AleStorM - 2014 - Sunset on the Golden Age - 1741 The Battle of Cartagena

AleStorM - 2014 - Sunset on the Golden Age - 1741 The Battle of Cartagena

Sailing the raging seas
To distant lands unknown
Porto Bello fell in a day
Now Britannia rules the waves
Thirty thousand men at arms
Red Ensign in the sky
To Cartagena we set sail
With blood and plunder we‘ll prevail
Twice struck, and twice we‘ve failed
But third time works a charm
The greatest fleet the world has seen
To fight the War of Jenkins‘ Ear
Waters lash across the bow
Through Caribbean Seas
The year is 1741
The final battle has begun
The skies are burning with thunder
The seas are ablaze with flame
Set the course for Cartagena
The sands of time will remember our names
The skies are burning with thunder
The seas are ablaze with flame
Set the course for Cartagena
History is written today
Across the sea-lashed deck
Our captain gives a cry
„Cartagena lies ahead
The Spanish foe will soon be dead!“
Portents of coming doom
Engulf the battle line
High above, the heavens sigh
A red light burning in the sky
An omen of dread
Which no man can deny
The legends hold true
We must turn back or die
Superstitious fools
Be gone from my sight
Blast the trumpets of war
And prepare for the fight
The skies are burning with thunder
The seas are ablaze with flame
Set the course for Cartagena
The sands of time will remember our names
The skies are burning with thunder
The seas are ablaze with flame
Set the course for Cartagena
History is written today
Hard to starboard
Man the cannons
And on my command, unleash hell!
FIRE! Show them your steel
Bring them to death on the battlefield
Ride on the wind, and conquer the foe
The legends be damned, to our deaths we will ago
The skies are burning with thunder
The seas are ablaze with flame
Set the course for Cartagena
The sands of time will remember our names
The skies are burning with thunder
The seas are ablaze with flame
Set the course for Cartagena
History is written today

Any fans of Carpenter Brut?

This french darksynth artist is so good, they have been performing in some big festivals, even in metal music festivals, and I still feel like they are so overlooked.

Artist combines together elements from italo disco, horror synth and even some hard rock/heavy metal music.

IRON MAIDEN - 1983 - Piece Of Mind - Quest For Fire

IRON MAIDEN - 1983 - Piece Of Mind - Quest For Fire

In a time when dinosaurs walked the earth

When the land was swamp and caves were home

In an age when prize Possession was fire

To search for landscapes men would roam.

Then the tribes they came to steal their fire

And the wolves they howled into the night

As they fought a vicious angry battle

to save the power of warmth and light.

Drawn by Quest For Fire

They searched all through the land

Drawn by Quest For Fire

Discovery of man.

And they thought that when the embers died away

That the flame of life had burnt and died

Didn't know the sparks that made the fire

Were made by rubbing stick and stone.

So they ploughed through forest and swamps of danger

And they fought the canN.I.B.al tribes and beasts

In the search to find another fire

To regain the power of life and heat.

Drawn by Quest For Fire

They searched acRoss the land

Drawn by Quest For Fire

Discovery of man.

Lordian Guard - Lost ArchAngel

Lordian Guard - 1995 - Woe To The Inhabitants Of The Earth - Lost ArchAngel

"And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent called the

Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

Woe unto the inhabitants of the earth and of the sea! For the Devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time" (Revelation 12:9, 12)

The fallen one has come to rule,

From the holy skies.

Spreading wrath and razing ruin,

'Til the Second Coming of Christ.

The kings they kneel before his throne,

Veiled in scarlet robes.

And in his name their story's born,

And in his name they carve their stones.

The Adversary of the Lord,

He wields his famines and his wars.

The Adversary will be slain,

Christ the King will ever reign!

The Adversary of the Lord,

He seeks to devour, and he means to destroy your soul.

The Adversary, he will fall,

By the wrath of the everlasting God.

Billions of souls will perish in his fires,

In the endless day of the damned,

On the judgment day of man.

Woe to this world and the evils we have chosen,

By the pride and the will of man,

A kingdom built on sand . . .

