Primordial - 'Victory Has 1000 Fathers, Defeat Is an Orphan' (video)

Your flesh calls to the funeral pyre.
As far as the eye can see.
The horizon on fire.
He who hunts alongside beasts
May become their prey.
The hunter becomes the hunted.
As the darkest night
Follows the shortest day.

Victory has 1000 fathers,
Defeat is an orphan.

Vultures wheel high in the sky.
Calling to the carrion kind.
Who are devoured by time.

Make your pilgrimage
To the ghosts of loss.
Every martyr follows another.
To the great tomb in the sky.
We are devoured by time.

Victory has 1000 fathers,
Defeat is an orphan.

Full length album νούμερο δέκα στον ορίζοντα για τους Primordial. "How It Ends" ο τίτλος και έχει προγραμματισθεί να κυκλοφορήσει στα τελειώματα του πρώτου φθινοπωρινού μήνα. Πρόκειται για το τρίτο (δισκογραφικό) πόνημα των Ιρλανδών metallers μέσα στο 2023 μετά το live album "A Journey's End Volume 2 - Live at the Ritz, Lisbon, Portugal 9.12.1999" και την συλλογή "Spirit the Earth Aflame Volume 2"...

Δελτίο τύπου: «The title is a question - is this how it ends? How it all goes down: culture, language, history, society - humanity - who knows? Regardless of who you are or were, you get one chance at all of this, and it’s asking is this the end of your town, state, nation?

Myths, traditions, relationships, and I suppose it asks the question, who reacts, who rebels - how does it end now for them? 'How It Ends' is a very angry, defiant, visceral, and rebellious album, and as we worked it all began to take more shape and form itself.

It may be the note we go out on but it will be a note of resistance, in musical terms. I think it’s also more metal! And more epic! It certainly sounds like Primordial, there is no doubt about that, we have our own style and this is a new chapter of the same book. If we have done anything new it’s really to work with more conviction than ever, and trust more than ever our instincts.»
