The Great Hanging (feat. Shanon Davern & Rogers Rocha)

by Aeons Abyss

/

about

The Great Hanging is a new stand-alone conceptual single by Aeons Abyss, which also features the vocal talents of Shanon Davern of Eternal Rest from Brisbane, Australia who have toured with bands like Entombed and Rings Of Saturn. Rogers Rocha Deep Hatred (formerly of Savagez), a tech death band from Brazil contributes his shredding skills for guitar solo.

Steve from Aeons Abyss says, "This song is an international collaboration. Lyrics were inspired by the Brisbane underground metal website Noob Heavy (spot the reference in the artwork). The chorus was inspired by one of our fans from Russia, from the proverb, "Little thieves are hanged, the great ones escape".

Roger Rocha says about the single, "The Great Hanging is such a powerful song. It instantly got me hyped and in the mood to jam along. I love this old school vibe, it brings me back to my roots".

Shanon from Eternal Rest: "I was super stoked that Aeons Abyss asked me to be a part of this track. Really cool guys and a pleasure to work with during the process. The track is just pure head banging riffage, which is something I am personally a big fan of and made it super easy for me to jump onboard and really get into it. I was also super stoked for the experience to share a guest spot on the track with Rogers Rocha of SavageZ from Brazil with his killer guitar solo too."

Aeons Abyss is a Death Thrash Metal band based in Melbourne, Australia. The stand-alone single The Great Hanging (2020) is their first collaboration.

lyrics

The Great Hanging

Why perpetuate this travesty?
Drink the poison of truth
Bound on chains of poverty
Seduced by frivolous goods
Like a witless colony of ants
Swallow the lies we sell
Beguiled lives lived in a trance
Welcome to your hell

Uprise the masses
Depose the ruling few
Little thieves are hanged, the great ones escape
No More!
The great ones escape
No More!

Listless lives of drudgery
Imperious will holds sway
Exposed and reduced by technology
Little more than slaves
Our seething horde envelops you
Retribution on its way?
No more blind to crimes we view
With our life we’ll pay

Uprise the masses
Usurp the corrupting few
Little thieves are hanged, the great ones escape
No More!
The great ones escape
No More!

Sober rage enkindled
Aroused on bitter truth
So rise and awake
Rise and awake

Uprise the masses
Slaughter the greedy few
Little thieves are hanged, the great ones escape
No More!
The great ones escape
No More!

Are you awakened?
Succumb to lassitude
We are incensed
Break the shackles, end the lies
