MetalManiac333 These guys have really outdone themselves with this release. You can really feel how much work & passion was put into each song. Carefully crafted into something you can really sink your teeth into. This beast has been refined to perfection.

It's gunna take some more spins to determine my favorite but I gotta say that Nomad is a very strong contender, outstanding track to kick things off! All these songs compliment each other quite nicely. Very well done gentlemen! 🤘😎🔥 Favorite track: Nomad.

Svart korS The drummer shares my sick love of diced onion sundaes from Dairy Queen. That's reason enough.

Nomad 03:49
I search the land for shelter I must seek These raging winds will strip you of your faith To hold the line no failure or defeat Do not give in, this future is not for me The candles out I’m laughing in the dark You’re lashing out, grasping at the throne Feel your morality slip A hunger you’ve never known You claim this world as if it is your own Only the stars remain, to guide me to my home. The candles out I’m laughing in the dark The endless years The candles out I’m laughing in the dark The endless years

Last God 05:00
Ethereal world last one abandoned A lifetime of pain to rot in the void Damnation in chains, master of vengeance No will to refrain from sparing this world Last God Enslaved Sacrifice In his name Calling the damned, summons the generals This world is at hand, releasing the horsed A vile scene of death, thousands dismembered The earth turned to red, the sky grey and torn Last God Enslaved Sacrifice In his name His kingdom aflame, wielding the sword of ascension Bowed down in shame from angels dethroning their king March to the gates, demanding the head of the father Burn it away, we reach for the heavens to burn them down DOWN! Last God Enslaved Sacrifice In his name
3.
The Calling 04:41
Through the rain and thunder Feel the wicked wind On his knees to suffer All within contempt Bleed the innocents Of his wicked ways Struggle to repent No return for them Recalled to endless darkness In the underworld Hear the arbiter Calling them home Eclipse in eminent Rife with endless hate See the price unfold Through the endless haze The wolf and the witch The wolf and the witch All he knows and all he hears Is her calling out his name All he knows and all he fears Is her calling out in vain
4.
Shadows 06:25
Tell you the tale of a wicked one Sent to earth the ungodly son There is evil that is on the rise Untimely death comes as no surprise Hear the cries of the raging wars Rivers of blood and the blowing horns See the shadow cast from the light As the demon comes into your sight Cast away and left to burn Sent from unholy ground Their banners flew in the midday sun Spreading fear on those who did not run Ash and smoke spread throughout the land The death of angels and their one last stand The only son of the morning star A sacrifice for the growing horde See the shadow cast from light As the demon comes into your sight

Maze 04:59
The emptiness and clarity of mind I struggle to maintain this, all the time I’m carving out thoughts that gone astray On my knees without, no god to pray The harbinger of evil deep inside Is clawing at all, I keep alive And I’m screaming out a pressure so insane I hope one day I’ll crawl out of this maze I’m crawling out I’m crawling out In a rotting hole…. So, prophetic In a rotting hole…. So, pathetic In a rotting hole…. So, prophetic In a rotting hole…. So, poetic
7.
Faultline 03:39
The comet on a bright red sky Revealing its existence and the billions that will die The bells are ringing on the time that’s left Extinction our existence with a final death knell It’s counting out our names In the final hours You see it burn the sky The shockwave will collapse the crust Boiling of the oceans, rain of fire and dust It burns everything within its path The grail of existence ends with this burning world It’s counting out our names In the final hours You see it burn the sky I’m standing in this graveyard now Fighting all this evil with the grace of the world The time of living on the world that’s left Standing on the precipice of the great faultline
8.
Bonefire 05:49
The wind is blowing The earth stands still An age will end now Like it always will We chose our ending A prize to steal The oath that binds us Mixed with hopeless fear My eyes grow darker As the end draws near To cleanse my soul now As the shadow appears I was chosen My life fulfilled The path is clearer As the fire is lit We burned away and cast to hell Nothing left but ashes and our bones IN FIRE The wind is blowing A frostbit chill An age has ended Like it always will
9.
In Misery 02:37
Dark pretender cast upon the world Never ending suffering that unfurls Washed away See the ending come Alone In misery Alone Eternity Washed away See the ending come

about

Red Usurper Saint John, New Brunswick

Red Usurper combines many disparate influences into a furious sound that defies rigid classification. Blending elements of sludge, doom and groove, they craft a unique style that is both crushingly heavy and delicately nuanced. They play loudly and passionately using themes of destruction, ruin and redemption to examine the darkness that exists within us and beyond. ... more
