One thing I realized about the artwork: The bodies of fallen Lamenters are behind the backs of the ones still fighting. They weren't just making a last stand. THEY WERE PUSHING THE ENEMY BACK.

Guilliman: I doubled your legion with primaris Lameters: *sobing* I get 5 new brothers? Guilliman: Wait what!?

Chaos Space Marine: How does it feel loyalist? to die for the lives of these insignificant beings? Lamenter: Euphoric

*[Luck -100]* *[Zeal 100]* *[Humanity 1000]* *[Faith 100]*

Original: Desperate last stand. Revisted Version: A glorious last stand

The desperation of the original feels more from the Lamentors perspective. But this… This is how the people they saved will remember them. Triumphant and heroic. Excellent work.

My take is that the original was sung by a Lamenter on the field, knowing it was his final stand. The revised version makes me think of an Aspirant who heard the story and uses it to inspire his fellow trainees through their trials. Either way, both are neat!

The Lamenters are the true heart of Sanguinius. Facing impossible odds and the worst luck possible yet having their purity almost unmatched. Both The Emperor and The Angel himself would look up them with infinite pride.

Lamenters. One of the vanishingly few groups in the 40k universe that actually could almost be called "good guys."

"Why father do you forsake us?" "Because my son's, of all my children I chose you, you are the bravest, the most selfless, and my most defiant, stand strong and bleed my holy tears"

Old song: sang while trying his best to breath in the battlefield. New song: old marine telling his cause to the new requits... telling them what will face..but at the same time whatthey protect , the reason for their existence. The reason they still breathe. They are the empire fighters The empire protectors Forced with impossible tasks Yet somehow They breath..not with their physical bodies But with the lot they managed to save

The original had the feeling it was sung by the Lamenters as they made their desperate last stand buying time to allow the innocents of Philositos to evacuate. This version feels like it was song by the survivors of that last ship of Philositos remembering the golden angels that descended from the sky and sacrificed themselves for them when the rest of the Imperium had already deemed them 'acceptable losses'.

I love it, the original sounded like the 9th's Captain in the middle of battle, while this sounds like some member of the administratum heard the story from one of the survivors and thought it would be a good propaganda piece, so he hired some professional artists and singer to make this.

Women: "He didn't cry during Titanic. Do men even have feelings?" Men: "There's not an ounce of regret... I'm overwhelmed with PRIIIDE!" *Manly tears*

These good boys deserve so much more then they got.FOR THOSE WE CHERISH!!❤

Personaly I prefer the original more, but damn those arts look good and I am so happy this song got revisit.

“No man who died in his service died in vain” Sargent Tarkus of the blood ravens AVE IMPERATOR! Love this version! Great work as always!

They can take our life from us, but they can't take our light from us. That was epic

FOR THOSE WE CHERISH, WE DIE IN GLORY!

Guys will think of this and say "Hell yeah"

The og one sounded more desperate this one has more confidence into them still the voices also sounds smoother in the end i love both of them and the art work looks freaking amazing keep up the great work dont let the hate comments get to you FOR THOSE WE CHERISH WE DIE IN GLORY

I liked the new effects on the little details. Also the chorus on the ending gave it a boost that I liked that a lot. The original still has it's place, but this one earned it's own spot in my heart.

I prefer the original, but I can tell Corgi out his soul into singing this, and I respect that!

Whoever calculated that an entire company of Astartes were insignificant needs to be executed for heresy.

Wasn't to sure about the change at first but the artwork and singing turned out great

All that pain. All that misery. All that Sorrow. All that death. Yet they keep going. Not for themselves, not for the Emperor. Not for each other. They do it for the Imperium. For their Father. For humanity. The Colors of Dorn. The Heart of Vulcan. The Blood of Sanguinis. Some say the deadliest kind of man is one with nothing left to lose. But one even deadlier is a man who had one last thing to defend.

I'm going to have brain surgery on Tuesday, and am going to have to go on concussion protocol for a few months. I'm glad that a new Stringstorm song was released before then, especially a redo of a classic about the Lamenters. ❤🤘🤘

"The herd we held, slipped away from the onslaught~." "Make our deaths worth the price, please use the time we bought~!" "Spurred by the lives that we saved; let out a cry!" "There's not an ounce of regret, I'm overwhelmed with PRIDE~~~!" That sequence of back-to-back banger lines is amazing with the delivery.

"For those we cherish, we die in glory!!"

Original: how the 7th company lamenters sang of themselves during their desperate last stand Revised version: How the chapter sang of them afterwards, how the Blood angels understood their final mission, how the Imperium and more importantly the civilians they saved remembered them..."

