The Silent Rage - 'The Serpent Lord' (official music video)

Time has come for the ritual
Once again, He'll rise and walk into the fire
The rising cult, unite
Hear the tribes perform their rite

The serpent becomes a symbol of life
Uniting the dark and the light

The cult of the Serpent Lord rises
Chaos upon us, war of the world
God of Sun give us hope
Bringer of light, give us the banishing of chaos

The circle of life lies in ruin
Where’s the sun to bring light and signs of hope
Against the chaos lord
Gods of war, heed the call

The Serpent Lord won't rise again
The God of light we will defend
This is the end...

The cult of the Serpent Lord rises
Chaos upon us, war of the world
God of Sun give us hope
Bringer of light, give us the banishing of chaos

Demise of the Serpent Lord!

Δισκογραφική επιστροφή για τους The Silent Rage μετά από επτά χρόνια. Ο διάδοχος του album "The Deadliest Scourge" και δεύτερος "ολοκληρωμένος" δίσκος των Αθηναίων power metallers φέρει τον τίτλο "Nuances of Life" και κυκλοφόρησε προ διμήνου.

Οι The Silent Rage δημιουργήθηκαν πριν από 17 έτη, αρέσκονται σε (μελωδικά) power metal μουσικά μονοπάτια και έχουν κυκλοφορήσει δύο full length albums, τρία demos, πέντε singles συν ένα split (μαζί με τους Secret Illusion).

Παρακολουθούμε το μουσικό βίντεο του εναρκτήριου τραγουδιού "The Serpent Lord" (που αποτέλεσε και το πρώτο single του δίσκου), με την μπάντα να μας λέει σχετικά:

Nikos Siglidis: «This is one of the two songs that I haven’t participated in at all, nor by composing a part in the music or even writing any of the lyrics. It’s a total effort by Michalis Rinakakis and Nikos Sarbanis.

But all I can say is, it’s a pure metal anthem and that’s why we picked it as a second single for this album. I must admit that it reveals the songwriting skills of Nikos, which brings to the music of The Silent Rage, a new aspect for the future albums.

He’s more into the American metal scene and it makes sense I must say. To me the song both in music as well as in the vocal lines reminds me of the best moments of Nevermore and Sanctuary, especially with the first ones that I really miss being around delivering brilliant albums.

I am pretty sure that it will be one of the songs that will definitely be picked up by many fans and listeners as their favorite moment in the album. At least it’s one of mine!»

Nikos Sarbanis: «I am not into writing lyrics at all, but I try to imagine some song titles in order to help the person who will write the lyrics. After I made this title, Michalis made some awesome lyrics. Because of the instability and insecurity in the society we live, you can see this way of “Exhaling Fear” in the faces of people.

There is a way of concern and fear for the next day, and somehow I tried to express it in a song title and in melodies as well. This way of expression happened effortlessly as I had the concept in my mind. Furthermore, the most important part is that the result of this song, along with Michalis Rinakakis’ lyrics, suited perfectly with the artistic style of the band.»

Michalis Rinakakis: «As soon as I heard Nikos Sarbanis’ music and saw the title, I knew what the lyrics had to be about! Even though we never really discussed the meaning of the title with Nikos Sarbanis, we ended up thinking about the same thing. The uncertainties, the insecurities, the instabilities that can drive people mad, angry, their personal terrors burning inside, leading them to doing or saying things they’ll probably regret, while all they are actually doing is simply “Exhaling Fear”.»
