sashavonkarl74 A fairly recent formation from Warsaw playing big in the melodic DM league, this is going to be a runner up for the top tier of my favourite Polish DM bands for sure... such great melodies and neck-wrecking riffs, head-banging is not optional! An impressive debut album, especially the first 4 tracks are truly remarkable! Clean vocals here and there but fits well as powerful chorus, though I could do with less in "Oracle"... Overall, a very highly recommended opus! Favorite track: The Frozen Kingdom.

Warangelic One of the best debut albums this year has to offer. Melodic death metal with a sprinkle of blackened death metal. Lots of memorable moments. Great execution. And the vocals are on point. Favorite track: Mother Of Sin.

As the empires fall from grace You struggle with your demons The morality starts to fail You go up the river We are the animals on the leash Here we don't belong No religion can set us free Hell is where we are Go up the river To meet your ghosts Where frenzied gods roam Where primordial instincts reign Follow the call Go up the river Where gods are born Follow your calling Your primordial desires Hunt for a phantom In the heart of devouring darkness On your journey life meets death Uproar meets silence Hellish hounds follow your steps On your chase for darkness We are the animals on the leash Here we don't belong None religion can set us free Hell is where we are Follow your calling Your primordial desires Hunt for a phantom In the heart of devouring darkness Follow your calling Your primordial desires Hunt for a phantom In the heart of devouring darkness Follow the call Go up the river Where frenzied gods roam Follow the call Go up the river Where frenzied gods are born Heart of darkness

Mother Of Sin 04:24
lyrics

You walk the Earth In search of something that’s real Is there anything left That can make you feel? You wander alone Seek what can get you killed But you finally come near To the mother of sin You’re sick of it all Pray to feel a thing You’re sick of it all Pray to feel anything Let the hell come and loosen our ties Let the hell come and turn us to ashes Feel the darkness crawling inside Let them show you pleasure equals pain Let them show you pleasure is pain Jesus wept Your body is torn Do you really love hell? You want to come back Feel nothing again You wander no more She seeks new flesh For you to be back Feel their blood in your veins You’re sick of it all Pray to feel a thing You’re sick of it all Pray to feel anything Let the hell come and loosen our ties Let the hell come and turn us to ashes Feel the darkness crawling inside Let them show you pleasure equals pain Let them show you pleasure is pain Demons to some angels to others Demons to some angels to others Jesus wept You are like a ghost There is no tomorrow You are like a ghost There's only pain Demons to some angels to others Demons to some angels to others Jesus wept

Grieving 05:28
lyrics

Dark of the long-forgotten moon Nights are only slightly less black By day the banished sun Circles the earth like a grieving mother On this road there are no honest men Only violence and survival On the edge of vile extinction We are just starving animals Void is whispering to me Maybe I should pull the trigger? Death is caressing me By the river A formless music for the age to come Last note on earth Called up from out of the ashes of its ruin Another day black as the cellars of hell Another day to escape from winter There is tar in the rivers Ash in the sky We grieve together with the sun Cold embrace of the winter Death fills the air We miss the long-forgotten light Light of the day Maybe I should pull the trigger? Death is caressing me By the river I'm on my knees I cough a mist of blood My weeping eyes see Grey flakes drifting down out of the blackness Another day black as the cellars of hell Another day to escape from winter There is tar in the rivers Ash in the sky We grieve together with the sun Cold embrace of the winter Death fills the air We miss the long-forgotten light Light of the day The banished sun Is grieving Dark of the long-forgotten moon Nights are only slightly less black By day the banished sun Circles the earth like a grieving mother On this road there are no honest men Only violence and survival On the edge of vile extinction We are just starving animals Grieve! There is tar in the rivers Ash is in the sky Grieve! Cold embrace of the winter Death is in the air Air is death!

Hail the oblivion The frozen kingdom Hail the abyss Hail the oblivion The frozen kingdom Hail the abyss Hail the ancient gods At the mountains Cold wind bites like a rabid dog Ancient white walls surround me My heart was frozen like a stone When I heard this dreadful crying We are nothing Ancient gods return We are nothing In this frozen realm At the mountains of madness Your deepest nightmares are real Now you can hear them crying: "Tekeli-li" At the mountains of madness Your deepest nightmares are real Now you can hear them crying: "Tekeli-li" At the mountains We found the mutilated corpses None of us has heard their screams All our companions slaughtered By formless divinity At the mountains of madness Your deepest nightmares are real Now you can hear them crying: "Tekeli-li" At the mountains of madness Your deepest nightmares are real Now you can hear them crying: "Tekeli-li" Hail the oblivion The frozen kingdom Hail the abyss Hail the ancient gods "Tekeli-li" "Tekeli..." "Tekeli-li" "Tekeli..." "Tekeli-li" At the mountains of madness Your deepest nightmares are real Now you can hear them crying: "Tekeli-li" At the mountains of madness Your deepest nightmares are real Now you can hear them crying: "Tekeli-li" Hail the oblivion The frozen kingdom Hail the abyss "Tekeli-li"

