Death Metal Fans könnten sich schonmal den 24. März vormerken, denn dann erscheint der neue DISCREATION Longplayer unter dem Namen “Iron Times“. Neu bei der Band ist der ehemalige Morgoth Shouter Marc Grewe, der noch ein wenig mehr Old School Appeal und Härte mitgebracht hat.

Gitarrist Sebastian Schilling erzählt über den Song:

„`God Of War` is the personification of the ever-present potential for conflicts to turn into violence and war, even if no one actually wanted it to. In „Nothing New in the West,“ the protagonist Paul Bäumer puts it this way: „I think it’s more a kind of fever. Nobody actually wants it, and all of a sudden it’s there. The song creeps forward like the first tanks in the Battle of the Somme, before the inevitable blast thunderstorm occurs.“

Lyrics:

The flexing of a muscle

The primitive show of strength

The looming burst of temper

The urge to pull the trigger

 

I’m the craving of the masses

Their yearning for revenge

I’m the arrogance of power

The logic that leads to war

 

God of war

I’ve heard your call

Among mere mortals

I walk the earth

 

To bring the ancient spark

That ignites the fire

Unleash the craving for blood

You can’t deny

 

At the dawn of ruination

The nerves are all on edge

Waiting for the signal

The command to unleash hell

 

I’m the promise of glory and valour

Of honour and of strength

I am here since the dawn of time

And will be eternally

 

Bloodstained the earth

Dead bodies all around

Grenades and shells

Tear human flesh apart

 

Confusion and chaos

Orders go unheard

In this raging madness

You have to stand your ground

 

Fires of war, forever to flare

Ages of blood, eternal strife

 

Brute force, no mercy

An unrelenting beat

Run, take cover

The enemy is close

 

The sun all blurred

By gun smoke and gas

Hours in twilight

The fighting never stops

 

Fires of war, forever to flare

Ages of blood, eternal strife

 

God of war

I’ve heard your call

Among mere mortals

I walk the earth

 

To bring the ancient spark

That ignites the fire

Unleash the craving for blood

You can’t deny
