With the arrival of the true King, the serpent lashes out in fury. "The Slaughter of the Innocents" is the darkest and most aggressive track on the album, detailing Herod's paranoid rage from Matthew 2. This is the enemy's brutal counter-attack. Fusing thrash and power metal, the song's furious verses capture Herod's murderous decree, while the crushingly heavy chorus becomes a sorrowful lament for the first martyrs of the Christian faith. This track serves as a violent reminder that the light of Christ's kingdom provokes a desperate, vicious response from the powers of darkness.
