It was an honor to be able to collaborate with Stringstorm again. More collaborations will be happening in the future to come for sure. He is one of my favorite KZfaqrs to work with and is very specific with what he wants done. Love you dude, thank you for introducing me to a wonderful community of people 🥰❤

All the cultists gangsta till the warp rift starts shining gold

I may fall, but ten will take my place! And if they fall a hundred will take theirs! And a thousand shall take theirs! So strike me down, I am the harbringer!

*+++This song is rated E for Emperor. Listeng it, is mandatory.+++*

Please have Joliet become a permanent member of your singing roster. Her voice is now one of my favourites to hear sing.

What is the strongest weapon of mankind? The god-machines of the Adeptus Mechanicus? No! The Astartes Legions? No! The tank? The lasgun? The fist? Not at all! Courage and courage alone stands above them all!

We are very glad that people like you exist. GLORIOUS job.

1:47 Glory to those who held the line: Nameless guardsman. Too true!

Oh boy. I love female metal vocals. Here's to more work with Annie Scarlet.

A guardsman may stand surrounded by the enemy, out of ammo and with a broken bayonet, still he will stand and fight with the ferocity of the entire Imperium! The Planet broke before the Guard did, brethren!

"Sir! They outnumber us ten to one! They have tanks and heavy artillery!" ".... poor bastards, they have no idea what they're in for."

A loyal guardsman holds the line with his brothers against abominations that twist the mind. Many of his fellows have their minds corrupted but the commisar fires true even in these dreadful times. They are running low on ammunition. All of a sudden a rain of bolter fire mows down many of his comrads as traitor astartes join the battle lines of heretics and mutants and demons. His line is faltering. They have lasted long, yet the supposed reinforcement fleet is a week away at best, many have lost hope. - These heretics must suffer if we are to fall they must pay the butchers bill to do so. - the guardsman thinks to himself He raises his voice and affixes his bayonete, his lasgun has little ammo left. "AVE IMPERATOR" his fellow men rally at the cry, remembering that for which we fight. A commisar joins the cry and calls one last charge. - We are outnumbered but we have his light to guide us. - they realise As one they cry "Ave IMPERATOR!" and charge out of their battered trenches. "If we die, we die valiantly. Outnumbered and outgunned we may be but courage and grit we have in plentiful supply." A Sargent tells out They charge, many falling to bolter fire. A lucky guardsman fells a chaos astartes with a melta grenade in a valiant suicide attack. The loyal guardsmen keeps firing while charging at the chaos hordes, who the mortals which mostly fill it are stunned at the guardmen's zealous, yet surely suicidal charge. Those guardsman are among the last imperial forces among the planets defenses. Part of a battle line defending a spaceport that had gotten entrapped by a flanking maneuver. They manage to reach the enemy lines, and the guardman stabs a heretic with his bayonete, his ammunition having run out moments ago. "AVE IMPERATOR" they call, detirmned to make the heretics pay the price "AVE IMPERATOR" the guardman calls just before a demon severs his emaciated body in twine. He lay dying in the mud and blood praying all the while to the emporer. The last sight that reaches his eyes is the demon that butchered him being torn apart by a mysterious astartes covered in flames. - Has help arrived early? Who are these *astartes*. It matters not my fight is over. - he thinks befuddled and amazed by his avenger He closes his eyes, hoping burning ever brighter at the cause. In his last dying breath he hears chants of "AVE IMPERATOR" seemingly with renewed vigor. "May the emporer protect my soul." He whispers in a raspy voice.

This song perfectly displays just how The imperium of man survives such an unforgiving galaxy. I shed holy tears this day.

