lyrics

Out from the dark, a new force will rise
Up from the ground and under the skies
Lying in wait for so many years
Awakening now from our deepest fears
The gray grass lay cold in the misty air
Everything dead with no one to care
The last gasp of breath the trees now breathe
Can we wake up when we’re unwilling to see?

Hear
The woods cry out in pain
Lost
Are our forgotten ways
Mourn
The last of a dying age
Hearken to the sound of
The forest’s song of sorrow

Listen to whispers from long ago
Their pleas for healing ring out from the cold
Across the wastes we look for a sign
To renew the vows from an era gone by
But we laid to rest the last of the earth
No chance for revival, no hope for rebirth
The final days we’ve wasted away
And let it fall victim to death and decay

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

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.

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
