Lords of the Trident - 'Power of Evil' (ft. Grant Truesdell of Unleash the Archers)

«The more blood that is spilled and the more power the Guardian takes, the faster order is returned to the city. This approach is so much easier, he wonders why he even suppressed this side of his power in the first place! In his eyes, the order of the city has been restored. However, the more evil he lets in, and the more he gives in to hubris, the darker his soul becomes...»

The fools that fawn upon their fellow man
Show me a king who didn’t rule by killing
A feast of blood to sate my appetite
Save your “honor” for a world of black and white
You’ll bend the knee
And then we’ll see
If I keep you alive

Whispering my name
Forms the clouds that black the sky
Say your last goodbye
Cowering in fear
As the end is drawing near
I will watch you die
Building my cathedral - to the power of evil

A living shadow that you’ve learned to fear
I am the beast who feeds on faith and valor
Twisting your mind; you now belong to me
Your final breath - the only thing that sets you free
Impose my will, draw out the kill
Your soul is mine
Expose your fears through bloody tears
The pain divine

Bitter is the wind
That foreshadows my return
All your hopes will burn
Desecrate and drain
As you cry to God in vain
Heroes never learn
Building my cathedral

"The Offering" τιτλοφορείται το νέο δισκογραφικό πόνημα των Lords of the Trident, το οποίο έχει προγραμματισθεί να κυκλοφορήσει την πρωταπριλιά. Πρόκειται για το έκτο full length album των Αμερικανών metallers (έχουν ακόμη τρία EPs και μία συλλογή), οι οποίοι δημιουργήθηκαν πριν από 14 χρόνια, αυτοχαρακτηρίζονται ως «the most METAL band on EARTH» και μας παρουσιάζονται κάπως έτσι:

«Our metal's so pure that only diamonds can scratch it, and usually the diamonds are the ones that end up getting hurt in the end. Our amps are so loud, Manowar knocked on our door and asked us to "please turn down".

You think you're bad? While you're watching our sweep picking wondering how we bend space-time to fit all the notes in, we'll punch you right in the face without missing a beat.

If you like battle, bloodshed, axes, fire, and losing limbs, then mosh your way to the front row and receive your free ticket to Valhalla. If you don’t like these things - too bad. We’re playing anyway, and we’ll make sure to steal your girlfriend in the process.»
