COMMENT:
"We gave a lot of thought about how to do something different from anything else seen before and show you a unique video clip. Videogames have always been one of our biggest passions alongside music, and titles like Dark Souls and Bloodborne and their peculiar imagery and storytelling have been a huge source of inspiration for us: so we've decided to come up with a 2D/retro animation created by Harry Sussams, an amazing professional in illustration and pixel art. We worked hard together on every scene and detail to give life to a cryptic and gruesome narration tied to the themes of wealth and corruption dealt with in the lyrics of 'Misotheism', with the iconic tower of the artwork making its appearance into the video. Check it out!" (Hour Of Penance, October 2019).
LYRICS:
Desolated sceneries unfolding to the plebs
The smoke is merging with the dust
Craters are filled with remains of the feebles
Only one choice – Accept submission
Blasting down the walls with the might of the hammers
Set them on fire for the night
All the sins will be cleansed from their descent
Guide their lords into submission
Profane arcane writings indoctrinate the vassals
Cursing wildly their legacy
Alchemy and seances breathing life into the dead ones
Armed to the teeth and sent to die
The sun and astral bodies are extinguished by the ritual
Casting their remains into perdition
Through the rotten soil crawl the vines and the roaches
Eating through the heart of this land
When the eclipse will be over
Only one choice – Accept submission
Drained – Feed those seals with the blight
Breaking the staves
There’s no savior in sight
Bursting the veins that are feeding their souls
Drained – Feed those seals with the blight
Ripping the veil
Still no savior in sight
Thrusting the spear through the chest of the Sun
Bring in the slaves
Send out the knights
Silence the spark of the light
Bring in the slaves
Send out the knights
Silence the spark of the light
Solo - Giulio Moschini
Desolated sceneries unfolding to the plebs
The smoke is merging with the dust
Craters are filled with remains of the feebles
Only one choice – Accept submission
Blasting down the walls with the might of the hammers
Set them on fire for the night
All the sins will be cleansed from their descent
Guide their lords into submission
Profane arcane writings indoctrinate the vassals
Skinning and burning the enemies
Drained – Feed those seals with the blight
Breaking the staves
There’s no savior in sight
Bursting the veins that are feeding their souls
Drained – Feed those seals with the blight
Ripping the veil
Still no savior in sight
Thrusting the spear through the chest of the Sun
Bring in the slaves
Send out the knights
Silence the spark of the light
Bring in the slaves
Send out the knights
Silence the spark of the light