I can listen to this song twice as many times now

Other chapters will fold and buckle with the curse the Lamenters have. Loyal, brave, and empathetic. And yet despite being trampled upon by so many of their fellow Astartes, Despite so much overwhelming losses, misfortune after misfortune, and Battles that continued to whittle them down, they still embody what the Emperor said when he made the Space Marines : "They are my bulwark against the Terror. They are the Defenders of Humanity." Every single human civilian, regardless of his or her role, is part of humanity itself. There is no strategic and tactical value for what they do, they care not for the accolades they might gain, nor even remembrance for their deeds. While everyone else goes for glory to further their own chapters and themselves, the Lamenters find their glory risking and going so far as to throw their lives to save people. When the lyrics mentioned to make their deaths worth the price and to use the time they bought, they knew they will all die and accepted it. They cared not even to be remembered and simply wished for them to live. And that was enough for them. In a setting that was perpetually dark, Lamenters are one of the small fireflies that give off a glimmer of hope. If there was anyone who would ask me who the good guys were, I'd proudly mention that the few who carry that mantle includes the Sons of Sanguinius. That one Chapter with the checkered pauldron with a heart in the middle, that one chapter who gladly gave their lives, and will continue to do so, not for the sake of pride and accomplishment, but for doing and being what the other Astartes chapters should aspire to be. Battered, broken, but unfailingly loyal not only for the Emperor and his cause, but for Humanity and its lives as well. For those we cherish, we die in glory!

The OG was a story with a 1st person POV. This is a real emotional banger. Both are awesome and the fact you did not forget about this song makes me smile. 😊

Let's go! Song redemption arc anyone? The song starts slow, kind of timid, but HOLY EMPEROR, does it embrace itself right after. Awesome work, as always. The poor Lamenters finally get the win of a revisited theme song!

Meanwhile back in Terra, there's now water again courtesy of the Emperor When asked what was his response? "My poor Lemon Bois, you are goodest of all Bois 🥺😭💔"

Unless I’m mishearing the singer is an Apothecary, he claims; “Although your stomach is tied in knots; I can’t prevent every loss.” That sounds like the regret of a combat medic who is working hard to not just fight but keep his brothers standing.

I had goosebumps all the way through this is absolutely amazing

It's awesome to see this song revisited. The original version was easily one of my favorites. And I think I like this one just as much. It's a different feeling. But it's definitely not bad. Just as emotional but with a more inspiring feeling to it

They are my bullwark against terror. Only the salamanders equals them in terms of devotion and compassion over humankind.

I don’t know why this brings a tear to my eyes, I love the Lamenters so much!

I liked the original more but this is also very good and the art work is amazing

I like that this sounds more like a power metal cover. But the old version sounded more desperate. Both are great. Gotta put them into my gym playlist.

Members of the Lamenters 9th Company: Tzeentch . . . *I'm calling the Inquisition*

The male urge to do the right thing.

The original tells the story of how bad the Lamenters have it, their curse and luck damning them to a desperate last stand This, reminds us that despite all that, they remained loyal to the very end.

They have worst luck, but they have biggest hearts in the Grimdark future. They never give up.

Speechless. Finally, recognition for the TRUE SONS OF SAGUINIUS.❤

For those we Cherish! We die in Glory!

Was fun dying with the Lamenters 9th company.

Bloody amazing. It doesn’t discount the original while still being an incredible rendition worthy of listening to on repeat. Headcanon: This isn’t a “remake” of the last one. This is from the eyes of one of the rescued boys who got saved by the last Lamenter company from the original version of this song, who is following in the same steps as the brave men who sacrificed themselves for other. Like a tragic, yet, inspiring cycle. An ouroboros of heroism! And the TTS chanting… it sounded so different, but still familiar. Like seeing an old friend after a long time and seeing how much they’ve changed; but they’re still the same person you became friends with.

It is nice to see that the original text message at the start the video has been carried over to this revisited version.

“A final twenty reply” 30 died in that one verse.

I have always loved the Lamenters since I first learned of them and your song has only heightened that appreciation of these cursed but noble sons of the Angel. Glory to the Lamenters.

this looks beautiful. I can barely hold tears back

Hail to those that die in glory!

'Another solider hits the ground, succumbs to destiny's bitter sound' is the greatest lyric I've ever heard, 10/10

I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR SO LOONG

Yeah you definitely ironed out the imperfections from the original. Also like others said this one feels more triumphant, powerful, victorious, probably because the Primaris reinforcements finally showed up.

WE DIE IN GLORYYYYY!!!! Oh i loved, this version is magnificient, this song is one own my favorite of Stringstorm and Hmdkids. Great job and greetings from Chile.

I love both. The first was sadness mixed with an unwillingness to give in This one sounds like pride and honor. Keep up the amazing work. Also, if you get any more death threats, ping them so we can put them all on blast. FOR THE EMPEROR

Absolutely. LOVE. IT!

