Far beyond the grinding ice
Where many ships did once sail
In the lands of the undying
In the lands of the untold
By the trees of the light
Shadow cloak the world
From Thangorodrim descended
The dark lord of the world
And we ride on the ships that take us to far off lands
To seek a treasure stolen far from home
We slay the ones who stand in our way
By Feanor - O father!
We swear the oath and sail away on the ships
Away on the ships
We sail away
Take my hand
A quest for the silmarils
We sail away on the ships to the...
...lands of Helcaraxe
A host so pale and cold
Will we be forgotten?
A hero will be known!
But the noldor knows the way
Lead us not astray
We're guided by the star
To Angband afar!
And we ride on the ships that take us to far off lands
To seek the crystal stolen by claws of the dark
Beware ye who stand in our way,
By Feanor - O father!
We swear the oath and sail away on the ships
Away on the ships
We sail away
Take my hand
A quest for the silmarils
We sail away on the ships to far off lands
We sail away
Take my hand
We're the sons seven of Feanor!
We take what is ours and we ride away on the ships
We sail away!
To far off lands!
Away on the ships!
I love this particular niche of modern black metal. Crisp, biting production and clear, cutting riffs. Imperialist are among the best there is right now. Brett (Lascaille's Shroud / Soulmass)
Californian quartet defining themselves as Sci-Fi black metal, maybe due to cosmic and interstellar topics, sounding like blackened death metal too ("The Maw"). It's a well-balanced melodic black metal album, with some fast-paced tracks and nice rhythmic transitions reminding me of Swiss band Celtic Frost (e.g. Terminal Odyssey). In other words not overly dominated by drum speed and also not sounding as extreme or as raw as some BM can be. sachavonkarl74
Beautiful, haunting, and incredibly engaging. I'm listening to this and looking out the window at snow falling -what could be more perfect?
An incredible record; highly recommended. It's truly beautiful, and that's not a word I often use for metal, but this is powerful stuff. somethingsomething9
Heaviest thing I’ve heard all year along with Altarage. Okay I’ve been listening to this record for the past two weeks and it just gets better and better. Dissonant grooves galore Jacob Ballance
