lyrics
They stood against, prest, with their gauntlets
The lethal bargain’s on hand
Contestants twain, quaint, stiff and potent
They bandied blows, no deliverance
He spawned behavior immodest and inapt
(An) Ignoble and inimical welcome
The challenge’s clear and immediate
One of us must encounter the king
Th’ one like a star in a full sky vault
Th’ other like an acherontic beast
Polydeukes ‘gainst lord Amycus
Two corrivals in a boxing affair
Goad him not for thou’ lt front on defeat
Waive thy pride, withdraw and retreat
Display him not thy brutish ill-mien
Steer clear of troublous Death that’s eath to be seen
They stood against, prest, with their gauntlets
The lethal bargain’s on hand
Huffing and puffing, panting for breath
Gnashing their teeth, inviting Death
Dioskur rushed Him with a blast ‘bove th’ ear
The king fell down, his very life gushed out
Dare him not for thou’ lt front on defeat
Waive all elation, withdraw and retreat
Depict him not thy brutish ill-mien
Steer of spiteful Death that’s readily to be seen
Amycus expired, his end ignites the war
Of ill-fated Bebrycians be the doom they forced to meet, infamous and shameful
Breathless one by one they fall
Headless lie on palace’s floor
Lord’s subjects sink to rise no more
Thus don’t ponce ‘round when facing a fatiferous force
When thy hostile manners raise futile strife
Deny thy pride and skip thy idle rules, conceal, crush and burn ‘em
The lethal bargain’s on hand
Contestants twain, quaint, stiff and potent
They bandied blows, no deliverance
He spawned behavior immodest and inapt
(An) Ignoble and inimical welcome
The challenge’s clear and immediate
One of us must encounter the king
Th’ one like a star in a full sky vault
Th’ other like an acherontic beast
Polydeukes ‘gainst lord Amycus
Two corrivals in a boxing affair
Goad him not for thou’ lt front on defeat
Waive thy pride, withdraw and retreat
Display him not thy brutish ill-mien
Steer clear of troublous Death that’s eath to be seen
They stood against, prest, with their gauntlets
The lethal bargain’s on hand
Huffing and puffing, panting for breath
Gnashing their teeth, inviting Death
Dioskur rushed Him with a blast ‘bove th’ ear
The king fell down, his very life gushed out
Dare him not for thou’ lt front on defeat
Waive all elation, withdraw and retreat
Depict him not thy brutish ill-mien
Steer of spiteful Death that’s readily to be seen
Amycus expired, his end ignites the war
Of ill-fated Bebrycians be the doom they forced to meet, infamous and shameful
Breathless one by one they fall
Headless lie on palace’s floor
Lord’s subjects sink to rise no more
Thus don’t ponce ‘round when facing a fatiferous force
When thy hostile manners raise futile strife
Deny thy pride and skip thy idle rules, conceal, crush and burn ‘em

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

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.