Imagine: You're part of the last survivors of your Imperial Guard regiment. As the Chaos Daemons are charging in you rise up and shout: "AVE IMPERATOR!" and charge alone towards the horde of hellspawns. The rest of your fellow soldiers follow you in your charge. You smash through them with untold momentum falling one by one. Before you die you look up watching a whole chapter of Space Marines descending from the heavens. They will pick up the fight from here

"BURY THEM UNDER THE WEIGHT OF OUR BODIES!" ~ Imperial Guard

I feel like this is a prequel to a legion of the Damned appearance. Imagine it, the guardsmen say a final prayer, load their last charge packs, sharpen their beyonetts, and watch as a demon horde charges across the battle field toward them. They fire, they stand, and finally they brace for the fight to the death. And just as a screeming warpspawn abomination tears through them, in the very moment of final despiration, the blades of the demon meet the corpse fire wreathed sword of a silent astartes in armor of shadow and flame. In that last moment a legion of the emperor's vengeance turns the tide and the demons flee before their doom.

As the planet cracked and splintered and the all consuming darkness crept forward one final message was heard to come from the planet, “All ships fall back we shall hold them for as long as possible, Cadia stands, ave imperator.” The ships fell back and as they did steaks of lasgun fire could be seen on the wrecked surface, “Cadia Stands, Ave Imperator,” that would be the battle cry that would force daemons to a standstill, send chaos space marines back into the eye, it would be what maintained order and held chaos at bay.

I can just imagine a sister of battle and a black templar singing this while holding the line against a hoard of chaos deamons.

Our foes march in numbers beyond counting. They believe us to be inferior and weak. They believe they are stronger, faster, better trained and better equipped then us. They believe their Gods will grant them inevitable Victory. Let them believe what they will. *reloads Hotshot-Lasgun and adjusts Helmet* We *know* that the Emperor is with us!

*[Loads Baneblade cannon with Imperial intent]*

"Let the enemy believe what they want. We have the tanks on our side." EDIT:"SHATTER THEIR SKIES!"

In the grim darkness of the far future, there is only faith in the Emperor and His light

Enemies of the Imperium, hear me! You have come here to die, the Immortal Emperor is with us and we are invincible! His soldiers will strike you down, His war machines will crush you under their treads, His mighty guns will bring the very sky crashing down upon you! So make yourselves ready, you cannot win.

This makes me want to bayonet charge an enemy Titan.

"Fight until your blade is blunted, until the last round in your gun is spent. Fight until your Armour is rent and battered, until your flesh is bloodied and your bones are splintered and smashed. Fight until your lifeblood spills from your body, and nothing but your duty is left to sustain you. The Emperor expects no less."

The Death Korps of Krieg approves of this song. The Death Korps of Krieg also wonders if you have this song in German. The Death Korps of Krieg also wonders if you have it in bass boosted. Also in German.

The Emperor Protects. Now and Forever!

"Wait so you say you don't believe in [insert real world religion here] but you also say you aren't an atheist? What gives?" Me: *Ave Imperator playing on a continuous loop in my head* It's... complicated.

Across the battlefront, the sounds of conflict Grew quite still, and were silenced as one The soldiers once again cling to their prayers, When the amount of hope left is none. And though the stillness is a source of respite, It cannot settle the shudders of fear But if one guards their faith strongly enough, Salvation before you shall appear! Ave Imperator! Show me His protection! As I step into the flames, The light of faith guides my direction! Once more the hellfire erupts, The daemons swarm; an endless horde Their power's immense, they taste their victory And all of us shall be put to the sword! But in the last fight of the damned, When the final outcome is set in stone, Those who confront the face of the abyss, Whisper as one, their last words known! Ave Imperator! Show me His protection! As I step into the flames, The light of faith guides my direction! Ave Imperator! Before you, I am cleansed! Remove me from the pain of the flame And grant me mercy at my end! [Instrumental, about 2:02 - 2:46] Ave Imperator! Before you, I am cleansed! Remove me from the pain of the flame And grant me mercy at my end! Ave Imperator! I will show no fear this night! Into the dark of death I'll go, A protector, of the faith, and light! I think I did a decent job, if you spot any mistakes please let me know so I can fix them.

