lyrics

The battle has started, we’re on our way
To fight and live another day
The air out here, it’s so damn cold
It’s in my breath, it’s in my bones
This lust for blood I feel in me
Once sated will set me free
Onward into the final fight
To a world where all will be right

An eye for an eye
And blood for blood
When war is nigh
A battle is won

I’ve sharpened my sword, prepared for the war
And once tasted blood, but now I want more
The cold winter winds hold battles within
That won’t stop me now, because I must win
They gather their forces but we’ve came prepared
Only the gods will decide how we fare
With Ragnarok, Fimbulvetr comes
As bringers of war, we sound the drums

The fierce winter winds, the snow so deep
When the horns blow, our vow we must keep
We go to war not knowing what’s next
Our skill in battle now comes to the test
I see my foes upon the hill
This battle we’ll win, with pure iron will
By the sword you’ve lived your lives
And by the sword you all must die

Refreshingly crisp and brisk atmospheric black metal. Equal parts Panopticon and Summoning worship. FFO Gallowbraid and Wayfarer. porcelainheart-

Ofnir

This might be my favourite of Heilung. They've improved a bit on their later releases but their debut is still much meaner, and darker. Maria's amazing voice obviously steals the show but I also quite like Kai's too, especially on the live performance. In fact I'd say get LIFA over this IMO. The spoken word bits are really cool to hear proto-germanic in use but for relistening purposes they are going to be a bit obtrusive. Nevertheless the proper music here is on continual repeat for me.

Ever Homeward

Solid Caladan Brood worship that does a little bit of its own thing as well. Vocals are great as are the compositions, but what really shines is the storytelling. I look forward to what these guys do in the future. Hopefully more than one album! BrianoblivioN

Amazing, mighty and epic! Yet I know this is Tolkien inspired dungeon synth, it is also great as well for reading Malazan and Cosmere novels as well. Love it. Iván Delgado
