☠ The Neverending Tour: Saints Until the Encore | Death to the False Emperor | Warhammer 40K

☠ THE NEVERENDING TOUR: SAINTS UNTIL THE ENCORE ☠ DEATH TO THE FALSE EMPEROR — ALBUM VII “You kept the weapons. Changed the names. Let’s meet your gods.” A world has spent generations worshipping eleven musicians as benevolent saints. When the Last Encore finally arrives, its people welcome the figures from their sacred portraits. Star-Head enjoys the devotion. Steel Serpent invites indulgence. Azazel offers comfort. By the encore, the audience understands what it has worshipped—and most are already begging for more. Those who refuse become the congregation’s final offering. Warhammer 40,000-inspired Chaos Space Marine death metal fused with metallic hardcore: crushing riffs, violent breakdowns, otherworldly alien synths and a ceremonial melody that becomes something monstrous. ⚔ THE BAND ⚔ ★ Star-Head the Destroyer — Frontman and lead vocals. ✦ Azazel the Fourfold Fallen — Guitar and fourfold angelic vocals. 🐍 Steel Serpent — Glam-metal guitar and 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 📜 Look at those fucking portraits. Eleven saints. You kept the weapons. Changed the names. Let's meet your gods. You gilded frames your fathers made. You kept our songs when records frayed. You built a road to meet our ship. Laid flowers where the landing struts sit. The Last Encore has crossed your sky. You weep to see the saints arrive. I see the feast. I see the stage. LET'S HEAR THE WORDS YOU KEPT ALIVE! THE NEVERENDING TOUR! OPEN EVERY FUCKING DOOR! YOU KEPT THE LIGHT THROUGH ALL THOSE YEARS— NOW SHOW ME WHAT YOU SAVED IT FOR! SAINTS UNTIL THE ENCORE! RAISE THOSE GOLDEN FRAMES! YOU CAME TO HEAR YOUR SAVIOURS— YOU'LL LEAVE HERE BEARING OUR NAMES! You dressed my likeness up in gold. How many hands have kept it whole? Come, darling, let the picture fall. You've got the original before you. Unclasp the jewels you saved for prayer. Tonight, wear everything you never dared. One cup becomes another vow. The oldest hymn sounds different now. A preacher tries to still your hands— YOU DROWN HIM OUT BEFORE I ASK! You've held this vigil far too long. Let tired hands release the flame. There is no shame in wanting more. You needn't hide it with us here. Give me the fear beneath your praise. I'll leave you wanting us to stay. You waited for a gentle hand. You taught your children where we'd stand. You painted every weapon true. Now let me read those names to you. You named us saints. We let you. Now look properly. THE CREATOR! LOOK WHAT I MADE! YOU KNEEL TO THE DESTROYER— AND CALL YOURSELVES SAVED! THE FOURFOLD ASCENDANT! FOUR VOICES SAY STAY! HE TAKES ALL YOUR SORROW— THEN TAKES YOU AWAY! THE PRESERVER! HE KEEPS THE BEAT ALIVE! THOSE SKULLS IN HIS HANDS— DID THEIR OWNERS SURVIVE? THE GENTLE SHEPHERD! YOU FOLLOW HIS SONG! HE LEADS YOU TO SLAUGHTER— YOU STILL SING ALONG! VOICE OF SANCTITY! HE MAKES YOUR PRIEST SPEAK! HE CUT OUT THE WARNING— NOW THE SERMON PRAISES ME! PEACE INCARNATE! LOOK AT THOSE CLAWS! HE MAKES YOUR STREETS SILENT— THEN WAITS FOR APPLAUSE! THE HEARTHKEEPER! YOU GATHERED BY HIS FIRE! HE'S RUNNING OUT OF FUEL— COME A LITTLE CLOSER! HARBINGER OF HARMONY! YOU LEARNED EVERY NOTE! NOW SOMETHING SINGS BACK— FROM DEEP IN YOUR THROATS! THE LIFTING TIDE! YOU THOUGHT YOU WOULD RISE! HIS TENTACLE TIGHTENS— WAVE THE SURFACE GOODBYE! THE HUMBLE HYMN! ASK WHO WROTE THAT RIFF! HE WANTS YOUR WHOLE WORLD— TO BOW DOWN TO IT! THE SANCTUARY OF LIFE! YOU SHELTERED BY HIS GUNS! NOW THE SPEAKERS OPEN— LET'S SEE WHO RUNS! YOU PAINTED THE GUNS! YOU COUNTED THE TEETH! YOU MADE US YOUR SAINTS— NOW LOOK UNDERNEATH! FOR SLAANESH! LET THE GOLD RUN RED! THEY'RE STILL FUCKING CHEERING— THEY HEARD WHAT I SAID! BUT THERE! THE ONES STILL BACKING TOWARD THE GATE! TURN THEM ROUND! DON'T LET THEM LEAVE! THEY WANT YOUR SAINTS TO DISAPPEAR! SHOW THEM WHAT YOU WORSHIP HERE! CONGREGATION—TAKE THEM DOWN! KEEP THOSE FUCKING PORTRAITS HIGH! THE NEVERENDING TOUR! OPEN EVERY FUCKING DOOR! YOUR NEIGHBOURS FALL BENEATH OUR SONG— YOU'RE STILL BEGGING US FOR MORE! SAINTS UNTIL THE ENCORE! KEEP THE FIRE AT THE SHRINE!
