weindar Holy crap....this took me by surprise. Absolutely stunning symphonic melodic death metal on display complete with epic aggressive clean vocals. A little wintersun...some dark oath....a splash of persuader and some power metal sensibility. I CANNOT WAIT to see what these guys release next. If you enjoy epic sounding catchy metal this will not disappoint. Fist pumps and head banging will be in abundance when you put this on!!! Just try to listen to northland wanderer and not be enthralled...amazing stuff. Favorite track: Northland Wanderer.

Reason and faith feeding blood to the ground Fortunes and lives to be buried and drowned Superimposed over the last learned ignorance Senses engaged across the next false brilliance Evening shone in a silence fell As the goddess knelt and the fire repelled Broken shield in a frozen cage When our instincts fled and adrenaline raged Killing of time in a weighing of life On the balance of souls in Osiris' rites Fiction erased in a blaze of white [Chorus] I cannot see the stars that were promised to me Sick with your pride Why, shattering the mask of an evening’s disguise An offering of dawn An unbidden call Take thy beak from my heart Disregard the gray that time can't mend Lost in our own minds Naught you know of the songs that move us Years turn our lies into truths - redacted fables Invented to subvert the symbols We thought we created Disquieting to feel their edges shaping [Chorus] Cryptic phrase Artifice lost in analytical haze Patterns to wind the fraying ends of the rational Ciphers to bind unchecked zeal of the radical Fallacy wrought from the memory lost in sleep Never to break from the trammeling shade of night Radiance dimmed by a sufferance of deceit Fiction erased in a blaze of white [Chorus x2] A warping of the key Forever held in thrall

Tied in the lines of my oblique design Wither in your embrace Defy; redefine the meaning of true sight Suffer the weight of ageless silence Blindness [Chorus] Ring thy heart with steel Pulling for the surface, blades dividing the rays Ablaze with the fire to be Vanquished by the waves (vanquished by the waves) Ocean in storm Crushing grip of ice By name, power, and right hand By phases of the ever-moving moon Fickle as the snows of autumn Deadly as the deep still waters Swirling seas, churning red Apparition of godlike beauty Pull me under the frozen crimson waves Wings embrace, flooded by sulfur In the burning swirling tide Buried by the night [Chorus x2] Extinguished Go Crystal shards of broken visions Scarlet ribbons Tapestry of crimson ribbons Broken visions Crystal shards of broken visions Scarlet ribbons Oh - death on flaxen wings Swirling seas, churning red Apparition of godlike beauty Pull me under the frozen crimson waves Slivers of glass on perfect porcelain skin Marked again, a harbinger of the end (vanquished by the waves) Of the end

Behold the winter Deafening ageless silence Behold the fury Thy death is drawing near Enter the long night Hold fast thy fleeting hope now Ensure survival Embrace thy growing fear Venture across the tundra Bearing the flame of life My will my strength unbroken Son of the north, son of the light Scanning the vast horizon A village gleaming bright Invigorated with the promise that I'll sleep tonight Time slowed down as I drew near Promise swiftly turned to fear Town ablaze and death abound Bodies strewn on blood-soaked ground All those who lie before us Too weak, laden with fright We'll take your goods, then take your life Is there not one among you worthy of dying right? Save face and dignity Draw steel, stand and fight [Chorus] Lord, son of the north Raise up your war banners high Come, fulfill your oath Fight for your kin Fight to survive The demon hordes surround us The sky ablaze at night It’s time, rally and conquer Summon our Nordic might Came down with righteous fury And power forged in hate The northland wanderer Spilled demon blood and rewrote fate Legend states this was the time Free folk shattered the paradigm One by one the dark ones fell Ranks broke fleeing back to hell [Chorus] Across the plains traverse the hills Lost in the frigid sea No fear of death the northland wanderer is free With sword in hand and torch ablaze Unleashed a battle cry The northland wanderer leads all the free folk Heads held high Die
