Alright now where’s my boiz in midnight clad. Oh wait there they are. Greetings malevolent brothers, how goes it on this grim night? Hydra Dominatus… Whut…
In short, and without suprise, The Alpha Legion song was not what you would initially expect. Beyond their surface level nonsense The Alpha Legion's schemes (when not self-sabatoged) often turn up results that project so catastrophically that when they finally happen, it ends badly for everyone not directly benefitting from it. The song starts subtle, ramps up out of nowhere in its build-up, then never looks back as the vocals both dominate the other elements, and confuse if you aren't paying attention.
Hypothetically speaking, had i listened to the song, which i do not confirm or deny - i could be theorized to give out some form of comment on my thoughts about it in a way which made my opinion appear positive - which is not to say that i did or would ever do so, nor that these words were even truly written by me in the first place. -Alpharius (possibly)
Oh man the opening solo is magical, and then the drums come in, like sustained bolter fire, methodical like, very fitting for the Alpha legion, the vocals just complete it, I really the Puppet master the beholder part. You really captured the spirit and feeling of the alpha legion, which is hard to do even in text or art, let alone song, major props!
This song fucking slaps -Alpharius, probably. But reading your comment got me thinking to the Alpharius novel and how the forst two sentences said "I am Alpharius. That is a lie."
That novel and especially that line was a big influence for this track. The idea of saying something and then following it up with a contradiction or double meaning.
I can see why. I wrote down some lyrics like "I am Alpharius, I am not Alpharius" and quickly gave up. It was only letting the idea stew for a long time that I was able to come back and properly attempt it.
Sir Lorcan Ward Sir 🫡, status report! I got le Old Man Reacts to react to three of your bits (hell yeah) and he liked all three of em. Two were on streams and one ended up as its own video, but he still liked all three. Y e e e s
This just popped in as a recommend after listening to another Gloryhammer song. This is great. Not that much of a warhammer nerd and defo not alpha legion. But this song? It just works.
AAAAAA I'm not crazy, I knew you were updating the thumbnails. Though I thought I was when I woke up and saw the thumbnail for Heretek looked different lol
Howdy! I recently discovered your channel, and since I have I've been unable to stop listening to this and "The Blood Must Flow", your World Eaters song. Both are absolutely incredible and I think represent their factions better than most anything else. I was wondering if you had plans to do a Black Templar one any time in the near future? They're another one of my favorite factions and I think if you made a song for them it'd be utterly incredible.
@@omdemocracy4409 awesome! Glad to hear you’re liking those songs. I’ve written a Black Templars song. It’s one, if not my favourite Warhammer song I’ve written. The next step is recording which can take a while.
It’s so fitting that this song lyrically plays around with double meanings. I like the Sears of Eternity line. The Alpharius and the Alpha Legion attempt to be “seers,” predicting things to come and sabotaging their enemies, thinking a step ahead and so on. To sear is also to burn something. If you go on the premise that Alpharius went traitor while also taking loyalist actions to “break” the Cabal’s prophecy, then Alpharius could be seen as trying to save the humanity by joining in burning the Imperium down. It works with the rising from the ashes imagery in the lyrics. It’s full of double meanings and contradictions. Very Alpha Legion.
It’s so awesome to read comments like this. I was wondering if people would dive into my lyrics, especially this song. You’re spot on with the seers part. The follow up line “the crux in the path of divinity” also ties in with it, are they talking about the Emperor turning into a God or Horus and the powers of chaos. Either works as they are visualising and insuring humanity’s future.
I love Unbreakable, I love Heretek, I love Citadel but this may very well be my new favorite song. And I'm not even that big of an Alpha Legion guy. :D Sorry Rogal. :P
I chanted short Latin mantras made from a few words on Space Marine 2. My battle brothers thought I was speaking Chaos Heresy, but I convinced them it was secret God Emperor prayers. They believed me no one suspects me, mission accomplished, Hydra Dominatus!
Epic song as all your 40K songs! I don’t even overstate when I say you are my current favorite song channel! It’s amazing how you can pump out so many great quality songs in such little time!! Ig you’re gonna cover all legions (which is epic) Another idea would be a song about the unification wars (just an idea, but might be epic too)
@@athingwhichexists I just wish there was more Warhammer songs that weren’t AI. The platform is being flooded with 20-30 a day now. Thanks for listening!
For the first ten seconds, I thought the song was just going to be complete silence the whole way through, because you can't say and the Alpha Legion are keeping the song secret.
That's the plan! Maybe even multiple songs for each legion since there's a lot to work with. My Salamanders song will be very different to what I've released so far.
Now then before you read this comment take into account that all i am saying is a lie. I am Alpharius this is a lie. And i appreciated this music and will probably share it.. or did I not already did it. I am Omegon this is a lie.
Slow it down to .75, Better. Ballads are just to fast these days, Like when you play fast just to show skill. But at the cost of enjoyable well held ballad riffs.

@@LorcanWard Good, Ave Dominus Nox! The slaves of the corpse emperor won’t know what hit them.
@@Prophetofthe8thLegion Well, if it's the Night Lord's, the slaves of the Imperium will definitly know who skinned them.
I read your description and its very alpha legion of you to pretend you cant write an alpha legion song when you were alpharius this entire time.
Not for the Corpse upon the throne
Not for the cruel gods in the the warp
But for Man do we conspire and die.
Why do we do it all? To be honest we forgot a long time ago.

