Seven Kingdoms' magnificent new album 'Decennium', is released on Friday, 5th May 2017, via Napalm Records and today, the sixth track from the album, 'Kingslayer', is premiering here on MetalTalk.

'Decennium' marks Seven Kingdoms' tenth anniversary and their spirit and motto, "A fire must burn!", are perfectly demonstrated on 'Kingslayer' so crank it up and get those fists in the air. Here it is...



The band told us:

"'Kingslayer' is a song about Jaime Lannister's betrayal of his oath, which earned him that very nickname across the Seven Kingdoms.

"The Mad King was ready to blow up all of Kings Landing with stocks of wildfire hidden under the streets, rather than face defeat to Robert's rebellion.

"Having already seen enough atrocities committed by the King, Jaime could not stand by any longer with the lives of the entire city at stake.

"He murdered the Mad King, the one his life was sworn to protect. Instead of becoming a hero, this betrayal would be how history remembered Jaime Lannister."

'Kingslayer' is the third video to be released from 'Decennium', with 'Stargazer' and Neverending' having been aired last month. Just in case you missed them, here they are again.





About 'Stagazer', the band said:

"This was one of the first songs to come together on 'Decennium'. Like many of the songs, this was originally a different concept that morphed into what it is.

"I have always been fascinated by Space and the idea that there is more out there that we do not understand. The song tackles the ideas of what lies beyond, and asks the questions that we all want to know. There was a scene in one of the more recent Star Trek movies where they were flying into a Volcano to save a primitive civilization from extinction. They accidentally got 'seen' by the tribe, and because of their lack of understanding, they essentially started drawing the shapes of the USS Enterprise in the sand as if to document history. This concept could apply to real life with Ancient Cave Paintings and the whole Ancient Alien stuff.

"To me its fascinating. Being a Sci-Fi fan, this is a thought that has always been in my head. What if we are that civilization? What if our ancestors experianced the same thing? We actually don't really know... until then we should 'question the unknown' and continue driving humanity forward, eventually into the stars..."
