With sadness in our hearts we must announce that Jerry is parting ways with Achyronthia.
This is his personal statement : " I'm leaving Achyronthia!
After 11 years in Achyronthia and as co-founding member of this band I've
decided to call it a day.
I wish the guys in Achyronthia all the best in
their musical and personal life.
For me, a new journey is ahead…
The foundations of Achyronthia go back to 1999. At the end of that year we finally established a complete line-up. Hailing from Ostend in Belgium, Our journey began….
A six track demo “The Fountain of Youth” was recorded in 2002, eventually two songs ended up on the “Latent Talent” compilation in 2003.
In 2005 young and fresh blood reinforced our ranks. Jokke Ponette introduced a uniquely balanced mix of screams, grunts and clean vocals into the band.
We recorded our first full-length “The Final Crossing” at Midas Studios in Lokeren, Belgium. The self-supported album, released in January 2006, yielded us several great opportunities. The band played gigs in support of Sodom (Ger), The Lucifer’s Principle (NL), After All (B), Killer (B), Spoil Engine (B) and Peter Pan Speedrock (NL).
In Autumn 2006, an important line-up change was forced upon us. Soon enough our paths crossed with a new, talented guitar player. Nicolas Brackx joined our band in July 2007. One month later, we hit the stage again with a dazzeling performance at the Velorock Festival, headlined by Sodom.
The highlight of our performance history was the trip to the legendary Wacken Open Air Festival. 31st of July 2008 Achyronthia represented Belgium on the W.E.T. stage for the Wacken Metal Battle.The festival was attended by Iron Maiden (UK), Nightwish (Fin), Gorgoroth (N), Exodus (USA), Kreator (Ger), Carcass (UK) and many, many more.
Back at the front in Belgium we concentrated on songs for the new album. As with songwriting, we wanted to raise the bar on all levels so we decided to record at CCR Studios in Zulte (Aborted, Leng Tch’e, In-Quest, Crimson Falls, Rise and Fall…). Recordings started in March 2009 and continued during the summer of 2009. The album was mixed and mastered by Kris Belaen at CCR. The artwork is provided by Seth Siro Anton (Exodus, Paradise Lost, Moonspell, Sanctity, Soilwork...)
Achyronthia delivers modern and ruthless thrash metal combined with the sheer power and melody of traditional metal.
Tell me why you are always standing there
Did you ever had the need for a loving care
Destroy the image of your frozen soul
Come clean and show the heart you stole
Tell me why the leeches have come my way
Suck the strength that’s given me another day
So you’re convinced that you've done your part
As you're leaving me for a new start
Destroy the image of you frozen soul
Bare the pain and start to crawl
And answer me : am I to blame ?
The guiding hand that's already gone
And turned your heart into the hardest stone
So answer me : am I to blame ?
I'm feeling high
I'm feeling low
Don't you think it's time for you to go
So you're convinced that you've done your part
And bit by bit you really broke my heart
So answer me : am I to blame ?
Tell me why you look at me with eyes so cold
Is it so hard to just admit your faults
Construct the beauty of a spoken lie
With the truth in mind it's our last goodbye
Tell me why I'm feeling so alone tonight
Still wandering in my mind
I steal your dreams which belong to me
Make it a scene in my memory
You're in the middle of this raging hell
It’s mandatory, there’s no escape
Enforced to fight, but expendable
You're just a pawn in this game of war
At court Martial, they will justify
You are condemned to the firing squads
A hideous death with no dignity
No parade, no trumpets heard
For desertion, disgrace is shown
For cowardice, disgrace is known
What's our verdict, disgrace at dawn
Guilty as charged, you're shot, just a pawn
Joining up the batallion of the lost
Marching through mud, fire and smoke
Fear, see the anguish in their eyes
Panic, damage to the brain
At court Martial, they will justify
You are condemned to the firing squads
A hideous death with no dignity
No parade, no trumpets heard
Leaving the ranks out of despair
Searching a haven so distant from hell
Indicted soldier, no mercy will be shown
You'll take the blame for running away
At court Martial, they will justify
You are condemned to the firing squads
A hideous death with no dignity
No parade, no trumpets heard
I lead a simple life
Crippled and betrayed by lies
But in my head ,I serve a king
I'll shower in your light
Young virgin by my side
Drink my blood and kiss my ring
I rise, you fall
Gonna make you kneel and crawl
Tell me your sins
Fill my lust with all these things
Bring to me all the children
So I can show them a good time
Come to me my condemned children
And all will sing
As winter comes
Let me hide under your wings
As winter's done
I'll be your slave for ever more
I rise, you fall
Gonna make you kneel an crawl
Don't run, don't ever hide
I'm everywhere you look behind you
My symbol is my truth
And all will sing with you
In my house
I have power
When I call for you
When I lie to you
Like sheep to the slaughter
You will sing to me
Yes, you'll sing to me
Reaching out for the sky
Seconds away from the moment to die
An evil mind's conspiracy
a dead man's philosophy
Why will they kill ? Why must we die ?