The Adversary of the Lord,

He wields his famines and his wars.

The Adversary will be slain,

Christ the King will ever reign.

The Adversary of the Lord,

He seeks to devour, and he means to destroy your soul.

The Adversary, he will fall,

By the wrath of the everlasting God . . .

DevilDriver - End Of The Line

DevilDriver - 2005 - The Fury Of Our Maker's Hand - End Of The Line

I do declare, there's something in the air

I'm burning the candle at both ends

Bitter betrayals, skeleton keys

Houses to haunt, well it's alright by me

Rags to ruin, some foolhardy choices

Some would say, not a ghost of a chance

The ghosts in my mind, they're one of a kind

They tell me what to do, and it's shut down you

Some things are best just left unsaid

End Of The Line, End Of The Line

One door closes, another door closes

And now you're boxed in

End Of The Line, End Of The Line

Feel eyes in the trees, the foreboding path

The turn of the head, I hear it laugh

It says "Hang 'em now," it says "Hang 'em high"

When you are done, then hail to the sky

I've been taught to get the fuck up

To dust myself off, and to go it again

The ghosts in my mind, they're one of a kind

They tell me what to do, and it's shut down you

Some things are best just left unsaid

End Of The Line, End Of The Line

One door closes, another door closes

And now you're boxed in

End Of The Line, End Of The Line

Shit

Bitter betrayals, the foreboding path

I've come to shut you down

Rags to ruin, some foolhardy choices

Some would say, not a ghost of a chance

The ghosts in my mind, they're one of a kind

They tell me what to do, and it's shut down you

Some things are best just left unsaid

End Of The Line, End Of The Line

One door closes, another door closes

And now you're boxed in

End Of The Line, End Of The Line

DoomSword - 1999 - DoomSword - Sacred Metal

DoomSword - 1999 - DoomSword - Sacred Metal

For I Am Your God And You Must Obey,

I Am Your King, War I Will Bring

Follow Me Or Be My Prey

Beeee My Prey

I'm coming on the wind

to tell the story on two men

in the hands of a foreign king

they have been forced to sing

Listen to the wind it tells the story

of these men who fought

chosen by the fate to bring

the signs of their king high

searching for new places to fight

in the name of glory

they've been waiting for a long time

to wield their swords of doom

the gods have chosen them

to show the greatness of their faith

tied tortured and beaten

chosen to be proved or killed

but even in those days

they're not afraid to die because of

Sacred Metal are made our Swords

NightWish - Feel For You

NightWish - 2002 - Century Child - Feel For You

You were my first love

The earth moving under me

Bedroom scent, beauty ardent

Distant shiver, heaven sent

I'm the snow on your lips

The freezing taste, the silvery sip

I'm the breath on your hair

The endless nightmare, devil's lair

Only so many times

I can say I long for you

The lily among the thorns

The prey among the wolves

Someday, I will feed a snake

Drink her venom, stay awake

With time all pain will fade

Through your memory I will wade

Barely cold in her grave

Barely warm in my bed

Settling for a draw tonight

Puppet girl, your strings are mine

This one is for you for you

Only for you

Just give in to it never think again

I Feel For You

Triumpher - 2024 - Spirit InVictus - Shores Of Marathon

Triumpher - 2024 - Spirit InVictus - Shores Of Marathon

A warning came of danger

Through shores of Marathon

Ancestral spirits calling us

To halt the evil force

Two thousand years of darkness

Defiled the sacred light

The speaking water silenced

Desecrated Ethnic avatars

We did the Olympian fire

From Aeons of the night

The torch relay unleashed

The message of a wrath divine

Hearts on fire, I will not break nor fall

Rise to power, taken by will and force

"Είπε και ο Φοίβος ​​ακούει την ευχή

Και έξαλλη από τα ύψη του Ολύμπου

κατεβαίνει οπλισμένος με τόξο

και φαρέτρα στο πλευρό του και καθώς προχωρούσε

βρόντηξε τα βέλη μέσα στο θυμό του

και καθώς βαδίζει

Μαύρη νύχτα σκοτεινιασμένη μοιάζει..."

