Das US-Heavy-Metal-Duo ASHES OF ARES mit den beiden ehemaligen Iced Earth-Mitgliedern Matt Barlow und Freddie Vidales hat erste Details zu ihrem neuen Studioalbum bekanntgegeben. Es trägt den Titel „New Messiahs“ und die Veröffentlichung in Europa steht am 18. Juli auf dem Programm. Als erste Single wurde kurz darauf der Track `Wake Of Vultures´ samt Video online gestellt.
Die Band stellt fest:
“WAKE OF VULTURES is derived from the idea “Misery loves company” but this goes one step further. This is the back side of involving yourself with the group of miserable people. Once you are a part of that group, you are either a vulture or you are the miserable piece of meat that they feast upon. Another cautionary tale…I’m seeing a pattern.”

Lyrics:
A wake of vultures gather round
They peck remains upon the ground
Fallen from the highest peaks
Rotten flesh upon their beaks
They wait patiently to see them fall
They once adorned their hallowed halls
A matter of time before they fell
Now all will see, this is their hell
Things of these deal in deceit
There are no creatures quite like these
They eat their own as all can see
You can guess who the next will be
In life our choices reflect our fate
If you let in hatred it won’t escape
If you side with sorrow, you will see
Misery is your company
A wake of vultures
Feed on decay
A wake of vultures
Deceive and betray
A wake of vultures
They never atone
A wake of vultures
They never feast alone
Wake of vultures
They feed on decay
Wake of vultures
Deceive and betray
Wake of vultures
Tearing flesh from bone
Wake of vultures
They don’t feast alone
Time to fly away from there
Your salvation’s in the air
Everything that you will seek
Lies out of reach of their evil schemes
Fall not back to these godless beasts
Their treachery has no peak
You cannot see if you’re not awake
Your pride it is not theirs to take
Wake of vultures gather ‚round
Your remains upon the ground