In my mind, this song is going on as Cadia is breaking apart. Song starts, the defenders, creed, Celestine, cawl, and all the Astartes wonder who is gonna be left behind, as there are not enough ships to ferry them all to safety. Then the chorus comes in and Creed is issuing his orders “the eighth will hold the line on Cadia till the end” commissars start walking the lines of soldiers who do not even need them. They are loyal to creed and Cadia, ministorum preachers are administering final rights, and as Cawl’s ark mechanics leaves the evacuation zone a voice can be heard above the din of Cadia’s sons final fight. “Cadia stands” Ave Imperator the last words on the lips of Kasrkin overwhelmed by 100s of the lost and damned, the final cry of a guardsman staring down a Khorne berserker, the shout of a commissar as he fights and dies side by side with the grunts and the white shields who are now as seasoned as any veteran. Cadia stands, ave imperator.

'They were soldiers of the Emperor, Remember Them!' Honor the Cadians! May the souls who died in their defense, eternally fight the forces of Chaos in the Immaterium! They shall fight the final fight, at the side of the Emperor! AVE IMPERATOR!!! FOR THE EMPEROR!!! GLORY TO MANKIND, FOREVER MORE!!!!

Imagine during an intense battle a giant warp gate opens, shining in gold, out come Custodes, and an Imperator class titan covered in gold and laying waste to the enemies of the imperium

The Original: Ave Imperator, i'm clean before you. And through the darkness of death, i go on protecting the light of Faith!

Sons and daughters of the Imperium, fear not! For a primarch walks among us again! *The Emperor protects!*

I love the fact that there’s like a 1-100 chance instead of summoning a demon from the warp you get a grey knight instead

На поле боя грохот битвы Умолк, настала тишина Солдаты, вновь, твердя молитвы Ждут наступления врага Хоть передышка несет облегченье Страх отогнать не способна она Надежду каждый получит в спасенье Если докажет что вера сильна Припев: Аве Император! Защити меня, Через пламя битвы, я пройду свет веры сохраня. Куплет 2: Огонь из ада хлынул снова Бескрайней демонов ордой И сокрушить она готова Людей вступивших с нею в бой В последней схватке обреченных Уже победа не важна Все кто предстал пред бездной темной Шепчут последние в жизни слова Припев: Аве Император! Защити меня, Через пламя битвы, я пройду свет веры сохраня. Аве Император! Я чист перед тобой, Уйми пламя боли и даруй душе покой Припев: Аве Император! Я чист перед тобой, Уйми пламя боли и даруй душе покой Аве Император! Защити меня, И во мраке смерти, я пройду свет веры сохраня

By His Will, By His Blessings, By His Protection, Ave Imperator.

From the shadows, I hear the prayers of thousands. When I'll be back, rescue shall come to those who abandoned hope. No mercy for the enemies of Mankind. Victorus aut Mortis.

*AVE IMPERATOR!*

This could unironically become a top tier Proselytizing and Recruitment tool for The Imperium

I know that this will be lost in the sea of comments but I just wanted to say that I am using this song's lyrics in my Pathfinder campaign as the official anthem of Hell. To those that are unaware of general pathfinder setting Hell and Abyss are two different place of existence that are sworn enemies, Abyss is ruled by demons who are chaotic evil that only want to sow chaos misery and destruction for their own joy while Hell is filled by devils who are lawful evil and are actively stopping demons from spreading across the multiverse (actually nearly every major plane of existence does it but Hell is the most extreme when it comes to it) and first devils came to be when angels became a little bit too obsessed with stopping the demons and started seeing chaos in general as the problem rather than just those that are chaotic evil. In short devils have a mentality of "to fight a monster one must become a monster" with added absolute obsession about status quo and authority which I think fits very well with the song. After hearing it for the first time I decided to add a little addition to my world's lore: the very devil that sits on the very top of the Hell's hierarchy is given the title of "Imperator". Thank you so much for making this song, while I am absolutely aware its more aimed for 40k fans I just wanted to tell you that when it comes to quality such as this borders of fandoms means nothing.

