adamlyger Epic, uplifting metal. It sounds like these guys are having a blast, and it transfers to the listener. One of the best of 2021.

Warangelic One of the best things that has ever come out of 2021. And it might be a tight AOYT contender for me. Favorite track: The Forgotten War.

Arrogant Bastard Wreath of Frost is some pretty heckin sweet melodeath if not a little heavy on the cheesy (in a good way) folky symphonics. Still, a great debut and romping good time!

Our crimson blades rise before the stars Afire in the winter moon Frosted landscape pallid writhes With lifeless forms bestrewn The fires of war shall lift our wings Crusted blood adorns our pom All that rise to meet our steel To ruin shall succumb The night grows cold To the ire of darkness we are bound Sanguine painted sky Endless bodies pile Staining the ground With shattered bones and claret fur My fallen brothers 'neath me lie Countless graves before The Gods that we defy To lay our lives down before the king Exalted in glory fall The realm its heart bequeaths to thee That heed the battle's call Lost before the wrath divine Caught within benighted swarm Take up arms, to victory cry For fate redeems the battle worn Blessed are the pious few That fight within a frozen hell Blinded by the primal claws That curse the hearts in which they dwell The cry still resounds Where mists are churning Aflame and forsaken In the clamour of war In fury set the night ablaze Hopeless and wayward The last guard of an ancient kin Abandoned by the Gods we serve A shadow falls As hope breathes its last An endless maw To which we are cast Rise to your final call As the kingdom we sought Burns as our banners fall Our last stand Where mortals and Gods collide Let our swords be the last To break in the ashen tide Divine tongues decay Damned by the souls That they betray

Cold steel and dragon song Bespeak a mournful battle cry As fires of a holy war Tear through the sky Our lives, the battleground Broken, lost and left to die Cursed by the endless war That our hearts deny 'Neath cloaks of crimson On starlit night A chosen few would brave the Winter's bite We'll see their legend Lives ever on When every soul by this pyre hears our starlight song Cold days and hopeless nights For those of loss and famine born Sheltered in shattered streets From battle torn Still from the ruins rise A few toward the helpless drawn Who walk forbidden paths Their only wish that we may see the dawn 'Neath cloaks of crimson On starlit night A chosen few would brave the Winter's bite We'll see their legend Lives ever on When every soul by this pyre hears our starlight song The pallid ground, a deathly white In frigid air, 'neath freezing stars Those broken hearts Still pray for shelter from the fading light Lost in the darkness Within the thrall Of Winter And drawn by the light of your flame Saint of the weaver Your knights will stand eternal Flames in the cold night In scarlet cloaks veiled We'll keep the fires burning in your name 'Neath cloaks of crimson On starlit night A chosen few would brave the Winter's bite We'll see their legend Lives ever on When every soul by this pyre hears our starlight song

Lost are the idols To their decay As runs the blood of hallowed lambs That feeds the altar To which they pray Graves of the fallen Defiant, stand A boundless dark that crafts the blade To rise and claim salvation for the damned Reviled Reprisal's jagged threads converge Upon a frost-born child Fate pale as Edelweiss Heretic Your frozen saint Resides in dreams of ice Cursed By the verse of their father's hymn Cold words of law divine 'Neath spires of mourning Another sinner Breaks away from unseen hands malign Sire of the mourning Your sallow young Exalt the cold eidolic words That fall upon Your blackened tongue Curse the opposer To face your sword The snowbound wraith that pounds her fists Against the ashen spires that Heaven's ward Drawn in the tide of the shadows cast Faint call of voiceless song Obscures abandoned past Cursed By the verse of their father's hymn Cold words of law divine 'Neath spires of mourning Another sinner Breaks away from unseen hands malign By a hollow throne deceived A slave who reveres the open wounds from which they bleed The accused are in sin adorned As virtue they benight Breaking free from the righteous chains our Gods have feigned as holy right Myopic light That covers all Reveals their withered land depraved And by her hand will fall

Diamond Dust 07:14
Gaze upon the crystal realm Spellbound to enchanted kingdom Forgotten land of frost and snow (Where rivers freeze and cold winds blow) Peaks upon a diamond fortress Jewels within a frozen crown Those icy spires rise as monoliths From the permafrost below Her will unbound Her hand extends A glimpse of beauty as the freezing wind descends Cold her anger, swift her vengeance Freezing hearts within their chest Snowbound and buried as the countless graves Of the souls she lays to rest Let every thrall Her will entice Slaves to resplendent Queen upon a throne of ice Let frozen blades be held aloft unto the snowfall Flash of steel to pierce the sky Blazing t'ward the evenfall With fires burning, may our souls Defy the creeping grasp of winter madness Until the blood runs cold Fade not b'fore the light is gone Nor wither when the night takes hold A burning sky Upon its descent Light passing crystal fall A frozen veil from Heaven sent A thousand souls, t'ward her drawn No one to light your path Nor hear your prayers to see the dawn Lost in the snowfall A world is still, beneath her frozen hand No dawn can stay the wintry bite Nor break the grey to reach The ground to which her hands benight Spoils of the light will be undone Flash of untempered gaze That gleams as ice beneath the winter sun Cold wreath enshrines the queen Of Ice And Diamond Dust

