lyrics
Month of Yule, howling snows ravage the land
Time to hail the gods so renewal they will bring
Around the holy tree a great feast will be held
Much ale we’ll drink and many songs we’ll sing
In the cold of winter sacrifices will be made
Ancient rites of blood in honour of our gods so great
Winter solstice
In the long midwinter night sacrifices are hung
In the sacred grove on the branches of the tree
Nine males of man and horse and pig and goat
The blood flows freely for our mighty gods to see
In the cold of winter sacrifices now are made
Ancient rites of blood in honour of our gods so great
Winter solstice
In nine holy days seventy-two beings are slain
In the glare of the torches lighting the dark night
The runes are cast while the gods look upon us
The rites of blood will ensure the return of the light
In the cold of winter sacrifices have been made
Ancient rites of blood in honour of our gods so great
Winter solstice
Time to hail the gods so renewal they will bring
Around the holy tree a great feast will be held
Much ale we’ll drink and many songs we’ll sing
In the cold of winter sacrifices will be made
Ancient rites of blood in honour of our gods so great
Winter solstice
In the long midwinter night sacrifices are hung
In the sacred grove on the branches of the tree
Nine males of man and horse and pig and goat
The blood flows freely for our mighty gods to see
In the cold of winter sacrifices now are made
Ancient rites of blood in honour of our gods so great
Winter solstice
In nine holy days seventy-two beings are slain
In the glare of the torches lighting the dark night
The runes are cast while the gods look upon us
The rites of blood will ensure the return of the light
In the cold of winter sacrifices have been made
Ancient rites of blood in honour of our gods so great
Winter solstice

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!

Youth in Ribbons
by Revenant Marquissupported by 13 fans who also own “Winter Solstice”
Revenant Marquis continues with the subterranean vocals on this album. Percussion sound on all tracks has a very large sound, especially the bass drum. Guitar is generally very clean. The more I listen, the more I get Xasthur vibes, but with a more rock and roll influence. Still very depressive and chaotic. A cool album!

This is a classic. I've spent hours listening to this, along with other songs from that era. So many times, I found myself in the mood for this album. There is so much I could say, but it can't all fit here. I will say: it was great to read the PDF included with the download. I never knew anything about the album. Finally I get some insight into what it was all about.
