lyrics
In ancient legend dwell the tales
In whispered secrets new details
Blur the myths, reveal the truths
Three men obsessed with this pursuit
The shade released to timeless skies
Existence proven, still denied
Cast the nightmares to the depths
In hopes to lay all fears to rest
Long since past, fell o’er the strake
Still through the restless nights, awake
Visions of abysmal sights
While shadows die in glaring lights
Dredge the depths of the darkest seas
Revealing sights that no man sees
Gaze into the depths unknown
Through angles of the cursèd stone
Abysmal aeons fill my sight
As the lightning tears the night
{And at the last from inner Egypt came
[The strange dark One to whom the fellahs bowed;]
Silent and lean and cryptically proud,
[And] wrapped in fabrics red as sunset flame.
Throngs pressed around, frantic for his commands,
[But leaving, could not tell what they had heard;]
While through the nations spread the awestruck word
[That/While] wild beasts followed him and licked his hands.}
-HP Lovecraft, "Nemesis"
Titan mountains, eldritch fears
Timeless visions all too near
In darkness the gateways yawn
Unleash nightmares from beyond
{Soon from the sea a noxious birth began;
Forgotten lands with weedy spires of gold;
The ground was cleft, and mad auroras rolled
Down on the quaking citadels of man.
Then, crushing what he chanced to mould in play,
The idiot Chaos blew Earth’s dust away.
I have haunted the tombs of the ages,
I have flown on the pinions of fear
Where the smoke-belching Erebus rages,
Where the jokulls loom snow-clad and drear:
[And in realms where the sun of the desert consumes what it never can cheer.]
I was old when the Pharaohs first mounted
The jewel-deck’d throne by the Nile;
I was old in those epochs uncounted
When I, and I only, was vile;
[And Man, yet untainted and happy, dwelt in bliss on the far Arctic isle.]
Oh, great was the sin of my spirit,
And great is the reach of its doom;
Not the pity of Heaven can cheer it,
Nor can respite be found in the tomb:
[Down the infinite aeons come beating the wings of unmerciful gloom.]}
-HP Lovecraft, "Nemesis"
The truth revealed, the darkness looms
Save for the man who holds our doom
Helpless to his ageless scorn
The evil lives in human form
Dredge the depths of the darkest seas
Revealing sights that no man sees
The shadows cast by baleful spire
Now ablaze in solar fire
Gaze into the depths unknown
Through angles of the cursèd stone
Abysmal aeons fill my sight
As the lightning tears the night
Titan mountains, eldritch fears
Timeless visions all too near
In darkness the gateways yawn
Unleash nightmares from beyond

Been looking to expand my power metal collection a bit beyond the classics of HammerFall, Blind Guardian, et. al. Not disappointed by these guys in the least. A sound very much inspired by German and Swedish power metal greats imo. caffeinatedmetalhead

"Your eyes don't deceive you. That is a four headed black unicorn on the cover".
My ears don't deceive me too. This is a four stars (out of three) heavy metal album! RATMAN

This album features impressive musical flexibility. Notably I am impressed by the fullness with which Kaine has grasped the concept of the heavy ballad. Christian Towalski