The fury is in their eyes
A world of lies, so full of lies
It is the end you have to face
Blind adoration, soul desacration, sacrifice
Forced confrontation, brave intervention, world on fire
Crying out, there's no way out
Death is calling in the infernal sky
Strength in numbers
Audacity
Courageous ones
Atrocity
Deliver us from the fear we bare
And spill the blood with the one we care
Destroy the enemy
Go down with them
Respect and glory
Won't save you from hell
Welcome on board
On the flight of the damned
Where the wicked died
And the brave ones prevail
In the darkest of the night
A boy builds a whole new world
A world far away from the light
Somewhere, where he’s safe, out of sight
In a second, in a flash it's made
Nowhere to find on any map
It makes the real world to fade away
Silver dreams are hard to get by
Follow the stairs inside your head
Deeper and deeper into your blinded mind
There are rules, it is said
Answer the password and you might be there
When you are laughing, and you are crying
Holding your burned out soul in your own hand
Whipser that you have never been lying
Destined to fail if you don't take a stand
It's true you 're on your way
To take your final dream
Your light, it has turned grey
Last chance to blow of steam
Split decisions break your will
Want to go to a peacefull place
Don't give up, be strong until these words won't matter,... anyday
Just like every silver dream
There has to come an end
Always coming back with a scream
Return to the dying or the dead
You could wish, you’ve had a choice
But for one time, you won't be that lucky
Hear the beast it’s frozen voice
No way out, the end is near, you will see
And so you lie here, so lifeless, no heartbeat, so careless
It’s over and done, I am done, no use for you, you are gone
And your life drips from my hands
As you get colder, the voices make sense
They are right, must do it again
Another victim, to ease the pain
My body is shaking, I feel so sick
No one can help me, must live with it
A little silence, when you are dead
My hands come closer, must get a grip
When silence makes a sound, you‘ll know I am there
When lights go out at night, you‘ll know I stare
When chills run up your spine, it is to late
The light that's in your eyes must disappear
And soon it will be done
See desire as I come
And I need you, need all of you, to cure me, I need you
They speak again, am I insane, do it again, It's still the same
And soon it will be done
See desire as I come
The clouds embrace the threatening sky
Soldiers, they march onto the fields of war
Conquer the ground, kill all in sight
Your duty is clear. In their thousands they'll die
Poisoned gas, bombardment of guns
Coldness and rain are severing the pain
Victory changes with every strike they made
This goes on...endlessly
Dig yourself into the trenches of death
The stench of blood, the tension of fear
Try to survive in the trenches of death
Obey and brave the fire...
