Mit „The Commonwealth Lives“ veröffentlichen Thaurorod die zweite Single aus dem neuen Album „Coast Of Gold“, das ab dem 16. Februar 2018 erhältlich ist!
Ein rasanter und energiegeladener Track, bei dem sich die Band einem geschichtlichen Thema widmet – oder wie Sänger Andi erklärt: In 1644, Oliver Cromwell led his Ironsides Cavalry to victory in the battle of Marston Moor, and set in motion a movement which would end with the execution of the king. Though Cromwell’s Commonwealth only lasted 11 years, its memory would forever limit the power which any British monarch could hold over the people. The song is told through the eyes of one of Cromwell’s followers, who, though he sits imprisoned, awaiting his death, knows that his sacrifice has helped to take power from the hands of the king, to the hands of the people. Thus, the Commonwealth lives.
