"As The Kingdom Burns" is the 2nd single from my upcoming melodeath album, "Exilium" (releasing in full on October 11th!). It was an absolute pleasure to collaborate with Brittney Slayes of "Unleash The Archers" and Dave Haley of "Psycroptic" on this track, and it was fun to push the boundaries of different genres coming together, from the melodic death metal vibes I would write for "Mors Principium Est", old school thrash metal, to Brittney's incredible power metal influence. This album is super varied because why not have a bit of fun with it and throw everything into the mix?

Lyrics:
Death reigns high
Burning the kingdom, its children cry
Black, the sky
Shadows descend as the city dies
Watching them burn
The king sits there laughing upon his throne of flames
Knight of the realm
Watches from exile, the sick man’s game
Falling to chaos, their homes become graves
Sealed in the fate of his will
Crushing the people who served him as slaves
On roads they have built, their blood spills
Death reigns high
Burning the kingdom, its children cry
Black, the sky
Shadows descend as the city dies
Tears run cold
Freezing the embers of hope they hold
His truth untold
An unrivalled betrayal to behold
Aflame
The city falls to ruin
A shadow of the realm it used to be
Enslaved
Under the wrath of a new king
A city we once knew, but all is lost
And now...
Your throne will sit upon the ashes
Of those who died to make you king
Your spiteful plague upon the masses
Under your reign the kingdom drowns in flames
Dismissing those who served you with their lives
Undoing all they bestowed upon you
Remove your mask and unveil death’s disguise
And in the black of night, call forth their end to begin
Death reigns high
Burning the kingdom, its children cry
Black, the sky
Shadows descend as the city dies
(And now) Your throne will sit upon the ashes
Of those who died to make you king
Your spiteful plague upon the masses
Under your reign the kingdom drowns in flames

Me too Clicked!! 🤗😂
Brittney and UTA rules!! 😍👍🤘🔥
Simple indeed, you can't even make a comment of your own.
@@jor-el1298Who r u talking to??
From the melodic influence that I loved in Mors, to the flawless vocals from both you and Brittney and the phenomenal drumming from Dave - Exilium is surely AOTY 2024!
I want more please. Brittney elevated this song so much. Her vocals with Andy's guitars, man I want full album of this!!!
It was a dream collab. Hopefully there's more where that came from in the near future
@@andygillion It would be super cool. Anyway I'm just a fan of your work as well as a big Unleash the Archers fan. This was unexpected and I'm glad it exists. Thanks for the years of sick riffs and infectious melodies Andy.
@@ValaarionIt really is my pleasure, cheers!
Энди, это просто шедевр! Мне нравится эта девочка - Бритни, как классно, что вы спели дуэтом! Какая же красота!!! Спасибо!

Damn, thanks so much!
Yaaass!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Wow just wow ❤
Instantly was blown away!!!! This rocks.
Ah cheers Chris!

OK! So, playing the guitar, piano/keyboard and composing and producing your own albums wasn't enough, now you do vocals as well! You are a bloody legend mate! Cheers!
I know, I'm so greedy but it's so much fun 😅

Thanks for supporting the project! 🙌
What a banger! those Vox were amazing. Brittney and Andy. Not to mention the drums \m/ 666 would listen again
You're a legend matey, cheers!
I'm glad Andy did something like this pretty fucking awesome a lot of these instrumentalists get boring and start sounding the same like this cyber metal stuff but this is actually great song writing
OH HELL YES!!!!!!! BRITTNEY ROCKS!!!! UNLEASH THE ARCHERS IS AMAZING GO LISTEN TO THEM!
💙
Andy, I didn't know you sing :) This is so good. And I'm a huge fan of Brittany Slayes and Unleash The Archers. Such a nice combo. Big Mors fan too \m/
Thanks so much! I appreciate it 🙏
🔥
Oooh, power metal vibes in this album as well?! Makes sense with the medieval/knight theme, actually ⚔⚔🤘🏹🏹🛡🛡
This is fantastic, the song, the guitarwork, the performances, the mix - excellent. Also your voices really compliment each other, amazing.
I wouldn't call it Melodeath though, it's straight up Power Metal that just doesn't suck
Hahaha, a great analysis! 😅 You've reminded me of my old "Smurf Goes Pop" album I had as a kid
This is fantastic, I can't wait for the whole album!!!!!
Thanks for checking it out! Can't wait for you to hear it!
Banger.
Andy in this song, I could feel your serious work on the vocals. Brilliant. Hope to see you perform live one day.
Thank you! 🙏
EPIC!!! I am amazed by your determination Andy!
Absolutely love that you were able to do a song with Brittney - you and UtA are 100% my favourite artists so I'm very excited!
Oh hell yes, but why'd you have to make us wait 3 days though 😭
I'm sorry! It'll be worth it
Become a patreon member and you don't have to wait 😅
Yes it was ❤❤❤❤❤ @@andygillion
Fucking brilliant!!! Keep em coming pliz!!! Gracias por la música!!!
Verse guitar riffs is good 👍
Power full solo... Less but more 🤘
Positive vibes love it❤
I got goosebumps at 1:38, very well done!
Phenomenal!! I already knew this track was going to be 🔥, although I wasn't expecting the "power metal" vocal from you, too. Both (you and Brittney) are just immensely talented. Absolutely crushed this! 🤘
Thank you! 🙏
I'm a massive Mors Principium Est fan and I only just found out the man behind their best albums is from up the road from where I grew up (Morley) 😂 keeping metal alive in W Yorks 🤘🤘🤘
At least, according to Metal Archives he is..
Wow! I used to have swimming lessons in Morley as a kid haha! I grew up in Drighlington. Small world :)
@@andygillion it certainly is. I'm glad it's true as I was starting to doubt it last night when I couldn't find an actual source haha. Love your music mate!
I've never heard of any of the three of you by name, but youtube suggested and I gave it a shot at 1,200 views.
This shit SLAYS. I'm about 12 plays deep and can't get enough!
Grateful you joined the party, great to have you here and thanks for checking it out! 🙏
This is epic beyond belief! 🙌🤘 I didn't know you didn't vocals and when the heavies came in, I was blown away. 🤘 amazing
Thank you!
WOW! What a chorus! So excited for the full album, both singles have been bangers so far!
Cheers! Lots more to come with the album too!
I said this already when I heard your first single and I'll say it again: you're killing it with the vocals!
Thanks so much! Put a lot of time into getting them right so it means a lot 🤘
Incredible efforts from all, going straight in my favorite spotify playlist!
Legend, cheers mate!
OMG after exilium, this one !! sooooooooooooo cool dude !!!
Wow, that was great!!!

Thanks so much Eric! I appreciate it 🙏 Currently I only have digital tabs for this song and "Prophecy" from this album in the store. It's a mission to get every layer of every song tabbed out with my current schedule juggling all the things that go into an independent album release! Wish I had more Andy's to help!
great performance 🤟
