about

Sydney deathcore/hardcore band Ten Thousand Crows have returned with Judgement, the anticipated fifth and final release in their tarot card-inspired Macabre Arcana series.

After their last single The Lovers hit over 350K Spotify streams, the duo were keen to follow up quickly, but this time with a more experimental song influenced by a variety of contemporaries.

"From a musical standpoint, this is our most adventurous song to date by far," explains guitarist Jordan Hurst. "I was taking cues from metalcore bands like Polaris, Code Orange and then also the far extremes of deathcore like Distant, Mental Cruelty and Black Tongue. The end result is a bit of a melting pot of genres that speaks for itself."

Another sign of the young band experimenting further is the inclusion of a guest vocalist for the first time.

“Niik (script) was one of those vocalists who made me stop when I was scrolling through suggested bands on spotify," says Jordan. "He's also just a really fucking sweet guy to work with and he writes some intense passages. The Japanese scene is blowing up and we wanted to try and help spread it around internationally.”

“I thought Niik was a really nice counterbalance to my vocal style,” says vocalist George Mackenzie, “His part in the breakdown of the song adds so much impact, it really was the perfect fit.”

The single is accompanied by a lyric video which features the incredible tarot card artwork by artist and longtime collaborator FD Bones.

So what’s next for Ten Thousand Crows?

“We’ve got 1 more surprise which will be a grand finale to the Macabre Arcana tarot card singles series,” reveals George, “and we’re already working on material for the next release which is sounding fucking crushing. Be prepared.”

Jordan ends with, “Singles have worked extremely well for us so far but now we want to move away from that game for a while and release a more complete body of work. Stay tuned for the next phase of 10k coming soon.”

lyrics

My gift to heaven
Is my rotting corpse
I hear the trumpets scream
The sound of judgement

Are we to be condemned?

Great Lord of Sin
O' King of Death
Is this not enough?
I carved your name in them myself

Thousands before me swept into the red sky

I saved my soul for the bearer of the scales
Torn King of Judgement
Send me to my rest
Send me to my fucking rest

Great Lord of Sin
O' King of Death
Is this not enough?
I carved your name in them myself

Oh
Arrogant son of man
Count your sins and sleep
Have you forgotten what you've done?

Look at the corpses at your feet
That's where you'll fucking rot

You're arrogant son of man
Count your sins and sleep
Have you forgotten what you've done?

My gift to heaven
Is my rotting corpse
I hear the trumpets scream
The sound of judgement

My gift to heaven (My gift to heaven)
Is my rotting corpse (Is my rotting corpse)
I hear the trumpets scream (I hear the trumpets scream)
The sound of judgement (The sound of judgement)
