BIOGRAGRAPY
What started as a bunch of teenage San Diegan Slayer/Manowar fans writing songs about Skelator taking over the world has turned into a bunch of 20 something year old Rainbow/Sabbath fans writing songs about their favorite fantasy books. The band has stayed true to itself through the years writing epic songs, and rock anthems. We are not a joke, but we also know how to have fun. Bands that take themselves too seriously bore us. But bands that don't play from the heart should be destroyed, this is our decree.

Skelator Lyrics

(Jason Conde-Houston)
Castle Erorn has been raised
The Vadhagh folk are dead
The Mabden gloat in victory
It�s a raping and killing spree
Corum the last of his people
Glandyth Krae I will have my vengeance
I will seal your doom
Beware the Tide of Fear
The Vadhagh sheds his tears
Corum raise your arms and fight
The Coming of Chaos
Granted by sorcery
Corum recieves his gifts
The hand of Kwyll the eye of Rhynn
Relics of the Dead gods
He summons the dead from the nether realm
He wields his sword of steel
Lords of Chaos beware
The Prince in the Scarlet robe
I saw my people
Raped, lynched and killed
Glandyth Krae
My vengeance will be fulfilled
Lords of Law
Let me be your messenger, let me be your blade
I will fight till death, or put the mabden in their graves
Lords of Chaos
Beware my power, beware my strength
The Knight, The Queen and the King of Swords
Swords, Swords, SWORDS!!!!
The Final battle here
The Chaos banner soars
Barbarians and demi-gods
Behold the Chaos horde
Eldren warriors in their skyships
Lay magic missles on the enemy
Lords of law we call upon thee
Screaming our war cry!!!
Beware the Tide of Fear
The Vadhagh sheds his tears
Corum raise your arms and fight
Ride to victory, Death to Entropy
Corum raise your arms and fight
The Coming of Chaos�
The song "The Coming of Chaos" by Skelator tells the story of Corum, the last of his people, seeking vengeance for the destruction of his homeland by the Mabden. The lyrics paint a picture of a world in chaos, where Castle Erorn has been destroyed, the Vadhagh people are dead, and the Mabden are reveling in their victory by raping and killing indiscriminately. Corum is left tortured and abandoned, but still determined to seek revenge against his enemies, particularly Glandyth Krae, who is responsible for the destruction of his home.
However, Corum is not alone in his fight for vengeance. He is granted gifts of sorcery, including the hand of Kwyll and the eye of Rhynn, which allow him to summon the dead and wield a superior sword of steel. He calls upon the lords of law and chaos alike to join him in battle against the tide of fear, chaos, and entropy that threatens to engulf the world. The final battle is depicted as a clash of barbarians, demi-gods, and Eldren warriors in their skyships. The songs end with Corum rallying his forces to victory, seeking vengeance for his fallen people and the destruction of his homeland.
