StormReign - The Dark Prophecy Pt.1 "Fall from Grace" (Dark Power, Melodic Death Metal)

A fallen archangel, Azariel, rebels out of pride, becomes the tyrannical Prophet of Darkness, but ultimately finds redemption through sacrifice against an ancient evil he unleashed.

Part One:
The story follows the powerful Archangel Azariel, who rises against God, convinced that humanity is undeserving of His love. Defeated in the Heavenly War, he is cast down into the abyss and transforms into the Prophet of Darkness, a harbinger of the apocalypse.
The path from pride and betrayal through the fall to the acceptance of dark power and the beginning of conquest.

Track-by-track description:
"Heaven's Wrath" – Azariel defies God and the Heavenly Host. A song of his pride and belief in his own superiority.

"Wings of Black" – The moment of his physical and spiritual fall. His wings turn black, and divine grace abandons him. A depiction of pain and hatred.

"Prophet of the Apocalypse" – Azariel proclaims himself the Prophet of Darkness and foretells the end of all creation. His first prophecy.

"The Abyss Screams My Name" – The descent into the Abyss. He encounters demons who acknowledge him as their new master. The acceptance of his destiny.

"Crowned in Shadow" – Azariel's coronation as the ruler of the netherworld. He builds his citadel and gathers an army of exiled souls.

"Legions of the Damned" – A description of his army—countless demons, fallen angels, and cursed souls, all thirsting for war.

"The Seventh Seal (Is Broken)" – Azariel finds an ancient seal and, driven by thirst for power, breaks it, unaware that he is unleashing an ancient evil.

"A Spark in the Void" – A moment of doubt. Amidst the darkness, he briefly remembers the light and feels the first pang of unease.

"The Heretic's March" – The march of the dark army upon the mortal world. The relentless annihilation of everything in its path.

"Echoes of a Dead Light" – Amidst the carnage, Azariel hears echoes of prayers and memories of his former life, but suppresses them with rage.

"World in Flames" – The album's finale. The world is engulfed in fire. Azariel stands atop the ruins in triumph, but the ancient evil he unleashed begins to stir.
