🐍 Kiss the Mask, Feed the Thirst — Death to the False Emperor | Warhammer 40K Glam Death Metal

🐍 KISS THE MASK, FEED THE THIRST 🐍 DEATH TO THE FALSE EMPEROR Album VII — The Neverending Tour: Saints Until the Encore “You brought a heart. I brought a song.” Steel Serpent takes the lead in a cruel celebration of adoration, obsession and the emptiness after the lights go out. Followers mistake a glance from the stage for a personal connection. Serpent enjoys their devotion, feeds their expectations and keeps them reaching for something he will never give. Beneath his immaculate Sanguinary mask, the Red Thirst remains an indulgence—and the Black Rage still knows his name. Deep, raspy male glam-metal vocals and extravagant guitar solos meet crushing Chaos Space Marine death metal, doom-fuzz bass, industrial guitars and otherworldly alien synths. Warhammer 40,000-inspired music exploring a fallen Blood Angel’s vanity, Slaaneshi corruption and hunger for applause. ⚔ THE BAND ⚔ ★ Star-Head the Destroyer — Frontman and principal lead vocalist. 🐍 Steel Serpent — Glam-metal guitar and vocals; lead vocalist on this track. ✦ Azazel the Fourfold Fallen — Guitar and fourfold angelic vocals. 📡 Voxgrave, Voice of Desecration — Glitch guitar, sampling and robotic baritone. ⚡ Razorfang, Riot Incarnate — Riot-punk and hardcore guitar. ⚙ Geargrinder, Hellburner — Industrial chainsword guitar. 🌑 Noctis, Harbinger of Dissonance — Keytar, alien synths and electronics. 🌊 Grave Sludge, the Undertow — Doom, sludge and fuzz bass. 🥁 Blastbeat the Annihilator — Four-armed drummer. 🔥 Vain, the First Riff — Old-school heavy-metal guitar. 🔊 Deathstack — Four-legged Dreadnought, walking stage and sonic assault. 📜 LYRICS 📜 All those beautiful faces. All those promises. Darling— You haven't heard the last song yet. Faces make me drink. Voices make me stay. Hands beneath the barricade Reach for something I won't give away. You watched the light move through my mask. I watched you practise what you'd ask. One glance across a crowded floor— You're certain that I meant you more. Eye contact. Interpretation pending. You brought a heart. I brought a song. You swear you've known me all along. I hear the words you shout at me— HOW MUCH OF THAT IS WHAT YOU NEED? DON'T CALL IT LOVE! YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE ASKING FOR! DON'T CALL IT LOVE! YOU'VE NEVER BEEN BEHIND THAT DOOR! YOU LOVE THE LIGHT! YOU LOVE THE NAME! YOU LOVE THE WAY I HOLD THE STAGE! DON'T CALL IT LOVE— THEN BEG ME FOR ANOTHER SONG! You wear our colours through the rain. A little hurt becomes a claim. You kept your place. You missed your ship. You tell yourself devotion's worth it. I've heard the vows from every rail. The same demand in different veils. You want a word you'll call your own. I'll let a final note hang long. You leave convinced you heard your name. Next world, another face does the same. The Dark Prince smiles beneath the sound. You keep returning. We keep counting. You say our music saved your life. You want us there for every night. I take my place beneath the lights— YOU CALL THAT PROOF I'M ON YOUR SIDE! DON'T CALL IT LOVE! YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE ASKING FOR! DON'T CALL IT LOVE! YOU'VE NEVER BEEN BEHIND THAT DOOR! YOU LOVE THE LIGHT! YOU LOVE THE NAME! YOU LOVE THE WAY I HOLD THE STAGE! DON'T CALL IT LOVE— THEN BEG ME FOR ANOTHER SONG! When all those borrowed lights go out, I hear an older battle start. A father's shadow fills the room. Your cheering never reaches that far. I dressed the hunger up in gold. I taught the Red Thirst how to smile. The Black Rage knows me through the mask. It lets me have a little while. You think your wanting makes me whole? I need a louder room tomorrow. You think you know what emptiness means? COME HEAR WHAT WAITS WHEN THE LAST NOTE LEAVES! No, darling. That wasn't a confession for you. Keep your hands off the stage. RAISE YOUR HANDS! SAY THE NAME! MAKE YOUR HUNGER LOUD AGAIN! ONE MORE NIGHT! ONE MORE VOW! SLAANESH CAN HEAR YOU WANTING NOW! Attachment. Amplified. DON'T CALL IT LOVE! YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE ASKING FOR! DON'T CALL IT LOVE! YOU'RE STILL REACHING FOR THE DOOR! YOU LOVE THE LIGHT! YOU LOVE THE NAME! YOU LOVE THE WAY I HOLD THE STAGE! DON'T CALL IT LOVE— I KNOW YOU'LL ASK FOR ONE MORE SONG! You tell me that you love me. I hear it every night. Same time tomorrow, darling? #Warhammer40k #DeathMetal #GlamMetal #BloodAngels #Slaanesh #ChaosSpaceMarines #DeathToTheFalseEmperor
