The Cull
Cut down, one by one
No sound remains
Don’t fear if death finds you, this day
Are you with me
Let us savor the pain
Do you hear the distant sound
Calling your name
In time, all of us are forgotten
The ones that don’t belong to the pages of history
But as my forefathers, I take to the open seas
And as long before, I follow and don’t ask more
Passed down, long before, the stories of old
This time, I will not be forgotten
I won’t be towed along with the feeble and the enemy
But as my forefathers, I take to the open seas
And as long before, I follow and don’t ask more
Passed down, long before, the stories of old
And won’t be called upon
Композиция 02
Mortal Reminder
Blinded by hate brought by the fall
As I swear death to all
You will feel my vengeance
As I claim your mortal soul
I will punish and destroy
Those responsible for this ploy
I will seek a thousand deaths
I will bring a thousand years of war
All that I had taken away
My home is gone, and my love ones slain
For every sleep claims a piece of me
Every waking moment, every single dream
As the masses came
Like a shadow through this land
They laid siege to all we ever had
I stood strong, I was honor bound
I stand defiant, I stand ever proud
I am the chosen
I am the guardian, the guardian
Now I seek the blood of those
Who claimed the innocent
I will hunt the enemy to the last
I will banish and rejoice
The final breath of foes
You will see what you have made
You will see what I have finally become
All that I had laid to the waste
My spirit broken and just memories remain
For every day claims a piece of me
Every waking hour claims my inner peace
My inner peace
As the masses came
Like a shadow through this land
They laid siege to all we ever had
I stood strong, I was honor bound
I stand defiant, I stand ever proud
I am the chosen
I am the guardian, the guardian

Tear of the Goddess
The unknown terror
That stood alone
Passed from the days of the early suns
Through worlds of lost belief
Laid waste and buried deep
Summoned to be set up to fall
But there’s no fear
That lives inside this soul
Inside this world
There is no way back to forgiving us
Undone, deliverer
The sinful and the saviors of the innocent
And so
Keepers of old
Keep us from cold
Let us fight once more
Till our honor is restored
The unknown terror
That lives below
Breathes the flames from the dying suns
And lives to wake the dying ones
The dying ones
The dying ones
(The dying ones)
(The dying ones)
Inside this world
There is no way back to forgiving us
Undone, deliverer
The sinful and the saviors of the innocent
And so
Keepers of old
Keep us from cold
Let us fight once more
Till our honor is restored

Infinity Edge
Beyond the lands of dreams
I hear the call of riches
Word of waters blessed unnatural
Granting power of gods to men
Under the distant sun is my calling
I walk the lands
That death cannot conquer
And through the unforgiving worlds
The battle lays in wait
Seeking the way
That leads me to the power of the edge
The edge
I’m living and dying a thousand lives
And it’s taken its toll on me this time
The edge cares not so why should I
Because I breathe the air of immortals
And I’ll be the true invincible
The edge is my destiny
So far from home I’m reeling
I’ve seen the fall of friends
The end of the road approaching
I will have my victory
I will not cease to be
You will not ever stop me
I won’t give up the dream
You cannot ever stop me
Seeking the way
That leads me to the power of the edge
I’m living and dying a thousand lives
And it’s taken its toll on me this time
The edge cares not so why should I
Because I breathe the air of immortals
And I’ll be the true invincible
The edge is my destiny
I’m living and dying a thousand lives
And it’s taken its toll on me this time
The edge cares not so why should I
Because I breathe the air of immortals
And I’ll be the true invincible
The edge is my destiny
My destiny
My destiny
My destiny
My destiny

Dead Man’s Plate
Is there reason, in this life
We call our own
So many misguided visions
And trusting deceit
And in our shallow pursuit of truth
We lost ourselves
May the storms gather
May the cinders roam
Those that will die will still remember
You drank deep and you paid the price
(What did you think you would find)
Answer the dark whisper
And you will tear this world apart
Our world apart
When the walls came down
We we’re left abandoned here
There’s no soul inside us
We’re just all flesh and bone
To wander the dead lands forever
Will we ever get the chance
Will we ever get the chance
To show them
So many forgotten and we live on
In the city that once was timeless
You drank deep and you paid the price
(What did you think you would find)
Answer the dark whisper
And you will tear this world apart
Our world apart
You will tear this world apart

Is that all you’ve got to say
Cause this is not another game
Not one that you wanna play
Step, by step, by step
Death march to your grave
