The Vanishing
Ashen Horde
Their ivory tower shattered, Forced into awareness The leisure class rudely awakened No longer will they mock those That fortune ignored War gives no preference to affluence A strategy constructed to show their dominance Forsaking ferocity… or so they tell themselves Concealed within the shadows They slink across the edge Seeking those most defenseless Innocents: the prime hostages Their vile task completed, a rapid exit made They revel in their acquisitions When daylight slays the dark, The deed will be revealed And they’ll regain the upper hand Seeking negotiation, this act the cornerstone Though it may crumble quickly, And all will be brought down When morning greets the victims They find what has been filched Grim fears no longer imagined This war has now begun
4:36

Ashen Horde's third full-length album, released worldwide on cd and vinyl by Extreme Metal Music/Rockshots Records.

This album tells the story of a divided city, where the wealthy and poor live in a precarious balance. When the balance is thrown off, the two sides fall into a brutal class war that sees everyone descend into their most monstrous, primal selves.

Loosely inspired by the book “High Rise” by J.G. Ballard.
