- A defunct progressive metalcore band from Brighton, UK, who released an EP 'One Hundred'. Centurion made quite a mark on their home turf and beyond, swinging their hefty, death plated punch at the heads of grateful punters nationwide at shows alongside their aforementioned townsmen, as well as the likes of Horse The Band, Ephel Duath and Every Time I Die. Centurion also toured as main support to acclaimed British crew Bring Me The Horizon, and were flown over to Sweden to play at the 2006 Treasurefest alongside the likes of Purified In Blood and Jeniferever.

Centurion offered up a thick stew of hyper-aggressive riffing and mammoth grooves, splicing the mix with flashes of accomplished technicality and vehement vocal bile, yet the quintet manage to retain an irresistible mood of energy and, dare it be said, fun in their live performance.

With press plaudits already flowing and a solid fanbase built, Centurion raised their game, their r debut E.P ‘One Hundred’ an unrelenting metallic drama that swings between ferocious and epic with a masterful ease. ‘One Hundred’ caught the attention of respected UK label In At The Deep End (Gallows, Architects, Send More Paramedics), and the label will be unleashing the E.P in early 2007. Centurion also hit the road again in January as support to Japanese metalcore crew Versus The Night, and opened for hometown compadres Architects and Canadian newcomers The Gorgeous on selected dates of their UK trek.

Guns Are Screaming
Centurion Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Guns are screaming
It must be law exploding all the balls
for running blood
Drawn out of anger don't fear the war
Steel kiss of guns unchains my dynamo

I'm chromium plated rebel
like storm I'm coming

to neutralyze again
The leather I wear is to kill
Like whirlwind by wings of steel
I'll rise from fogs of Hell

Guns are screaming straight out of Hell
My father is the pain and my mother
is the suffering
Through blood by thunder take Latin steel
Your children will cry on other knees

Guns are screaming!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Centurion’s song Guns Are Screaming are quite violent and intense. The opening line, “Guns are screaming,” sets the tone for the rest of the song. The next line, “it must be law exploding all the balls,” suggests that the use of guns and violence is necessary to maintain order and power. The line “for running blood” is particularly gruesome, as it seems to suggest that the use of guns results in bloody violence. However, the singer of the song seems to revel in this violence and “steel kiss of guns unchains my dynamo.” This suggests that the singer is energized by the sight of guns and the use of violent force.

The next stanza provides insight into the singer’s identity. He is a “chromium plated rebel” who is like a “storm” that is coming to “neutralize” something. This suggests that the singer is someone who opposes or rebels against some form of authority or regime. The leather he wears is also a symbol of aggression and violence, and he claims that he wears it “to kill.” The line “like whirlwind by wings of steel” is particularly striking, as it seems to suggest that the singer is capable of great destruction and violence.

The third stanza is particularly gruesome, as it suggests that the singer’s parents are both pain and suffering, and that “guns are screaming straight out of Hell.” The final line of the song, “guns are screaming!” reinforces the violent and intense nature of the song.
