lyrics

Signs engraved in
bark (of) robust tree
knifes sticked under the
names of us

Blood or water,
will show who's out there
whose path has ended
and so had his life

My faerytale has gone,
the blood of us is one

Where
once was the fight
I gave you my heart,
gave you half of my ring,
evil under the sun
has
taken our love
due possession and lust
carry in mind I will wait
till you come

I had a dream,
about a realm,
covered with black
drapery
Had a fight
with beast so grim
flames lashing
so high
We lived in luck
love in my heart,
before I've seen the mystic
land from my sight
with curse so dark that even green
took another path

There's a hill,
where demons sleep,
where no birds sing,
from there's no return,
no sun nor light
a witch so sly
no life after the nightfall

I'm sitting closely
to the fire,
beasts on my side
wolf, bear and lion

Talking to the
demon, witch is
tempting my doom
by turn to stone

Véhémence - Par le Sang Versé
by Véhémence

supported by 7 fans who also own “Maid, Dragon, Brothers's Blood and Wood so Cursed”

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 “Maid, Dragon, Brothers's Blood and Wood so Cursed”

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.

Blind Guardian esque massive modern power metal. 20 years in the making, this record is a lot to absorb. Give it repeated spins! last vinyl before doomsday
