Black Orchid Empire release new song ‘Glory To The King’

BLACK ORCHID EMPIRE have released a brand new song!

The new song, titled Glory To The King, is taken from the UK progressive trio’s upcoming new album, Tempus Veritas, which is scheduled to be released in April this year.

Speaking about the new song, guitarist/vocalist Paul Visser says, “we’re super proud of this song – it’s one of the biggest choruses on Tempus Veritas. The middle section also has some of our favourite vocal harmonic moments, with a crazy riff hitting straight after. The lyrical narrative explores the relationship between an early Meso-American emperor Montezuma and the explorer and conquistador Hernán Cortés. The story, told from the point of view of Montezuma, imagines that the new arrival was initially seen as a god – assumed to be the deity Quetzalcoatl. When Cortes cuts himself and is seen bleeding, the mirage is shattered and the Aztec ruler goes to war with the people he now realises are merely men.”

Tempus Veritas is set for release on April 14th via Season Of Mist. Pre-orders are available now and can be purchased here.