I adore your covers. Thank you for giving new life to these awesome old songs!! Nobody's got better fancontent than 40k!

HM Kids and Stringstorm bringing glory to the Emperor once again

Thank you very much from Russian community

When a song makes you want to die for a fictional cause charging an eldritch horror with nothing but a sharpened entrenching shovel. FOR THE EMPERAHHHHHH!!!

"From the flame and the pain." In the screen of my imagination: Every Female vocal -> Sister of Battle on screen Every Male Vocal -> Salamander on screen Both of them together -> Pure fucking arson.

This sounds like a sister of battle and a astaties made a badass church song I LOVE IT

This song is beautiful, the female vocalist did an amazing job.

All the deamons gangsta 'til the church starts walking

wow, I cried. respect to the vocals. I usually hate vocals in metal, but here it’s perfect

"The Battle of Gathalamor: The battle began when the Word Bearers Chaos Space Marines assailed the holy Imperial world of Gathalamor Prime. Their Dark Apostles summoned Daemons, and the fight turned viciously against the Imperial defenders, which included the Mordian 84th Regiment and Order of the Argent Shroud. These brave souls dug in to stage their last stand in the ruins of Gathalamor's macro-cathedral. As the hordes of traitors mobilized for the final attack, the Crusade arrived in the form of a combined force of Adeptus Custodes and Grey Knights. Inspired by the arrival of these demigods, the Mordians and Sisters of Battle advanced, prayer songs rising from their ranks. The Word Bearers and their Daemonic allies launched a savage counter-attack, but, after three days of vicious fighting, the traitors were broken in the Battle for the Statue Steps." Pretty similar, Is this the battle?

I played this in my car now it's a Baneblade

I see a "music video" for this song a bit like this: During the intro, an aerial view of a battlefield being attacked by Daemons.Basilisks in the back firing barages to try to slow down the daemon advance. During the first verse, soldiers in trenches and behind barricades "clinging to their prayers". Muffled sounds of artillery barages in the background. During the chorus the front line of guardsmen bayonet-charging into the daemon horde, taking as much enemies with them as possible. During the second verse the soldiers of the second line fix their bayonets and prepare to charge the horde. During the second chorus it focusses on a female guardsman laying on the ground, about to be killed, but the daemon is shot down by a male guardsman. The female gets up, grabs her lasgun and together, back to back, take down as much daemons as possible, but eventually getting overrun. During the musical bridge we see the backline getting overrun by the daemon army. The artillery gets overrun, we see the crews of basilisks desperately defending their positions, but to no avail. In the last chorus, a daemon gets hit by a fiery bolt. Out of the darkness appears the Legion of the Damned, their guns spitting death and finnally driving back the horde. In the outro, we see another aerial shot of the battlefield. Mounts of dead guardsmen and daemons, destroyed artillery, with the Legion of the Damned killing every daemon in sight. In the last shot, we see the fiery Marines walking up to the place were the two guardsmen lay dead, one with the banner in hand, surrounded by dead daemons.

We are fury, We are flame! Our emperor is watching us this day! And their gods wont save them. Ave Imperator!!

Hearing this song, its difficult not to think of the Imperium as the "good guys".

As a chaos worshipper. I am now, I'm beginning to question my loyalties. No one told me Imperial music was this f****** Good.

This getting released and the Emperor starting to walk among his followers again in the lore makes this the best Christmas ever

I love the sheer rage and energy behind "ave, imperator!" makes me picture a gaurdsmen calling it out as he lunges at some traitor marine, a krak grenade primed in each hand, the lines after being fitting for something like that as well "I will show no fear this night" Will never get tired of this song Glory to the first man to die!

Friendly reminder "The planet broke before the Guard!"

