Century (American band)

Century is an American metalcore band formed in 2005 by multi-instrumentalist/ArmsBendBack guitarist Carson Slovak. Century was originally conceived as a solo project, but later evolved into a complete band. Slovak writes all of Century's music, and designs all of the artwork and merchandise. In 2005 the band signed a contract with Tribunal Records. On February 7, 2006, Century released its first studio album, Faith and Failure through Tribunal Records. This album saw Carson Slovak as guitarist and producer joined by Mike Guiliano (guitar), Huggie (bass) and Grant McFarland (drums). Before the album was released, McFarland left to focus more on his current band This or the Apocalypse and was replaced by new drummer Matthew Smith.

In February 2009, it was announced that McFarland had rejoined the band, along with new additions: bassist Ricky Armellino (also of This or the Apocalypse), and additional guitarist Todd Mogle. The band has begun work on the follow-up to Black Ocean, which was released in April 2008.

    Caber is one of the Celtic gods of Avalon, a warrior god. The character, created by Tom DeFalco and Ron Frenz, first appeared in Thor #398 (Dec. 1988).

    Caber joined his friend Leir and the other Celtic gods in aiding the Asgardians in their battle against the forces of the Egyptian god Seth. With Leir, Caber next attacked the camp of the Fomorians, the traditional enemies of Avalon. Leir wished to claim Sif as his bride, so Caber followed him to Asgard on Leir's request. Caber and Leir were captured by the Warriors Three. Caber clashed with Heimdall in Asgard, and then later arrived on Earth with Leir and Sif. Caber, Leir, and Sif then traveled to the Black Galaxy and found Thor there. The gods then traveled to Asgard. Caber, Leir, and Hercules then battled Surtur and Ymir. Caber then witnessed Leir's defeat in Leir's duel with Sif.

    Caber possesses the typical powers of a member of the race of superhumans known as the Celtic gods of Avalon. This includes superhuman strength, speed, durability, stamina, and reflexes, and an extremely long lifespan.

    Melancholic Light

    by: Century

    It`s like I always lived in this melancholic light
    It`s like I never said nohing more, than ironic lies
    It`s like I never found myself in you to know
    It`s like I never felt noone but myself
    But now, these two hearts are falling
    Into that sacred light, that sacred love forevermore
    And there`s no doubt, these two hearts are falling
    To go this far, to be whole forevermore
    It`s like you always flew over me, so high above
    It`s like you never touched, something you adore enough
    It`s like you never trust the way we try to go
    It`s like you never trust noone but yourself
    But now, these two hearts are falling
    Into that sacred light, that sacred love forevermore
    And there`s no doubt, these two hearts are falling
    To go this far, to be whole forevermore
    It`s like I always fight with this melancholic lie
    It`s like I`m always sad, even when I'm satisfied
    It`s like I never find myself in me to know