Is that all you’ve got to say
Cause this is not another game
Not one that you wanna play
Step, by step, by step
Death march to your grave
There’s no one left you can blame
A lonely war dance of pain
Step, by step, by step
Death march to your grave
Is that all you’ve got to say
Is that all you’ve got to say
Step, by step, by step
Death march to your grave

The Bloodthirster
Cast down the weak
Those who deceived us
Those who would let us burn
Liars and cheats
Brittle and weak
Another day will come
Crawling on your knees right to the end
I let you pretend you had your last days
Calling for me to disappear
I cannot be so easily sent forth
As you descended on them
You carry their memories of endless pain
As remnants to their end
One after one
You sever them, sever them
Sever
Sever, sever your demons deep within
A shadow that’s been long instilled
Cast down the weak
Those who deceived us
Those who would let us burn
Liars and cheats
Brittle and weak
Another day will come
Torment so easily dispensed
You tried to break our will but you failed
Calling the serpentine flame
Until we were just dust and remains
As you descended on them
You carry their memories of endless pain
As remnants to their end
One after one
You sever them, sever them
Sever
Cast down the weak
Those who deceived us
Those who would let us burn
Liars and cheats
Brittle and weak
Another day will come
Cast down the weak
Those who would flee us
Those who would let us burn
Liars and cheats
Feeble and weak
I see them
Another day will
Another day will
Another day will come

Frozen Heart
Up here on the roof of the world
Up here on the roof of the world
Long have we sought to ascend this place
A life of servitude to omens
The elders have promised us long before
With evil banished to the wastelands
Hands of the chosen will extend to us
Upon the roof of this world
Distant voices calling for the final fight
We will answer with victory
Long have we fought for these lands
In the shadows and the stories of the promised light
Now to take our place beyond
Up here on the roof of the world
Up here on the roof of the world
Where we are sworn to guard no more
Up here on the roof of the world
Long have we fought to protect this place
These haunted dreams never ending
Clinching to the promises of life reborn
Upon the roof of this world
Distant voices calling for the final fight
We will answer with victory
Long have we fought for these lands
In the shadows and the stories of the promised light
Now to take our place beyond
Here on the roof of the world
In the cradle of the storms
Where vengeful winds cut to the bone
And there’s no turning back
(Here on the roof of the world)
(Here on the roof of the world)
(Here on the roof of the world)
Up here on the roof of the world
Up here on the roof of the world
Where we are sworn to guard no more
Up here on the roof of the world

Rapid Firecannon
A forgotten place inside the lonely tower
Tear it down with a metal roar
The war eternal, I assail the unassailable
A second release unhaunted by my past
Beneath the marshlands
Calling forth the night
Buried deep a weapon forged in fire
Fathers and sons their kin laid to waste
(An evil is renewed)
Light up
The night with flames and cinder
For I am renewed
(Down in flames)
(Feel the kick and watch them burn)
Light up
Caught in the crossfire Overwhelming firepower
(Now return to hell)
(In a firestorm)
Out with the old
In with the new world order
Die or obey the choice is yours
Undetected, into the spider’s web
Taking it apart slowly piece by piece
Find a shadow to hide me, and I wait
Tricksters and spellweavers beware
With this flame I culled the weak
Made my nation strong again
Well now they’re all dead and gone
Dead and gone
With this blade
I call the weak
Make my nation strong again
Beneath the marshlands
Calling forth the night
Buried deep a weapon forged in fire
Fathers and sons, their kin laid to waste
(An evil is renewed)
Light up
The night with flames and cinder
For I am renewed
(Down in flames)
(Feel the kick and watch them burn)
Light up
Caught in the crossfire
Overwhelming firepower
(Now return to hell)
(In a firestorm)

Последствия Последствия
Когда на дальнем севере Фрельйорда день сменяется ночью и ветераны многих битв собираются вокруг горящего очага, они иногда вспоминают кровавую ночь на льду, когда на свободу была выпущена убийственная ярость. Эту историю рассказывают лишь шепотом – тихим и благоговейным. Некоторые утверждают, что это не более чем легенда для запугивания юнцов, но многие считают, что даже разговоры об этом способны призвать воинов металла, и те могут вернуться со своих гастролей по потусторонним мирам. Никто не пережил той мрачной ночи, но порой безрассудные рассказчики заговаривают о берсерке, который пожинает кровавую жатву своим топором. Они шепчут, что даже его брат не смог тогда унять его ярость. Конец буйству металлического великана положила лишь гора, под которой он был погребен.
