The real genre of this band is debatable, even though most people tend to label them as "progressive death metal", "melodic death metal" or simply "death metal". These tags are appropriate for most of the songs in their discography, although there are some exceptions. In fact, there is a Manowar cover (Blood of my Enemies) in this album, which is a heavy metal song, a gothic rock song (Sacrificed) which is complete Sisters of Mercy worship, a song with many hardcore punk elements (Feedin' the Charlatan) and a neoclassical instrumental song (A Serenade for the Dead). To sum it up, this album is full of experimentations and variety, which isn't a bad thing in this case.
Dan Swanö - Vocals / Piano
Andreas Axelsson - Main guitars / Bass
Sami Nerberg - Secondary guitars
Benny Larsson - Drums / Percussion
Bassist Anders Lindberg could not record the album due to mandatory military
service.
Lyrics:
Three sons have I, and they
ride by my side--The fierce,
The black and the wicked are
their names--we ride down my
enemies on their half-hearted flight.
No voice of mercy--no evangels of light.
Mighty messengers--heathens rage
Witness our coming--gods of the dead.
I ride through the air--
I laugh as I die--with powers of evil
Dark knowledge is mine.
The ride of the wicked.
The 1st sin was trust--
Kill without warning--for blood now
I lust
Strong winds--magic mist
To Asgard the Valkries fly
High overhead--they carry the dead
Where the blood of my enemy lies
Three sons have I, and they
ride by my side--The fierce,
The black and the wicked are
their names--we ride down my
enemies on their half-hearted flight.
No voice of mercy--no evangels of light.
Strong winds--magic mist
To Asgard the Valkries fly
High overhead--they carry the dead
Where the blood of my enemy lies
