Stephan Amazing EP with galloping, crunchy Epic (Power) Metal! All the tracks are very strong, no stinkers. Great guitar work, stellar riffs and excellent drums. Tom Davy is a naturally gifted vocalist. Favorite track: Oathbreaker.

Oathbreaker 04:16
Sworn here, in darkened haze In the shadow of the stone We pledge to you on this day Allegiance to the throne We fight till death at your command As long as we draw breath Riding fast, on to war Lest rest we not by death So the oath was sworn by men Who would lay down their lives The call to arms, fight and die War before their eyes To bring the final days To the darkest of the lords The last alliance made They drew not a sword Cursed to remain (Haunted by the broken oath) The oath betrayed (Prophets cry the day will come) Cursed to remain (The rightful heir will soon command) The oath betrayed (This treachery will be undone) Damned they are eternally By the king in victory No peace they’ll find No rest their souls will ever see Until their words, the sacred oath They broke in treachery Have come to pass, the oath fulfilled To his coming legacy

Second Son 07:10
Conceived in battle to appropriate the throne In realms of endless sorrow Maddening reign Slain in captivity to foreign realms unknown A burst ascending from below, the first is born again Summoning the night Wrapped in iron chains Heathens riding across the sky to guide the shadows home Night, glorious night The holiest fight The legacy of the chosen one Honor and pride On mountains we rise The legacy of the second son A undulated flame is soaring through the sky Two-headed beast begot this plague of the king A twisted figure clad in gold and laced with blood and bred for war His labyrinth descending on the enemy Marching to their fate Scourge of hate arise Inquisition gates have opened Calling out my name Wretched voices in the dark Hear them calling Through seven reigns upon this long-forsaken throne Far beyond the storm They will abide by the father of all lies Just another fallen son Now he rises Through the ashes of a noble ruler Vengeance lies within They will be bound forever more
3.
Under a spell of regressive unease Struggle to gather what my mind decrees Scattered about are these visions of mine With tidings of war, and the ghastly ill signs Men of deception creating the ultimate divine Creed and corruption dancing with fate as they entwine Standing alone here in search of the key To fortunes we’d hitherto never foresee A price for the living of lives so in vain That yearn for the threshold of pleasure and pain Shattered and lifeless disfiguring everything I see Screams of redemption, bleeding into a misery Where the twisted one dwells casting archaic spells unto me Just once in time I failed to see The flash of darkness in your eyes That shed my blindness away To manifest within mankind A ceremony of infernal might Paints your hollow prophecies with fire! Our life continues A futile waste of man Bereft of all progression Never to understand So the moral chains of existence Are sealed to well within Quest for darkness continues Death of man begins And slowly we fade into the edges of time Cold, shattered and grim Crossing the plain Black is the air With silence insane Eyes peer through the mist Seeing the light Stricken with fear entranced buy the sight Child, follow me now Into my home Dismal and bleak This kingdom I roam There, over the hills Lies the abyss There you will find Solace and bliss
4.
I live in a sorrow too deep for me What has befallen me? Nightspirit came to embrace my soul The sun has betrayed me, defiled by cruelty What has brought thee rivers Greets me with thunderous waves of hate Shot down, fall from grace The tears of death undo my face The warriors will take my life Betrayal won’t remove the knife Now avenge my living, a living too cold for me The end will greet me Darkest cloud has come to possess my soul It was all so innocent, children of the savior But the angel’s inferno is all the earth can understand Where did we go wrong? The madness in our veins is growing stronger It’s not enough for us to pray I hope you see it now, that heaven is condemned And I, I whisper suffering, and bid this world a cold farewell again

about

The Oathbreaker EP features five songs: an exclusive release of the new tale, entitled “Oathbreaker,” and four completely remixed and remastered tracks from 2008’s Into the Primordial, each with new vocal performances and arrangements by Tom Davy. “Oathbreaker,” featuring session drums by former DragonHeart/DragonForce drummer Peter Hunt, recounts the legend of the Dead Men of Dunharrow, cursed to remain deathless for failing to uphold their word to fight alongside their brethren. The disc immediately then dives into familiar territory: the pounding “Second Son,” the epic “Supernatural Warfare,” and dynamic “Whisper Suffering,” all important fixtures in the band’s history.

The disc was recorded at BURNING SHADOWS’ home studio, The Halls of Glory, with the exception of Peter Hunt’s drum tracks, which traveled across the world from Sydney, Australia to be on this release.