All hell breaks loose
The clouds embrace the threatening sky
Soldiers, they march onto the fields of war
Conquer the ground, kill all in sight
Your duty is clear. In their thousands they'll die
Fire of guns
Shellshock
Fire of guns
Human loss
Fire of guns
Bloodbath
Fire of guns
For whom have you died
When mortals have left the earth
And they gather underground
A ghost is what remains
Waiting on the shores
The vicious spectre appears
With his black and rotten boat
Your gold will clear the trip
To the dark side of his realm
The final crossing is in sight
Prepare the gold to reach the other side
This is the end, meet your death
Crossing the Styx, the river of black
Taken before the throne
For a trial yet unknown
The verdict over your life
What will lie beyond
God of the realm below
Defines your certain fate
Past becomes the future
When his sentence has been made
Kneel for the gods
Repent your sins
What's your fate in the afterlife
Eternal fire or slavery
Or will you be a virtuous one
Kneel for the gods
Repent your sins
The dark depths of the underworld
Or the way that leads to the Elysian fields
It's your judgement day
Taken before the throne
For a trial yet unknown
The verdict over your life
What will lie beyond
God of the realm below
Defines your certain fate
Past becomes the future
When his sentence has been made
High up the frozen Mountains
Lie by a lake in secrecy
Human remains that wither in silence
A deadly chapter in history
How did they come here
Controversy has raised fear
Why have they died in numbers
Can we make the dead speak
Riddles of the damned
Six hundred perished
Forever preserved in time
Death fell on Skeleton Lake
Feel my devastating force
Coming down, piercing in your soul
I’m a god without fear
A king covered in gold
Feel my devastating force
Coming down, feeding on your bones
I’m a goddess without fear
A queen covered in blood
Not knowing their destiny
Travelling through wind and rain
The gods must be displeased
All should chant, all should fear
The sky turned dark as night
Freezing wind gained speed
Delivered to the force of nature
All fell to their knees
No redemption
No salvation
Six hundred left this mortal plane
No remorse
Self-righteous gods
All have died in fear and vain
And they ran
Fled for their lives
Death came down from the skies
Adversary
Whom has no heart
It won’t shed a single tear
A gruesome force
Deaf to their prayers
Frozen Lake is blood-red stained
Your gods are feasting
Upon your souls
This is the curse of Skeleton Lake
Beware when she unleashes
Her fury and her rage
Her kiss will break your body
She reigns supreme
Raise the banners, raise them high
True believers of the dark sign
Shining crossbones, the skull of fear
The pride of fools will lead us through hell
Out of the dark, the silent cry
Forbidden writings must be widely spread
Unveiling secrets, revealing lies
They are the heroes of the unspoken truth
Cross of hatred
Sign of fear
The lust for power is feeding anger
Cruel vision
Stream of blood
Abolition in the name of God
Raise your hands now, raise them high
Troops are marching to reconquer the land
Extermination, incineration
The final chapter of a horrible dream
Out of the dark, the silent cry
Forbidden writings must be widely spread
Message in blood, words of pain
Risk your life for the sake of mankind
Revelation - unspoken truth
Revelation - atrocious lies
Revelation - the silent cry
Revelation - It's your last act
Captured and isolated
Tortured, you’re brainwashed
Brought to court for a false trial
You stand no chance
Conviction has been made
Decapitation will silence your voice
The silent cry...
Revelation - unspoken truth
Revelation - atrocious lies
Revelation - the silent cry
Revelation - It's your last act
In the land of the rising sun
It's breaking dawn
The birth of a new day
A time long remembered
This top secret flight
Taking off into the night
On the darkest mission ever made
Enola Gay
She's on her way
To change the history of time
The land of the rising sun
In its fatal hour
The birth of a new disaster
Scars remain for life
We have just arrived
Above the target zone we fly
Prepare the cleansing weapon for assault
Enola Gay
Returning home
She changed the future of mankind
All the demons out of hell
Unleashed upon humanity
The blast came
The fire raged
Without warning
Turn the day into the night
Chaos and insanity
The clouded sky
The black rain
Without warning
I have become death
The destroyer of worlds
Wipe out the city of faith
And force them to surrender
Blackest night of all nights
The darkest evil was coming our way
A flaming star fell from above
Burning like a torch
All the angels blew their trumpets
Wind and rain pounded the earth
Mountains of fire came tumbling down
The sea rose up and swallowed all life
The prophecy was written down
in the book of Hell
Born from a jackal, blessed with a son
Omen from down below
Spawn of the dark
Evoked damnation
Messenger from Hell
Wreaked havoc upon the earth
The sword of scorn divides
Marked by 666
Sign of the jackal
Captured by destination
Embrace this dark sensation
Unholy one, Lord of Hell
I will follow the words you tell
Feel the growing inner strength
Decline goes on towards the end
Awakening of powers unknown
The crucifix must be overthrown
The rise of evil is strong inside
The force cannot be stopped
It’s Satan’s Pride
Agent of Evil, releasing chaos
The downfall of mankind
No place to hide
We all will feel
Consuming hellfire
We all will perish
In the flames of Armageddon
Sign of the jackal
Sign of the jackal
King over mystic landscapes
Dominated by ice and frost
Gifted with infertile soil
No means to feed the hungry
Due to famine and barren land
They were forced to leave their ground
Setting sail for the unknown world
They ruled the faming tide
Furore – Normanorum - Libera nos - Domine
Wield the axe, battle cry,
when dragon ships arrive
Scavenging, pillaging, heresy unleashed
Wield the axe, merciless, no man was left alive
Gold & glory, victory, phantoms of the north
Fear the phantoms of the north !
