lyrics
"A man that flies from his fear may find he has only taken a short cut to meet it." - J.R.R. Tolkien
I wear the chains of a likely subject
You, like a fool, let me into your keep
And now blood has dried on the blade of my sword
The chains on my back are gone
I gain the wall, take the life from your guardian
Use it's claw, take the head from your king
And now blood has dried on the blade of my sword
I set fire the Inner Hall
The keep my goal
Their army fears the battle
The seas will roll
The mountains shield the battle
Flames lick from your once great fortress
Cut down with ease all your ill-trained men
Now blood has dried on the blade of my sword
You ran from the fight and lost
The keep my goal
Their army fears the battle
The seas will roll
The mountains shield the battle
Command nothing as the chaos binds you
Your force running as they follow your lead
Your bards will sing of your deeds and fortress
they'll sing it’s name call it Coward's Keep
I wear the chains of a likely subject
You, like a fool, let me into your keep
And now blood has dried on the blade of my sword
The chains on my back are gone
I gain the wall, take the life from your guardian
Use it's claw, take the head from your king
And now blood has dried on the blade of my sword
I set fire the Inner Hall
The keep my goal
Their army fears the battle
The seas will roll
The mountains shield the battle
Flames lick from your once great fortress
Cut down with ease all your ill-trained men
Now blood has dried on the blade of my sword
You ran from the fight and lost
The keep my goal
Their army fears the battle
The seas will roll
The mountains shield the battle
Command nothing as the chaos binds you
Your force running as they follow your lead
Your bards will sing of your deeds and fortress
they'll sing it’s name call it Coward's Keep

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.

never been a big death metal fan but this is actually super accessible for the genre, has fun concepts, and personally i'm always a fan of albums with short tracklists and huge runtimes (for individual songs) Great time, good jumping on point for newbies too.

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.
