Single Combat

by SHIELD ROAR

supported by

feythorshearth Raw and deadly much like the combat of yore.

8/10 Favorite track: Twin Runes (For Victory).

Z. Janson Savage, raw black metal that smells of blood and rusty mail. FFO Judas Iscariot, Aske-era Burzum, Akitsa, Black Majesty. Favorite track: Twin Runes (For Victory).

T.C. Traditional black metal with strong Polish scene elements, perfect use of synths, and real heathen barbarism. Favorite track: The Din of Iron.

Gabriel Tamas A very straight forward demo! Only martial sounds and aggressive black metal. It seems to also stay true to the Dungeon Synth aspect of early Black Metal in the vein of early Satyricon (Dark Medieval Times and Shadowthrone era), but with more of a brutal and raw sound. the two intro and outro tracks are pure medieval DS while the BM tracks are heavily Synth driven which adds to their depth. Looking forward to hearing more from this project! Favorite track: Twin Runes (For Victory).

Bright celestial fire Radiant wall of shields Banners raised for war Runelore slept in iron helm "Learn victory runes If thou victory wantest" Victory-urger woke Hail to sun and day! Valfather vowed victory Afore sleep-thorn slumber "On thy sword's hilt some On thy sword's guard some" "Ale I bring thee Thou oak-of-battle Mingled of strength And brightest honor" Both of wits and weapons A warrior needs Who would fain be Foremost among folk "And call twice upon Týr” Tíw twice called by Tiwaz For victory!
3.	The Din of Iron 04:04	lyrics	buy track
Ring-giver broods as Yawning dawn-light glares Bright mail and helms gleam Afore the din of battle Shields and spears advance With unyielding valor Glory of grandsires' ghosts Chant in helmed ears The sword-strokes sing Upon lithe lindenwood Clash of the war-glaive Wrought hymns of gore and iron Men of the Northland In armor and wolfhide Stout-hearted wayfarers Upon Yggr's fey path Cries of the corpse-gulls Feral horns of war Heralding the carnage Forever fought in bronzen halls The iron-voice roars In storms of raven-wine Strife, doom, and triumph Amidst the din of battle

about

First demo.

"Where is the horse gone? Where the rider?
Where the giver of treasure?
Where are the seats at the feast?
Where are the revels in the hall?
Alas for the bright cup!
Alas for the mailed warrior!
Alas for the splendour of the prince!
How that time has passed away,
dark under the cover of night,
as if it had never been!"

Youth in Ribbons
by Revenant Marquis

supported by 22 fans who also own “Single Combat”

Revenant Marquis continues with the subterranean vocals on this album. Percussion sound on all tracks has a very large sound, especially the bass drum. Guitar is generally very clean. The more I listen, the more I get Xasthur vibes, but with a more rock and roll influence. Still very depressive and chaotic. A cool album! QQBeastMode
