lyrics
Gods of yore I hear your voice
It’s singing in my blood
Wolves are howling your holy song
I see your faces in the stars
Gods of yore I worship you
Your images float my mind
Your temples will surely rise again
Your likeness recast in stone
Gods of yore I draw your signs
Sigils of power and might
Dormant forces awake again
Ancient steel is forged anew
Gods of yore I sing your praise
Your names ring through the air
Abandoning their modern ways
Your people turn back to you
Gods of yore I drink to you
The mead flows in your name
Ancient fires are lit again
Again we sacrifice to you
Gods of yore I’ll come to you
Your dwellings in the sky
I hail the true gods of my race
Forever I am yours
It’s singing in my blood
Wolves are howling your holy song
I see your faces in the stars
Gods of yore I worship you
Your images float my mind
Your temples will surely rise again
Your likeness recast in stone
Gods of yore I draw your signs
Sigils of power and might
Dormant forces awake again
Ancient steel is forged anew
Gods of yore I sing your praise
Your names ring through the air
Abandoning their modern ways
Your people turn back to you
Gods of yore I drink to you
The mead flows in your name
Ancient fires are lit again
Again we sacrifice to you
Gods of yore I’ll come to you
Your dwellings in the sky
I hail the true gods of my race
Forever I am yours

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 12 fans who also own “Hymn To The Gods Of Yore”
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.

Gods Of War - At War
by Macabre Omensupported by 12 fans who also own “Hymn To The Gods Of Yore”
Greek Epic / Pagan / Black Metal. These guys kick serious butt & there are some fantastic melodies here as well as some great riffs. All with that distinctive triumphant & exclusively Greek edge. There is a clear Rotting Christ influence but these guys are much more subtle in their onslaught! I would be happy to wage war with giants to the sound of this & I am just a weakling nobody... :) Highly recommended!!!
