lyrics

We ride out the gate
We ride to a war of worlds
Shining steel in our belts
Holding our banners high

But the winds blow cold in the north of our hearts
Thy father sits waiting by a dying fire
Thy mother watches the ships that sail across the seas
And the death of thy father will be

We're called by the war horn
To a ravaged battlefield
Our armor is black
Our horses wear shining steel
The blood paints the shields
That blot out the sun
We're drawn on the warpath
Called to heed

And I believe that the bonds of fellowship were made but stronger that day
Yes I believe it was tempered in fire and forged in the blood of thy father

And the winds blow violent in the north of our hearts
Thy father waits as his supper grows cold
Thy mother sharpens her knives and watches the sea
For the death of thy father will be
The gates torn down
The fires light up the night by the tower
Thy mother walks the path and deep inside you feel

I am the son of a killer
I am the son of violent men
And I am like them you know
I am a killer too

It's the path of the killer
It's the death of thy father
It's the warrior's ire
Ride with your head held high

What an impressive piece of black metal. This one-man hurricane is pure art. Sgah‘gahsowáh creates an haunting atmosphere. He puts so much soul in his music. Sælzer Bub

Blackbraid II
by Blackbraid

supported by 27 fans who also own “The Death of Thy Father”

Blackbraid quickly followed up their 2022 debut in 2023 with more native folk infused furious black metal. This is by no means a sophomore slump as it is equally excellent, methodical, melodical, and approachable as the first record. 9/10 RJ

A Pagan black metal masterpiece. Folk and black metal elements fuse into one extremely catchy and awe inspiring album. This band does not disappoint from all the high praise sent it's way. Abyssius Murkraken