К югу от рая К югу от рая
Одни говорят, что Кейл прибыла на Рунтерру верхом на огненной комете, расколовшей небеса, другие утверждают, что она восседала на сверкающем змееподобном драконе. Помимо этих существует еще множество других легенд о том, как Кейл оказалась среди смертных. Облаченная в сверкающий золотом зазубренный доспех, богиня-воительница прибыла из мира, раздираемого враждой, в поисках союзников, которые помогли бы ей победить в великой битве против дьявольских орд ее вероломной сестры. На планете Земля не нашлось ни одного воина, который отвечал бы ее требованиям, поэтому она отправилась на Рунтерру в поисках воинов металла.
Божественные речи Кейл были столь возвышенными, что она могла общаться со смертными лишь посредством грандиозных симфонических рок-опер, которые повествовали о ее незавидной судьбе. Безграничная скорбь ее оперных арий пронзала сердце каждого, кто их слышал, и в конце выступления все слушатели настолько проникались тоской, что падали замертво. Но, так как каждая композиция обычно длилась много часов, у них оставалось достаточно времени, чтобы привести свои дела в порядок перед смертью. И все-таки, даже несмотря на душераздирающие слова ее песен, никто из зрителей не мог по-настоящему понять глубину ее горя, никто не мог осознать масштабов ее скорби, не погибнув на месте.
Под останками Под останками
Последнее живое выступление группы закончилось тем, что Мордекайзер истребил всех фрельйордских зрителей, и тогда Картус отдал Олафу роковой приказ – отбить «ритм, способный разделить мир», чтобы расколоть землю и сбросить на Мордекайзера высочайший пик ледяного царства. Когда гора начала рушиться и земля затряслась от падающих камней, члены группы разбежались по дальним уголкам Рунтерры, чтобы скрыться от гнева боевых королев Фрельйорда и избежать кровной вражды.
Картус обосновался в Билджвотере, где принялся зарабатывать на жизнь тем, что, облачившись в балахон, отпевал усопших во время панихид. Как ни странно, это положительно сказалось на местных жителях – люди начали лучше заботиться о своем здоровье, чтобы их семьям не пришлось проходить через такое испытание. Тогда Картус решил сменить сферу деятельности – он начал ездить по убогим злачным питейным заведениям, где выступал на поминальных попойках по убитым пиратам, разбавляя морские песни шанти своими похоронными песнопениями. На горизонте уже маячили безумие и безвестность, но тут в своей лучезарной форме в Билджвотер прибыла Кейл.
