king
Slayer of the throne thieves
All hail the new king
I won’t be blind in the shadow
All hail the vile king
Slayer of the throne thieves
All hail the vile king
I won’t be blinded by sorrow
Heavy is my crown
As the ashes of my pride
Now I’m sitting on my throne
Waiting for my new dawn

Bloody Salvation
04:09
|
|||
|
The rain is refreshing my dry skin
My bones are shaking
I see a light away, a new beginning
My destiny is pending on this invitation
Praising the power of my ancestors
This hunger drives me insane
I’m starving
I won't let my minds decay
The sun is rising
Please invite me in
Open the door and smile at me
I’m drinking
How could I resist
You offer me your neck, my bloody salvation
Did you ever feel that pain ?
Worse than a nightmare
Drooling over your veins
Blood is my salvation
I will burn under the sun
This hunger drives me insane
Blood on her, she’s sniggering
What spell did she cast on me
Again I did a bad thing
Why did I sin, did she play on me ?
I’m dying, the witch poisoned me
She poisoned me

Deathstar Rising
04:36
|
|||
|
I’ve spent years to accept this bitter reality
The fact that no one will ever understand nor accept me
I’m cold
Between sadness and emptiness
With my old friend loneliness
I’m cold
And trembling because of anxiety
Trying to fight hostility around me
I’m cold, I’m done
I’m cold
Bloodshot eyes and bloody nose
I need more otherwise I will implose
I’m cold
Shut up, I know my limits
Who are you to judge an addict ?
A rising star is born
I finally reach the end
Leaving this world without pain
A rising star is born
Those pills end my nightmare
My soul is getting out of my brain
All my life I’ve been wishing for a golden destiny
But this time, I swear, I won’t neglect my duty
I’m gone
Flying above my rigid body
My flesh starts to decay
I’m gone
Nobody is crying next to me
No one will miss me

Unforgiven Sins
04:34
|
|||
|
Why did I not care ?
Self-destruction and despair
My life could be a fiction
I’m a sinner with no conviction
Hurting to decrease my grief
Killing is such a relief
Give me someone to murder
I’m here to take the order
For more pain, you will have to pay
You choose the way, no need to pray
I bleed, darkness runs through my veins
Bad blood, I’m not becoming insane
I bleed, that was part of the deal
Bad blood, I shaked the hand of the Devil
I feel my body’s shaking
Something inside me is changing
I don’t believe in redemption
Forgiveness is not an option
My soul is so rotten
This curse is such a burden
My blood starts to decay
I knew this was the price to pay
This curse is such a burden
My blood starts to decay
I shaked the hand of the Devil

The Last Feast
04:07
|
|||
|
Death row
Accused of countless atrocities
With no choice but to accept this fatality
I won’t make appeal
God says to believe in destiny
Capital punishment
This conviction appears like a vision
No communion for my last meal
Mercy won't be my last request
No communion for my last feast
Death will be my last conquest
Tonight I’m ready to feast with my demons
Facing my witnesses I won’t beg for absolution
My execution won’t be a crucifixion
At the gates of purgatory
All my victims await me
Warden and chaplain won't appease me
They fail in compassion
Should I believe in religion ?
After years in death row
The wait is over
Time to endure my sentence
Shall I find deliverance
Now I see the dead staring at me
Now I hear Death whispering to me
Unfaithful unto death
I see the kingslayer

I feel the light on my skin
The sun is warming my flesh
I feel the rain from within
The wind is refreshing my stone
Ripening, through the solstice, through the season
Resisting, the storm could break me
Facing many dangers
Birds, mold and worms
Nobody’s protecting me
I know I’m weakening
Attracted by the soil
Dragged me in the mud
I can feel I’m not safe
Ants are swarming around me
They devour my rotten flesh
My state is changing through the seasons
Born in the air in the higher sphere
I hope I won’t fall and disappear
Turning from green to bloody red
I’m dying
My stone will remain
Still able to kill

Dreadful Tears
04:40
|
|||
|
Resurrection of the ignorant
Revolution and fucking conspiration
Modern industries lead alteration
But the damage is done
Bloody sky filled of sand
Cold rain drops on my hands
Everything is black except my eyes
Help me end this nightmare
Dreadful tears
I see dreadful tears in the sky
Horizon is fading, disappearing
Blood darkens the clouds
I see dreadful tears in the sky
No one will ever see their light
The stars are sinking
I feel an ocher atmosphere
I know the end is near
Leaded by overconsumption
Always pushing the limits
Consuming without needing
Nothing but wasting
Resulting in self-destruction
Calcination is not a solution
Pollution, damnation
Redemption, no salvation
Tears from my eyes
Blood of the earth

Lustful Gaze
04:07
|
|||
|
They live in a disconnected and primitive reality
Hiding behind their pathetic narcissism
They gain trust only to touch
Then use mental illness as a pretense
Everything starts with a lustful gaze
They stand like nothing ever happened
Everywhere they fit in with the crowd
Those modern pigs from the Stone Age
Why do we turn a blind eye ?
Witnesses won’t testify
Why do we turn a blind eye ?
Accomplices to this crime
Shameless, they act without shame
Thinking no one will unveil their names
Cut their dirty hands, drag them all to their penitence
Make them suffer, eradicate them with anger
Make them confess, don’t let them out
No more pigs, we don’t need them in our society
Speak up to repress, don’t be silent
Speak up to suppress, time to break the silence
Never accept
Never submit
Always repress
Pigs are to blame, they rest in shame

Cold Epiphany
05:08
|
|||
|
They’re staring at me in the darkness
Watching at me from the limbo
Listen, you will hear them sneering
Look, you will discern their demonic faces
Should I review my life
Will somebody remember me
No wife neither family, but still waiting my time
I realize I’m reaching the end
Dooming my fate
Old and empty
Cold epiphany
I understand I’m nothing but me
I’m not the chosen one
Sad and sorry
Cold epiphany
I spent my life living in fear
Seeking success and recognition
Afraid of this end, everything went so fast
Nothing from me will last
Now the pain is growing in me
This sickness will beat me
In the end time will prevail
Life comes and goes like the tides
Only my soul will make it to the afterlife

supported by 8 fans who also own “Cold Epiphany”
The Army of Gaia stormed into Switzerland a few weeks back (on tour with Vader and Vomitory) and the Greek Gods Aetherian completely overwhelmed me with joy! Damn this is good! Melodic DM masterpiece indeed! I really love all songs but am really obsessed with the first four. Can't wait to see them live on stage again soon! Fans of Rotting Christ would like these Greek guys too :)

This album is amazing, standing proudly alongside Machine Head for aggressive and emotional thrashing and headbanging. Can't wait for a chance to see them play live.

This band has skyrocketed into my top 10 and there's no doubt why. How can one be as consistent and heavy as them?
