Commented
INCANATATION mainman
John McEntee: "The title track is about the massacre of Saxons in the town of Verdun in 782, called on by order of
King Charlemagne.
"As an album title, it has a different meaning to me.
'Vanquish In Vengeance' symbolizes the long history of the band. We have fought many battles over the years to keep things going. We have always stayed true to our original vision and have never caved into trends. After a long wait between albums we are back with a vengeance with some of our darkest and heaviest material to date."
