Our first fur-length album released on Apple Music and Spotify: 9/1/2024
@victishonormusic


Victis Honor is ready to make waves with their debut EP, Fur Release! This one-of-a-kind band delivers a fierce blend of experimental progressive metal and art-rock, culminating in a sound they’ve coined “Pawgressive Arf-Meowtal". Every note from Victis Honor speaks to their passion for both music and a noble mission: supporting animals in need.

At the helm of this powerhouse is Sadie, who leads the charge with her unforgettable Lead Woofs. Pudge takes the spotlight on lead guitar, shredding with electrifying Arfs. PJ’s signature Growls and sound effects add depth, while Baxter’s Howls and rhythm guitar keep the energy high. And even though Pablo may be hard to find and likely napping somewhere, his basslines magically appear just in time to hold the band together—because what’s a band without a little bass mystery? Micho drives the rhythm on drums, and Jilly Bean’s soulful Lead Meows on piano tie it all up, with a little help from the harmonious Kit-E Street Band - featuring kittens Joey, Thoey,and Kamala on backing meows.

Behind the scenes, Jerry Berry brings the band’s vision to life as their musical director, shaping the distinct sound of Victis Honor. With a deep understanding of each member’s unique personality, Berry artfully weaves together Sadie’s commanding Woofs with PJ’s growling intensity, blending Jilly Bean’s melodic piano lines with Pudge’s fiery guitar riffs. Under his direction, the band’s sound balances chaotic energy with meticulous precision, crafting a style that pushes the boundaries of metal and rock. Together, they’ve created something entirely original in Fur Release—a harmonious yet powerful expression that sets the standard for the Pawgressive Arf-Meowtal scene.

Fur Release captures the band’s perfect balance of humor, passion, and musicianship. But this EP isn’t just about great music—Victis Honor donates all proceeds to animal rescue organizations and shelters. Their name, which means "Honor to the Vanquished," reflects their deep respect for resilience, making this project about much more than just the notes they play.

With Fur Release, Victis Honor is here to shake up the music scene while making a difference, one song and one pawprint at a time. Listen, share, and help support a worthy cause through the power of music.

Jerry's Berries (Instrumental Version Preview)

Verse 1:
Fast asleep, you lie in your bed. He’s not in your closet, he’s in your head.
Try to escape, but it’s too late. He’s coming for you, it is your fate.

Pre-Chorus:
He wants you dead, he wants your soul, it’s not up to you, it’s out of your control.
Spare my life, oh please, god no!
(Attempt to leave; you may try, but you must remember I’m right behind)

Chorus:
Take me home, please god, no, and I don’t want to die today.
Take me home, please god, no, and I don’t want to die today.

Verse 2:
Now you try to run away, you think you’re safe, but you’re here to stay.
Keep on running, it makes him smile. He’s two steps away, you foolish child

Pre-Chorus:
He wants you dead, he wants your soul, it’s not up to you, it’s out of your control.
Spare my life, oh please, god no!
(Attempt to leave; you may try, but you must remember I’m right behind)
Chorus:
Take me home, please god, no, and I don’t want to die today.
Take me home, please god, no, and I don’t want to die today.

Coda:
One, two, he came for you.
Three, four, should have locked the door.
Five, six, here’s your crucifix.
Seven, eight, it’s too late.
Nine, ten, I’m comin’ again!

Chorus:
Take me home, please god, no, and I don’t want to die today.
Take me home, please god, no, and I don’t want to die today.

A Nightmare on Elm Street (2024 Single)

Verse 1:
Amidst the foliage, where secrets hide, 
You can hear the calls, far and wide 
Mysteries untold, within these trees. 
Nature’s laws he defies with ease.

Verse 2:
Raised by the apes, strength untamed, 
A king without a crown, ferity ingrained. 
Nature’s own child; one with the beasts
Focused on survival as he swings from the trees.

Chorus Chants:
(Ungawa)
(Ungawa)
(Ungawa)
(Ungawa)

Verse 3:
Crashing through branches, in the still of the night.
Vine after vine, and endless flight.
Creatures are watching, hidden away.
Some of them, flee, and others want him as prey.

