lyrics

AS THE CANNONS FADE
As the cannons fade, and the bodies are counted
Another hill, another mountain
This pointless routine, of our so-called war machine
Don’t dare to question why, so many have died
These nights last forever, time is passing by
The sound of distant gunfire, breaks the silence of the night
As daytime comes, and the sun starts to burn
The enemies coming, with their backs to the sun
But yet they’re too far off, to take them on
This cat and mouse game, goes on and on
Take your positions …and lay down low
…Hold your fire, until you see their eyes glow
Tired of waiting, a comrade storms the hill
Too late to hold him back, as we watch him being killed
No more plan or strategy, tactics thrown overboard
Another senseless chapter, in this godforsaken war
Going nowhere fast, how much longer can we last
It might be our turn when the sun sets in the west
Our chances of survival become smaller by the day
We’re ordered to keep fighting, there is no other way
The only way out of this never-ending hell
Is to storm that goddamned hill and arrange my own farewell
As the cannons fade
The bodies are counted
And the troops march on….
As the cannons fade
The troops march on
The troops of doom…

never been a big death metal fan but this is actually super accessible for the genre, has fun concepts, and personally i'm always a fan of albums with short tracklists and huge runtimes (for individual songs) Great time, good jumping on point for newbies too. alienasu

Good death doom with a good cavernous sounding production! This throws down! Rich Kinman

Seven Crowns and Seven Seals
by Sulphur Aeon

supported by 12 fans who also own “As The Cannons Fade”

Nobody does death metal quite like Sulphur Aeon. Meticulously crafted dark and brooding atmosphere that oozes with Lovecraftian horrors. This release might not be as punchy as their previous two but it’s still excellent. 8/10 RJ
