Epic Heavy Metal at its best präsentieren SORCERER heute mit `Reign of the Reaper` den Titeltrack ihres nächsten Longplayers, der am 27. Oktober erscheint. Zuvor hatten die Schweden bereits den Song `Morning Star‘ vom vierten Album vorgestellt.
Anders Engberg erzählt über den sechseinhalb-minütigen Song:
“This song came about when we were looking for a title to go with the artwork. Somehow we wanted to build around the majestic appearance that Death presents on the cover. It’s a heavy hitter and a typical Sorcerer song, heavy, melodic with many different parts and the solos are extraordinary. The song is simply epic, just as we like it„. In the end we all will sing the song of the Reaper.“

Lyrics:
Turn from God, abandoned, left to die on this night
My eyes wide open, but clouded and dark
Horse of black, prepared for this specter in my dying time
All the shadows from this war are screaming out my name
Kneel and bow
Before the Dark Lord
He’s the ending for us all
Tumbling down we fall
The time has come to repent our unspeakable deeds
But he’s just the rider, our fate will be sealed
Buried in dirt and vanish into dim oblivion
The stories they’re all the same in the chronicles of Death
Kneel and bow
Before the Dark Lord
He’s the ending for us all.
Witness your fall
The reign of the reaper.
Tumbling down we fall
Alis mortis
Exitio venit
Depopulator animarum.
Collecting souls of the forsaken
To travel beyond the Northern Skies
To show both worlds, Heaven, and Hell
Every man has a choice while they live and now the choice is all mine
Kneel and bow
Before the Dark Lord
He’s the ending for us all
Witness your fall
The reign of the reaper
