Extreme metal veterans Stalwart unveil the lyric video for “Sacrifice”, a track taken from their 7th album, “Tempvs Edax Rervm”, out now via Wormholedeath.
“Sacrifice” blends the existential dread with Stalwart’s trademark intensity. The track digs into the fear of being forgotten, following a lone figure wandering through a city that no longer sees him. Stalwart pushes the track into darker territory with lyrics that confront memory, guilt, and the weight of a past scorched by loss. It’s a raw look at a man fighting the silence that threatens to erase him, carried by the band’s signature mix of death, thrash, groove, and prog brutality.

About Tempvs Edax Rervm
Stalwart’s Tempvs Edax Rervm delves into the inexorable power of time, exploring themes of fading identity and inevitable decay as “heaven and earth have switched places.” The album distills the band’s essence—groove-driven riffs, intricate rhythms, and atmospheric layers—into a heavier, darker, and more focused continuation of their intense, precise metal sound.
