lyrics
Hoch wie ein Gipfel, nebelumflossen, weiße Grate, Eiswind singt
Schnell wie ein Falke, kreisend am Himmel, scharfer Schnabel, goldbeschwingt.
Schön wie die Blüte auf grauem Felsen, dem Wandersmann vergeht das Weh.
Weit sind die Meere, fern die Gestade, wir sind die Wogen und die See.
Stark wie ein Eber, breit ist die Schneise, die er durch das Dickicht reißt.
Klar wie die Quelle, strömendes Wasser, das murmelnd einen Bergsee speist.
Ruhm sucht der Streiter, dünkt sich erhaben, Krähen ruft der Klingen Spiel.
Dolmen der Ahnen, von Heiden geplündert, sie kennen nicht das höchste Ziel.
Nächstes wie Fernstes, todlos und siegreich, Weise ehren es allein.
Süß nicht noch bitter liegt es verborgen, Weisheit in des Herzens Schrein.
Dreibettlergrab, des Wolfes Schlund,
der Göttersturz, der Schlange Stund'.
Der Phönix sucht die Sonnenglut,
er stirbt und wird, sein höchstes Gut.
Trampled underfoot by this war elephant of an album.
Mountain Throne manage to honour tradition while adding their own special flavour. There are some quirky and charming ideas here. Grendel's Sÿster

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. Scott Malthouse

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. playfulpooka
