Lords of the Trident - 'Feed The Wolves' (video)

Word of the young Guardian’s prowess spreads quickly, and he is eventually assigned Guardianship over the land’s sovereign city. However, a new challenge faces him as the city is home to an organized and intelligent gang of criminals.

Exceedingly careful to cover their tracks, the young Guardian has little evidence from which to assess punishment. And perhaps their very existence is needed to keep the balance of good and evil in the large metropolis?

The city’s populace knows little about this vow of balance and simply protests his inaction towards what they see as an obvious threat. The young guardian is torn between appeasing the people and fulfilling his vow, and his inability to take action fills him with a sense of frustration, foreboding, and dread...

Claws out, scratching my door
Already know that I can take no more
Silence the screams, begging for war
Against these empty-headed carnivores
Sell your spirit to the pack
Ready your attack

Tearing flesh from the bone
Play the role of the victim
Through the city they roam
Someone’s feeding the wolves tonight

Biting off the hand that feeds
Leave no trace, watching you bleed
Follow the pack and act how you feel
Strap your mind to the breaking wheel
Roam the city seeking blood
Crawling through the mud

Tearing flesh from the bone
Play the role of the victim
Through the city they roam
Is it a curse or a symptom?
Throw your mind away, follow what they say
This is the cost of believing
If they catch you alone
Someone’s feeding the wolves tonight
People try to say
Lock them all away
To stop the city from bleeding
If they catch you alone
Someone’s feeding the wolves tonight

"The Offering" τιτλοφορείται το νέο δισκογραφικό πόνημα των Lords of the Trident, το οποίο κυκλοφόρησε 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.»
