@@rodrigoalbuquerque5015 They're about a character in two short stories that EC's vocalist Jason Tarpey wrote. Check out his book 'The Godblade' and its prequel "Vengeance of the Insane God" which appeared in the Swords and Steel Omnibus.
Exactly! I have these periods where I listen to bunch of other things but every now and then an album pops up in my recommendations - and I have an absolute blast with it! The line "I warned them once I am the hammer, they are like glowing iron" is so fucking good!
@Myrin Gaines, when you hammer iron hard and long enough it gets so hot it starts glowing. Hence this means "they" (his enemies) will get hammered by "the hammer" (by the hero of the story). Basically the narrator is saying that his enemies will get fucked.
@Myrin Gaines When you shape iron you heat it up until its red hot, which makes it malleable. The analogy is that he is in control of them, and is going to beat them into a shape he sees fit. Its fucking brilliant.
Reminds me of classic 80's American power metal, sounds like manowar and warlord, and I can hear a hint of candlemass tossed in there which makes it more awesome
From the west I hear the riders of Tarsul have gone Into the North, they join Haiklan in war Let both rise up to meet my armies, they are battle-starved And I promised them a feast of two nations' blood For I am not Not to be crossed I command the guards of Lourn I am the hammer In the south Kynara forms her ranks 8000 strong To fight the demon priest of Ill Nitaar I warned them once I am the hammer, they are glowing iron No sorcery can force the Pyre Forge For I am not Not to be crossed I command the guards of Lourn I am the hammer Over the peaks, frost bitten riders of Tarsul have come Haiklan has joined them at their own demise Farick, I ask, my steel is tempered true and armor strong I've forged our brands in the rites of Pyre Forge For I am not Not to be crossed I command the guards of Lourn I am the hammer
I would love if there would be a book about that song...its just like you want to read about a super beastly 80s style band of barbarians in a bloody adventure in the middle of a massive war. This song simply inspires me
I have heard the album here on youtube but none of the other songs compare to this one - it's just beastly as fuck. Simpel, Heavy, Metal. Though the solo in my opinion is meh.
This song take me back to 1985 to the golden age of Heavy Metal around the world. It remaind me to a band called Q5 and their Steel the light song very similar vibe.
I have no clue what he's singing about but it sounds epic. I thought all of these were Elric references but putting them into Google only brought up this song, so Eternal Champion came up with them on their own. Impressive.
So refreshing to hear true, no nonsense, nothing fancy metal!!! At 1:09 the picture that pops up is reminiscent of Exciters long live the loud album cover.
Why has it taken to so long for the algorithm of madness to bless me with this mighty hammer? Nay it does not matter now as I am the wielder 🤘🏻. Also anyone notice the slow mo black speech from LOTR near the start
