YomaBarr And who doesn't love a good tale with their metal :) This will be great for the summer. You know folks, when it gets really warm they'll be back. Onwards, into battle!

The vocals are absolutely EPIC in all senses of the word for this kind of an album and I mean this, Arghbeast :) I can very well imagine sitting around the bonfire at night with this tale being sung. Thanks!

bmurator Portuguese Black / Death Metal. This is very well done. The music is great & the vocals are so clear that you can almost understand every word without the need for lyrics! In this game of extreme metal, it is far from obvious (at least to me!). Plus this is a debut! All three musicians are already known but still! Check out their other projects - they are all well worth it! This means there is more to come & I look forward to it!!! Thanks Sérgio! Highly recommended!!!

They are unknown They were never seen Half human, half demon The strangest living being They were born in darkness They are hostile and have no soul Their eyes are full of emptiness They can’t survive in this cold They came from underneath High temperatures, they need the heat A place so deep A nest in hell, the place where they sleep Like vultures seek rotten meat Tyrants seek your blood to drink Like humans need oxygen to breathe Tyrants need your flesh to eat Punisher, torturer, murderer Every race causes pain Loneliness, emptiness, heartlessness We are all the same They are unknown They were never seen Half human, half demon The strangest living being They were born in darkness They are hostile and have no soul Their eyes are full of emptiness They can’t survive in this cold You cannot breathe Tyrant’s breath For their disease will cause your death They want to conquer the world They know how to attack They will fight with no mercy And they know And they know Man will fight back

Far on the horizon Millions of torches light the sky The troops of tyranny are on their way No one is prepared to die Clouds are slowly moving Covering the bright of the moon The sound of their march is louder They should arrive there soon Through the forest, through the mist Moving forward with rapid pace Ready to slaughter, ready to kill Ready to exterminate the Human Race Weeps and screams all around me Makes me nervous and shivers my skin Fear and anger prepares me For the battle about to begin Two marching days away Millions of torches light the sky The troops of tyranny are on their way No one is prepared to die Freezing night Armies standing face to face Ready to fight Ready to destroy this place
4.
There is no mercy No one is spared They grabbed a little child And cut off her head There was nothing I could do What a brutal way to die Her head rolled to my feet My face was mirrored in her eyes Sweaty bodies fighting in this cold night I could see their sweat turning into steam Never seen so much violence before I wish this reality could turn into a dream Metal spears trespassed my body I could feel their cold in my flesh I could see my blood all around me I could smell the signs of death I fell on the soil, it was cold and wet It was painted in a dark red A blend of blood and sweat Shed by the warriors wounded and dead I´ve lost liters of blood so far I wonder how I´m still alive I have countless wounds over scars How long can I survive The war has just begun

Taken 05:25
She was captured, tortured, raped It was her last day Her legs were chopped My love couldn't escape Crucified on a tree by her fingertips I cried, I embraced, I kissed her black cold lips I swore to myself this day wouldn't be the last I was time to plan the future and bury the past Her tears flew like rivers under the moonlight Her whispers still echoes along the shores at night I blame myself for losing her out of sight But I will avenge her loss by winning this fight Mistress of darkness Heart cold as stone You left me here harmless Unprepared to die alone With the moon reflected on his scythe's blade The Reaper waits for you under his horse's shade How many more mistakes can you do While death is watching you Shadows moving everywhere Like spirits amidst the fog For those who died, who weren't spared Bells rang all night long For those who are suffering in agony Death is a temptation Drugs relieve the pain They live in hallucination Her lifeless body left me in despair Seeds of anger grow inside me Life is fragile, painful and unfair I will love you eternally
6.
Everyone weeping Everyone crying Everyone bleeding Everyone dying I´ve never been so close to hell So many corpses with a putrid smell Wise man once said "Keep this in your head You must be prepared There is a war ahead that wants you dead" There's no more medication to restore immunity For these trenches are infected with disease Looks like we're inside the bowels of hell Seems like they were cursed by an evil spell The air seems so heavy Our legs feel so week There is no more strength left It's getting harder to breathe Ashes to ashes and dust to dust Death seems near Fear among us We're living like someone kept in captivity Left in the dark, living in obscurity Filth embracing misery Pain kissing agony Decadence curses Humanity Tyrants seek victory
7.
We´ve been told about the prophecy Thirsty for blood and spreading disease This evil race will set the world in flames Nothing in this planet remains A reign of terror will rule for a century Few men will stand alive to see Dark clouds will cover the blue sky The sun will no longer shine No more the moon will be bright Humanity will meet the dark side I wish I could change the prophecy So that weapons would be too heavy to hold There would be no enemies And life would grow so old Prophecies unbound This book written for centuries With prophecies was found But after reading complete Prophecies turned upside down Men in fire will rise from the underworld To conquer the world in six nights But their bravery wont resist the cold Winter will take their lives Both prophecies are correct The last one happens first And the first one comes next Humanity survives the first attack But centuries later Tyrants will strike back
8.
For those who live, life is unfair When death comes, no one is prepared There's no more hope and dreams to share Nothing else remains but despair We are losing this fight Most of us already died We are fighting on the fourth night People need to rest tonight It took a moment to take a deep breath It seemed unreal what was all around A field paved with death Countless bodies on the ground It was getting harder for them to move Low temperatures were making them slow One by one, Tyrants were falling Frozen they lie on the winter snow Now that they started falling We may have a chance to survive If we resist a few more hours They should retreat to keep their lives With the cold wind blowing And the sun about to rise The enemies retreat Swallowing their pride
9.
Covered with black veils With long and filthy nails They brought the smell of rotten meat Riding horses spitting flames Armored around with silver chains A true army that never knew defeat Spreading blood across the sky Everything bleeds Lifeless bodies lying on the ground Like infertile seeds We shall not forgive One more time we will meet One by one you will crumble Enemy will face defeat Silver chains beheading men Dismembered bodies falling dead A silent whisper takes their last breath We are loyal to the crown of death Slayers of the Silver Chains One day the Earth will roar Rivers and oceans will dry There will be no more Sunshine or moonlight Ashes will cover the moon Blood will rain from the sky That day will come soon The day man will come to die

about

Unleash the Hordes is a conceptual album narrating the rise of the Tyrants. A race that inhabits the bowels of the earth in slumber. The day comes when they awake and unleash their unmatched fury upon mankind. Thirsty for war and conflict, they rise from their caves where for years an army was amassed, bringing forth plague, war, famine and death.

Along the tracks you will find both the perspective of the Tyrants and the perspective of Man. One trying to invade the other, with many casualties on both sides. What will be the outcome of the conflict?

Caminhos Metálicos:
"Musicalmente coeso e bem executado empurrado pela competente produção é um desfilar de uma violenta batalha de black metal, mas que também se embrenha no death metal."

World of Metal Mag:
