Heathen - 'The Blight' (official live video)

We're bound by truth
And gagged with fear
Held ransom by desire
Corruption, sin
So crystal clear
Deceit for all conspired

Reward the fools and liars

Angel of disease
We’re dead inside
Infect us, feed on our appetite
To bleed the world

In the machine
The churning gears
Death factory's burning fire
Spread of decay
This rotting sphere
Lifeforce for all expires

Construct the funeral pyres

Angel of disease
We’re dead inside
Infect us, feed on our appetite
To bleed the
Angel of disease
We’re dead inside
Protect us, help breed this parasite
To bleed the world

Dead - DEAD
We are destruction, we’re dead inside
Dead - DEAD
We are devoid of life
Dead - DEAD
We are infection, we’re dead inside
Dead - DEAD
We are the parasite

Unleash the plague inside us
Unleash

Dead - DEAD
We are destruction, we’re dead inside
Dead - DEAD
We are devoid of life
Dead - DEAD
We are infectious, we’re dead inside
Dead - DEAD
We are the parasite
We are the blight

Angel of disease
We’re dead inside
Infect us, feed on our appetite
To bleed the
Angel of disease
We’re dead inside
Protect us, help breed this parasite
To bleed the world
This bleeding world

Τον πρώτο "ζωντανά" ηχογραφημένο δίσκο της καριέρας τους κυκλοφορούν φέτος οι Heathen. "Bleed the World: Live" ο τίτλος και "βγήκε" σήμερα με το δελτίο τύπου να μας δίνει τις λεπτομέρειες:

«Mirroring the band’s crushing Bleed the World tour set list featuring “Sun in My Hand” and “The Blight,” Bleed the World: Live is the perfect audio representation of the Heathen live show, encapsulating the Empire of the Blind world tour as a moment in time.

Produced by guitarist Kragen Lum and mixed by Zeuss, Bleed the World: Live transports the listener into the concert hall with a crystal-clear yet heavy production and captures the interaction between band and audience that makes every Heathen live show special.»

Οι Heathen υπάρχουν στο heavy metal σύμπαν τα τελευταία 41 έτη έτη. Δημιουργήθηκαν το 1984 από τον (κιθαρίστα) Lee Altus και τον (drummer) Carl Sacco. Μας συστήνονται κάπως έτσι:

«Heathen is an American thrash metal band originating from San Francisco, California, and is often seen as one of the leaders of the Bay Area thrash metal scene.»
