Paul Allender‘s WHITE EMPRESS is back with their new 4K cinematic horror film “Revenant”, produced by Era Horrificus Films, now premiering worldwide on Metal Shock Finland, Watch below.
Metal Shock Finland’s CEO/Founder/President Tarja Virmakari states:
“What a pleasure and honour to premiere this badass horror film for this wicked Halloween! Check out White Empress‘ “Revenant”, enter your worst nightmares, and let the demonology, witchcraft and possession commence!”
Read what Paul Allender tells about the film concept:
“I got very bored with the usual band stuff, to me everything sounds the same, there’s nothing different at all out there, a band has a singer and musicians etc… boring. Empress has gone down the horror audiobook route with cinematic film. There’s no singing on the music anymore, it’s all narration but with atmosphere and passion in all the right places. The Revenant track is narrated from the priest point of view, whereas the album and next full film will have various voice actors to bring out the the story that will be the prequel of the revenant concept.
“It’s taken over a year to get this track and film to where it is today, but with the love of music, film and creating new things it’s finally here. There were a lot of obstacles to overcome but the new direction is finally out. I wanted to create something musically different with a visual that will enhance the atmosphere so i decided to go down the horror film route.
Revenant is about two families, centuries old, at war. The concept is that one of the families, common poor folk, two sons and a father with nothing to lose who murder to make a living. The other, a religious family, a daughter and a father who run the town’s church and will do anything to please their lord.
One night, sons of the common folk, on a drunken rampage break into the house of the religious family and rape the daughter while her father was away. Upon returning, her father (the priest in the film) is stricken with such anger and hatred he will stop at nothing to get his revenge. His faith is lost after this tragic event by wondering how can his god can turn on him like this, and feels betrayed.
Turning to the dark arts to get his revenge, he summons a demon to possess the common family, but not for just one night. The curse is for all eternity such as, all the members are killed but only one son is left. The curse is triggered once a son is born and comes of age. Once the son has a boy child the curse destroys everyone he loves and only the boy child is left.
This curse goes on forever and only leaves one family member, which in turn will wipe out all family history and leaving one solitary being alone and historyless.
Think about how alone and paranoid you would be if you were the only person in your entire family and knowing one day, if you were to meet someone, have a baby and it was a boy that you would be next sent to hell.”

REVENANT -narration:
Twas a soundless leaden eve where clouds draped oppressively
In forgotten fields of wistful history
There, my path from the light began
From one of fervent faith to one of bitter rivalry
Our journey starts from despairs of the soul, equated to no mortal sensation
More suitably sustained from lips prayed, in pious desperation
My vengeance was ripe among sacred stars
And holy sacraments cast down to sicken all, fashioned from the words of faith
My pestilent dominion poured forth, and rots the earth
Bonfires, infernal towers craving corpses
Pyre dead and torrid, a writhing anathema
And by holy hand, in forsaking my humanity
Kindled flesh of the damned
We chant this verses to bind their souls…
Yolcam Gmicalz Vovina
Bring forth the power from below
Yolcam Gmicalz Vovina
Yolcam Gmicalz Vovina
Exalted words uttered from the nether
Yolcam Gmicalz Vovina
By scornful heavens, it is done!
The twelfth hour chimed upon moonlit night as embers kissed the cold
Where crimes befit the punishment, as shrieking choirs gather
And much like the hour death was kept in contempt’s bitter ledger
A ghostly presence comes to claim the sinful mortals
From halls of bone gray smiles
Turning dreams to haunted afterthought
Like the buried stench of decay will rise
When inverted crosses pointed northward
But I recall that dreadful eve…
Within my stately manor trespassed two sons of jealousy
And forced naked austere flesh of my daughters so adored
Raped and ravaged to death their frail forms
And upon this discovery, grace fell from our once great house, as Stygian pacts were formed
For I knew not was possessed me but from there, morbid shadows grew
Enshrouded in curses pouring fourth from the all things, as the festering wound
My power grew to inhuman meaning
And invoked genocide rites from tongues still seething
As we herald the plague through the centuries
An ever reaching death-brand on all their progenies
Nevermore!
The unearthed bones cannot be interred
Nevermore!
A curse upon their house spoken in dead speeches
Nevermore!
Shall their lustful deeds reign unjudged
Nevermore!
Heretic spirits will come undone
Rise…Fulfill our pact
And take that which has been taken from me
She comes for you now, in ways no mortal eyes were meant to see
Hear the words as they echo in ethereal screams
Yolcam Gmicalz Vovina
Bring forth the power from below
Yolcam Gmicalz Vovina
Yolcam Gmicalz Vovina
Exalted words uttered from the nether
Yolcam Gmicalz Vovina
By scornful heavens, it is done!
Madness….
A haze possess thee
Tragic…
When she comes to take you from farthest reaches
And this…
Your doom etched in prophecy
Unfortunate…
Your sacrificed you cannot escape
Farewell…descend to a place only the dead would know
Chosen son in perdition’s unity
These are the accounts and confessions scribed by dying light
For there but little time left before the white empress,
She who is death itself, comes to claim another
I am sorry my child, this is your fate…
You, who are bound to cancered aura
Entombed in the arms of a nameless horror
Weeping within the body no longer your own
Death throes in the abyss
And left to perish alone…