Sullen, 'neath the azure sky Through sylvan veil obscured He walks amongst the towering pine That ancient mountains ward The heavy tone of tempered steel Disturbs the sober air Graceful hand and gleaming axe That dance before the Winter's glare Imposing branches break the frozen shroud Falling 'pon the earthen trail Of giants hewn and bowed Lord of the hammer's fall His potent strikes, the fires ordain Chorus of embers Of molten hymn and iron refrain The stalwart form of his will In pyre born Enchants voracious hands Ardent thralls, t'ward forge and anvil drawn Lost 'neath the barren crags Where horizons swell and the steppes divide He seeks archaic scars Where open veins and quiescent blood reside In the furrows of aeons Dull stone of forgotten paths That the seasons gnaw and years erode Will run with the ferrous gore Of hermetic seam and unbroken lode remote Call of unfathomed breach Pull of the twilight glow He roams from soaring peak To sweeping vale below Fortunes of chasm deep and sundered titan fell Could not his longing sate Nor fervent hunger quell Lord of the hammer's fall His potent strikes, the fires ordain Chorus of embers Of molten hymn and iron refrain The stalwart form of his will In pyre born Enchants voracious hands Ardent thralls, t'ward forge and anvil drawn Solemn journey, forgotten song Unspoken calling that leads him ever on Lord of the hammer's fall His potent strikes, the fires ordain Chorus of embers Of molten hymn and iron refrain The stalwart form of his will In pyre born Enchants voracious hands Ardent thralls, t'ward forge and anvil drawn T'ward the hammer Of Clarent Wingthor

Silence As ancient as the freezing stars The Gods are muted Their tongues grow cold Lifeless As soil beset with frozen scars 'Cross empty landscapes The ardent Winter's sweeping tides remold The bitter cry of scathing air Portends relentless squall Horizons breeding umbral dark 'Neath which the crystal realm will fall Crest of violent maw That swallows all Proclaimed, our ruined fate accursed Within her frozen crown 'Neath falling skies from dreams we wake 'Neath ire of crescent waves we drown Darkness Her veil divines the fading light Sweeping dominion Of Winter's might Tempest A herald of our everlasting night Forespoken words obscured By idle sight Proclaimed, our ruined fate accursed Within her frozen crown 'Neath falling skies from dreams we wake 'Neath ire of crescent waves we drown And the artifice of rule is lost As the sallow queen adorns Her wreath of frost 'Neath Ashen skies our hearts succumb Resigning to embrace The pallid wreath of kingdom come Awaiting the crowning tide Our world undone

Lachrymose and funereal wasteland Of weathered peaks and abandoned trails Where the whispers of sorrow Permeate every somber vale An ethereal vestment Rests adorned on the lifeless air 'Neath the sprawl ancient summits ascend As effigies mute in eternal prayer Obscure as the years that have fallen in silence Lost paths that erstwhile had led t'ward the old Gods Now host to the footfalls of ruin Frozen wounds carve a landscape of scars Born of Winter, 'cross horizons torn In the twilight stirs a creeping dark For the shadows are beholden to the dawn The eons are stillborn As time cannot rule the dead A shroud of inertia Obscures the abyss t'ward which we're led Beyond empyreal veil we have fallen Before the fields of despair we have come Night eternal Invokes a yearning forlorn Desires that wander And gather in the moonlight Their wounded hearts succumb In darkness led astray Vast forms of colossal remains And towering pillars of bone In death, but a shrine to the end A cenotaph set in the ancient stone We pass through the hollows of death Pervading the earth they decay Drawn down by the call of the grave And the withering vestige of light fading away The weeping hollows pray In silent hymn T'ward shadows we will fall Their frozen tongues, our hearts enthrall Abandoned Gods Wander the sky Their ruined will divine Cursed by our vengeful hearts malign As our effigies fall The wounded will break in the fray The accursed, ever chasing the lies Our fervent longings betray Writhing in torment The pain ever keeping our demons at bay The throe of arcane verse Whispered through the void Predestine and forespoken The darkness lingers in the air And calls to thee unbroken As shadows cast before the pyre Our flames portend our fall From spark to all-consuming blaze The endless reach of night comes for us all

The heirs of darkness Shadows 'neath the deathly grey Cold of unmoving Mere relics of the world's decay A storm unyielding Herald to a fading dawn Four crystals guide the hand Of chosen few that to the light are sworn The crescent lake resounds With ancient verse Prophetic words Of raging seas and barren earth The ages have foreseen As they collide Will eons fade And the restless tides of a dying world will rise Before a kingdom forsaken Forged in the bloodshed That stains the crimson skies Defiant souls From the darkness awaken Drawn through the restless night Disciples hewn from the fated course they ride Ill-spent are benighted prayers That exalt a hallowed land No hearth, nor grave But where we make our stand As ascendant Gods emerge The archaic burn The ebb and flow That the wheels of fate forever churn When the withered star of morn Falls to demise Neath umbral veil We whisper tales that another Sun will rise Upon a kingdom forsaken Piercing the bloodshed That stains the crimson skies Defiant souls From darkness awaken Drawn through the restless night With hearts aflame To oblivion we ride The coming age ignites a spark In heart and blade withal Where goes the light, so goes the dark The Gods that rise, so too will fall Rise Defy the chaos ascending Cut through the bloodshed And in the dark unite We are but pawns In cycles unending As break and wane the tides Of primal fiends and warriors of light