Она услышала в его отчаянных песнях бесконечное страдание и поняла, что Картус сможет понять ее скорбь. Их знакомство закончилось горестной попойкой – ночью кутежа, готической поэзии и оперного пения. Мужчины и женщины Кровавых доков бросались в кишащий чудовищами океан – лишь бы не слышать скорбный дуэт. В конце концов Картус и Кейл дали Клятву вокалистов – преодолеть все невзгоды и стать сильнее. Все-таки грустить лучше вдвоем, а не в одиночку.
Среди живых Среди живых
Согбенный, в надвинутом на глаза капюшоне, Йорик после кровавой резни во Фрельйорде отправился на юг и не останавливался, пока не добрался до выжженных солнцем пустошей Шуримы. Солнечный свет был ему в новинку – раньше он избегал его, боясь, что люди будут шарахаться от лица, к которому не привыкла даже родная мать. Он занимался раскопками гробниц давно ушедших императоров, что позволяло ему большую часть времени проводить в темноте подземелий – и это, безусловно, было по душе другим рабочим.
Его уникальная бас-гитара с легкостью дробила песчаники Шуримы, но зачастую в процессе возникал и побочный эффект – из-за разжижения песков многих рабочих, занимавшихся раскопками гробниц, погребало заживо. И все же эти несчастные были не прочь умереть – лишь бы перестать слушать человека, в компании с которым заскучал бы даже камень. В конце концов ему запретили появляться на каких бы то ни было раскопках во всей Шуриме. После многих месяцев, проведенных под землей с давно умершими правителями, Йорик понял, что тоже хочет быть похоронен в песках.
Он углубился в материковый грунт, где построил свой собственный мрачный мавзолей. Он замуровал себя в гробнице, куда не мог проникнуть даже лучик света, и приготовился провести тысячелетия, наслаждаясь одиночеством. Йорик спал под пустыней, пока его гробницу не открыли Картус и Кейл. Два певца убедили Йорика, что тысячелетия прошли, а те, кто хотел его смерти, уже и сами мертвы.
Да будет рок Да будет рок
Погребение Мордекайзера под горой во Фрельйорде вдохновило Сону, и, в то время как остальные члены группы в отчаянии разошлись по дальним уголкам Рунтерры, она загорелась желанием сочинять возвышенные симфонические рок-оперы. Она отправилась в путешествие по величайшим храмам мира (и за его пределами), но так и не смогла найти подходящее место, акустика которого довела бы звучание ее музыки до громкости космических масштабов. Великие ледяные храмы Фрельйорда были закрыты для Соны, поэтому она присоединилась к проклятой команде »Змеиного пира» в их путешествии к вулканическим островам в неизведанных водах к востоку от Билджвотера.
Жуткая команда корабля быстро убралась восвояси, когда Сона расчехлила свои клавишные инструменты и принялась сооружать собственный остров – с присущей ей мелодичной брутальностью. Своей музыкой созидания Сона поднимала из глубин вулканические острова и выплавляла из лавы огромные органные трубы, которые делали ее игру все громозвучнее. Их мелодии были так мощны, что разносились между мирами и топили целые континенты (из-за этого запланированный концерт на Атлантиде так и не состоялся). Окруженная могучими вулканами, Сона вызывала из самого сердца планеты адское пламя, охватывавшее небеса. Но, какой бы великолепной ни была ее музыка, Сона жаждала большего. Ей требовался аккомпанемент из демонического воя внеземных гитар и раскатистого грома ударных с басом.
Разрушитель Разрушитель
Несмотря на то, что шептал ему внутренний голос, Олаф не остался вместе с Мордекайзером, когда на того падала гора. Любимый собутыльник Олафа Йорик отправился на юг, поэтому, чтобы залить горе о своем последнем, как он тогда думал, концерте, Олаф решил упиться вусмерть самым крышесносным пойлом Рунтерры. В пути он завел себе приятеля по имени Грагас, с которым добрался до трущоб Зауна, а там уже начал накачивать себя крепчайшими коктейлями Сточных ям, хвастаться днями былой славы и задирать головорезов, усиленных химтеком.
