TRISKELYON stehen grundsätzlich für Old School Thrash made in Kanada, was sie auch wieder mit dem dritten Album “Shattered Elysium” unter Beweis stellen. Wobei sich Bandkopf Geoff Waye auch für diese Scheibe verschiedene Vokalisten an Land gezogen hat. Mit Amanda Kiernan (Into Eternity, The Order of Chaos), Eric Forrest (E-Force, ex-VoiVod), Tiina Teal (Détente), Amanda Jackman (Category VI), Armin Kamal (Infrared), Dale Drew (Sea Dogs), Fíochmhar (Artach), Des Mason und Pete Healey hinter dem Mikro ist auf jeden Fall für genug Abwechslung gesorgt, so das am 27. Septmber, dem Veröffentlichungsdatum, keine Langeweile aufkommt.
Den ersten Song `Anarchy Avenue` mit Armin Kamal als Sänger und Growler könnt ihr jetzt hören.
Geoff Waye über den Track:
„For ‚Anarchy Avenue,‘ I was thinking more about issues like urban decay, homelessness, corruption, the rich-poor divide, and how these factors contribute to the destruction and deterioration of some parts of cities. Problems like increased violence, crime, drug use, etc., all become more prevalent in such environments, as you can see in most cities. The vocals on this track are by returning guest Armin Kamal from the band Infrared. As always, he delivers a stellar performance with some guttural parts and plenty of soaring melodic thrash—how can you not love it?“

Lyrics:
Hail, from Anarchy Avenue
On Bedlam Boulevard we’re waiting for you
Hear the sirens wail, another gunfight
(you live, you die)
Rivers of blood, glisten in the moonlight
(you live, you die)
Neon flickers in the city’s decay
(you live, you die)
It happens so often, it’s become cliche
(you live, you die)
Down here in the gutter, in the slime
beneath the smiles
Beneath the shine with rats
and bold depravity
Blind eyes turn from deafening,
unsightly growing sin
Where apathy is born and
debauchery begins
Hail, All Hail
Hail, Anarchy Avenue
Bedlam Boulevard waits for you
All hail, Anarchy Avenue
Bedlam Boulevard waits for you
Hail, from Anarchy Avenue
Emerge from shadow, die for your truth
Concrete jungle where your dreams are sold (you live, you die)
Silver tongues preach and your hearts turn cold (you live, you die)
Skyscrapers cast shadows of deceit
(you live, you die)
In a game of survival on these mean streets
(you live, you die)
Down here in the gutter, in the slime
beneath the smiles
Beneath the shine with rats
and bold depravity
Blind eyes turn from deafening,
unsightly growing sin
Where apathy is born and
debauchery begins
Hail, All Hail
Hail, Anarchy Avenue
Bedlam Boulevard waits for you
All hail, Anarchy Avenue
Bedlam Boulevard waits for you
City lights warm intoxicating glow
Is it just hellfires from below?
Hail, All Hail
Hail, Anarchy Avenue
Bedlam Boulevard waits for you
All hail, Anarchy Avenue
Bedlam Boulevard waits for you
Lost souls dance on the edge of despair
Concrete labyrinth, where life is never fair
Broken promises in neon haze
Shattered dreams in an endless maze
