SUMMONING THE LICH return with the latest installment in their fantasy universe of technical death metal. The St. Louis, Missouri band’s forthcoming second album, Under the Reviled Throne, is set for release via Prosthetic Records on July 26. Following the events of their established world of Arrias on their debut album, United In Chaos, Under the Reviled Throne sees the next chapter of the Lich come to life through tales of isolationist kingdoms, malevolent mages, witch queens and cannibalistic armies hellbent on destruction.
Under the Reviled Throne captures the promise of the band's storytelling and musicianship that was so evident on their debut. Upping the stakes to dizzying heights, SUMMONING THE LICH offers plenty in the way of light among the shadowy figures that lurk within the Lich’s universe of malevolent chaos. All is not lost.
Music written/performed by Summoning The Lich
LYRICS:
"Fallen are the fools born of those who hath betrayed my order’s trust
They've shown their vile forms at last and I reduced them all to dust
But as I gaze upon this conquered burning land I am malcontent, for human kind shall surely rise again…
And so… we shall set forth to consume the world!
Spreading our blight til every light has been extinguished”
Disease famine and death; the Sin feast on their flesh
“We are the end!
The Age of Chaos begins!"
Set forth now to the east, The Unholy Army’s bound to his savage and sadistic pleasures.
A sea of monstrous beasts, from fallen human to the Sin
They ride to the Bastell shores. Through the wastes they consume their captors to sustain their essence,
when in an instant from vaporious forms the Coven swarms as the witch queen cries
"For what is your purpose?!"
"The Dark Unfurls!
Eternal night block light from the heavens and swallow the world
My Will to conquer now heard. The Sin have crushed the ranks of man and Rodor crumbled in my hand
The Dark Unfurls!
Eternal fright drive light from the humans, those vile worthless worms
We reunite them with the soil, a gift to those opposed to letting madness take control"
Return to the soil
"Bound to hatred we live and die, take your place at my side and together we can bring their demise You've suffered at the hands of man… when they're dead you are free claim rule over those lands yet again"
"But I'm aware that power always has a cost. What does your heart desire, vile one, to offer this to us?"
"I only wish to spread malevolence and grief, though your skills in spatial magick could be helpful to the siege"
"Ha!"
Disease famine and death
In Darkness they accept
“We are the end!
The Age of Chaos begins!"
"The Dark Unfurls!
Eternal night block light from the heavens and swallow the world
My Will to conquer now heard. The Sin have crushed the ranks of man and Rodor crumbled in my hand
The Dark Unfurls!
Eternal fright drive light from the humans, those vile worthless worms
We reunite them with the soil, a gift to those opposed to this madness!”