Guided by constellations
Odin is riding on their side
For all those who will die
They'll enter Valhalla
Whenever they appeared
With fire in their eyes
Bearing axes and flaming torches
They left a trail of blood behind
Invading, marauding, heralding the end of winter
The ritual, the offerings, return of the sun
King over mystic landscapes
Dominated by ice and frost
Gifted with infertile soil
No means to feed the hungry
Due to famine and barren land
They were forced to leave their ground
Setting sail for the unknown world
They ruled the faming tide
Distant Thunder
The sound of war
Defeat is looming
The Battle is closing in
To proud to surrender
Preparing our retreat
Remove all evidence
Before they arrive
The Death March
They move slowly
Towards the unknown
March into Darkness
The darkness of your soul
Watched by forces
Superior to themselves
Unbearable tension
Embittered with despair
The endless grey line
Living human chain
Their ranks have thinned
Corpses all around
No repression, do not forget
Pure revulsion is what you get
Testimony for the future
Remember the Death March!
Religious perverts
Betrayers of ideals
Scum of society
Prisoners of war
Crossing the land of pain
They move on to the end
And when they arrive in hell
The punishment is yet to begin
Remember the Death March!
Concealed away
Beneath the skull
The place unknown
Where evil breeds
The weakest souls
Turn to the dark
Trapped by hate
The ritual starts
Dreams and thoughts unreal
Become repulsive real
Slander and contempt
Know your only friends
Boundaries take place
Exquisite deceit
Your darkness takes control
You're completely lost
Dark Side Rising
Born of earthly race
Supported by the dark
Fulfill your wicked task
And smash the godlike face
Guided by the rule
You have your way with blood
Ignore the tears that flood
You think you've done the job
Feel me apprentice
Message from down below
Dark side rising
Obey me apprentice
Message from down below
Dark side rising
When failure’s at hand
Desolation starts
Endless fear you'll bear
Death will strike so slow
Out on her mission
Ordered by the High Command
Her first war cruise
Sink enemy ships
The Iceland battle
Naval engagement
It was a clash of titans
The sinking of a myth
Tons of solid steel
Pride of the seven seas
The queen of waves
Supremacy at sea
They will fight, fight, to the last shell
Open fire until the barrels glow
Crying out ghosts of the deep
Victory, victory or death
Enormous indignation
The chase has begun
Execution order
The target has been set
Continuous hammering
Vigorous defense
No other could have taken
The damage has been done
The final battle
The sea ran high
An avalanche of fire
A total chaos
This final battle
Abandon ship
An unfolding drama
A total chaos
Trapped between her massive walls
Crying out in fear
Sinking to the dark depths
Taking down the last souls
It is the end
Eyes closed forever
In darkness they dwell
Ghosts of the deep
Tons of solid steel
Pride of the seven seas
The queen of waves
Supremacy at sea
At the break of dawn, in between two storms,
before first light
The allied Forces arrived
Thousands of men
It staggers belief
Disembark the men and send them to the beach
Feel the glory, endure the pain
The first wave is on it’s way
Riding the tide
Amphibious strike
Drop the ramp
We’re out for blood
Blood and iron, the sea runs red
Blood and iron, die by drowning
Blood and iron, the sea runs red
War claimed your life
An epic human tragedy
Sacrifice for victory
A sad page in history
Colossal casualty
The troops came ashore
Pounded by artillery
A sustained hail of bullets
Shattered and lost
Riding the tide
Amphibious strike
Weakened by the shock
Our blood is spilled
The time has come to strike back
The landing will start soon
Never ending machinegun fire
No prisoners not one
The beginning of the end
The downfall of tyranny
Hell on earth, blood and guts
World domination
Gambling with the dice
The dice of Death
To stop the rivalry
Operation Overlord
An epic human tragedy
Sacrifice for victory
A sad page in history
Colossal casualty
Disembark the men and send them to the beach
Feel the glory, endure the pain
The first wave is on it’s way
