Vertigo 03:29
Philosophy of the ancients Kill or be killed By the sword your kingdom comes and By the sword you shall fall Hypocrisy of the masses The leaderless Blinded by my own ambitions Watch it as the time flows through my grasp It's the power lust And the masochistic age we're in As we burn to dust So drink from the cup The lies of the serpent's tongue Poured out for you to feast Citadel of my own making See it all go up in flames Steel and an iron will to save you Ramparts you put your faith in Brick by brick you build your tower Only now it crumbling at your feet It's the power lust And the masochistic age we're in As we burn to dust So drink from the cup (sluuuurp) The lies of the serpent's tongue Poured out for you to feast To drink of the serpent's lies Cask out to the grave

Citadel 02:57
This is my citadel See the towering walls Forged in blood Oh Light divine Now Show your face Crumble these walls and I am your Forever And evermore Forever The grave of my heart
3.
Remain 03:49
The iron curtain Across the eastern seaboard The fountain of justice No where to be found In the cold of the night We'll light no flames Tonight we sleep in fear Stay by my side The sounds of war Shatter the peaceful sky As the darkness deepens Does your faith remain? And the hour closes in The icy hands of death Crawl beside you Now is the hour For us to defend The life of what we had Before it's lost Fear no chains Scorn the grave Take only what you carry Hand in hand Onward now Through the snowy fields we go As the darkness deepens Does your faith remain? And the hour closes in The icy hands of death Crawl beside you

about

We at Veriteras are extremely proud to release our second EP, called "Citadel". We're a Seattle-based melodic death metal band that leans a bit more on the "melodic" part of melodic death metal (we're not afraid of hooks), but try to strike a balance between that and the "death" part - we're not a pop band after all.

With this second EP we've continued the experimentation we started with our first EP "Banished", released in 2020. We tested out different tones, recording techniques, and worked with different mixing engineers for each of these three songs.

We hope you enjoy "Citadel"!
