Blood of the Fall

MindOverFour This release was on my wish list for such a long time. But that was not because of its quality. It has touches of every kind of metal. I think unclassifiable stuff like this often falls between the cracks. Better than the last few Mastodon albums if you ask me. Every song is epic, diverse, and catchy as hell. Favorite track: Lord of the Suffering.

V_Shaft The followup to the excellent (and short) Wolves & Trees debut. This time it's a full length 50 minutes affair, filled with powerful, crunchy heavy metal goodness. I'd prefer if the album wasn't so loud (with more dynamic range), but it's still a killer not to be missed! Favorite track: Cotards Blade.

Derek Bortz Sounds like Sleeping Giant and Tourniquet. They do so much with so little. Favorite track: The Horde.

The Horde 01:17

Rite to Kill 05:53
Unslaved, lift time - as moon it reaps the fate. We can live for today. Rise this night! We watch with eyes of gold. Dead heavens fight to be pierced by the sky. What it takes to let you know - Memories of violent self control. Some are born to chase these thrills, while some are born with a rite to kill. All of our angels, our saints - are marked with falling times Our brothers reach for today. Drive aside – we hide our childrens’ hands. Our soldiers’ dead lies will breed terrible eyes. What it takes to let you know - Memories of violent self control. Some are born to chase these thrills, while some are born with a rite to kill. No more to need – no coming home. Shut it out. Let it glow.

A group of men become the wiser. A faction - a guild. Torturous and strong among them, lives that build. With a weighed down holding grasp, silence escapes “All hail to the autumn” Beasts of yore are all you see. Hell that lives in shaded trees. Circle round the flame. Raising praise from which you came. Born again today Among the ashes - Among the ashes and the graves. The clouds of dusk begin to hover, the sun laying to waste Fields that once grew strong and fertile Are now bitter to taste As the sect grows close with strength, new reality breathes... “Our time of ascension” Beasts of yore are all you see Hell that lives in shaded trees Circle round the flame Raising praise from which you came Born again today Among the ashes - Among the ashes and the graves. With a weighed down holding grasp, silence escapes.

Call your mother little ones. I can’t bare to tell you the news. For your rites - for the sun and the moon and the night. All were killed and destined to lose. We can be masters. Right from the start - my opening eyes... Forever forsaken as one Infinite corpses. Undefined. Torn Apart. They watch close as I walk through the streets. Time it echoes as I move. They take time - take my light, pulling wool in from the sides. Every step forward beckons to soothe. We can be masters. Right from the start - my opening eyes... Forever forsaken as one Infinite corpses Undefined. Torn Apart. All my kin an illusion to me. Kiss my forehead before I’m consumed. Feel the pain as the steel turns inside This mistake isn’t one that I choose.
5.
Disbanded ones lose their souls. As above – so below. Untrusted – vigilant – despised. Kicked and banished to die. Alone – they are the stars they see. When they drive their minds into sleep. Feeble, susceptible. Revival – the one true lie. Alone – they are the stars they see. Leave them as they lay. Dissonant, lost – they’re on the way. Leave them as they lay.

Breathing in, barely - Horrified Calm. The Son of the Dead man wandering on. This war inside makes no mistakes. Hide now, this killing moon has fractured the gates. With night comes war. Fire it lives free from this flame. This village will fall, but not with a name. Cradled death and lullabies. Clean eyes peeled open and burned by the skies.
8.
I am the flood, the separator of the saved. The war of the worlds. Beyond your devastator. Bright lights, Prophecies, Enemy - ever ruling skies I am the might, the weight of the sun. Blood of the heavens. The seas, the breeze, the night. Beyond your devastator. Bright lights, Prophecies, Enemy - ever ruling skies I am your gods I am the way this will flow Turning tides, running lives - with a strength abound to grow See you now a spec of earth - I graze on all your means. Mightier than any soul... Bright lights, Prophecies, Enemy - ever ruling skies

Halfhand 05:36
Once, a world painted in words, erased and gone No ritual of warning Lifeless, dead nerves no longer... Disdain....a dying man Nerves awaken From my fingers the blood ran I’ll survive as long as I can I’m not your savior, don’t care about your precious land Flashing red lights - fade to blood-fire eyes Piercing and breathing Laughing out lies The power of this earth, revival from this land A dark cloud of doom heals an outcast man An unwilling savior – internal war began The second coming of... Flashing red lights - fade to blood-fire eyes Piercing and breathing Laughing out lies Unbeliever, white gold wielder... A man who has been lost, a man without pain – both mad and sane....into a world of hope...

Lord of the suffering, shrouded in veils, release me from this hell. While I’ve been glistening, crimson and black, I am the devil incarnate. Substantial memories, faded to grasp, I do remember your aura – Lord of the suffering grant me this wish – I wish to spoil the savior. Fire light. My eyes have multiplied, vision is clear, these demons they do excite me. I travel justified, hidden at night – one touch and death is upon you. This sickle’s parody, a reference at most – I am the only true nothing. Be careful what you wish, I am the one who’ll be your fine resolution. Silence. Evil and Right and all in the night - I am the one solution. Fire light.