(transl. "He said and Phoebus hears the wish

And enraged from the heights of Olympus

he descends armed with bow

and quiver at his side and as he moved

he thundered the arrows in his anger

and as he marches

Black night darkened looks like")

A warning came of danger

Through shores of Marathon

Ancestral spirits calling us

To halt the evil force

Heraclean pillars trembling

All Europe bursts in falmes

The oath of union is sealed

Opened wide the sacred gate

Unleashed the Apollo's children

With golden bows of light

Shell trumpet of Poseidon

Blown with his furious might

Manilla Road - 1981 - Dreams Of Eschaton - Teacher

Manilla Road - 1981 - Dreams Of Eschaton - Teacher

Running through the wastelands of time

I've seen the essence above

A Teacher that committed no crime

Who saved us with his own blood

Why don't you believe?

In the god and the man

Is it more than you can perceive?

We're facing Eschaton

What can we tell them?

What do I say?

Except here

Here I am

Forever

In your hands

The Teacher

Wasting away the rest of your life

Drowning in women and wine

Can't you see you're killing time?

You've got to lay it down on the line

Won't you help me believe?

In the good lord above

The answer just came to me

I know it's got to be love

What can we tell them?

What do I say?

Except here

Here I am

Forever

In your hands

Here I am

For the rest of time

In a burning sea

Here I am

I speak no lies

You can blieve in me

No use in burning

I know you're yearning

To be free

I'm a Teacher

I've got to believe

What can we tell them?

What can I say?

Except here

Here I am

Forever

Here I am

Forever

Here I am

Forever

Here I am

Forever

In your hands

In your hands

BattleRoar - 2003 - BattleRoar - BattleRoar

BattleRoar - 2003 - BattleRoar - BattleRoar

Just before darkness falls

A beast cries out a battleroar

A roar coming from the past

Warriors live again at last

Metal lives in our hearts

In our blood, in our minds

On fiery chariots from hell we ride

A conquest for eternal life

Now, open your eyes

And see the darkness turning to light

While burning fire rains from the sky

There will be no one left to survive, no

When gates shall fall

And Gods will hold the flames of those souls

Who praise and keep the faith of an oath

Of sacred metal, of Battleroar

Feel the cold steel cutting through your flesh

Into the battle

Brave to the end fight for what you believe

Into battle

Oh, never fall, standing tall

Battleroar

Strong raise your sword, scream and shout

Battleroar

Receiver - 2023 - Whispers Of Lore - Failing To Dust

Receiver - 2023 - Whispers Of Lore - Failing To Dust

Ride the winds of the sky

Never to die

And I'm here too ry our forever more

What have you done

the grief in my heart

is locked in the shores of Icaria

I am the fire

With one desire

Flying away, my freedom to last

Betrayed by fire

With one desire

Flying away and falling to dust

Wait, don't close up the door

Which way should I go

Zeus tell me I cannot relieve this pain

Flame burns in my heart

Has torn me apart

Created by sun and youth fire burning

Life won't be the same

When people have to pay

With freedom as the price

We'll shed a cry in rage

Fate created by faith

That left you with pain

To be free once again I am flying away

The shoes now are calm

They shine in the dark

Icaria will once be a better land

I am the fire

With one desire

Flying away, my freedom to last

Betrayed by fire

With one desire

Flying away and falling to dust

Looking for doom metal with keyboards and other "exotics"

Ashes You Leave had a couple of great and good albums. Lay Down Alone has literally everything I look for in a song, and I have played it with bands consisting of friends and acquaintances (I play bass and basso-profundo/growly vocals). Sleepytime Gorilla Museum might not be doom, per se, but Helpless Corpses Enactment is the kind of song I could play and feel perfectly at peace.

