lyrics
Through whirlwinds and lightning
The raven banners proudly fly
Our ships carve through the waves
As the hammer cracks the sky
Our foes have seen the omens
They tremble and fear our wrath
Never shall they know peace
While the ravens guide our path
(chorus)
Above our swords
The raven banners fly
Our foes do tremble
They know their end is nigh
We have reached the enemy shore
And embark with sword and shield
Stride through cold morning mist
Our foes fate is already sealed
We storm towards the monastery
The bells ring in fear and dismay
The monks soon to meet their doom
While the ravens guide our way
(chorus)
Above our swords
The raven banners fly
Our gods we honour
Let all hear our battle cry
"Summa pia gratia nostra conservando corpora et cutodita, de gente fera Normannica nos libera, quae nostra vastat, Deus, regna"
Their book shall not save them
They pray to their god in vain
No mercy for those of the lie
Their puny lives now end in pain
Our foes all enslaved or slain
For the glory of our gods so great
Forever We stand in defiance proud
While the ravens guide our fate
(chorus)
Above our swords
The raven banners fly
This victory we give
To He who sits in hall up high
He who sits in hall up high
He who sits in hall up high
The raven banners proudly fly
Our ships carve through the waves
As the hammer cracks the sky
Our foes have seen the omens
They tremble and fear our wrath
Never shall they know peace
While the ravens guide our path
(chorus)
Above our swords
The raven banners fly
Our foes do tremble
They know their end is nigh
We have reached the enemy shore
And embark with sword and shield
Stride through cold morning mist
Our foes fate is already sealed
We storm towards the monastery
The bells ring in fear and dismay
The monks soon to meet their doom
While the ravens guide our way
(chorus)
Above our swords
The raven banners fly
Our gods we honour
Let all hear our battle cry
"Summa pia gratia nostra conservando corpora et cutodita, de gente fera Normannica nos libera, quae nostra vastat, Deus, regna"
Their book shall not save them
They pray to their god in vain
No mercy for those of the lie
Their puny lives now end in pain
Our foes all enslaved or slain
For the glory of our gods so great
Forever We stand in defiance proud
While the ravens guide our fate
(chorus)
Above our swords
The raven banners fly
This victory we give
To He who sits in hall up high
He who sits in hall up high
He who sits in hall up high

Phantasmhassgorie
by BlackdeathLatest album from the masters of Russian BM, with whom we had the pleasure of touring together a couple of years ago. Unique, bass-heavy BM executed with the utmost precision!

Road to Infinity (2018)
by SythThis may be the best metal album released in 2018. Very Maidenesque, but by no means a clone. If you are a metalhead, you HAVE to hear this record!

Is it rock? Punk? Metal? Who cares, it's rock & roll! DemonScar are one of those bands that have that thing so few do these days: authenticity. Anyway, they rock so check them out!

Grand Declaration of War (2018 Remaster)
by The True Mayhemsupported by 7 fans who also own “Raven Banners Fly”
Enigmatic, surprising and advangardistic through and through. Strange, fascinating and full of unforeseeable, serpentine and intricate structures. The developed atmospheres are unbelievably thick and the vocals are rich and diverse beyond imagination. I particularly like the cleans, especially those that are a little close to Jello Biafra in style. Grand Declaration of War is as challenging as it's rewarding and therefore a prime listening experience.
