Die britischen Metaller von DAMNATION´S HAMMER präsentieren mit `Outpost 31´ die zweite ausladende, langsame Auskopplung aus ihrem für den 15. September geplanten neuen Langeisen „Into The Silent Nebula“. Der Song beinhaltet einen Gastbeitrag von Fenriz (Darkthrone) und basiert auf dem John Carpenter Film „The Thing“ (Das Ding aus einer anderen Welt) von 1982. Als ersten Vorgeschmack hatte es bereits den kolossalen Albumopener `Sutter Cane´ (ft. Aaron Stainthorpe) samt Videoclip gegeben.

Lyrics:

Assimilation
Cold and toxic
Like tendrils of ice
Slowly surrounding

In solitude the assailant strikes
Absorbing and morphing
Creating a toxic replicant
That hunts, betrays and kills
That hunts, betrays and kills

Man and beast intertwined
Taking the form DNA
To confuse the strain
To replicate, to assimilate

(I know I’m human. And if you were all these things, then you’d just attack me right now)

Centuries submerged in ice undetected
Confuse the host
Confuse the host
If it takes us all
Then it’s won

(This thing doesn’t want to show itself, it wants to hide inside an imitation)

If it takes us all
Then it has no more enemies
No one left to kill it
And then it’s won
And then it’s won

(It’s vulnerable in the open, but if it takes us all, then it’s won)

(If it takes us over, then it has no more enemies, nobody left to kill it. And then it’s won)

(Nobody, nobody trusts anybody now)

(It’s vulnerable in the open, but if it takes us all, then it’s won)

The replicant
Moves undetected
Confusion reigns
And all trust is gone
Raze the camp to the ground
Raze the camp to the ground

(Fire’s got the temperature up all over the camp. Won’t last long, though)

(Why don’t we just wait here for a little while… see what happens?)
