Siege of Syracuse!
In 397
we marched against
the tyrant Dionysius
He violated
our treaty
And he will pay with his own blood
We declare war
against Syracuse
we declare war
I’m Himilko
the mighty Carthaginian
leader of brave men
With 50.000 soldiers
200 triremes
my army is supreme
Stronger in power
stronger in numbers
Baal protects us
Their 30.000 men
will soon be dead
Baal protects us
I pray to Baal
asking for victory
I will sacrifice anything he asks for
At the gates of Syracuse
at the gates of Syracuse
we will tear down their walls
at the gates of Syracuse
And when the plague
infected us
the Gods punished us
for human sacrifice
and now Dionysius attacks
The plague destroyed our dreams
and now we must flee
the plague destroyed our dreams
Eternal embarrassment
At the gates of Syracuse
at the gates of Syracuse
we will tear down their walls
at the gates of Syracuse

2. Battle of Himera
Gelon, the powerful tyrant of Syracuse
he will face us in battle
in the fields of Himera
we are hundreds of thousands and
our blood will give us victory
On the same day with the battle of Salamis
on the same day with the battle of Salamis
Carthaginians and Iberians
holding the lines
with our spears
we slew the enemy
With tactics
and formation
with self-sacrifice
Hunt them slay them
break their lines
hunt them slay them
kill them all
Here we stand
strong and proud
here we stand
strong and powerful
Hamilka is now dead
all is lost
Hamilka is now dead
all is lost
Gelon’s cavalry
killed Hamilka
the fleet was destroyed
and sunken

Selinus
02:56
|
|||
|
For ten days
we sieged Selinus
with endless hate
we face the enemy
We support Segesta
our Elymian allies
our protectorate
We offered peace
and was rejected
they will face death
Our powerful catapults
and siege towers
will punish you
Destroy Selinus
burn them all
With battering rams
and siege towers
their walls will fall
our Catapults
will penetrate them
For our revenge
we demand 16.000 dead
Baal blessed us
Marching on in flames
I command the army with a strength
and the city has now fallen
they will face execution
we bring death and chaos
Destroy Selinus
burn them all

Hannibal Mago
leader of our army
give us revenge
give us more territory
our oath is our blood
our strength is your power
let us erase Himera
from the face of the Earth
These fields of Sicily
belong to Baal
the gods are watching
and demand victory
Carthaginians and Iberians
Sicilians and Gauls
are part of our mission.
A crusade for Baal
I see dead bodies
dead bodies on the ground
A crusade for Baal
Burn Himara
Burn Himara
kill as many peltasts
burn Himara
slay all hoplites
Behold Baal!
we offer you this burned Ionian city
behold Baal!
Burn Himara
kill as many peltasts
burn Himara
slay all hoplites

Here I stand!
at the walls of Akragas
a Dorian city
of 200.000 men
Starve them to death
make them suffer
breaching towers Will be used
against their gates
Tomb desecration Is necessary
for our siege ramps
Dig their graves
remove their remains
Plague of Akragas
Plague of Akragas
infectious disease
plague of Akragas
sacrilege towards the gods
Tomb violation

Battering rams! Destroying their walls!
a precise counterattack marked the end of the siege
We will face them in a bloody battle
Himilco – Lead us to victory
Himilco – give us all the spoils
Himilco – Lead us to victory
against Dionysius!
Himilco – Lead us to victory
Himilco – give us all the spoils
War for domination
war for glory
Sicily belongs to us
We are the ones
chosen by the gods
to rule all over the world
Hold your lines
use your spears
hold your lines
use your spears
We have won
once again
victorious we are

Tauronemium
02:03

|
On a dark moonless night
Dionysius climbs
the walls of
Tauronemium
I built the city
I fortified the area
as powerful base
to block Messana
The city will not fall
hunt them as they flee
the city will not fall
treat them as cattle
the city will not fall
hunt them as they flee
Standing on top of the walls
I can see them run away
they have felt our wrath
the power of Carthage
Deep in the night
the enemies fight
some with no armours
some without swords
Tauronemium
stands free
On a dark moonless night
Dionysius climbs
the walls of
Tauronemium
I built the city
I fortified the area
as powerful base
to block Messana

Abacaenum

|
|||
|
Encouraged by recent our victory
thirsty for another battle
we faced Dionysius again
aiming for total victory
Defeat at Abacaenum
800 Carthaginians dead
defeat at Abacaenum
Dionysius triumph
We strike the phalanx
we attack their hoplites
as our cavalry fights
Defeat at Abacaenum
800 Carthaginians dead
defeat at Abacaenum
Dionysius triumph
Courageous Libyans struggle to hold their lines
close formation in a dense phalanx.
strong body shields and long throwing spears.
Gauls and Sardinian allies
self-immolation
With our swords we penetrate them
Mago orders us to hold our lines
their strength was beyond our powers
it’s the end of our supremacy
Our supremacy
Defeat at Abacaenum
800 Carthaginians dead
defeat at Abacaenum
Dionysius triumph
Defeat at Abacaenum Dionysius triumph
defeat at Abacaenum Dionysius triumph

Skirmishing

Avoid a set-piece battle
Near the river Chrysas
two armies were ready to collide
80.000 men
against 40.000
This conflict will determine our future
Guerilla war
scorched Earth
guerilla war
scorched Earth
We are suffering
from supply shortage
loss of moral
decreased discipline
Our forces are more vulnerable
we are losing control
they want an open battle
to kill us all
Light infantry skirmishers are everywhere against us
they use bows slings and light shields
this warfare has exhausted us we are unable to carry on
Disruption
of food supply
However
the Syracusans left
they didn’t want
a long guerilla war
Both sides now weakened
it’s time for peace
Mago and Dionysius
signed a new treaty
Skirmishing

Sicilian Wars

As Diodorus writes
Mago died at the battle of Cabala
succeeded by his son Himilco Mago
this powerful new general
will decide our fate
along with the gods
of Kar Ha dash
when the conflict began, we attacked their wings
Leptines resisted with bravery
he killed many Carthaginians
but in the end, he fell
for the death of his father, Himilco will take revenge
Hunt them and take no prisoners
we must prevail to stop the war
more than 14.000 will die
Carthage has won
Carthage has won
Long exhaustion for both sides
a new enemy will rise
Rome will expand on both sides
and exterminate Carthage

Enraged & Unbound
by Unfathomable Ruination
supported by 7 fans who also own “Sicilian Wars”
Following the classic that is Finitude with another equally amazing slab of heaviness should be a hard feat. I guess UR are just that good at writing their brand of brutal goodness because this absolutely lives up to expectations. Technical enough to keep me entertained and brutal enough to get my juices flowing.

My favorite track to perform - this song talks about taking the world into your own hands through murder after failing to do things "the right way"

never been a big death metal fan but this is actually super accessible for the genre, has fun concepts, and personally i'm always a fan of albums with short tracklists and huge runtimes (for individual songs) Great time, good jumping on point for newbies too.