Chorus:
In the heart of the jungle, where the wild ones play. 
(Ungawa)
Lives a man who became a human stray.
(Ungawa)
Swinging from the vines with the wind at his back.
(Ungawa)
Answers calls of the wild on the untamed track.
(Ungawa)

Chorus Chants:
(Ungawa)
(Ungawa)
(Ungawa)
(Ungawa)
 
Verse 4:
In her eyes, his world collides.
A feeling so real, it’s bona fide
With each beat, his heart sings, Jane
He can’t take it anymore, he’s going insane
Chorus:
In the heart of the jungle, where the wild ones play. 
(Ungawa)
Lives a man who became a human stray.
(Ungawa)
Swinging from the vines with the wind at his back.
(Ungawa)
Answers calls of the wild on the untamed track.
(Ungawa)

Bridge:
He cannot, say goodbye.
Love so true, he can’t deny.
Once primeval, his instincts displaced.
For her love, he’s opened the space.

In his heart, with great aplomb.
adoration, nature becalmed. 
Now he realizes where to go.
With her, he knows, he’ll grow.

Verse 5:
Apeman and Jane, their future sown. 
Hearts entwined, they’ll never be alone.
As the curtain falls, the jungle sleeps.
the quiet of the wild, where love runs deep.

Chorus:
In the heart of the jungle, where the wild ones play.
(Ungawa)
Lives a man who became a human stray.
(Ungawa)
Swinging from the vines with the wind at his back.
(Ungawa)
Answers calls of the wild on the untamed track.
(Ungawa)

In the heart of the jungle, where the wild ones play.
(Ungawa)
Lives a man who became a human stray.
(Ungawa)
Swinging from the vines with the wind at his back.
(Ungawa)
Answers calls of the wild on the untamed track.
(Ungawa)
Outro:
Now beneath the stars, they lie, worlds merged under open sky.
From the jungle to the heart's embrace, in her love, he’s found his place.
Echoes fade into night's calm,
Hand in hand, in peace, in palm.
Jointly bound where the wild winds blow,
With, her love, his home, they grow.

Ungawa

Victis Honor (2024 Remastered)

Dedicated to the memory of Sadie, our band leader and keeper of the keys, whom we love eternally.
 
Intro/Verse 1:
I am a soul alone, pondering about death’s unknown. 
I know these thoughts aren’t right, but I just see the end in sight.
Will you save me? 

Verse 2:
In the chasm of my mind, a battle of life, undefined.
Whispers of an escape plan, yet a plea for a helping hand.
Will you save me?

Pre-Chorus:
As it comes to you, my friend, I don’t know if I’ll turn back again
I know I should eschew; I don’t want to turn my back on you.
Won’t you save me? Will you save me?

As it comes to you, my friend, I don’t know if I’ll turn back again
I know I should eschew; I don’t want to turn my back on you.
Won’t you save me? Will you save me?
 
Chorus:
As it comes, as it comes, as it comes, as it comes.
As it comes to you, my friend, my silent cries to you, I send.
Won’t you save me? Will you save me?

As it comes, as it comes, as it comes, as it comes.
As it comes to you, my friend, I’m on broken wings; I now depend.
Won’t you save me? Will you save me? Right now!

Coda:
I know, what you really want to know. 
I see what you really want to see, but I visualize, about my own demise.
I want to see this through, I want to take it.

You know the pain I keep inside.
You feel the tears that I have cried.
I’m standing at the edge of a mental precipice
Please help me. Don’t let me take it.

Please understand my heart’s silent plea,
This mental torment shackles me, and I recognize and realize, 
I want my life and should not take it as it comes.

As it Comes

As it Comes - Instrumental Version

The fur-length version's lyrics will be posted soon, and vocals will be added to the track. This song is about the heartaches fur parents experience trying to get their animals to potty. Still, the fur babies are taking forever because they are busy on their "Sniffari." The song takes a turn when it turns out that our fur babies were trolling us the whole time.

My beloved "bandmates" are a daily reminder of the importance of compassion and care for all living beings.

Victis Honor stands as a beacon of philosophical depth and sonic innovation in the modern music scene.
