Shades of pain are fading away
Voices of nature are calling again
Going back home, back to the roots
Starting the journey in deep solitude
Elbrus almighty - show us the way
Valleys of Giants - relieve the bane
Springs of the wild - bring us to live
To reveal the internal might
Amber dawns embracing these grounds
Feeding the air and hailing Kavkaz
Native Tribes are raising their flags
Syncing with the beats of the Motherland
Calling the spirits of the Kazbek
Stepping the trails of infinite heights
We`ll rise again to protect the home
To not be ashamed of what we became
A call from time immemorial
To just remind who you are
You are the son of mountain tribes
Tempered in endless bloody fights
Motherland...
(solo by Boris Zahariev)
Clouds of the storm are coming along
Trying to squeeze the borders of home
Facing the bones of the endless ridge
Gaining the force of siege
(solo by Ilia Morozov)
Feelings aside,
Right at the heart of the mountains, we'll die

1942, the enemies are close
Coming from the ridge, taking over our home
Army of invaders knowing no remorse
At the cost of life, they will try to get their goal
But they will all fall...
(solo by Ilia Morozov)
Claws of burning summer heat torment our flesh
Testing willingness to live and protect the land
Bullets coming from nowhere, soil is soaked in blood
Gathered in the melting hell, we are standing tall
So many lives are forever gone
To keep protected their native home
So many days have already passed
But my Kavkaz* remains steadfast
Jivi Moy Kavkaz...
(solo by Ilia Morozov)

Mestizo

I had a dream
I met my origins
And looked into the eyes of my ancestors
Their wondrous faces were carved in memorial stone
I felt their wisdom and saw their boundless greatness
I saw their eyes
They were insightful
Thousands of colors were shining like gems
Some were as a virgin sea
some were blacker than night
I saw new life and heritage In their light
Mestizo...
I am a mestizo and this is my call
(solo by Ilia Morozov)
I had a dream of foreign realms
I held the banners on the battlefield
I merge them both into a whole
Forming the race that will be graced
(solo by Ilia Morozov)

Nomads

We came from the East, with flame in our hearts
To take our roots and merge with this wonderful land
We absorbed crystal air on these cold mountain peaks
We were there to forever immortalize our names
From the shores of the sea to the heart of the ridge
We wandered, absorbing strength and courage
To defend the Holy realm that they are calling Kavkaz
We will stay, we will fight to be buried here
With the force of the wild, the new era will rise
And only the idols will recall the glory of ...
Among the embrace of this flawless clime
We will sing our song of this brave tribe
The Tale of Nomads lives in our hearts
Being their descendants we`ll keep this story alive
Forever, with flame in our eyes
And never forbidden for the home that you gave us

Mouth of Elbrus

Deadly silence, frozen air
Storm is coming, giant is preparing to awaken
Trembling earth and splitting stones
The end is coming with furious force
The wrath is breaking through
The prophecy comes true
A boundless fortress awaits the strike
But it won`t handle the furious power of the wild
Thousand’s years of deceptive calm
Will be broken by a mighty roar
chorus:
And now the Mother Earth awaits
Eruption from the depths
Drowning in a hot embrace
Accepting fatal fate
At the heart of this raging doom
The universe makes another loop
Weaving threads of the fate unseen
For the upcoming scenery
The stars above have foreseen the fall
As the Earth now surrenders all
In the chaos, a rebirth's seed
From destruction, it will proceed

Kara Kol
03:11
|

|
In the heart of the mountains, where spirits dwell
The Mystic River flows towards the Kara Kol
Cold winds from Alibek cut the air like a sword
Erasing trails that lead toward these virgin shores
Rocky fangs stick out from the water
Cutting the flesh of those who dare
Dare to enter sacred headspring
With an impure and decaying mind
But for those who are truly worthy
Kara Kol* will share her grace
Blessing them with secret knowledge
Healing the soul and bestowing wisdom
So do your will
And join this enchanted spring
Becoming whole
With the flow of Kara Kol
Forever now
There will be no boundaries to expand
Expose your soul
On the shores of Kara Kol

Cossack`s Pride

Memories of the war
Graves and morbid destinies
Headlong and through the pain
We were fighting for the peace
Brothers, side by side
Going through the underworld
Ataman`s war cry
Inspired us to deed
And even when we bleed
The will to live exceeds
Having gone through hell
We have returned the victory
And the peaceful sky above
Grandly shone again
Worries left behind
And merged with the serenity
Ignoring the frantic terror
that was growing inside
(solo by Boris Zahariev)
Here we stand lined up
Exhausted and betrayed
Expecting to be killed
By those for whom we died
You want to take our lives
And push us to the wall
But you can't take the pride
From freedom-loving soul

Adeghaga

In echoes of the forgotten time,
A voice resounds of a warlike tribe
They vanished neath the conqueror's pressure
Yet never bowed their knee to end repressions
Upon the lake's serene midday
Behold their shadow in the water's play
They are marching up towards their death
To take their final breath in this boundless land
Among the flames on the remains
They will perform their final dance
By clapping of the elder ones
With bloody hands and tearful eyes
(solo by Ilia Morozov)
So let these warriors be praised
Be honored with eternal memories
About their brave, exciting life
We`ll keep these memories alive

They say you can't capture lightning in a bottle the second time. Someone should tell those people that Z&A is Zeus' homeboy. Fantastic soul metal.

Visions of Infinihility
by Carnosus
supported by 6 fans who also own “Motherland”
Hype is a funny thing. Usually when I hear everywhere "Dude this shit is 🔥" or even the dreaded and oft-used "AOTY!!" bullshit, I roll my eyes. And I rolled my eyes last year on the hype train for Carnosus. But again, for every thousandth breathless fanboy review I've seen, sometimes the album exceeds the expectation. So I will confidently tell you that, yes, "This shit is 🔥" as I wait for Willowtip to release that sweet Green Ghostly vinyl variant domestically 🤣 Finally a win for my wallet!

Wake of a Nation (EP)
by Zeal and Ardor
supported by 6 fans who also own “Motherland”
If there ever was a timely album to sum up the United States in 2020, this is it. Elements of black metal, hymnals, call-and-response, sampled news audio, and Manuel's amazing voice come together to form a beautifully tortured sound. The term 'avant-garde' is rightfully earned with every moment of this EP.
