Visigoth has captured the spirit of DIO with the guitar synchronicity and shredding that put heavy metal on the map infused with the bass of Geezer Butler. This band is an instant classic.
Haunted by the shadows of the past A howling void in my mind Through the halls of Kaer Morhen it echoes A remnant of memories left behind All I have are the swords on my back I wander but my purpose is clear White Wolf, Vatt'Ghern, Butcher they call me I am the beast the beasts will fear The flames of my eyes are set ablaze Like the silence that burns in my heart I will not stray from the code of my order Ride the Path By steel, by silver I slay like a wolf in the night By steel, by silver I slay, runes of power be my light By steel, by silver I slay like a wolf in the night By steel, by silver I slay, for the wolf is I Solitude, my companion on the Path Though I am shunned I am free For the failings of civilization Have proven more savage than any beast As the fires of Novigrad roar And the stakes of hypocrisy burn I have felt the hammer of prejudice Cast by humanity down from its throne The flames of my eyes are set ablaze Like the silence that burns in my heart I will not stray from the code of my order Ride the Path By steel, by silver I slay like a wolf in the night By steel, by silver I slay, runes of power be my light By steel, by silver I slay like a wolf in the night By steel, by silver I slay, for the wolf is I Fear the night Silver light, be my guide Ride out across the Termerian plains Ride into bloodshed, forever be changed Dark visions haunt me from cold cosmic realms Winter eternally reigns Clad in iron with hoods rimed in frost Wielding black magicks from dark spheres beyond Legions of spectres take flight in the sky Winter eternally reigns By steel, by silver I slay like a wolf in the night By steel, by silver I slay, runes of power be my light By steel, by silver I slay like a wolf in the night By steel, by silver I slay, for the wolf is I
Hey bro, I was just thinking you know the bit "runes of power be my light" I think its might instead. Not a big deal but yeah. Just thought I'd let you know as you've been such a bro.
Broooooo no fucking way! I've listened to this song like 50 times and I just barely read the lyrics. Oh man, I love this band even more now. The Witcher 3 is my shit.
It was a great day when they delivered this one on stage. It is far beyond that today, when we hear this glorious version. 3/3 so far. I'm convinced, if any band wants to claim Album of the Year, they have to measure up to this!
Dana Guill no shit... or this long... I didn't listen to anything until just after the album release and holy shit... this song immediately pumped in my veins, Warrior Queen stole my soul and Traitors Gate fucking slayed me... this entire album is a masterpiece.
The Vader one makes sense since they're Polish and the books and games are fucking huge there. The fact that an American band did it is kind of ridiculous. It also took me a bit to be like, "wait, WAIT IT IS THE WITCHER!"
They are a great band with a lot of talent. But at this point I am worried they are going to fade away. Been close to 5 years since they have produced an album.
"Though I am shunned I am free For the failings of civilization Have proven more savage than any beast As the fires of Novigrad roar And the stakes of hypocrisy burn I have felt the hammer of prejudice Cast by humanity down from its throne "
This song was badass on stage, it is just as badass from the studio. Those high pitched lead triplets were a fantastic idea, especially considering the topic, they really captured the whole atmosphere of the Witcher Series I think. Can't wait for the 9th.
At this moment I can mention about Vader - "Sword of the Witcher" (it was included to the Enhanced Edition of the game from 2008) and Morhana - "Strzyga" (there is also english version of this song).
I...almost...died...from...the...awesomeness... Judging by these 3 songs they released so far (and by few live recordings), this is definitely the strongest contender for the album of the year, and the January isn't over yet... \m/
Great song of a great young band! Finally I can listen the studio version of this one!! Always had that chorus in mind since i've heard this on some live shots on youtube. Great song for opening the album. ;-) My favorite one! \m/ @Mr Metal Blade: thanks!!! You make my day!
Can't believe how good is this... hats off, Visigoth! Missing a Budapest date so much. I'm thinking about the Vienna date, but the cost of travel and all is way too much. But I hope to see you once.
I just found this band while i was sailing through the seas of spotify, bro these guys are a rare and precious treasure bro, a NWOBHM From xxi century ? Bro that's pure gold, nonono, pure silver, and steel !
GRIM T0WER GAMES & RANTS , Man don't tell me that it's not ! Riffs are boring, repetitive and simplistics. Moreover songs are always built the same way. Moreover the last Grand Magus albums are the worsts with no good chorus at all !
This was in the Quarantine Playlist by Megadeth and I noticed the lyrics were awfully similar to parts of the Witcher series. And what yo do you know it is about The Witcher. That's awesome.
Thank you for dedication of mine ancestors! I am a pure Visigoth! Mendes is mine father and Baron ,Lord Visigoth is his name! Eagle make dedication to eagle because the Lord as eagle wing's!
Wow, based on these few songs they released so far I think this album will even be better than their last one, which was fucking awesome. I'm gonna buy the shit out of this album.
just finished Witcher 3 (my first exposure to the universe) and thought of Butcher of White Orchard, and the word butcher made me start singing this song, and then I was like "wait a second"
