ritual

destruction

The opening vision to this song is an aerial shot of a mountain ridge, revealing a massive sinister castle. It’s a haunting medieval giant that looms over a large expanse of land… the perfect grounds for a legendary battle to take place. The key figure in this song I see as an ancient witch who doubles as the ruler of the castle. She initiates battles and finishes them. From the icy seas of the North to wherever her sights are set, she will rule. Dragons circle the ever-darkening heavens as a great battle commences, spewing fire upon the unfortunate warriors below. It’s in this chaos that she finds serenity. This is her ritual destruction, and everyone who has come face to face with her knows that her darkness consumes all.
