Includes unlimited streaming via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

in 2014, XEX celebrates their 17th year as a band. "VIER" marks their 4th full-length studio album, the first since their lives were forever changed with the near death of drummer Pete Wadams.

Today, their bond of friendship and music has never been stronger. 8 years in the making, the music on this album acknowledges the fragile beauty of live and the will to overcome - and of course, the power of heavy metal.

Play it loud, muthas!!! - this album is dedicated to all of our friends, family, and fellow musicians who have stood by us for so many years. May the metal be forever in your ears.

2.	Thunder of Ages 05:14	lyrics
We ride like the rains, Crashing down with the thunder of ages The wind is sharp, the cold cuts like a knife The trail is long the mountain is high No-more, this fear in our eyes No-more, this fear dies tonight We ride like the rains, Crashing down with the thunder of ages Nothing Stands in our way, With stone-cold hearts we are the fire and the flames That burn away this evil land, we will restore to righteous power, The king of old, for glory again. The sword is sharp as we hunt through the dead night Evil that Waits Is a feast of Lies We'll fight to hold this land Victorious or die where we stand We ride like the rains, Crashing down with the thunder of ages Nothing Stands in our way, With stone-cold hearts we are the fire and the flames That burn away this evil land, we will restore to righteous power, The king of old, for glory again. Ride on the wings of challenge Take over the Sun Fear nothing inside the heavens Only die once We ride like the rains, Crashing down with the thunder of ages Nothing Stands in our way, With stone-cold hearts we are the fire and the flames That burn away this evil land, we will restore to righteous power, The king of old, for glory again.

3.	Recome 05:55	lyrics
I have to preach the only gospel that I have seen with my own eyes Your truth is flawed. Yet those who listen, still they believe your frailty Just hold off the screaming until you’ve seen us – become Hold the knowledge that we have rebuilt – recome Alone we’re flawed - in that we crumple before the truth that we should stand Before we fall, we should remember that we were made to overcome Just hold off the screaming until you’ve seen us – become Hold the knowledge that we have rebuilt – recome And still we fight for our own right to exist even though we cannot win - Because we live, we have to fight and it matters not: weather or not we win Just hold off the screaming until you’ve seen us – become Hold the knowledge that we have rebuilt – recome
4.	Dimms 04:24	lyrics
when will the bill be paid now, or your choice is made why is it never full now, given the strings you pull light still fades, in the shade hear what I have become lame with my spirit numb pain, my emotions starve your soul - in my name you'll carve light still fades, in the shade as black as the blackest night night still comes, but it fades force my world to progress fill all this emptiness all that is left of me, is a shade of what was meant to be night still comes, but it fades
5.	Fade 05:13	lyrics
I watch you hide behind your pride-and-shame And you are searching for a soul-to-blame And as you fight to win, your light-still-fades There are no choices left the price-is-paid And when I make a choice, the line-is-drawn Your hubris feeds until my pride-is-gone You force your world to fit inside-a-frame And you still just see me as a dog-to-tame I am, what I have made - (Chorus): Reality - is getting older – we fade And as your life is growing colder – we fade And as we age, we leave some memory – we fade We turn the page, and set the shadow free As we fade There is (a)coldness that’s within-your-heart It causes sorrow to be ripped-a-part Look at it in the eye, and raise-your-chin Your independence shows its face-with-in The winds of time continu_ing-to-blow It’s clear that until now you’ve not-been-shown This timeless story, now, will-never-end The dance we dance will cause change to-im-pend I am, what I have made - (Chorus) Reality shows up (&)the world-is-cold The rancid truth sinks in, I want to fold It’s now compelling you to look-a-away Your quest for independent thought-de-cays Just force it back to you, it should-not-end That quest in life is healthy to-de-fend Absorb your pride in life, don’t be-mis-lead Display your quality, your pride-will-spread I am, what I have made

been eating taco bell for 6 days straight it's time for me to get relief I'm going home to sit on my throne one push away from my reward good-god, I need relief deep down inside of me once more, I push in vein backed up, no hope remains - god-damn it I keep on trying with a broken-heart I try to shit, but only fart the strongest urge, the need to purge grant me relase from this charade - (chorus) - I rebuke you demon
8.	Apart And Away 05:50	lyrics
We’re just two people who shouldn’t be together No matter how much, how hard we may try There isn’t one thing I don’t love about you But I don’t think I can do this one more time There will be love and laughter left in this world It just won’t seem that way to you and I The terrible things we’ve said we surely don’t mean it You only find those words before you cry Deciding who’s to blame I have to stop the shaming Fighting to lay claim to pride Watching this alone I always see the weakness My heart is now a tomb The hardest thing not to give is just one more chance There’s a line in the sand and that’s all that we have The only thing left is to slowly turn and walk away But how do you move when you’re frozen from grief and pain A light that at one time had held us so brightly Is now growing dimmer to light someone else’s way Deciding who’s to blame I have to stop the shaming Fighting to lay claim to pride Watching this alone I always see the weakness My heart is now a tomb We’re just two people who shouldn’t be together No matter how much, how hard we may try There isn’t one thing I don’t love about you But I don’t think I can do this one more time Deciding who’s to blame I have to stop the shaming Fighting to lay claim to pride Watching this alone I always see the weakness My heart is now a tomb

11.	Disgraced 05:08	lyrics
Staring with a vengeance, I threw a rock and broke the light. I waited in the darkness 'till the moment was right. The silence in the darkness, a stalking shadow in the night. I hear the engine pull in and I poise to strike. Disgraced When everything was failing, I had no one to stand beside. Smile as you turn away for you stole my pride. Though my pain is over, The scars can never go away. I can never rest until my nightmare’s slayed. Disgraced You cut and burned the flower, I have a hated twisted life. Striking from the shadows, your blood on my knife Now as I take you, sorrow blinded by my hate I have made you like you made me: now disgraced Disgraced
12.	Glass of Pain II 05:11	lyrics
We have been in this place many times before thinking this time would be different than before The faces have all changed but the dreams remain the same They never come to pass, but it keeps us in this game Sitting around with faces so blue and nothing ever changes but nothing else will do we pour this glass of pain, deeper into our veins and let the poison wash away the pain of today the clock on the wall tells me it's time to walk away that he'll be back again to lose another day Choosing high over the pain broken body, unbroken chain Sitting around with faces so blue and nothing ever changes but nothing else will do we pour this glass of pain, deeper into our veins and let the poison wash away the pain of today with only the sad left hope for a better way they shut of the lights and then we slowly leave the stage sometime I hate what I have made but what I hate more is to change we pour this glass of pain, deeper into our veins and let the poison wash away the pain of today
13.	Ascend 07:17	lyrics
Once more through the universe The last adventure awaits For all..of us Gaining speed through the ascension Light explodes all around Us ass..we fly Just one life in this dimension Too soon it all fades away - Bridge: Travelers on A beam of light Through space and time Open to all Infinite site Higher we rise No matter the life we live The end will just come for all of us The afterlife is a stage of mind Open your heart and fear not New ways of thought. - Chorus: Though it hurts us no morn a life When it goes away We know a new dawn will coincide To rid the dark from the day Though it hurts us to morn a life When it goes away We know a new dawn will coincide To rid the dark from the day Disintegrate into everything The soul and cosmos are one For all…to be