A Gothic (my mediocre Latin from back in high school) translation of the chorus, which should also fit the melody. Thanks for the song Ave, imperator! Hail, Emperor! Ante Te purificor! I am purified before You! Remove dolorem flammarum, Remove the pain of the flames, et des respectum ad finem! and give me respite at the end! Ave, imperator! Hail, Emperor! Non timebo noctem! I will not fear the night! Et ibo in tenebris mortis, I will go into the darkness of death, protector fidei luminisque sum! I am a protector of faith and light!

Emperor be praised!

a guardsman sits in his trench close to despair. his friends and comrades have fallen beside him and are looking with cold dead eyes at him while the arch enemy shout, scream and cry out there battle cry's. he is almost willing to just let them end is life. then a squad of black Templars and sisters of battle march towards him from the rear whilst singing this song with there vox amplified voices and behind the song the growing battle cry of he imperium "FOR THE EMPEROR!" as the imperial guard advances. the sullen guardsman just stands there transfixed as the space marines and sisters of battle just march past him and carry on towards the enemy. his heart fills with joy and pride as he loads a fresh cell and fixes his bayonet and clambers out to join them in what could be his final charge as he takes up the cry "AVE IMPERATOR!!!"

This gave me tyranid-sized shivers.

This xenos are highly superior than any you, they mastered the art of combat during centuries, they killed undefeated enemy, they know they are better. But there is something they don't know, when they were practicing their fighting skill in the cozyness of their warm ship we were fighting for our own life grabbing our lunch out of the hands of weaker than us. When they slept in the better bed they fight to won, we were shaking in the cold of the night. They never know true war, they always fight but they never have to survive. This is why any of us have more value than all of them

"Enemies of the Imperium here me!" *All true Imperial Subjects complete this holy verse!*

Ave Imperator! Gloria in excelsis Terra!

I think this is this is the HMkids song ive most wanted a cover for, truely we must all be truly bkessed by the emperor to recieve such a wonderous sanguinala gift.

Your weapons have been destroyed, your limbs have been broken, you lay down on the ground powerlessly, watching you brothers charge hopelessly into the endless waves of enemies. And at that very last moment of yours, you try to shout as loud as you possibly can, as heroically as you have ever dreamt; “Ave Imperator”. Your last words are not heard, your last effort means nothing. But as you finally accept your fate, the words you’ve just said are repeated for a second time; “Ave Imperator”. Then a third, a fourth, ...; you look up into the sky and to your surprise, an entire army has arrived, and they all shout the same words. “AVE IMPERATOR” as the whole sky covered in ships among ships; “AVE IMPERATOR” as the ground exploded by tons and tons of missiles and bombs; “AVE IMPERATOR” as the space marines jump down from the sky and make the enemies fucking vaporized. Then you close your eyes, knowing that although you have died, you have held your faith, so that now, you are immortalized.

I want a multi-source music video of this. Including the clip from "Guardsman" where a Cadian is ready to face off with a swarm of Tyranids with nothing but a combat knife.

It's a crime that you don't have more subscribers, my dude. You're amazing, and on this one you're both godlike. Keep up the banner!

Remember, we need HMKids - Blood Angel (Sanguinius) too.

Ave Imperator, gloria in excelsis Terra!

THE PLANET BROKE BEFORE THE GUARD!!

I'm absolutely stunned.

i like to think this is a moment were a space marine chaplain see a guardswoman praying as she is dying, and he joins her on her prayer

Mom: Stop playing this trash music and go listen to some Religious Music. Me:

"Ready, Sister? " "The servants of the Emperor are always ready, son of Titan" "Indeed we are sister, indeed we are" "Ave Imperator, Brother-Captain Alastar. I will search for you at the Emperor' right" "Ave Imperator Sister Celeste. I will not search for you, for where I go, there is no room for souls as good as yours " "Then, Alastar, listen to my last request" "Anything, Sister" "Until death does us apart, will you stand by my side? " "To the Heart of the eye of terror if needed, beloved sister. Ave imperator"

This is getting my toaster wetter then the admech idol.