We came back to this planet, because we forgot a bunch of farmers!

my interpretation of this is the first version was the lamentors singing during the actual event, this is the story being retold by the surviving civilians to immortalize theirs saviors, hence why its more noble sounding and less desperate

As another comment put it. This rendition is heroic and almost triumphant, while the original is more desperate and defeated. This rendition is how those the Lamenters saved will remember them, as heroes and champions. The original may be what happened, but this is how it will be remembered

Best chapter

New art is great, vocals chilling, backing track awesome. You did a good job!

Love it! Thank you!

I listened original one time and forget about it. This is so much better. Nice job.

The Lamenters will always be The Emperor's finest

I got to say that I love both versions The first one is way more desperate and fitting for the situation (but I got to admit I'm not entirely drawn to the strain in the singer's voice on the higher pitches) This one feels more glorious and retrospective like a tale told years after (and hot damn the singer killed it in this version, I could barely find anything to be annoyed by in his performance, big props)

This song made me fall in love with the lamenters

If we knew this was the end...

I like this It’s a nice revisit that’s different enough from the other to warrant well existing but it’s not a definitive upgrade, more a side grade Tho I prefer the desperation of the original over the triumph of this one

I don’t think Craig had a “strong” enough voice if that makes sense, but he did a great job

Lamenters, the Pure Angels of the Imperium. Am proud to be a Lamenter. For those we cherish

Yup. Another certified banger.

- The new background images are dope af. Only the camera panning of the second shot (where you see all the marines in line) was better in the original : it went from the civilians to the marines, from the evacuation to the actual combat, as in "okay they are evacuating, time to start the party boys". - The singing voice is pretty good/nice to listen to. Same goes for the music. - Still, the original's version felt more desperate (despite the same lyrics being used in both cases), which is more fitting I guess. This one feels more heroic. It's pretty hard to describe. In the original, it felt like a warrior was singing while fighting. Here, it feels like a singer is, well, singing. TL;DR : Pretty good. Interesting to get alternate versions. Don't do that for Raylanor's Last Stand tho, it is simply perfect (it's my canon voice for Fulgrim) :P

At first I was iffy on this but as I continued to listen I felt that this version felt more like an actual song and started to get into it. The original felt like someone recounting a story with music in the background but this one felt like the music stepped up to be on par with the singing and the lyrics, taking the song to the next level. I like this version a lot personally, great work!

Some people disagree with the changes, but then again the battle cry of the Lamenters is "For those we cherish, we die in glory." Yes the Lamenters are not ones to simply seek glory for the sake of it, but they still see fighting for the people as the highest honor there is...

The Lamenters did not deserve such fates. They are, indeed, the best Chapter Legion.

Lamenters [Primaris version]

This shit slaps, I realy love the new sound of the song. It sounds like a Lamenter's Rock Opera and thats always a win

"i see the light escape his eyes" chills!

This song was beautiful and the Lamenters are actual heroes

The upgrade in production value is really felt in this version, clean as hell

I prefer the original, maybe it is the pace of some parts or the voice that appeals to me more. But don-t get me wrong, it is still a banger. BTW: What happened to the Malal idon? You teased it but I never knew what happened, did I miss something? I probably did

Falling in love with the Piano melody in the background, songs too bloody good.

I don't care how dark Warhammer 40K is, these cursed good lemon boys will always hold a special place in my heart and be one of my favorites

Lamenters the musical💀

1st listen: eh I prefer the original 3rd listen: huh this is pretty good 5th listen: FOR THOSE WE CHERISH, WE DIE IN GLORY!

the art in this one Emperor damn!

Lamentors, they didint forget their job so the galaxy tried to forget them via the only medium it knows, extreme violence.

Original or remake ? Both. Both are good. Thanks you for your dedication.

Love the detailed but sad reality that ever one hates them but we the people love them hope they get more time in the sun

Playing the 2 versions in synch to eachother makes it sound even more badass, like the Battle Brothers singing together in full unison!

Something I noticed between the two versions. The original has a choir like feel with less instrumental. This one has less choir & more instrumental

Prefered the "original" version. Yet, lover your work. Keep it up!

I have a D&D friend who is well known in our group for the misfortune that plagues his rolls. He has a mild interest in 40k, but I doubt he knows about this chapter yet.

Seeing the Lamenters using a mix of Aquila, Corvus and ever Crusader pattern armor is both awsome to see but also a string reminder of their standing in the Imperium, the fact they are still using Crusader patterned armor despite how ANCIENT that armor probably is yet the captain still wears it with honour.

“For those we cherish! We die in glory!” How did KZfaq not show me this 6 months ago when it first dropped. The only Chapter that deserves all the honors for doing what is right and fighting for the Imperium to the bitter end.
