lyrics
Skill of Dwarves – Wisdom of Elves – Blood of Men
Skill of Dwarves – Wisdom of Elves – Dread of Men
Skill of Dwarves – Wisdom of Elves – Doom of Men . . .
Hear now, ye Children, the Tale I sing, of Steel forged by Witchcraft so foul.
Destined to tip the Balance of Fate and to bring Man’s World to an end . . .
Powers so much older than Man bound together Material unfit;
Three great Blades thus they brought to be, their Destiny carved in Human Skin.
A mysterious Book contains the Key; The Riddle is clear to those who may read,
yet Knowledge means Horror unbearable and more than one chose to die . . .
Three warriors of Man with Powers so great are chosen to wield the Steel of Wrath.
To Glory or Ruin, who is to tell, once the Threads of Fate are woven . . .?
After two Years of Snowstorms and Frost the Time of the Meeting draws nigh;
Bloodred the Star of the Conqueror burns its Message onto the Skies !
Behold now the desperate Host of Man, struggling to face the Horror of old . . .
Sacrifice burnt, the Blades are drawn; Who’s to live and to tell . . .
Skill of Dwarves – Wisdom of Elves – Dread of Men

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!

Панихида
by Krzysztof Drabikowskisupported by 11 fans who also own “(Hear The) Ballad Of The Swords”
La traversée du désert n'aura pas duré quarante jours mais quatre longues années... Avec Панихида, Батюшка renaît enfin de ses cendres et, bien que désormais seul (ou plus exactement entouré de deux chanteurs), Христофор accomplit un miracle. Il s'inscrit dans la continuité de Литоургиiа avec un black metal orthodoxe qui nous convie ici à une cérémonie dédiée aux morts. Sa vision est englobante : les mélodies, la gravité et le silence font toucher le paradis ; l'agressivité est luciférienne.
