about

This song is inspired by my homeland, but not in a nostalgic way in terms of pride for roots, blood or bullshit like that.
I was born in a very special part of Italy, encircled by the mountains and the sea, where misterious stones in humanoid shape were standing in the woods and where stone circles resembled the stars in the sky.
They proudly fought against the Roman conquerors and stood for their freedom but history teaches there's no space for the individual, self determination, self organization and liberty. This is a song about the right to auto determination and agains any oppression.

lyrics

An old man once told me, this land was no easy or fertile,
The same man once told me, Black Eagles here will never fly.

Freedom's desire runs wild in the land where the days were marked by the Sun,
The peaks brights alive, celebrations at Night,
Where the stones're our perpetual stars, forever, and ever your legacy of warriors in the sky.

The golden reflex of the celestial wings spreading high in the forest at the Night,
Dance magic circles with roots fierce as steel, in every horizon my sky will still shine.

And the mountains still lay,
At their feet ancient steles,
All the spirits now sleep,
At their feet it's rising the mist.
Like a mother's caress, with the echo forever you are blessed,
in a forever flame,
let the wind bring me your name...

MOONLAND!!!

Further In Evil
by MARTHE

Marthe returns!!! Awesome to hear her back and she does not disappoint. Within awaits a book of wrath, a grimy manifesto of blackened punk fury, incendiary and venomous. Marthe effectively carves her place of riot grrrl-style spitting punk, crabwalking into the icy night with the best of the Norwegian black metal wave. Pure, barbaric, atavistic, driving. A beautiful borderland, full of stern rocks and fierce wind, between the realms of all the heavy musics we love. pinkytheent

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