I am hoping to find more bands or songs that are even half as good as these selections. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Running Wild - The Drift

Running Wild - 2013 - Resilient - The Drift

Pavement's all wet - there's fog in the streets

Despite that, a weathered shield just appears

Mysterious search is finally done now

That mystical place you heard of for years

Foggy nights and outrageous stories

Sailors yarn right all the way

Rascals and seamen and loose girls drop by

The smokescreen is reaching its high

Legends of raids - hidden treasures and fate

At a sinister dive called "The Drift" - called "The Drift"

One Legged Sam knows what you've been through

A journey of madness 'till the "The Drift" found you too

Foggy nights and outrageous stories

Sailors yarn right all the way

Rascals and seamen and loose girls drop by

The smokescreen is reaching its high

Legends of raids - hidden treasures and fate

At a sinister dive called "The Drift" - called "The Drift"

Foggy nights and outrageous stories

Sailors yarn right all the way

Rascals and seamen and loose girls drop by

The smokescreen is reaching its high

Legends of raids - hidden treasures and fate

At a sinister dive called "The Drift"

Tobacco and pipes and the dark candle lights

So outlaws are taking their hide

Draught beer and rum and dark shanties are sung

At a sinister dive called "The Drift" - called "The Drift"

Omen - 2016 - Hammer Damage - Hellas

Omen - 2016 - Hammer Damage - Hellas

To the depths of my soul there's a calling

It's calling me, calling me home

So long ago and so very far away

In the land where titans reigned

The tales of old told still to this day

I now return to where I came

Hellas - I return

Hellas - to my home

My heart, my mind, my soul

They belong to Hellas

A million years since my first Battle Cry

Yet it seems like yester nigh

As blood of kings flows through my veins

My being yearns for Olympus skies

Hellas - I return

Hellas - to my home

My heart, my mind, my soul

They belong to Hellas

As I set sail across the Aegean Sea

Back to my home, my soul shall be set free

Where the Gods have blessed me

Hellas - I return

Hellas - to my home

My heart, my mind, my soul

They belong to Hellas

GrailKnights - 2018 - KnightFall - Cthulhu

GrailKnights - 2018 - KnightFall - Cthulhu

In the city of Rlyeh

Lies Cthulhu and awaits his prey

Another poor soul will surely make its way

The mist grew thick shivers on my skin

I tried to run but the air grew thin

Great Cthulhu reached out for me

Hellish fear is devouring my heart

As our ship's slowly falling apart

Cthulhu is rising

Like thousand serpents from the sea

Cthulhu is reaching out for me

A great black stone emerges from sea

More dead than alive I meet my destiny

Cthulhu's tomb lies in front of me

His lust for blood burns in my eyes

An image of man and monster in disguise

From now on evil shall rule my life

Hellish fear is devouring my heart

As our ship's slowly falling apart

Cthulhu is rising

Like thousand serpents from the sea

Cthulhu is reaching out for me

The Lamp Of Thoth - 2011 - No Laughing Matter - An Oath Sworn On The Ashlar Stone

The Lamp Of Thoth - 2011 - No Laughing Matter - An Oath Sworn On The Ashlar Stone

An eerie night bathed by moonlight on the Keighley Moors

A strange troop of men climb the hill again: folk lock their doors

Lamps on the hillside – burning flames under crooked trees

And the old rock flaunts its silence in the winter's breeze

Come in child; don't let the devil in – hark not that lonely evil

These are strange times in which we dwell

Chorus:

The Dark Brothers in the mist,

Follow the lull of their secret tryst,

For the great god Jarbulon

An oath sworn on the Ashlar stone

Light the fire and I'll tell you a tale of the times long past,

When the rock was still so ancient; there druids sat

In times of old in Brigantia's foldwhen the Celts held sway

The great rock stood and drank their blood on the solstice day

And in the Dark Age time when the Vikings arrived the dark rock saw

Infernal rites held to the skies and the lord of war,

And I heard tell there that under Norman's glare

The Knights Templar came

To pray to the baphomet and their dark covens make

Its been many years since sabbats on the hill they reigned

And witches laughed through the hoary nights

devils to raise

The grey stone sits in silence but its shadow looms

And called the souls of evil men towards their dooms

Don't fear when you pass

To the unknown

Spread your wings and go

Don't leave me in darkness

Don't leave me in darkness

One wish we have

Fly Messenger!
