liam joyce One of the best metal albums of the last few years, no doubt. This shit fucking rocks.

that-guy-with-glasses Brutality of death metal amplified by Balkan temperament. Especially the longer songs on this album with clean vocal parts are wild.
PS. Is "Hari Om" going to appear on Bandcamp? Favorite track: Lullaby for a Deadman.

Cyril Glaume Que peut bien proposer Concret Age sur Bardo Thodol, en sachant qu’il s’agit du 8e album de Russes réfugiés à Londres ? Rien d’évident, mais du foutrement bonnard : un melting-pot « World Metal extrême » réunissant sous un même chapiteau bouillonnant de cosmopolitisme fiévreux Orphaned Land, Dew-Scented, Dirty Shirt et le Sepultura de Roots… Tuerie !

Hex 04:00
My destiny is a serpent`s trail That leads through the dark corners of my mind I flirt with demons, and they love my game They praise the gamblers of the damned tribe Witches lover, cursed one I spoiled them all from an early age They paid me back, so I was marked Unholy seeds were raised in me Greedy voices in my head Have deformed and destroyed my reality Morbid visions have fettered me Erasing the shape of sanity Witches lover, cursed one I spoiled them all from an early age They paid me back, so I was marked Unholy seeds were raised in me In the shadows of the night I put together the shards of a perfect life No point to pretend This hex will chase me up until the end Hex! Upon my flesh Upon my skin Just like an ugly twin Hex! Just like a gift A constant drift toward the deadly pit

Purity 04:38
Fire fills me up again One step away from the suicide His presence gives me pain That gets worse day by day This anguish needs to go away Fear, hand in hand with the fear Until death tear us apart There must be the other way To overcome the pain And find the piece of mind again Believe or not I found myself within this turbid swamp Beyond their streams There is a purity that lies within Surrounded, as a hunted beast The feeling of hopelessness feeds my hungry fears Feed them up, up to the throat, Make these bastards die with choke There`s nothing else that can set you free

I am a true believer Believe or not  The only sincere soul Among this mass I am a true messiah Come, follow me  Let me redeem your mind And forgive your sins I am a true believer  Look at my scars I made this map of wounds Based on your lust I am a true believer The son of the God Let me spread out his divine And scold the evil ones Sick Sick Sick Sick Everyone is  Sick Sick Sick Sick Right upon your skin I am a true believer From distant realms That long-awaited image  Drawn by your dreams I am a real angel The purest love  Join my fast-growing legion Make the right decision now Torture, madness, weakness Part of your existence  Torture, madness, sickness These are all of your weaknesses Over and over again A ritual knife is correcting your skin Over and over again Let us all suffer for mankind's sins Your life won't be the same It'll blow your mind away Feel the endless fever Being a true believer You will never be the same The mind will blow away Feel the endless fever  Being a true believer

Into the darkness of the night Blind maidens weave the threads of fate One careless move can cost your life One gentle move can be a godsend Sometimes the maidens like to play They tighten the knots or weave the threads together Weak parts of the fibers start to fray    Bringing pain that only the strongest can withstand You turn your head towards the void And blaming fate for being mean But there is nothing you should hate While your spindle is spinning constantly Praise life in every moment that you feel Praise the light, before you face eternal dark Praise life, even if against your will You'll be rewarded one time

Row your funeral boat Gently to the eternal dream Let me soothe your soul By sharing lovely memories Let me be your priest Who is praising you before the Creator Let me be your guide  To the land of the obliteration Hear the song I sing Her lyrics came from the fairy world They`ll give you strong believe In the immortality of the soul The song will make you smile  One last time before you go You will pass this trial Leaving emptiness in my soul CH: So let me hold your hand I will guide you till the end Give me something to remember This moment feels so great I shout over my pain By signing the lullaby for a deadman Farewell for now,We will meet again Another time, there will be another place The fairy tail for you now is becoming true Just like in the lullaby that I sang to you

Bardo Thodol 05:46
My mortal flesh is tormented by a burial blade The eldest priest is ready for the prayer This life is over, and my soul is ready to escape  Right to the gates of eternity No pain, no hate, I am not afraid. This shabby skin is soaked in sin I`ll see this past in faceless dreams Beyond this life, I hear the echoes of the past They try to lead me astray Rays of the divine will always guide the soul of the lost In the darkness of the underworld Enjoy your final breath Do not be afraid of death Whatever holds you here Can`t make you free  I see the light, and this journey ends,  The newborn shell is ready to absorb me Another life, another faith So welcome back to the mortal world....again.

The grin of madness stifles sanity The purity of yesterday has gone for good Сapture the last traces of humanity This is the moment to spread out the truth My empty eyes, my silent cry Will be a reason for your perfect domination Bloody tears of suffering and unrealizable creation Will blow up this world with no hope for salvation Let's share the blades And mix the blood We are the same And we are not The ground is crumbling under your feet The first step, second step - ready to defeat The mind disconnects from bodily pain Agony does not allow to prevail We share the blade, We mix the blood We are the same And we are not Raise your head and look at the sky Now it's time to realise  Beyond the storm No matter if you are right or wrong We`ll share the same poisoned dream On the ridges of suffering So take a step Leading toward the savage death Feel the whisper of the grave wind On the ridges of suffering

Thunderland 05:06
In the middle of nowhere  Just before the breath of the sun You will find the ancient land Overwhelmed by the eternal might Strong wind, dark clouds Protects this sacred den Cold face of the Northern Guards Greeting to you at the gates of the Thunderland The lightning strikes again Foreshadowing the dawn Bent arrows of the rain  Embraces the holy ground Stay still, be blessed  By the will of the Thunderlord Erase your empty past  Beneath this frantic storm This is your place, this is your home No time to waste every moment is a gold From now till the end Your heart belongs to the Thunderland
