The Awakening
05:35
|
|||
|
In a tumbling world standing close
To the abyss once again
Everything feels dull
Darkness reigns within
Day and night merge together
A neverending nightmare
Depression spreads
Malediction of these times
Loosen the grip of damnation
Lift the veil and rise again
Realize you´re not alone
To create a new reality
Welcome the awakening
The dawning of a new tomorrow
Welcome the awakening
The rise of the new world order
The modern state of Middle Ages
Will crumble and fall in ruins
The die is cast
As the marionettes cut their strings
Welcome the awakening
The dawning of a new tomorrow
Welcome the awakening
The rise of the new world order
False prophets
Fake beliefs
Mesmerized you
Far too long
Wake up, stand up
Fight for and free
Your mind, your heart
Your thoughts, your soul
Truth will overcome the guess
Knowledge will overcome belief
Rigid dogmas wiped away
By tolerance and empathy
Welcome the awakening
The dawning of a new tomorrow
Welcome the awakening
The rise of the new world order

To Become The Wolf
04:26
|

Those peaceful times
I can´t remember anymore
Where have they gone?
Are they forever lost?
Those times before
In their eyes I became
A sheep
An easy prey
Humiliation
Exploitation
Diremption
The time has come
Recollection
Transformation
Satisfaction
The time is now to become the wolf
I still see their faces
Full of scorn
When they´ve feasted on
My weakness
I still hear their laughter
Echoing in my mind
Those are the wounds
That barely heal
I will never be the sheep again
As I now become the wolf
A relentless predator on silent paws
I won´t forget, I won´t forgive
Prowling in the dark
A nightmare unchained
Retaliation
Is on its way
I will show no mercy
In that blink of an eye
When I will
Hunt you down
Humiliation
Exploitation
Diremption
The time has come
Recollection
Transformation
Satisfaction
The time is now to become the wolf

Terra Combusta

Go!
We demand to be the
Pride of creation
Wise and superior
But we only are ignorant peasants
With respect to the greater good
We fight a war against our own race
The world we know will cease to be
Humans killing humanity
Famine and plagues
Misery and poverty
Man killing mankind
A few decide
But all will suffer
Mass killing capacity
Weapons and war
No hope for cure
Was lange währt, wird endlich tot!
The world will burn
Nuclear fire
Will turn all life to ash
Devastate, annihilate
Creation is at stake when
The apocalypse is close at hand
What will remain at the final end?
Just a lifeless rock within the endless void
Humans killing humanity
Man killing mankind
Mass killing capacity
Weapons and war
No hope for cure
Das Leben stirbt, der Mensch spielt Gott!
The world will burn
The world will burn
Aaaaaaahhhhhh

The Shores Of I
05:31
|
|||
|
Black and heavy clouds
Darken the skies
Swallowing every light
Announcing the coming storm
The thunder roars, the lightning strikes
It´s time to set the sails
Enter the boat without a crew
The ocean calls your name
It´s time to fully trust yourself
There´s nothing to lose
You missed so many chances
Again and again and again
Hold fast, stay strong
Follow the ocean´s call
Be brave, explore
The shores of I
There will be voices of doubt soaring in the air
There will be sirens´ charms - ignore them all!
You had so many questions, go forth and ask them again
The answers lie beyond your old horizon
Hold fast, stay strong
Follow the ocean´s call
Be brave, explore
The shores of I
Don´t try to tame the seas, but ride the waves
The winds and floods will take you from coast to coast
And every shore you´ll find will reveal a truth about you
Those are the shores of I

Hound Of Hades
04:48
|
|||
|
At the end of all your days
Among the living
When your final breath is done
You will descend towards
The realm of Hades
Where soul and flesh part ways
But beware the beast
That secures
The threshold to the netherworld
The hound of Hades – the guardian of hell
The hound of Hades – the guardian of hell
Salivating venom
With deadly fangs he waits
Three-headed servant
To the god of doom
No one alive shall enter
No one dead shall leave
This world below
Of eternal rest
Don´t try to fool him
Unless you know how
Don´t risk your place
In Elysium
He stares into your eyes
He stares into your soul
The hound of Hades – the guardian of hell
The hound of Hades – the guardian of hell
The hound of Hades
The guardian of hell

Backstabber
04:36
|
|||
|
Flattering my doubtful self
Pretending to be my friend
You corrupt my every thought
Nauseating fatal fallacy
Thirsting for my demise
Growing from my misery
You creep into my mind
Gaining more and more control
Constantly spinning threads
Behind the facade you create
The game you play
A vicious masquerade
Your sharpened dagger at your side
Ready to stab my back
To finish me off
At my worst low
All your evil doing
Will return on you
As I now can see
Through your lies
Backstabber – you fucking lie – backstabber
Backstabber – it´s time to die – backstabber
A small core of consciousness
Left until it implodes
By all the pressure and pain
The truth will come to light
But unlike you
I will look you in the eye
As I turn and point
The blade on you
Backstabber – you fucking lie – backstabber
Backstabber – it´s time to die – backstabber
Backstabber – you fucking liar – backstabber
Backstabber – it´s time to die – backstabber
Now die!

Battlesword Viersen, Germany
Battlesword have been holding the banner of melodic death metal high since 1999 and have gained a steadily growing following
on international stages with their powerful and likeable live performance.
With the concentrated charge of energy, experience and their now distinctive own style between melodic death and Scandinavian old school they leave a trail of destruction and extensive neck pain.

Seven Crowns and Seven Seals
by Sulphur Aeon
supported by 7 fans who also own “Towards The Unknown”
Nobody does death metal quite like Sulphur Aeon. Meticulously crafted dark and brooding atmosphere that oozes with Lovecraftian horrors. This release might not be as punchy as their previous two but it’s still excellent. 8/10

A Giant Bound to Fall

This album is a huge step up from their previous one, which is saying a lot because that one was really good. I fully believe that, with this release, Eternal Storm stands on the same level as the bands they're clearly inspired by.

These California up-and-comers don't merely pay tribute to ’90s death metal; they make it their own by taking charge and letting it rip.

Culinary-themed melodic death metal outfit cook up a smorgasbord of fierce solos, tight percussion, and cheeky, foodie-approved screeds.

The Army of Gaia stormed into Switzerland a few weeks back (on tour with Vader and Vomitory) and the Greek Gods Aetherian completely overwhelmed me with joy! Damn this is good! Melodic DM masterpiece indeed! I really love all songs but am really obsessed with the first four. Can't wait to see them live on stage again soon! Fans of Rotting Christ would like these Greek guys too :)
