Grey clouds forecast the storm upon an ancient land
Millanary cradle of men ruled by cross and steel
Craved as a precious stone, source of wisdom and power
Consumed by betrayal and scorn of the fratricide wars
Rains of blood have been spilled upon the fecund fields
Thy heirs have devoured the flesh of one another
Raising the golden chalices and drinking to the bottom
Still this was not enough to alleviate their thirst
Cold wind of doom blows towards a lonely mountain
Where another blood harvest is about to begin
In the heart of old beech forest lies a stronghold
A guardian tempered by hatred and strife
At the dawn of the onslaught!

Siege Under the Mountain

In the dephts of the forest a war cry breaks the silence
Armed men dressed in steel march bold on the ancient paths
Shepherded by the oath to their lords and the holy rood
They seek for the carnage and the havoc of their mortal foes
At the foot of the mountain a strongohold stands invincible
Onward the walls of sturdy stone the troops are called to arms
Impatiently they wait for the sign of the command master
This day they will toast with the blood of assailant scum
Wear the hangman's crown...
Swifly the horn resounds through the air
Warriors charge knowing no scare
Arrows descent like bolts in the storm
Iron and blood merge with the swarm
As autumn leaves they fall to the ground
Guided by violence and loathing profound
Triumph in battle to doom is bounden
Into this siege under the mountain
Dive into boundless pain...
Golden sun slowly sets down and melts with the horizon
The battlefield is brightened by the rays of the dying light
Evening breeze wraps the valley in embrace of a thin mist
And early stars in dark sky summon the advent of the night
In the heart of the struggle the blood flows like a river
Broken bodies lay down exhaling their last heavy breaths
Greedy death crawl pleased amoung the lifeless corpses
And ghostly wind will expire their sins away at the dawn

Twilight falls on the woodland
Pale full moon in the starry sky
In the shadow of sacred mountain
Darkness pierce the shape of trees
Cloaked by mantle of the nightfall
Mighty bastion succumbs to siege
Deep inside the stone cold dungeon
Angst and madness reign supreme
Dark trail of smoke fills the hall amidst the hopeless screams
Serpentine diety sovereign of the blaze born from the treason
Summoned by desire of the execration, thy kingdom has come
Lead the rotten souls on this pathway through fire and doom
In the throne room of falling tower
Among the wicked gold ripped by war
Castellan lord trapped in black fog
Curses the godhead of hallowed lies
Strangled by the noose of the poisonous cloud
The unshakeable stronghold forever decrowned
Olden natural force reaches the summit of break
And perpetual flames cleanse the landscape from plague

Blaze of fire, the path of the agonized souls
Swallows the earth into the vortex of death
Storm of hatred, carrier of eternal plague
Ardently strikes like a hammer on the anvil
Crawling through the ashes of the fallen ones
The serpents of flame advance through the dark
Climbing up the cortex to the crown of trees
They ignite the forest like a blinding torch
In the hearth of the night
Under the falls of starlight
Lies ancient warden of fire
Stronghold of lasting pyre
Time will stand by your side
Earth will bury your pride
May you rest till the dawn
On the stones of your own
Like a blaze above the ashes the skies are painted crimson
The moon reflects arch shadow on the bloostained trails
The restless wind is blowing to the frosty edge of horizon
Further beyond the stars in the haze away from the dawn
Dressed in the armor of fire the stronghold shatters to pieces
The scorching soil trembles by the shock wave wildly unleashed
Carring away the insatiable spirit to the depths of the oblivion
A legion of spectral horsemen rides towards the walls of fog
Let the eternal curse be unchained
From the shards of luciferian seal
This land will be marked by misfortune and sin
So the myth can live on through the centuries

Here below the mountain in the heart of old beech forest
Where the stones are covered by moss like an emerald robe
The paths once traveled by many, now lost and forgotten
Lay under the rug of leaves of the secular wood
Shattered by war, engulfed by flames
Of what occured here remains no trace
Keeper of might, of glory and fame
Only the stone shall remember thy name
Here among the ruins of impregnable fortress
The remembrance of the siege is still alive
The tormented souls of those who perished
Wonder aimlessly untill the end of time

Witchy old-school black metal. Cover says it all. You can hear the band shake the cobwebs off their gear. Vocals and guitar are solid, but the drummer is the one who stands out to me. And what do you know the Tolkien song is the best one on the album.

Joseph Hawker subverts the musical and sociopolitical status quo with a black metal triptych that's as incendiary as it is impressionistic.
