lyrics
Zwillingritt durch gold'ne Himmel, Feuerschweif im Morgengrau,
Rosse schneller noch als Pfeile, so spricht uns der Seher Schau.
Gürt' das Schwert an deine Seite, führ das Heer zur Walstatt fort.
Dulde kühn der Pfeile Hagel, eh den Feind dein Speer durchbohrt.
Preist den göttergleichen Streiter, Höchster in der Sänger Gunst:
Kampfesmut und Siegeswille, Schlachtenruhm und Waffenkunst.
Blumenbewehrt ist der tödlichste Pfeil, Staub ward des Helden Gebein.
Blumenbewehrt ist der tödlichste Pfeil, grau sind die Grüfte aus Stein.
Himmelsritt in kühnem Fluge, Gold der Rüstung, sonnengleich,
Schauung findet nun Erfüllung, sagenhaft des Kriegers Reich,
Himmelsritt in kühnem Fluge, Siegesbanner aller Welt,
Unvordenklich alt die Feinde, Blitze hoch am Himmelszelt.
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
