about
We chose 'Featherless' as the album opener, as well as the first single and video, because it introduces the theme and vibe of the album with a bang. It is fast, uplifting, and packed with riffs and hooks. We chose to shoot the video in an old, rusty, and almost spooky hotel in the centre of Athens because it sets a fitting atmosphere for the song. The lyrical concept is inspired by Homer's Odyssey, where a Siren fails to seduce Ulysses and his crew with her song, because their ears were covered with wax while Ulysses himself was tied to the ship’s mast. However, in our version, we aimed to express her point of view and her obsession with him once he managed to flee, after failing at the thing she’s destined to do by nature. It portrays a twisted kind of romance, even though her ultimate goal was to kill him!
lyrics
Homer tell my story:
My damned fate bathes in reflected glory.
Love is the devotion calling
Not a means for suffering.
Featherless I’m bound to be
Envious of you eternally.
No one has escaped the siren’s wailing
None deny me when I sing.
Carried away, I don’t know how to erase you.
Oh how I long to cut your heart in two!
Not my destiny to lose,
Still I’m sinkin’ into deeper Blues.
As your sails are fading in the sky
Let my voice soar high.
Carried away, I don’t know how to erase you.
Oh how I long to cut your heart in two!
My damned fate bathes in reflected glory.
Love is the devotion calling
Not a means for suffering.
Featherless I’m bound to be
Envious of you eternally.
No one has escaped the siren’s wailing
None deny me when I sing.
Carried away, I don’t know how to erase you.
Oh how I long to cut your heart in two!
Not my destiny to lose,
Still I’m sinkin’ into deeper Blues.
As your sails are fading in the sky
Let my voice soar high.
Carried away, I don’t know how to erase you.
Oh how I long to cut your heart in two!

This Sceptred Veil
by Sergeant Thunderhoofsupported by 66 fans who also own “Featherless”
What can I say? Well, I don't like rock music I'm more reggae and soul oriented. The last rock album I purchased was Rainbows Down To Earth and it was around 1980 I just don't like rock, well I didn't think I did BUT I just listened to Sergeant Thunderhoof and WOW I'm a fan of rock music again. I've listened to 3 albums and decided to buy The Sceptred Veil. It wasn't an easy decision due to an excellent back catalogue, but I feel this is a standout piece. I recommended them to my Son also.
