lyrics
Impregnable fortress, prepared for siege
Above a steep rock face rising high
Its summit deeply covered with snow
To capture it men would be able to fly
Many had taken refuge in this fortress
Including the lord’s daughters and wife
Oxyartes would not submit to Alexander
But the fortress was his last hope in life
Sogdian rock
With iron pegs and strong flaxen lines
Macedonians set out covered by night
Climbing the steepest part of the cliff
The summit was seized at first light
Enemy troops now on top of the rock
The defenders shocked by this sight
Without any more resistance they yielded
Further glory for Alexander in this fight
Sogdian rock
Above a steep rock face rising high
Its summit deeply covered with snow
To capture it men would be able to fly
Many had taken refuge in this fortress
Including the lord’s daughters and wife
Oxyartes would not submit to Alexander
But the fortress was his last hope in life
Sogdian rock
With iron pegs and strong flaxen lines
Macedonians set out covered by night
Climbing the steepest part of the cliff
The summit was seized at first light
Enemy troops now on top of the rock
The defenders shocked by this sight
Without any more resistance they yielded
Further glory for Alexander in this fight
Sogdian rock

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!

Gods Of War - At War
by Macabre Omensupported by 13 fans who also own “Sogdian Rock”
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!!!