"Do you have one primarch?"
"Yes and no."
So the Emperor created 20 Primarchs, well 21 but we only talk about the 18 but there are actually 19. So these 19, I mean 18 primarchs…
@@LorcanWardDon’t forget the prototype Angel so… 22?
"Yesn't"

We are all Alpharius.
We are Alpha Legion, and we are all one.

'You ask me to reveal myself? Brother, I have never once masked my actions.'
'I am Alpharius, and my name is all you will remember.'
@@krel7160not ALL but most yes
No I am Alpharius!
Alpharius was always more Malcador's son than the Emperor's.
Damn this song is badass. When you shout “let the hydra riiiiise” I get chills
Thanks! Berzan knocked it out of Pluto with his vocals. I had the same feeling when I heard his tracks for the first time.
I can’t believe you got Alpharius himself to sing this!
Im alpharius and i confirm i sang this
-alpharius(probably)
Alpharius on the drums too
I could have sworn that was Alpharius on the drums!🤯
Not for gods, not for warlords, for the primarchs and the Harrow.

ok calm your boots alpha legionnaire

Thanks man! It was a lot of work compared to the other legion songs so glad to hear it paid off.
This is straight up Iron Maiden vibes and I’m all for it.
Well done!
Thanks! Huge Iron Maiden fan here.
I am Alpharius.
No I’m alpharius
You ametures, IM Alpharius!
And this is a lie
I, Alpharius, confirm that these fine gentlemen are all telling the truth
No I am Alpharius
Finally a song that does the Alpha Legion justice, can't wait to see what you've got up your sleeve next.
Thanks! It was a tough song to write but glad to hear it's hit home.
Alpha Legion are one of my favorites. I'm overjoyed to hear one of the very few songs that fits them!
Glad to hear it! It was a tough song to write but good to know it's hit home.

Hydra dominatus with hmkids.

Y e e e s
That’s awesome! I’ll check out that video now.
Absolutely everyone and everything is Alpharius. Except Alpharius. He’s the only real Alpharius. HYDRA DOMINATUS
This just popped in as a recommend after listening to another Gloryhammer song. This is great.
Not that much of a warhammer nerd and defo not alpha legion. But this song? It just works.
Thanks! Glad to hear it's showing up as a recommendation to a band like Gloryhammer. I love those guys.
AAAAAA I'm not crazy, I knew you were updating the thumbnails. Though I thought I was when I woke up and saw the thumbnail for Heretek looked different lol
Ha I was wondering who would be the first to notice. Just tidying up all my videos so they are more uniform and recognisable.

A shame you can’t leave a 5* review for this, cuz this guys knows how to cook and serve you the best only. Who I am? Why Alpharius if course.
Back in the early days of RUclips they had a star system before changing to the thumbs up or down.
I am a 5 star man! - Alpharius Reynolds
Probably your best work. Really sells the true nature of the leigion

Holy Emperor this is good!

The only good alpha legion song on RUclips
Jesus...
Perfect Lyrics. Perfect Song for the Alpha Legion.
Well done! This definitely captured the Alpha Legion feeling.
We are living in the age of Alpharius ,age of ALPHARIUS!!
Okay. The cover goes hard dude. I love it ❤
Hydra Dominatus!
This track makes the hairs on my arms rise up and scream "I'm Alpharius!"
Great song man. Keep making 40k songs
Thanks! Lots more to come
Smashed another one out of the park 😮😮😮❤❤❤❤ wow
Really fucking good! Honestly my new fav 🍻
Cheers! Glad to hear 🍻
Mr. Ward thak you for Warhhammer Metal, this is everything that one metalhead and warhammer fan could ask for...keep up the good and noble work \m/
Thanks!! Glad to hear it’s hitting home
We are Legion. I am everywhere!

Nice!! This is one of my favourite songs too
I approve.
-Alpharius
That was a lie- Alpharius
Awesome! Can't wait to see who's next!
Thanks! Lots more to come. I’m enjoying it being a surprise so I try not to say what’s coming next

Thanks!! I never thought about the unification wars but there’s a lot to work with, especially with the thunder warriors
man, I wish there was more alpha legion songs (that are not AI), thanks for the great tune
@@athingwhichexists I just wish there was more Warhammer songs that weren’t AI. The platform is being flooded with 20-30 a day now. Thanks for listening!

You the hydra awaits
Amazing

We all are alpharius and yo are alpharius, we cannot say it
HYDRA DOMINATUS!
Hydra Dominatus
Hydra Dominatus!!!
are you planning to do a song for every legion? cuz if so im looking forward to the salamanders
That's the plan! Maybe even multiple songs for each legion since there's a lot to work with. My Salamanders song will be very different to what I've released so far.
@@LorcanWard sweet, looking forward to it man. You and yours do a great job.
Love it!
Thanks!
As Alpharius, I approve this song.
When we getting a world eater song brother?
The blood will flow soon
Fucking Awesome
🤘🏻
Will all this culminate in a full album or are you just going to churn out hit after hit after hit...
Aiming for an album when I have enough songs. The current plan is just lots of singles.
Day 7 of asking for custodies song
Best Traitor legion. Allegedly.
Perhaps I listened to this track. Perhaps I even enjoyed it. Who can really say?
I Alpharius approve this song.
No one expects the Alpha Legion
Now then before you read this comment take into account that all i am saying is a lie.

Slow it down to .75, Better. Ballads are just to fast these days, Like when you play fast just to show skill. But at the cost of enjoyable well held ballad riffs.
