lyrics
Inside the Mount’s trunk, aggrace’d source of life
Untapped, empyreal enigma
Delitable archway unseen by those who fobbed their sept
Peris and fays of holt, Sprites in nacreous robes
Hid the secret well my belamy
The sheltron that ne’er fails, ne’er fades nor ends
Pansophy, prudency, theopneust instruments
The God-given deodates to his dear-worthiest folk
His wit, his sentence and his lore
Pierceable into Nature page’s core
His offering made way
But servants know they went so low
And evil gropes, premeditates
Out of doubt, it shan’t move in nonchalance
Manly creatures
The means for the nonce
Mal-engine and machination
In evil’s name they shall arise anon
Transmewing guiler’s destination
Ossifrages with their wings wide open
Gyrfalcons and goshawks’ little token
Their flying from seas to mounts
Ongoing dolor reflected in their eyes
Compeers of conseil old, raised on skies
A long lament in languorous sounds
Manly beings and beasts
Insalubrious instruments
The curious confused, the peccables amazed
The pious inapt to prosper
Evil outbreaks gave ‘em cause to doubt
They’ve gone amiss
Untapped, empyreal enigma
Delitable archway unseen by those who fobbed their sept
Peris and fays of holt, Sprites in nacreous robes
Hid the secret well my belamy
The sheltron that ne’er fails, ne’er fades nor ends
Pansophy, prudency, theopneust instruments
The God-given deodates to his dear-worthiest folk
His wit, his sentence and his lore
Pierceable into Nature page’s core
His offering made way
But servants know they went so low
And evil gropes, premeditates
Out of doubt, it shan’t move in nonchalance
Manly creatures
The means for the nonce
Mal-engine and machination
In evil’s name they shall arise anon
Transmewing guiler’s destination
Ossifrages with their wings wide open
Gyrfalcons and goshawks’ little token
Their flying from seas to mounts
Ongoing dolor reflected in their eyes
Compeers of conseil old, raised on skies
A long lament in languorous sounds
Manly beings and beasts
Insalubrious instruments
The curious confused, the peccables amazed
The pious inapt to prosper
Evil outbreaks gave ‘em cause to doubt
They’ve gone amiss

The Reaper's Spiral
by TerminusA perfect band that plays some of the most epic and creative heavy metal in the scene, with every moment being at once familiar and ancient and unknowable. They are unique and wonderful.

Myrtle Wreath / Myrtenkranz EP
by Grendel's SÿsterMusic to obsess over. Catchy and deeply personal in the way that only the best heavy metal is.

The Knightlore
by Vultures VengeanceDark Quarterer may not sound like their first album anymore, but Vultures Vengeance embody the same feeling while still doing their own thing. A truly special band.

Times of Obscene Evil and Wild Daring
by Smouldersupported by 49 fans who also own “Portent of Doom”
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.

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.
