lyrics
The sword was wielded in the past and future
Many times the blade broken and forged anew
Before the dawn of time it was created
In mythical caves filled with fire and doom
The sword was there at many pivotal moments
Throughout the bloody pages of history
Alexander wielded the blade against Persia
The hammer stood tall against the Saracen
Sword of the millennia
Blade of divine steel
Sword of the millennia
Its power all shall feel
Great lords and kings carried the sword
To forge great glory or find their doom
No living soul knows the blade's true name
Yet countless times it wrought man's destiny
Its magical steel wrought by runes of might
Countless times lost and sought and found
For years hidden 'neath the chapel of doom
Until the heretic once more wore the blade
Many times the blade broken and forged anew
Before the dawn of time it was created
In mythical caves filled with fire and doom
The sword was there at many pivotal moments
Throughout the bloody pages of history
Alexander wielded the blade against Persia
The hammer stood tall against the Saracen
Sword of the millennia
Blade of divine steel
Sword of the millennia
Its power all shall feel
Great lords and kings carried the sword
To forge great glory or find their doom
No living soul knows the blade's true name
Yet countless times it wrought man's destiny
Its magical steel wrought by runes of might
Countless times lost and sought and found
For years hidden 'neath the chapel of doom
Until the heretic once more wore the blade

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!

Akitsa has been among my top tier for a decade, and this is probably their most consistent album. Their experimental period seems to be over and they've definitely settled on an overall sound here, not too far from early Burzum. It's great, although I do miss the unhinged, hateful vibe of their earlier stuff.
