UNLEASHED Releases Second “Dawn Of The Nines” Track-By-Track Breakdown Video
Friday, 20th March 2015
Swedish death metal veterans UNLEASHED have the released the second in a series of track-by-track breakdown videos for their forthcoming new album, Dawn of the Nines. The album is due April 24 via Nuclear Blast.
“Where Is Your God Now?”:
Johnny: “The Battalions of the World now embark on a quest to hunt down White Christ and to challenge him personally. Needless to say, he must face the atrocities he is responsible for. But just like any other coward, it seems that he has fled to higher ground. The Hammer Battalions are ready, waiting eagerly…… Where is your god now?”
“The Bolt Thrower”:
Johnny: “The Midgard Warriors and their elite forces (the Hammer Battalions) are being led by the new avenger of Odalheim. Just like his father before him, he is known by many names. His warriors call him The Bolt Thrower.”
“Let The Hammer Fly”:
Johnny: “As the battle rages and Christ is nowhere to be found, no mercy is given to the women slayers of White Christ. Vengeance is taken for their deeds in the battle at Uppsala fields. Victorious and courageous, the Midgard Warriors now move their forces further up north.”
“Where Churches Once Burned”:
Johnny: “The Midgard Warriors now march across the northern lands to take back the land of our fathers, village by village, land by land. Churches are burned. And the Hammer of Thor is reinstated.”
“A New Day Will Rise”:
Johnny: “After the great battle of Odalheim (last song on the previous album), the storyline from the book of the world of Odalheim now continues. The great war is coming to an end. The ‘third power’ that entered the scene, forced both sides to retreat with tremendous losses. The only hope now is the avenger of Odalheim and the warriors of Midgard are convinced that their time will come.”
“They Came To Die”:
Johnny: “In the aftermath of the great war, many of the soldiers for White Christ saw no future in returning to their leader. Surrendering to the Hammer battalions, knowing that they would get shot down on sight seemed like a better idea. They came to die.”
“Defenders Of Midgard”:
Johnny: “As time passed, the Midgard Warriors prepared for life in this new situation. A time to heal and prepare for what is about to come. With the wisdom from their past and their current strength and determination, the time has come to rise and defend what is rightfully ours. The Althing initiated a campaign to hunt down all that is left of White Christ’s rule in Svithiod and to reinstate the Hammer and the Rule of Thor.”
