@@ForTheWarmasterHorusI saw a thread on Reddit heavily criticising all the AI Warhammer content being made. On the downside my views/engagement has dropped on KZbin with the surge of AI content. On the bright side my name and music was brought up a lot for people to check out in that thread. Blood Angels song is nearly recorded. It’s one of my most ambitious songs.

"The Wolves will always come to heel when called. In that regard, it is a mystery why they name themselves wolves. They are tame, collared by the Emperor, obeying his every whim. But a wolf doesn’t behave that way. Only a dog does. That is why we are the Eaters of Worlds, and the War Hounds no longer."

The irony with the world eaters is not just that they only traded one master for another, but that they embraced its leash.

[@Briggattonii]

“We are not the hounds the corpse lord hath made” Nice reference to the pre-Angron 12th Legion!

[@LorcanWard]

I was wondering who would be the first to comment on that. I like to include in a pre-primarch reference when I can. If anyone is wondering what the others are: "Men of Iron who tread the storm" Storm Walkers - Iron Hands "Unbroken, The blades of dusk" Dusk Raiders - Death Guard "Firstborn" The First - Dark Angels

[@PhantomHacksaw]

I must have listened to the song 88 times by now. By far the best World Eater song I have heard in all my years. Nothing else has come as close to perfection as this sounds. Please make an album with this sound and style. I would buy that.

[@retematic2351]

@@PhantomHacksaw soon little one, soon enough. 109 holds significance in a second context.

[@shadowstep1375]

I won't lie, for a moment I thought it was going to be almost 4 minutes of "Blood for the blood god!" Though only now am I realizing there's 8 of them, Khorne would be mildly less angry at this song. Never happy is the lord of skulls.

[@LorcanWard]

What’s funny is that is exactly how the song started. I thought how a song about Khorne would just be Legionnaires shouting “Blood for the Blood God” until Kharn got pissed and lectured them about words not appeasing Khorne before charging into battle.

[@deityINSTINCT]

@@LorcanWard I havent fully digested all of your songs yet. but would you do one for Garviel Loken? (if you havent already)

@@deityINSTINCT No yet, I still have to do a Lunar Wolves/Sons of Horus song. Originally my Alpha Legion song "I Cannot Say" started as a lodge song with some references to Loken.

[@harmonlanager2670]

I’ll be honest, I was worried cause a lot of 40k fan songs aren’t great But this slaps. Truly blessed by Khorne. BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!

[@LorcanWard]

@@harmonlanager2670 thanks!

[@sirreaper3067]

The heavy and brutal riffs, the bloodcurdling vocals, truly an all encompassing song when it comes to Khorne. I saw the beautiful interpratations that Lorcan has made, as always an artist who envisions the song as a painting and a theatrical play, not just music! Yet, I wish to add once again my own visual: The exalted path of the berzerker, who may have began as a simple marine, who refuses to succumb to his wounds under a corpse emperor, so he took the bribe of a different master - Khorne, the blood god. The song narrates his ascension through battles and campaigns, from empty promises and a sacrament of what must be done, to the ever repeating cry of his task, "pile their skulls to mountainous heights", and the final epitomy of his deeds, his magnum opus, as he goes from a vain follower, to the chosen speaking the sacrament himself. And now for a lighter addition to the above: The first time listening was "Oh, this is good!", the 888th is headbanging and yelling "PILE THEIR SKULLS TO MOUNTAINOUS HEIGHTS!"

[@LorcanWard]

I really like your own visual. It's a really good interpretation of the lyrics and story. Interesting to hear my own song from a new perspective now.

[@Immortal-q2l]

3:12 unbelievably good

[@sonofangron2969]

‘Our brothers fell to such pitiful lies, Deluded dreams of decay and pride, We were made for just one thing. Sons of Slaughter: Kill Everything!” Perfectly encapsulates Kharn’s philosophy surrounding why the Emperor created the Astartes and what they were made for: a weapon that would not tire, would not balk at any massacre or casualties, and would never, *ever* stop. The deadliness of the Astartes isn’t due to their technology, their equipment, or even their training or strategy, but simply due to the fact that they can endure and keep fighting longer than anything else. That’s why entire worlds full of trillions of people armed with technological wonders and peerless discipline fall to a few thousand blood-crazed savages…

[@LorcanWard]

Great to see this lyric passage hit home. He takes a jibe at the Death Guard and Emperor's Children but the final two lines are addressed to every Astartes Legion.

[@tyjytjafdf689]

Also HOOT is a huge pick for the outro.

[@LorcanWard]

One of my personal favs with how it suddenly slows down from the verse but the heavy guitars make sure it has a punch. Some influence from the Bloodquest comic and a reference to their old legion pre-Angron too.

[@tyjytjafdf689]

@@LorcanWard Exactly! the first thing it brought to mind was a song called "Sinä et ole yhtään mitään" from Sotajumala. Was honestly kind of lukewarm to the song until the first pile the skulls to mountainous heights hit, but this is definitely right up there with Sojourn and Heretek for me now.

[@LorcanWard]

Ha I can hear that now, It's unintentional but it's because of the similar descending chord progression and rhythm of the lyrics. Good ear.

[@Kayledon777]

Idk what to call it, the way the guitars (? Bass? Idk) sound during the "pile the skulls to mountainous heights" is where it's at. Some impending doom type shit right there. Now im curious what chaos knights will sound like 😈

[@LorcanWard]

It doesn't really have a name, you could classify it as groove/thrash metal but it's more of a compositional technique with the vocals following the music and the accompaniment having staccato notes. A Chaos Knight song? I'll have to think about that.

I'm immensely impressed. You've fit the description of Khorne's embodiment to a tea perfectly. this song also is awesome, Although I guess Khorne being the easiest Chaos God to make a tribute song because everyone knows what he is about would be and his demons and legion that unconditionally obeys without any contradiction would be something that any KZbinr with similar calibre can do. But still you beat them to the punch

[@LorcanWard]

Originally I wasn’t going to make a song since as you said Khorne is one of the easier ones, that’s when I got the idea to have Kharn interrupt and sing his song. Fun to channel the World Eater’s energy and their many battle cries.
