Die deutschen Death Thrasher MESSTICATOR schicken sich an, ihr zweites Studioalbum „Total Mastery“ am 13. März 2026 zu veröffentlichen. Heute ist davon die erste Single, `The Tyrant’s Scepter`, als Video erschienen, das ihr hier sehen könnt.
MESSTICATOR schreiben dazu:
„You can’t escape the spell of ‚The Tyrant’s Scepter‘ as our first single comes with all the elements that we love: raging speed, razor-sharp riffs, and brutal drumming, which are topped by catchy melodies and hooks. We are proud to finally unleash this beast of a song! Creating the music video for this heroic and at the same time dark vision of an ancient tool of power was a great experience.“

Lyrics:
Forged in fire, ancient steel
A relic of terror, the power to seal
Dripping with blood of the fallen enslaved
The scepter commands from the cradle to grave
Bound by steel, bound by pain
Crushing souls in its dark domain
Crowned in death, no mercy shown
Bow to the power, kneel to the throne
Tyrant of the ages, death will pave the way
Scepter of Dominion, ruler of decay
Bound in chains of iron, drowning in despair
The tyrant reigns eternal, none will be spared
Veins of gold, yet cursed with sin
A beacon of horror where shadows begin
Twisted whispers echo through time
A staff of conquest, a godless sign
Bound by steel, bound by pain
Crushing souls in its dark domain
Crowned in death, no mercy shown
Bow to the power, kneel to the throne
Tyrant of the ages, death will pave the way
Scepter of Dominion, ruler of decay
Bound in chains of iron, drowning in despair
The tyrant reigns eternal, none will be spared
Crushed beneath its might
Kingdoms set alight
None escape the wrath
Erased from time’s path
But from the ashes, the strong will rise
Blinded no longer by treacherous lies
Steel meets flesh, the throne shakes in fear
The scepter is cracking, the end is near
Shattered crown, broken chains
Echoes of war, blood still rains
The tyrant falls, yet death still waits
The cycle returns, reborn in hate
Tyrant of the ages, death will pave the way
The tyrant reigns eternal, none will be spared
