When Kingdoms Collide

There is fire burning within
Every man a hungry king
Lusting for control
Of sacred land
Powered by a boundless greed
March to conquer the enemy
Descending from the hill
An army ready to kill
Spells! Swords! And fire!
When kingdoms collide
Storming the gates
Under a lightning strike
Men clash their weapons on the front lines
Mages conjure magical crimes
A battlefield painted with death
As church bells chime
Thunder roars through the valley
Victory! Our finale!
The glory and the spoils of war
Remember what you’re fighting for
Spells! Swords! And fire!
When kingdoms collide
Storming the gates
Under a lightning strike

Here we stand on this bridge
Realized this was it
Life or death to destroy the ring
The beast shrouded in fire
To the pits with the balrog!
Took my final gasp
Life within my grasp
Shout the words “YOU SHALL NOT PASS”
The whip came flying back
To the pits with the balrog!
A noble quest
No task for kings
Entrusting Frodo with the ring
Towards to the eastern gates
To the pits with the balrog!
Wielder of fire
Situation dire
No rest since we left the shire
Durin’s bane dwells in the deep
To the pits with the balrog!
Into the pits with the balrog
Descending ancient caverns
I shall return again
But not as Gandalf The Grey

The Nine
04:12
|

|
Nineteen rings were forged in all
By the fires of Celebrimbor
Nine men blessed with wealth and strength
Slowly corrupting their souls
Nazgul
Forever bound by greed
As the eye commands
Servants of the second age
Bound to find their strength again
Immortal, atop black wings
Scour the land for the ring
Forever bound by greed
As the eye commands
Upon this rock
A fellowship is formed
From unlikely source:
Hobbit, Elf, Wizard, Man, and Dwarf
United against evil force
The Nine!

Scavenger

Cast away from decadence
Life is here in the underworld
Beneath the dirt and rust
Born for no reason, yet purpose is clear
In the sewers filled with slime
Strife! Fight to survive
Cling to existence
Under a godless sky
Oh, I’m a scavenger
And I eat once decomposed
Feeding off waste
Picking your meat from your bones
I’m a scavenger
And I eat once decomposed
Feeding off waste
And I’ll tear your heart from your soul
I am, that which you abhor
Feed my will
Nurture me
I am, biding my time
Until the day
We rise
Rise!

Vamp, the Impaled
05:53

He’s Romanian!
A wizard with knives
From the darkest depths of this world
Cross his path and you’ll be one more
On his growing list of victims
Forgotten!
Mother and father, A child of a broken home
Raised by wolves as one of their own
To an oath he is sworn
My life is war
I was born for
My life is war
For the battle I was born
This is my life’s beck and call
Call me the Romanian
Die by the sacred blade
To an oath I’m sworn till my final breath
He’ll assassinate!
Anyone you say just as long as you meet his hourly rate
A trained murderer who loves to feast on blood
Since he was impaled by that cross
Five today or perhaps rather six
I’m not a man for petty little tricks
If the price is right then graves are filled
Too many to count, all the men I’ve killed
My life is war
My life
Die by the sacred blade

Devoted to Destruction
03:50

Devoted to destruction
Deeper, I drive the nail
This coffin of existence
So doomed to fail
Exhausted my ambition
Corrupt all that I love
Dissociate decisions
From the damage I have caused
Bled dry my inhibitions
Found shelter in denial
A monster playing martyr
Forced to a crooked smile
Hatred for who I am
A menace once a man
Forgiveness and deliverance
Screamed for in silent words
Left sinking, forever doomed to fail
Drag you with me, the darkest depths we’ll scale
Stay away
Witness me
Devote to destroy life
Doomed to fail

Snakeblade Vancouver, British Columbia
One man metal from BC Canada. Nerdy n'dirty
If you like Snakeblade, you may also like:
supported by 13 fans who also own “The Kingdom”
The first 30 seconds of "Revenge by Fire" convinced me to get the whole album! It is a face-melting blend of speed and black metal, reminiscent of Hellripper! KVAEN is a Swedish solo project much like Hellripper but many known guest musicians helped J. Björnfot in his endeavor. Altogether it is really a solid debut album, I loved the melodies and the pace changes in the second half too, ending with a "calm" instrumental one. Well-done!!

Illusions In The Wake

Amazing atmospheric progressive black metal with some doom vibes. Illusions In The Wake is emotional with some haunting melodies. An outstanding debut album! Highly recommended!

Gaerea's first release of "Unsettling Whispers" was in 2018, and since, they dared define a "black metal" niche of their own, they dared to walk a new path and stir shit up a bit in the realm of BM, this album is a masterpiece and a milestone proving that it can be done, provided the band can pull it off, and they did, oh they did! Gloomy, dark, post-BM sludgy whatever, it's Gaerea, and this one belongs in my BC collection, the end.

Blackened death metal riffs and Lovecraftian horror go hand-in-hand on the Seattle brutalists' ferocious eight-track epic.

Stare Into Death And Be Still
by Ulcerate
supported by 10 fans who also own “The Kingdom”
The album description mentions an “emotional apex.” That’s really the difference between Stare and the band’s previous albums. Ulcerate was always supremely technically proficient. I just didn’t care all that much. Their growth has come from making music you will feel.
