Awaiting its hour…
Mobilisation means war
And He followed at midnight
Announced with incredible atrocity
Souls driven forward into the arms of death
Patriotism left at the railhead
Fervor even further back
Lions all, led by donkeys
All fed with steel - contorted
Seed slain one by one
Declarations mask a hideous face
Wave upon wave
Upon wave upon wave
Wave upon wave
Upon wave upon wave
Pronounced with incredible atrocity
Declarations shake the foundations
Give throat to the spirit of preservation through destruction
Have faith in your creator, War
Death comes to us all, after all
But who authors such a document?
When is stayed the hand of God?
(Left to) contemplate endless supplication
Wave upon wave
Upon wave upon wave
Wave upon wave
Upon wave upon wave
We are left to write the dedication - Do it in blood
It is ‘him,’ ‘they,’ ‘we,’ ‘them’ - Dedicate it in blood

Nom de Guerre
03:39

A night so dark, stars cast my shadow upon the ground
The lights of civilization have been extinguished
Flares now compete with our memory of the sun
Searchlights dance as fire illuminates
Emblazoned with courage amid abject fear
Silhouetted across the sky
Who can sit by?
Mailed fist now outstretched
Grasps at dominion
Chosen, inviolable, predatory
The difference lies soaked in blood
Perish the carrion
A familiar dream of perpetual peace
History written in sand
A windswept shore full of revisions
Due the tide
And if I have slaughtered an angel
May the earth rest lightly upon my valiant enemy
Or cast him to Hell from whence he came
My nom de guerre – I care not

Salient and Redoubt
05:23
|

A creeping barrage wakes the sun
Dawn breaks red, reflecting the blood
Upon the ground
God’s hand seems a clinched fist
Bursting downwards
Gericht – Indiscriminate
Pock-marked, bruised earth
Daybreak welcomed with blasphemies
But we hold
Salient and Redoubt
Speak with the mouthless dead en clar
A code of blood, of sweat, of piss, of puke
We’re here because we’re here
Hell no longer of fire and flame
Hell is mud

Demoralize
05:41
|

Let us surround them
Speak the language of fire –
Scrawl blasphemy upon your shells
And rip from them salvation
Churn the corpses in the earth
Rain their departed back into their arms
Cover them in their brotherhood to embrace
Demoralize
Mark each sunrise with terror
And horror-illuminated sunsets with blood
Their valiant entrails as ribbons
Shredded to decorate enemy uniforms
Awarded to every survivor
Leave nothing to chance
The clinched fist of God bursting downward
Churn the corpses in the earth
Rain their departed back into their arms
Cover them with their brotherhood to embrace
Demoralize
Let it give no pleasure but relief
For our fear is just as great
And our uniforms decorated as theirs
Shredded crimson ribbons of brotherhood

The Unburiable Dead
05:56
|
|||
|
Do not thank us
Pray your thanks to the unburiable dead
Those known but to God
Inter heroes’ remains with reverence
As death gives life its meaning
And where the world does not follow
Such sacrifice that makes all others seem very little
But pray your thanks to the unburiable dead

Cease fire! Cease fire! Cease fire!
The Devil is sick of sin
Silence returns to tolerate vanities
The ram of pride lives on
Sick men’s hands direct a sham passion play
Ancient bulwarks collapsed into trenches
Recomposed in convulsions
Shed blood to rust the cuirass
Seething masses and courage rising visible
As heat above a flame -
Distorting all around
Days of hell let loose
Plaintive voice spoke delusion to the deaf
Beyond good and evil
Beyond hope and full of fear
Will to powerlessness
Push the salt further into the wound
While giving thanks to almighty God
For ending the violent miracle
Memories of guttering flares arc above
Another day dims in reverence for the departed
Tides bore and delivered -
Stultifera Navis
Adrift…

Ares Kingdom Kansas City, Missouri
Founded in 1996 by Chuck Keller and Mike Miller, Alex Blume and Doug Overbay were recruited in 2000, rounding out a line-up that would remain in place until Overbay stepped away in 2015.

The feral and unrelenting 'In Darkness at Last' followed in September 2022. ... more

never been a big death metal fan but this is actually super accessible for the genre, has fun concepts, and personally i'm always a fan of albums with short tracklists and huge runtimes (for individual songs) Great time, good jumping on point for newbies too.
