    There’s two ways to interpret the POV of this song. The first is with this video which was a later addition. A chaos space marine about to join Abaddon’s Black Legion has visions of what Khorne offers. The second is the POV of Khârn which was what inspired the song’s lyrics. I hadn’t planned to write a Khorne song but it just came to me in a wave of inspiration. I tried to mix lyrics that were slightly comical and serious, portraying someone in the depths of the butcher’s nails but also looking back at the their legion’s history.
    Musically I went for thrash metal in the style of Slayer, Pantera, Metallica etc but also heavily influenced by DOOM(the solo draws from E4M1 and outro E3M3). The music is meant to portray the World Eaters charging into battle. If you’ve ever seen the film “Gangs of New York” I was imaging Daniel Day-Lewis as Kharn charging the frontlines.
    Enjoy!! Another Chaos Legion song is next 🤘🏻

    The heavy and brutal riffs, the bloodcurdling vocals, truly an all encompassing song when it comes to Khorne. I saw the beautiful interpratations that Lorcan has made, as always an artist who envisions the song as a painting and a theatrical play, not just music! Yet, I wish to add once again my own visual: The exalted path of the berzerker, who may have began as a simple marine, who refuses to succumb to his wounds under a corpse emperor, so he took the bribe of a different master - Khorne, the blood god. The song narrates his ascension through battles and campaigns, from empty promises and a sacrament of what must be done, to the ever repeating cry of his task, "pile their skulls to mountainous heights", and the final epitomy of his deeds, his magnum opus, as he goes from a vain follower, to the chosen speaking the sacrament himself.
    And now for a lighter addition to the above: The first time listening was "Oh, this is good!", the 888th is headbanging and yelling "PILE THEIR SKULLS TO MOUNTAINOUS HEIGHTS!"

    I won't lie, for a moment I thought it was going to be almost 4 minutes of "Blood for the blood god!" Though only now am I realizing there's 8 of them, Khorne would be mildly less angry at this song. Never happy is the lord of skulls.

    • @LorcanWard
      @LorcanWard  11 днів тому +7

      What’s funny is that is exactly how the song started. I thought how a song about Khorne would just be Legionnaires shouting “Blood for the Blood God” until Kharn got pissed and lectured them about words not appeasing Khorne before charging into battle.

    ‘Our brothers fell to such pitiful lies,
    Deluded dreams of decay and pride,
    We were made for just one thing.
    Sons of Slaughter: Kill Everything!”
    Perfectly encapsulates Kharn’s philosophy surrounding why the Emperor created the Astartes and what they were made for: a weapon that would not tire, would not balk at any massacre or casualties, and would never, *ever* stop.
    The deadliness of the Astartes isn’t due to their technology, their equipment, or even their training or strategy, but simply due to the fact that they can endure and keep fighting longer than anything else.
    That’s why entire worlds full of trillions of people armed with technological wonders and peerless discipline fall to a few thousand blood-crazed savages…
