lyrics
At dawn we strike
Rend mail and flesh
Stack the slain, climb the gate, burn the altar down
And the acolytes watch their gods refuse their cries
Their eyes of fear, holding trembling swords
The smoke reveals the gathered gods
Uncanny shapes above the ashes
The smoke reveals the gathered gods
Their favor won by slavish pawns
A city turned pyre, by ravening iron
Thousands of swords, no one can take them from me
Protected by fire, the Armor of Ire
Thousands of swords no one can take them from me
The dim fire light betrays their numbers
Brands aflame, the din of song, they revel before war
And the sacrifice, for the gain of empire, screams in pain
with her eyes of fear, is bound upon the stave
The smoke reveals the gathered gods
Uncanny shapes above the ashes
The smoke reveals the gathered gods
Their favor lost by slavish pawns
A city turned pyre, by ravening iron
Thousands of swords, no one can take them from me
Protected by fire, the Armor of Ire
Thousands of swords no one can take them from me
Rend mail and flesh
Stack the slain, climb the gate, burn the altar down
And the acolytes watch their gods refuse their cries
Their eyes of fear, holding trembling swords
The smoke reveals the gathered gods
Uncanny shapes above the ashes
The smoke reveals the gathered gods
Their favor won by slavish pawns
A city turned pyre, by ravening iron
Thousands of swords, no one can take them from me
Protected by fire, the Armor of Ire
Thousands of swords no one can take them from me
The dim fire light betrays their numbers
Brands aflame, the din of song, they revel before war
And the sacrifice, for the gain of empire, screams in pain
with her eyes of fear, is bound upon the stave
The smoke reveals the gathered gods
Uncanny shapes above the ashes
The smoke reveals the gathered gods
Their favor lost by slavish pawns
A city turned pyre, by ravening iron
Thousands of swords, no one can take them from me
Protected by fire, the Armor of Ire
Thousands of swords no one can take them from me

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.
