There is no stopping the mighty SORCERER and in the autumn of 2023 the band will release their highly anticipated fourth album entitled ‘Reign Of The Reaper’. Again not content with repeating themselves the album features some of the darkest, heaviest and most aggressive material the band has ever recorded, and at the same time some of the most lyrical and beautiful.

For ‘Reign Of The Reaper’ the band holed up in their home studios and wrote music all through 2022 and then once again headed to SolnaSound Recording in Stockholm, the studio owned, run and operated by Simon Johansson (Wolf, Soilwork) with Mike Wead (King Diamond) assisting, to record the drums. SORCERER likes to work with a small, tried and trusted team so therefore they once again employed the services of Ronnie Björnström (engineering/mixing/ mastering) and Jani Stefanovic (cover art for the singles & artwork booklet/packaging design); these guys have been working with the band since the first album and as per usual they delivered superbly. The striking album cover artwork was created by Swedish artist Joakim Ericsson. Conny Welén as usual handled co-production duties. Anders says: “He has been working with us since 2015 and the reunion album In The Shadow Of The Inverted Cross. Connys contribution to our sound is heard in every song; he is involved in the arrangements and plays all keyboards”. He also co-writes the vocal melodies and the foundations of some of the lyrics and on top of this he also recorded Anders’ vocals in his studio. Photographer Marieke Verschuren provided the awesome band photos as she also did on the previous album.

LYRICS:
Turn from God, abandoned, left to die on this night
My eyes wide open, but clouded and dark

Horse of black, prepared for this specter in my dying time
All the shadows from this war are screaming out my name

Kneel and bow
Before the Dark Lord
He's the ending for us all
Tumbling down we fall

The time has come to repent our unspeakable deeds
But he's just the rider, our fate will be sealed

Buried in dirt and vanish into dim oblivion
The stories they’re all the same in the chronicles of Death

Kneel and bow
Before the Dark Lord
He's the ending for us all.
Witness your fall

The reign of the reaper.
Tumbling down we fall

Alis mortis
Exitio venit
Depopulator animarum.

Collecting souls of the forsaken
To travel beyond the Northern Skies
To show both worlds, Heaven, and Hell
Every man has a choice while they live and now the choice is all mine

Kneel and bow
Before the Dark Lord
He's the ending for us all
Witness your fall

The reign of the reaper
