1.	Shatterer of Worlds 04:56	lyrics	buy track
If the radiance of a thousand suns Were to burst at once into the sky That would be like the splendor of the Mighty One The terrible glow of this earthly star And I, I am become death The Destroyer of Worlds And I am the Shatterer of Worlds I knew, the world would not be the same Full of cruel and bitter days Few people laughed, few people cried Most of us fell dead silent Unleash hellfire Burn even the shadows to dust Devour all that is Perish in a single flash of light And I, I am become death The Destroyer of Worlds And I am the Shatterer of Worlds
2.	With Existence Comes Suffering 04:05	lyrics	buy track
Who falls into the fire Shall burn with heat While those remote Scorn from it to retreat Yea, while those in it Cry out, O! I burn Some farther off Those cries to laughter turn With existence comes suffering Darkness consumes the soul While some live through hell For the color of their skin Others greatly feel Delight therein Yea, while some make it Echo with their cry Others count it A fable and a lie With existence comes suffering Darkness consumes the soul With existence comes suffering Darkness consumes the soul Your existence brings suffering Too much darkness in your soul
3.	Neon Gods 04:45	lyrics	buy track
Planting the seeds of hate Deny, defy and lie Exploiting deepest fears Phantom threats are all you see At the altar of indifference To the Neon Gods you pray A propaganda echo chamber This death cult you obey With us or against us Bow down and believe Immerse yourself completely In this alternate reality Evoke the golden glories Of a distant mythic past White supremacy’s always lurking To be emboldened again At the altar of indifference To the Neon Gods you pray A propaganda echo chamber This death cult you obey We’re all humans We’re all humans We’re all humans No Neon Gods We’re all humans We’re all humans We’re all humans No Neon Gods
4.	All is Bleak 07:07	lyrics	buy track
Darkest sky, starless night A shroud that bears only pain A barren, deadly desert For the wanderer through life The roads I walk Have demons beneath Hope is lost forever All is bleak Into cold ashes Of long lost dreams The darkness swallows me The more I feed it The roads I walk Have demons beneath Hope is lost forever All is bleak The roads I’ve walked Had demons beneath Hope was lost forever All is bleak
5.	United/Divided 03:20	lyrics	buy track
Hate becomes the blood Pulsing through your veins The more your darkness is The more you feed the flames of hate United we stand Divided you’ll fall You’ll fall Hate’s a victory for despair It wants you to be weak To grow your deepest fears Ignite blind and senseless rage United we stand Divided you’ll fall You’ll fall Racist fascists Spreading fear Supremacists Destroy society United we stand Divided you’ll fall You’ll fall
6.	Twilight Falls 05:24	lyrics	buy track
As the sun grows cold The light begins to fade The east wind will take me From these mortal shores Like a flower after the frost I saw you wither away Now that you‘re gone I mourn for what has passed And what’s to come I can’t hear Empty silence I can’t see Empty light I can’t feel Empty shell Twilight falls for me Now I carry the weight Of all the forlorn dead Maybe pain will heal us For we are lost in a sea of despair
7.	Fire, Ash and Dust 04:59	lyrics	buy track
Under a shroud of smoke Dust clouds blacking out the sky Looming over the gray land Charred remains, endless death Fire, ash and dust Scorched earth, black bones As the sky turned red And the sun was no more Trapped in this fire apocalypse As hot winds consume the land Rivers stop flowing The earth is dying in the flames
8.	Realm of Silence 05:42	lyrics	buy track
I soar into the quiet space Among the stars Where everything is still In my realm of silence Loneliness surrounding me All noise of life falls silent Solitude comforts me Darkness devours the chaos Return to that dark place From which all life springs Before the birth of time And the death of non–existence Return to that bright place Where frozen light is shimmering In the twilight newborn The universe and I awake
9.	Ad Astra 11:20	lyrics	buy track
Mensus eram coelos Nunc terrae metior umbras Mens coelestis erat Corporis umbra iacet Die Himmel hab ich gemessen Jetzt mess ich die Schatten der Erde Himmelwärts strebte der Geist Des Körpers Schatten ruht hier Ad Astra Per Aspera Ad Astra From dust to the stars I measured the skies Now the shadows I measure Skybound was the mind Earthbound the body rests

about

With “AD ASTRA” BLOODRED is back again after the release of the previous record The Raven’s Shadow!

Musically, we have worked on further refining the characteristics of BLOODRED without giving up the typical sound. The album features massive Death Metal songs alongside epic hymns with more than a touch of Black, memorable melodies and complex song structures. All of this culminates in the title song, which with a playing time of over 11 minutes combines all typical BLOODRED characteristics and absolutely wants to challenge the listeners. Each song can stand for itself on the new album and yet “Ad Astra” is a consistent album that all fans of Extreme Metal should definitely keep an eye on.