The Oracle 04:48
lyrics

Burning shrine The wrath of gods Will they ever Know what I have done? I count my faults against the angry gods Their punishment is always violent I try to grab the fate in my own hands The oracle is old, blind and deaf In her eyes of scorn and falseness I seek answers to my fate Through the water, earth and fire I roam to find the threads I roam to find the threads I count my faults against the angry gods Their punishment is always violent I try to grab the fate in my own hands The oracle is old, blind and deaf In her eyes of scorn and falseness I seek answers to my fate Through the water, earth and fire I roam to find the threads Every empire shall be raised On the ashes of a burning home And no empire can be raised Without the tears of grieving mothers Without the tears of grieving mothers Without the tears of mothers In her eyes of scorn and falseness I seek answers to my fate Through the water, earth and fire I roam to find the threads Eternal travel Through the valley of our past To find my brothers I have to shape the sky tonight We are believers We may never see the light (Never see the light) We are the sinners We will be judged by foreign gods Hungry foreign gods No, we will never see the light Mistaken sinners Will we be ever judged by the gods? Are we the real believers?

Sail Sail Stay away Sail Sail Stay away Our hearts are frozen to the core Kill or be killed - there is no other law Every being is afraid to die It just seeks a way to survive Snow is painted red Ice is crawling Snow is painted red Ice is hunting us down This barren land will hunt us down One after another This barren land will hunt us down One by one Snow is painted red We are imprisoned where the world ends Snow is painted red We will never find our way home White devil whispers in the darkness Opens up the gates of hell Our souls stoke the eternal pyre Bones are all that remains Stories and myths Are all that remains This barren land will hunt us down One after another This barren land will hunt us down One by one Snow is painted red We are imprisoned where the world ends Snow is painted red We will never find our way home We will never come back home Shadows of my life Haunt me in the deadly cold Myths of this frozen land Lurk in the dark Can’t even feel the pain Maybe I should use the gun To end this misery today White devil whispers in the darkness Opens up the gates of hell Our souls stoke the eternal pyre Bones are all that remains Snow is painted red We are imprisoned where the world ends Snow is painted red We will never find our way home Snow is painted red Flesh is nothing Snow is painted red Only myths remain

We see thy life of sin Thou fall away from holy Lord All thy thoughts, we hear All thy words, they stink We punish and we kill Condemn who wants to touch the sun Through Devil’s eyes, thou seek The Devil’s lies, thou drink For, behold, the darkness Covers the earth Abomination Like fire and brimstone, thou smell Through the darkest night We carry the light of faith to thee The Devil’s lies We won’t let them in Through the fog, through the storm We all are dancers in the dark Through the pain, through the cold Humanity untold Fear among the sinners The punishment, we are Don’t let the Enlightenment Lead us from the dark Don’t let the Enlightenment Lead us from the dark The punishment, we are The judgement made of lies Quia ecce tenebræ operient terram Et caligo populos Super te autem orietur Dominus Et gloria ejus in te videbitur In the name of God We carry the punishment to thee The Devil’s lies Are everything we hear Through the fog, through the storm We all are dancers in the dark Through the pain, through the cold Humanity untold Fear among the sinners The punishment, we are Don’t let the Enlightenment Lead us from the dark Don’t let the Enlightenment Lead us from the dark The punishment, we are The judgement made of lies Quia ecce tenebræ operient terram Et caligo populos Super te autem orietur Dominus Et gloria ejus in te videbitur For, behold, the darkness Covers the earth Abomination Like fire and brimstone, thou smell The truth was like cold water It has been creeping in the shades Now, when I've awakened I whip myself with shame Enlightened in the desert I slowly start to drown in fear I can see the madness Won’t disappear Madness spreads Now I can see It won’t disappear I whip myself I drown in fear Enlightened I whip myself I fear Enlightened I whip myself I drown in fear

Older than God Ancient remains Cold lust for blood I lurk in the dark Waiting for my prey Out of the abyss Into the black light Shadows are my slaves I am the night Out of the abyss Into the black light Shadows will remain Eternally alive You are A feast for the crows She used to be mine Now death is my cage Enemy of the sun Addicted to pain I seduce and derange Out of the abyss Into the black light Shadows are my slaves I am the night Out of the abyss Into the black light Shadows will remain Alive Craving for her cold body For the oceans of blood Craving for her cold body I dream about the forgotten light I am the night I am the night You are A feast for the crows You are A feast for the crows You are A feast for the crows You are A feast for the crows Craving for her cold body For the oceans of blood Craving for her cold body I dream about the forgotten light I am the night I am the night I crave for the light I crave for the light