Ржавей с миром Ржавей с миром
Когда на Мордекайзера рухнула гора, он счел это знаком самих богов металла и решил, что его демоническая цель нести металл в массы достигнута, а уровень его металла достиг высшей точки. Его силовые аккорды начали разрушать саму ткань мироздания, поэтому вселенная покарала его горой. Славный конец для верховного жреца металла.
Мордекайзер знал, что когда-нибудь он переродится и восстанет из расплавленных обломков рухнувшего пика былым и грядущим королем металла. Но время шло, и он начал засыпать. Те, кто жили в глубокой тени рушащейся горы, сторонились дурного пика из черного металла и проклятых камней. На его вершине из скалы торчала блестящая обсидиановая рукоятка рычащего топора. Со временем это проклятое место обросло легендами – легендами, которые гласят: вытащивший топор из горы станет тем, кто воссоединит вестников новой эры металла.
Когда гора наконец содрогнулась и рухнула, все увидели дерзкого бога рока. Мордекайзер встал, чтобы поприветствовать великана, вытащившего топор из скалы, но увидел своих старых товарищей по группе в сопровождении пылающей валькирии из потустороннего мира. Картус протягивал ему топор, острые струны которого подрагивали от нетерпения.

Is that all you’ve got to say
Cause this is not another game
Not one that you wanna play
Step, by step, by step
Death march to your grave
Is that all you’ve got to say
Cause this is not another game
Not one that you wanna play
Step, by step, by step
Death march to your grave
There’s no one left you can blame
A lonely war dance of pain
Step, by step, by step
Death march to your grave
Is that all you’ve got to say
Is that all you’ve got to say
Step, by step, by step
Death march to your grave

The Bloodthirster
Cast down the weak
Those who deceived us
Those who would let us burn
Liars and cheats
Brittle and weak
Another day will come
Crawling on your knees right to the end
I let you pretend you had your last days
Calling for me to disappear
I cannot be so easily sent forth
As you descended on them
You carry their memories of endless pain
As remnants to their end
One after one
You sever them, sever them
Sever
Sever, sever your demons deep within
A shadow that’s been long instilled
Cast down the weak
Those who deceived us
Those who would let us burn
Liars and cheats
Brittle and weak
Another day will come
Torment so easily dispensed
You tried to break our will but you failed
Calling the serpentine flame
Until we were just dust and remains
As you descended on them
You carry their memories of endless pain
As remnants to their end
One after one
You sever them, sever them
Sever
Cast down the weak
Those who deceived us
Those who would let us burn
Liars and cheats
Brittle and weak
Another day will come
Cast down the weak
Those who would flee us
Those who would let us burn
Liars and cheats
Feeble and weak
I see them
Another day will
Another day will
Another day will come
Track 08
Frozen Heart
Up here on the roof of the world
Up here on the roof of the world
Long have we sought to ascend this place
A life of servitude to omens
The elders have promised us long before
With evil banished to the wastelands
Hands of the chosen will extend to us
Upon the roof of this world
Distant voices calling for the final fight
We will answer with victory
Long have we fought for these lands
In the shadows and the stories of the promised light
Now to take our place beyond
Up here on the roof of the world
Up here on the roof of the world
Where we are sworn to guard no more
Up here on the roof of the world
Long have we fought to protect this place
These haunted dreams never ending
Clinching to the promises of life reborn
Upon the roof of this world
Distant voices calling for the final fight
We will answer with victory
Long have we fought for these lands
In the shadows and the stories of the promised light
Now to take our place beyond
Here on the roof of the world
In the cradle of the storms
Where vengeful winds cut to the bone
And there’s no turning back
(Here on the roof of the world)
(Here on the roof of the world)
(Here on the roof of the world)
Up here on the roof of the world
Up here on the roof of the world
Where we are sworn to guard no more
Up here on the roof of the world
Track 09
Rapid Firecannon
