Thou Art Lord - Fire And Blood (+lyrics)

The Regal Pulse of Lucifer (2013) By the first light of the day As the sun slowly rises Casting shadows of warfare At the battlefield of doom Great swords and shields Spears maces and maille Brave hearts under armor Eyes of fear under helms As Dragon wings shade the Sun The Wolf howls in fear The Lion roars in horror And the Stag fruns for his life We are three of the blood Like the heads of our beast (We reclaim our throne By right, fire and blood) Warhorse clad in steel Chargin against the pikes Crashing skulls and breaking bones Valkyrian blades tearing flesh “When I am through with you There won’t be anything left“ Screams of the glorious Queen In a frenzied Dragon dance We reclaim our throne By right, fire and blood As the battle rages on Swords slash and maim Even the Kraken flees in haste As crimson fire devastates ---------- It was 20 years ago that The Magus (NECROMANTIA) and Sakis (ROTTING CHRIST) decided to form a project band under the name THOU ART LORD. The reason was plain and simple: to play fast, loud, extreme sinister music without restrictions and limitations. The whole image and attitude of the band was undoubtedly Satanic in nature, with violent overtones and an inherited rebellion against the ethics and lifestyle of all major religions, including a devious occult connection. Adding Gothmog as a vocalist the band became a hellfire trio! Their first release was the 7“ep “Diabolou archaes legeones“ (aka The Devil’s ancient legions) shortly followed by a split 7“ ep with the Belgian black metal band ANCIENT RITES in 1993. The eps were received with great enthusiasm from the underground black/death metal scene and they sold around 8000 copiesaltogether! In 1994 the debut album entitled “Eosforos“ was released by Unisound Records. The band proved once more their devotion to the extreme music with a totally destroying album! One year later the second and more complete album entitled “Apollyon“ , once again released by Unisound Records, was a testimony of diabolic fury and bursting violence. Much better sound, much better music! The receptance from the fans was once again huge but due to the obligations with their other bands and musical projects, the main members decided to freeze the band holding a future resurrection as a possibility. It was 7 years later that The Magus and Sakis decided to bring Thou Art Lord back to life!! Kind of tired of the hypocrisy and “technical perfection“ of the current black/death scene it was the right time to play “no holds barred“ extreme metal! This time Seth joined their ranks as the main vocalist and Akis K. as the perfect drummer. “DV8“ the title of the much anticipated album from the die-hard fans around the world! The album is a unique mixture of fast modern death metal, primitive black metal, haunting melodies, twisted harmonies and even slight new-metal touches. All the explosive elements of today’s hard/extreme music, packed into one big bomb ready to explode in your ears! The concept of the lyrics remains purely Satanic in nature with emphasis on sexual liberation, initiation into Higher Mysteries and the quality of Satan through the centuries. The most amazing thing is that a project band managed to create an album that many other bands of the scene would like to have done! A statement of the band itself concerning the last album “Orgia Daemonicum“: “Here we are again after 3 the new album is like a tribute to all our influences. To all the bands that fueled our souls with rage and passion all these years! We grew tired of all this boring plastic-triggered new recordings! Precision and technique but no feeling at all! So we return back to the basics like VENOM, POSSESED, SLAYER, BATHORY, SODOM even the likes of MORBID ANGEL! That is what this album is about: pure, satanic ,extreme metal! Raw and powerful shit in your fucking face! No plastic, no triggering, just heart and soul! Praise Satan and bang your heads ’till death!“ ...