In the emperor name, let no one survive

I am one man, But I stand not alone. I may fall, But ten thousand shall take my place. I face horrors uncounted, But I will hold the line. I am the Hammer of the Emperor, I am an Imperial Guardsman; And I. WILL. NOT. YIELD! AVE IMPERATOR! GOD-EMPEROR WILLS IT!

This is finals week at my college and this is the perfect song to listen to right before, during, and after the exam! I must say that this ties in my favorites, right next to Cadian Blood, but i think this is better. Another wonderful song love the difference in voices, lyrics are nice, music is beautifully done as well. Thank goodness we have content creators like you out there, wish you'd get more recognition for the work you do!

Ave Imperator indeed, sometimes even hugs can't solve everything. Flamer time!

This song is amazing and i love everyone who made it possible for me to listen to it.

"If one guards their faith strongly enough salvation before you shall appear" Indeed it shall, cast in black cermaite and bone, wreathed in fire and borne of vengeance. When fate hangs in the balance, they will come and you will be victorious on that day

AVE IMPERATOR!!! BROTHERS AND SISTERS!! LET NONE LIVE!! FOR THE EMPEROR AND THE WILL OF MAN!!

I imagine a scene of a lone Astartes among guardsmen, defending a planet. He had been sent there with a handful of his battle-brothers to reinforce the front, from a Chapter who venerate the Emperor as a hero of humanity, but not a god, and so at first he found the guards' literal worship of the Emperor as a deity to be a bit silly, like children deifying their parent - the first time he heard this song, he simply rolled his eyes and ignored it, even as it burned itself indelibly into his transhuman memory. But over the course of his time with these men and women, he came to understand their frailty and their deep psychological need for something beyond themselves to believe in, something to pray to. Now, in this final battle, he stands beside a young woman who had been leading the song the night before, her hands shaking with fear as she struggles to hold her lasgun steady. In a moment of compassion, the proud Astartes kneels beside her, places a hand over hers and begins singing, bidding her and the rest around them to follow in their prayer together, one last time... "Ave Imperator! Show me his protection! As I step into the flames, The light of faith guides my direction! Ave Imperator! Before you, I am cleansed! Remove me from the pain of the flame, And grant me mercy at my end! Ave Imperator! I will show no fear this night! Into the dark of death I'll go, A protector of the faith and light!"

АВЕ ИМПЕРАТОР!!!

I loved original song, unfortunatelly, I cant speak Russian. Now to hear in language I can understand, its awesomeness reached new hights. I salute you, and Im dedicated heretic, so that speaks about your abilities even more. Great work

THIS WORKS IS MOST HOLY AND TRULY GLORIFIES THE EMPEROR!!!

дело hmkids живёт

It is humanity's manifest destiny to conquer the stars and ascend beyond puny gods Hail the man-emperor of mankind Long live terra

When war breaks out. *_Bring In The Orchestral Metal!_*

I don't know about the rest of you, but I got here thanks to one Chronicler called Oculus, and although my fate is not as strong as his, his worth and dedication as a fellow man of the Imperium is the kind of virtue that I'd fight for. AVE IMPERATOR! GLORIA, EN EXCELSIS TERRA!

Once again an awesome song. Keep up the awesome work!

BLOOD FOR FOR THE EMPEROR! SKULLS FOR THE GOLDEN THRONE!

The Omnissiah approves of this combination of sounds and vocals.

Beautiful as always.

Perfect! Thank you for this amazing cover and a cute voice! Original songs from HMKids always were lacking this kind of approach with a high-quality recording!

Святая Терра и Золотой Трон....Классно получилось!!))

This song makes me imagine a scenario where Chaos has won, Daemons are overrunning the Imperial Guard, and this one squad just shouts THE EMPEROR PROTECTS and charges in, dying in a blaze of glory. In their last moments, they see the Legion of the Damned appear around them.
