Apocalypse Orchestra - Flagellants' Song (HQ Audio Stream)

[@MoviesWithRandy]

This is some of the best music ever made and it seems like this band just disappeared after the greatest album ever. Always keep coming back to this album every once in a while. Simply the best

[LYRICS] On blistered feet Still marching on Hands held in prayer All hope is gone Lash on your back With pure intent Welts on your skin The punishment Raise your whip and flay your flesh Join our congregation True believers come with us In corporeal damnation To feel glory, When sinew is stripped from bone And to feel closer To he who made this our life Embracing the shame Of sins that you've seen It won't go away You are so unclean The pain and the guilt It all seems so sad The penance is just Or deeds gone mad So many lies to bestow upon yourself Smiling through tears and screams With wounds so fresh Guilt ridden, all for nothing, wretched still Mortification of the sinful flesh

If anyone is interested, the name of the melody at the beginning is 'Stella Splendens' which comes from a 14th century Catalan manuscript, the Llibre Vermell de Montserrat.

I'm under the impression that you guys are rather new, which I mean with no negative intent. The music produced that I've listened to is phenomenal. Honestly the first band I came to enjoy in the last 16 months or so. That said, I hope you guys produce more music. I'll support whenever I can, FOR SURE!

[@ApocalypseOrchestra]

Thank you! We're longing to make more music.

[@DirMrsHQoftheScreamingGhouls]

I adore this song. Everytime I listen I start to picture what it must have been like to live in a time with complete intellectual darkness. Imagine crops failing and thinking doing a pilgrimage complete with self abuse might make things better. As bad as things sometimes seem now, and there is definitely places where darkness still has a stronghold, this song makes me think we're going in the right direction.

[@aarnault5297]

If I may, it is actually exactly like Holy Grail. In fact in the scene where the monks hit themselves with boards, they sing the "Pie Jesus" which is the "flagellant's song" (or Geisslerlieder in german). And that is exactly what is sung here.

[@matthewkeill4525]

This band really speaks to me I love this type of genre, mixed with middle ages , rythem I would like them to do a states tour soon here in corpus christi texas. At the concrete street on the big stage.

[@doohanmurphy8974]

This reminds me a lot of a less black-metal version of Caladan Brood or a heavier Blind Guardian. Top notch guys

[@Kebaskia]

Reminds me of some of the music Miracle of Sound has produced. Sirona, Forever Flame and Fires Fade to name a few.

[@GeeBarone]

For anyone interested, one of the tunes in this is a real medieval song, called "stella splendens" - a fittingly ironic choice for this song. (one of the main tunes in garden of earthly delights is also a real medieval tune)

[@justinwilliams2588]

Came here to say that. Stella Splendids is one of the "grungiest" medieval songs ever and I love it!

[@Oryxification]

This melody is _Stella Splendens_ It's a pilgrimage song

[@calebmarshall5291]

Starts off with the chant from Monty Python and turns into the melody of Locked Within the Crystal Ball from Blackmore's Night.

[@yoco93cro]

I've been liking this album and especially this track since it came out. My vinyl just arrived today and I laughed when I saw that band, among others, thanked to Monty Python. It totally makes sense when this song starts xD The part which is a cover of stella splendens is done so nicely, not excessive in any aspect, yet being powerful and strong.

[@dustinatkinson5550]

[@Northlander75]

sounds like Blackmore´s night - locked within the crystal ball.

[@ApocalypseOrchestra]

Fredrik, you are of course correct. The melody that both we and Ritchie Blackmore (as well as many others) have used is from a song called Stella Splendens and hails from the 14th-century, originally from a manuscript called Llibre Vermell de Montserrat, one of the oldest medieval manuscripts containing music. Thus, "keeping it real", so to medievally metally speak. :)

[@ravengomes7424]

I thought so too!

[@abortedlord]

That is the most awesome explanation for any bit of music I have ever read. I just saw the music video you guys did today, shared it before it even ended on my facebook. Hope you guys are cool with that, but I just made the assumption based on the fact that you guys uploaded these yourselves. I haven't been this excited for a newer band in a very long time, everything I have heard so far is really incredible. I'm going to order a disk and I hope you can tour the US eventually. I wish you guys unlimited success and I hope you make music forever.
