lyrics
Storming The Black Gate
The oracle has spoken, of servants to the eye
Advance upon the black gate
Denounce your god or die
Cataclysmic winds, destructively accel
Spewing from the heavens, aphotic tides of hell
Warriors of the north, bare the rune of war
Sing the song of steel, upon the tide of gore
Fall into the circles of hell
Within the path lies the rotted
Engrossed affliction, illuminates the rise
Showered in glory, beneath the crimson skies
{Solo Rains}
{Solo Dwyer}
The oracle has spoken, of servants to the eye
"Mori Pro Bellum", to where the vermin lie
Despoiler of the masses, hordes slain to the weight
Soldiers lured by bloodlust, breeding cursed hate
Storm of war, to conquer and defeat
Disembodied, as flesh and steel meet
Black blood scoured, reign across this land
The gate is open, to the legion of the damned
The Damned!
Fall into the circle of evisceration
Where all the tides of hell will meet
{Solo Dwyer}
{Solo Rains}
As the tyrants rise
The serpent demigod
As the towers fall
Beneath the watchful eye

If Elric had a soundtrack it would be this. It's everything you want from a epic metal album. Like a hot poker in the eye, but in a good way. Scott Malthouse

So I can't leave a long enough review to say everything I want. But I will say this, I love this EP. It's a great little follow up to times, and has just enough of a dynamic shift in sound to prove that Smoulder isn't a one trick pony with their first album's formula. This one really plays up the 70s prog aspects (DUST and Manilla Road influences definitely shine through even harder here). It's still Smoulder, don't get me wrong. Just a different side in some ways, all of which are good. playfulpooka
