lyrics

Long time ago, as the life has flowed
I raised from dream, that became so real
The day has come, and I saw your face
Deep in my heart, there was no empty space

The time has crawled, in the ruins of thoughts
As we walked in snow, our hands were bound
The Spirits of the blessing trees,
Remaining stars within the centuries

I stray in fear, wiped away the tears
With the rising sun, in the morning breeze
We stand alone, many years have gone
Till the moment of our day has come

From entrails and waves,
from rimrocks, and uplands,
breaks over the wrath of
ancient gods, sad their fays

Magic their realm,
opens the gates,
armies of monsters march
(to) destroy, to defense

Come into the lands of the light
It comes the night without the stars
and trees whisper together

Come and see what hands of man have done
And hear the sing(ing) of birds has gone
As dark spirits we will rapture

Véhémence - Par le Sang Versé
by Véhémence

supported by 7 fans who also own “Last MMIV”

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 “Last MMIV”

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.
