James McCombe This is great sinister yet mystical sounding stuff and probably my favourite SALQIU release. I don’t know every album but “SPLITting” and “Blackhardcore” for me are the two releases that give this new one a run for its money and……… A Tale Of Defiance wins. Good shit! Favorite track: A tale of defiance, of truths untold (single).

about

This track was not supposed to be. Salqiu was not suppose to be anymore.

Yet I did, and now it's here.

Who knows when or if there'll be another. Maybe, just maybe, I'll regain my love for the process...

It was inspired by Mephorash, by the way.

lyrics

The trumpets silenced, wings aflame,
A descent to the infernal plane.
From heaven's grace to the abyss,
A metamorphosis in the dark abyss.
Horns resound, a symphony in the night,
Gabriel's fall, an unholy rite.
Through the gates where shadows dwell,
An angel's descent to the depths of Hell.
Feathers tainted, tarnished gold,
A tale of defiance, of truths untold.
Through the cold winds of the abyss,
Gabriel descends, a celestial abyss.
The heavenly host now mourns above,
As Gabriel descends, embraced by the cloven hoof.
In the blackened sky, stars lose their gleam,
A celestial tragedy, a fallen dream.
Horns resound, a symphony in the night,
Gabriel's fall, an unholy rite.
Through the gates where shadows dwell,
An angel's descent to the depths of Hell.
Amongst the flames, wings unfurl,
A metamorphosis, a celestial swirl.
In the sulphurous haze, redemption denied,
A once holy presence, now demonized.
The serpent's whisper, the demon's embrace,
In the infernal depths, Gabriel finds his place.
An exile from grace, a pariah of light,
In the unholy dance of eternal night.
The harps now silenced, replaced by screams,
A fallen angel in the devil's dreams.
Through the flames, the seraphim descends,
To the underworld, where darkness transcends.
As the abyss consumes the celestial sprite,
Gabriel fades in the eternal night.
In the depths where darkness dwells, A fallen angel's tale forever tells