A forgotten place inside the lonely tower
Tear it down with a metal roar
The war eternal, I assail the unassailable
A second release unhaunted by my past
Beneath the marshlands
Calling forth the night
Buried deep a weapon forged in fire
Fathers and sons their kin laid to waste
(An evil is renewed)
Light up
The night with flames and cinder
For I am renewed
(Down in flames)
(Feel the kick and watch them burn)
Light up
Caught in the crossfire Overwhelming firepower
(Now return to hell)
(In a firestorm)
Out with the old
In with the new world order
Die or obey the choice is yours
Undetected, into the spider’s web
Taking it apart slowly piece by piece
Find a shadow to hide me, and I wait
Tricksters and spellweavers beware
With this flame I culled the weak
Made my nation strong again
Well now they’re all dead and gone
Dead and gone
With this blade
I call the weak
Make my nation strong again
Beneath the marshlands
Calling forth the night
Buried deep a weapon forged in fire
Fathers and sons, their kin laid to waste
(An evil is renewed)
Light up
The night with flames and cinder
For I am renewed
(Down in flames)
(Feel the kick and watch them burn)
Light up
Caught in the crossfire
Overwhelming firepower
(Now return to hell)
(In a firestorm)

Aftermath Aftermath
When the sky in the far north of the Freljord grows dark, and warriors gather around the hearthfire embers, they sometimes speak of a deathly night on the ice, of murderous rage unbound. It is a tale only spoken of in hushed, awed whispers. Some claim it is no more than a legend invented to frighten youngsters, others claim that even to speak of it is to invite the return of those metal warriors from their tour of the realms beyond. None lived to tell of this grim night, but sometimes a reckless taleteller speaks of a berserk axeman reaping lives with his axe. They whisper that not even his brothers could restrain his fury. Only by bringing a mountain down upon the metal giant was his rampage halted.
South of Heaven South of Heaven
Accounts of Kayle’s arrival in Runeterra variously speak of her borne by a fiery comet that split the sky, or straddling the girth of a glittering, serpentine dragon. These are just two of the legends of how Kayle came to walk among mortals. Gleaming in jagged warplate, she was a golden warrior goddess from a strife-torn world in search of allies to fight an epic war against the diabolical hordes of her faithless sister. Planet Earth had failed to produced warriors of mettle, so she travelled to Runeterra in search of warriors of metal.
So rarefied was Kayle’s divine speech that she could only communicate via grand, symphonic metal operas that told of her plight. The depthless sorrow of these operatic arias pierced the hearts of all who heard them and her listeners were frequently overcome with such overwhelming melancholy that they simply dropped dead at the end of her performance. But since each song was typically many hours long, they had time enough to put their affairs in order before death took them. Yet for all the heart-rending emotion contained in her lyrics, none of her audiences could truly understand the depths of her woes, no one could hear the sorrow of her existence without immediately perishing.
Beneath the Remains Beneath the Remains
After the disastrous end to their last live performance, where Mordekaiser destroyed the entirety of the Freljordian crowd, Karthus gave the fateful order for Olaf to drum the “Worldsplitter Rhythm” that sundered the land and brought down the icy realm’s highest peak upon Mordekaiser. As the rock of the mountain cascaded down, the band fled to the far corners of Runeterra to escape the wrath of Freljoridan battle queens and the raft of inevitable blood feuds.
She heard the depthless well of misery in his despairing lyrics and knew Karthus alone could understand her own sorrow. What followed was a drunken woe-off, a night of debauchery, gothic poetry and operatic singing that saw the men and women of the Slaughter Docks hurl themselves into the monster-filled ocean rather than listen to their maudlin duets. In the aftermath, Karthus and Kayle pledged the Vocalist’s Oath to return stronger than ever. After all, shared woe is better than solitary woe.
