josedenoche Demonstealer has given us a great regicidal magnus opus with compassing heavy sword-piercing riffs, outstanding death growling lyrics and soul-stomping drumbeats to get fully heaten in the feeling of making an uprise against tyranny. 🤘🏼🔥 Favorite track: Sic Semper Tyrannis.
J&S

J&S Hefty riffs with an element of prog dexterity, pounding drums and absolutely punishing bass, topped off with some potent death vocals. Coupled with the anti-monarch lyrical themes, the whole package is excellently delivered like a brutal sentence from a one tonne guillotine. Great single!!

Sleeping Villager Good lord, this track is an absolute ripper. The bass work is simply stellar, and the vocals are as powerfully executed as one might hope.

Regicidal lyrical content is always a plus in my book as well.

about

'Sic Semper Tyrannis' is a Latin phrase meaning "thus always to tyrants". It suggests that bad but just outcomes should or eventually will befall tyrants.

lyrics

History is doomed to repeat itself
When those unaffected are silent
The blood will be on your hands 
For the good must take a stance 

Speak for those without a voice
Don't turn a blind eye, make the choice
The weakest ones will pay the price
Every story demands a sacrifice

Long will he reign, a king on the throne
Just a privilege of his birth
Long will he reign, a king on the throne  
For being the only son

Not life did know this king on a throne
Into riches he was born
Not sorrow did he know this king on the throne
Born with the silver spoon

All hail the king  

And so he ruled
And so he commanded
And so he conquered
From a boy into a tyrant 

All hail the king
All hail his majesty
Long live king
Forever he will reign.

Mark my words
The dead will rise
The dead king rises
The dead king lives

Change will not be easy
For the core is rotten
Ignorance rules the minds
Through time indoctrinated 

Long will she reign, a king was overthrown
The queen commanded all
Long will she reign, the king is no more  
She took what she deserved

The life she did know, you reap what you sow
She would not accept defeat
From hurt you will grow, that she did know
If her scars could speak, the stories they'd tell

You cannot have my throne
For you are not worthy
Your bloodline is of the weak
For you are not worthy
A woman does not belong
For you are not worthy
They shall not accept you
For you are nothing

The war is of ideas
To break the chains of old
The war is for equality
A freedom for all 
Tear down all the structures
The barriers meant to hold
No prisoner I shall be
To this system anymore 

I ascend the throne
For I am your equal I will bring change
It's what you fear
Justice will be served
For I have the strength
History will remember
Forgive but not forget

The fruits of my sacrifice
I shall not taste
The dominoes will fall
The light will not fade

He's never truly dead
Just silenced for a time
For evil will still brew
Within the hearts and minds 

Are the dead ever really dead?
