lyrics

Yearning I returned to land with seeds in my heart
innocent memories
Gloomy sidehills, dark sleeves embraced by the mist
two children untouched by
fear and oppresion bites my soul when getting
closer to the mill
mystic girl with hair black like the raven dark
she's my destiny

Dance with the wolf
under the moonlight
I swallow her scowl
her soul getting hornmad
Does she remember
my love from the childhood
her place in my heart
stays ever eternal

Men getting deranged by her fairness, imma-
culate sorcery,
dealing with the devil coming from nowhere,
leaving before day
breaks, with a new dawn coming I can hear
forest whispers her
name reverberates in the valley lost
in my dreams somewhere

Freezing winds
have banished
the 10 cruel winters
down from the mountains
At the bottom of the abysm
where seeds of the hills meet
where almighty lord lives
The essence of darkness
the eyes of the wolf
light lost in fog

This is the dream
of both you and me
of two souls untouched
by the realm of mankind

Cauldron so deep
where nobody sees
the bottom, the end,
the grave of memories

There's my symphony of pain,
when your heart looks other way,
searching, running, bleeding, creeping,
your veil melts in dark away

Dreams
caught
by fear,
drown the world
grief
melts
the tears
of sorrow,
away to rims of rave

Once she was there with me,
ran to the wood in deep,
went along stealthily,
we touched the heart of nature
Fly with me,
accross declivity,
I feel you dance with me,
this will be our last time
ride

Véhémence - Par le Sang Versé
by Véhémence

supported by 7 fans who also own “Forest's Bride”

Flûtes et chants en chœur et en français… and melodic black metal with medieval “nuances”. Need I say more ? Love these guys. It’s an interesting mix of folk and BM but regardless it’s original and I will come back for more 🤘🏼 sachavonkarl74

Algleymi
by Misþyrming

supported by 6 fans who also own “Forest's Bride”

Tout est une question de perspective. En regardant la pochette d'Algleymi, on se dira : "c'est un constat d'échec de l'humanité face aux puissances cosmiques". Mais le gigantisme de cette silhouette est un signe que Misþyrming veut plutôt s'emparer de cette puissance et le black metal le confirmera très vite. Il est plus maîtrisé, massif et épique. Si le chant est déjà impressionnant, dégageant plus de haine, les guitares sont de leur côté absolument monumentales. Un chef-d'œuvre du genre ! Jordan Vauvert

I’m still more into “Sørbyen” than this one, but both albums have their merits and quirks. Alice M.