Among the Living Among the Living
His unique bass was the perfect tool to crush the soft rock of Shurima, but often had the side effect of liquefying the sand to a degree where many of the workers excavating the tombs were buried alive. To many of these buried souls, this was preferable to enduring another moment of conversation with a man who could literally bore rock. After being forcibly ejected from dig sites all across Shurima and months spent deep underground with long-dead princes, Yorick decided that he too desired to be buried in the sands.
He dug deep into the bedrock to craft his own shadowed mausoleum, and there he interred himself within a lightless tomb, intending to pass the aeons in splendid isolation. And so Yorick slept beneath the desert until Karthus and Kayle prised open his tomb. The two singers did nothing to disabuse Yorick of the idea that aeons hadpassed and that all who desired him dead were, themselves, now dead.
Let There Be Rock Let There Be Rock
The entombment of Mordekaiser beneath the mountain of Freljord had inspired Sona, and while the other members of the band split to the far corners of Runeterra in despair, she was consumed with the desire to craft soaring, symphonic rock operas. She toured the grandest temples of the world (and beyond), but none of the acoustics were powerful enough to satisfy Sona’s need for the most cosmically resonant sounds. The great glacier temples of the Freljord were now denied her, so Sona took ship with the doomed crew of the Serpent’s Feast to a series of volcanic islands in uncharted waters east of Bilgewater.
The dread crew swiftly departed as Sona set up her keyboards and began to sculpt the island with sonic brutality. She played the very notes of creation and dragged volcanic islands from the depths as they rained lava to form titanic organ pipes to further magnify Sona’s playing. So powerful were her notes that they travelled between worlds and sank entire continents (a planned gig in Atlantis had to be cancelled). Encircled by mighty volcanoes, Sona set the sky ablaze with hellfire dragged from the heart of the planet. Yet, as awesome as it was, her playing needed more. It needed the demonic wailing of unearthly guitars and the quaking thunder of drums and bass.
Destroyer Destroyer
Though it went against every instinct he possessed, Olaf did not stay and die under the mountain with Mordekaiser. With Yorick heading south, Olaf’s favourite drinking partner was gone. So, to mourn his survival of what he always believed was to be his final performance, he sought to drink himself to death with the deadliest booze of Runeterra. He found a fellow named Gragas, and ended up in the depths of Zaun with him, drinking potent sump cocktails, bragging of his glory days and daring chem-jacked thugs to take him on.
He readily found ways in which to ply his trade as a professional hitter of things, and soon found himself embroiled in underground golem fight-clubs. Up against chem-powered golems, Olaf found his natural talent for pounding drums was also good for pounding mechanical giants to pieces. He sought out the most dangerous opponents in fight after fight, eventually falling under the metal hammer of Drago, one of Viktor’s most lethal creations. Just as his foe was about to deliver the deathblow, a piercing wail shattered the crystalline globe containing the golem’s transplanted brain. Bellowing in rage at this denial of death, Olaf surged to his feet, ready to pound again. He found himself face to skull with his old lead singer.
Rust in Peace Rust in Peace
When the mountain fell on Mordekaiser, he took it as a sign from the Gods of Metal that his demonically-ordained task to bring metal to the masses was done, that he had achieved full Metal. His power chords had so shredded the very fabric of the world that the universe smote him with a mountain. A fitting end to the high priest of metal.
But Mordekaiser knew he would be reborn, rising from the molten ruins of the fallen peak as the once and future king of metal. But as time passed, his wait became a slumber. The crushing mountain was shunned by those who lived in its dark shadow, an evil peak of black metal and cursed rock. Upon its highest summit, the gleaming, obsidian haft of a snarling axe protruded from the rock. Legends grew around this cursed place, legends telling that whosoever drew the axe from the mountain would be the one to reunite the heralds of a new age of metal.
When the mountain finally shuddered and fell, a brazen god of rock was revealed. As Mordekaiser rose to meet the giant who had drawn the axe from the rock, he saw his old bandmates accompanied by a fiery, hellion-valkyrie from beyond. Karthus held out his axe, its razor strings shivering with anticipation.
