pinkytheent At first listen, I did not think this album was gelling, but as I got deeper, the melancholy mystery really unveiled! If much trad/heavy metal is a tale of fist-pumping might and searing glory, this is one in which the warrior is exhausted, wounded and weary, slumped over his horse as it clomps through the misty woods. This feels best exemplified by many of the choruses, which took me by surprise by pulling back rather than valiantly charging out, seeming to slink downward into blue shadows. Favorite track: Mighty Old Star.

Sojourner Epic Metal the way it should be: bloodstained, mud-caked, melancholic yet defiant. The final track 'Lonesome Rider' is already a highlight of the entire genre for me. March on! Die young! Favorite track: Lonesome Rider.

Erik Salazar This is such a chill record while also being super epic. Epic and chill? Seriously? Yes, seriously. Battle hymns that won’t have you break a sweat while you vanquish your enemies! This record has some great instrumentation mixed with some super unique sounding vocals that are wholly unique to Sordid Blade. Excited to see what these guys do in the future! Fans of Epic Heavy Metal in the vein of Eternal Champion would be wise to give this a spin! Favorite track: Every Battle Has Its Glory.

Brandon Corsair One of my favorite recent Swedish bands finally debuts! Absolutely glorious epic heavy metal equally indebted to the more mythical, thoughtful side of the genre as to the harder one. Pounding riffs meets personal sensibility. Instant classic! Favorite track: Lonesome Rider.

Grendel's Sÿster These most ancient and arcane metal anthems will sweep the dust off your castle's battlements and make them gleam in the dark. Favorite track: Halfway to Heaven.

Images etched in hearts Hearts drunk on their lies Dying for a brand new start Our past we can’t rewind The memories may fade Things will never be the same But for every day that passes We’re getting stronger The memories may fade But our bonds will never break For every day that passes We’re getting stronger May these words pierce your skin Ignited from the dragon’s mouth A last wish to say farewell Within the walls of the mind The memories may fade Things will never be the same But for every day that passes We’re getting stronger The memories may fade But our bonds will never break For every day that passes We’re getting stronger Trapped in longings past An escapee of the signs Unveiling the secret passage To solve the riddle of life Unbreakable Bonds

Wandering in desolation Deep in forests unknown Conjuring ancient spirits On this pathway alone Attaining the wizard’s hand Beyond the realms of time Seeing visions of the past In the master’s shrine Destined to face dismay When Draco invokes his name I put my faith in thou Mighty Old Star A guiding light to show me right Right from wrong Amidst nature’s castle Pines and birches surround Beckoning of the branches Spirits break new ground Destined to face dismay When Draco calls your name I put my faith in thou Mighty Old Star A guiding light to show me right Right from wrong In the name of illusion Emeralds shine so bright One path to find the answers A strange and mystic light

Another kingdom has fallen To the sands of time These are the darkest days For Ochilaik and his kind From the towers we hear The battle roar This is the final hour Prepare for all out war A cruel fate has befallen To the majesty’s hounds For all the rape and plunder We kill and hang them high A mob out for blood When the mighty fall All hail our new overlord The brave shall overthrow Kill the king and take his crown Enthronement of the hidden son Pride and glory are what he’s after He claims the throne with a laughter A mystic champion appears in black The slayer of your kin ready to attack A new ruler for a dying world Future mysteries await us When the throne is usurped Kill the king and take his crown Enthronement of the hidden son Pride and glory are what he’s after He claims the throne with a laughter

Never thought this day would come Hard to admit that I’ve been wrong A fated moment before my eyes I raise my sword and touch the sky Halfway to Heaven A journey to the stars To catch life anew Halfway to Heaven Can’t turn back now Feels like I’m already there A traveler from ancient times Old in flesh, but young inside Battling on borrowed time For glory futures and foresight Halfway to Heaven A journey to the stars To catch life anew Halfway to Heaven Can’t turn back now Feels like I’m already there

A dragon rises To the midnight sun His mighty wings Unfurled for flight Explores the earth Mysteries it seeks Finds unknown treasures Among haunted peaks Loathsome folk abound Intruders begone The fortress I preserve Pathways unknown My Guarded Home The gloom of evening Tracks of the foes Enraged and restless He hoards their souls Stares down invaders With his bare eyes Lurking in shadows Waylaid from the crowd Loathsome folk abound Intruders begone The fortress I preserve Pathways unknown My Guarded Home I won’t be a corpse tonight In the eyes of mortals I sense their fear When night descends My empire rises A crest open to behold
8.
For every second, every day The proudest stand, man by man No retreat in sight We’ve come to the end Onward we must go For Every Battle Has Its Glory Glorious knights in the night Hold high the flame of eternal might No retreat in sight We’ve come to the end Onward we must go For Every Battle Has Its Glory Forward into battle we go Striding for conquest evermore
9.
Close to these shores Invaders coming through the thunder and storm The few and the brave stand their ground Defend what’s theirs to own For those they love they will avenge For their women and children, they avenge Look at these men They were made for fighting and for war Remembering words the old man said In battle there is no law They are ready to fight, yeah They are ready to die As the sky turns red They sacrifice their lives March on, march on Die young, die young Lonesome Rider Comrades have left Dark clouds take shape Alone when darkness falls Remember their names, those who fell Engraved forever in stone Although he fears, he must prevail When the horror is coming, he prevails March on, march on Die young, die young Lonesome Rider Ride on and live fearless
