[QUOTE=Animosity]I hear they have an album coming out in April of next year[/QUOTE]

God I'm anxious :S

I need to get some D+W... if they sound like Iced earth that's good enough for me

[QUOTE=Stoic]God I'm anxious :S[/QUOTE]
I wonder how Frederik (last name here) is coming along.

[QUOTE=Slave To The Dark]I need to get some D+W... if they sound like Iced earth that's good enough for me[/QUOTE]
Like I said, they sound more like Iced Earth, but they still don't compare to Iced Earth. Who knows though, maybe you'll enjoy it more so than I did.

Okay, I need some help here. I have an mp3 of Bloody Masquerade by Human Fortress, but apparently being a bonus track for the Japanese release means that no one outside of Japan has made even the slightest attempt to figure out the lyrics.

I've tried about 5 Google searches to try and track down the lyrics and come up empty-handed. The lyrics aren't even available on the band's website, and Metal Archives is still down so it's no good turning there.

Does anyone have the lyrics to this song? It's driving me nuts that I can't find them anywhere.

I suppose they appeal more to Iced Earth fans since Jon builts the structure.

Here are some new BG song titles:
Carry the Blessed Home
The Edge
In Search for the Lionheart
Market Square
Another Strange Me
Otherland

/wishes BG wont sell out

Blind Guardian is really hit or miss for me...

I seem to be favoring their newer stuff older their older. I have Somewhere Far Beyond (courtesy of Ollie :D ) and various other mp3s. I still have yet to fully appreciate Somewhere Far Beyond.

However, Battlefield I immediately got into, and now I'm addicted to that song.

Can anyone upload a full album of Elvenking? Enormous gratitude and internet love to the uploader.

BG will never sell out. Don't worry

When MA is down use this: [url]http://67.15.40.19/~morrigan/[/url]
Unfortunately it doesnt have lyrics for that song either. How come you cant figure out the lyrics?

There are a couple parts of the verses I can't understand. Jioti's voice isn't high enough in the mix to keep the word from blending in.

Precisely the same for me.I heard a few BG songs and went out and bought NIME and ANATO and on my first listen through ANATO I didn't really get into any of the songs except Battlefield.Of course after a couple more listens I learned to love every song on there, but Battlefield is still my favorite.I just love the "I will not move yet" part so much.The drumming in particular.

Blind Guardian grow on you in a magical way.

Like toe fungus? :p

I've been listening to more folky metal recently...maybe I'll give SFB another spin.

[QUOTE=Stoic]Blind Guardian grow on you in a magical way.[/QUOTE]

Most power metal bands do for me.It always takes a few listens to really enjoy.It is definately my favorite genre for that sole reason, because once I fully soak everything in, and let the music grow on me, it's pure nirvana.Like Falconer, when I first heard The Coronation I couldn't like it because of his overly pompous voice.But after about five listens, I couldn't stop listening to it BECAUSE of his voice.Ahh the majestic wonder that is power metal.

Folk metal has been where it's at for me lately too.I've been listening to alot of Moonsorrow(though I guess they are more viking metal) and Cruachan lately.And I just got Elvenking's Wyrd about two weeks ago and it's been in constant rotation in my cd player since.Nothin beats Dissapearing Sand or Pathfinders.Nothing.

If anyone does undergo the task of this, put in the Folk/Viking Metal Thread too :)

Right now I'm the opposite. I favor their older material over the newer. "Battlions of Fear", "Follow the Blind" and "Tales From the Twilight World" are three of my favorites. I must add "Somehwere Far Beyond" in that list as well.

Really, I'm obsessed with every BG album other than "Imaginations From the Other Side", and I'm still yet to hear "A Night At the Opera".

You need to hear it as soon as possible.It's my favorite BG album.

I can upload Elvenking's latest cd Wyrd later on tonight.It will take awhile as I have terrible internet but I'll start it up in a few hours and go do something else.

Oh my thankyou. If there is anything you want in return, just ask. :)

so you liked Elvenking, ha? :)

I've got the chorus of Bloody Masquerade at least.

There's nothing proud in this bloody masquerade
We're not warriors from Hell who died for dominion
Pestilence burns like a demon blade
As the hearts of evil tear apart
The lands of mortal man
Black steed rides across battlefields

listening to the mp3 now...

I've got bits and pieces of the verses, but there's still so much to figure out. Part of it is Jioti's German accent throws you off.

I can see... I will have another few goes but... :(

haha this song's awesome, I feel like singing along with the chorus whenever I hear it. Well, I decided to take a shot at this, and I'm missing two parts. I'm hoping those might have been the parts that someone else might havefigured out, so I'll post what I have anyway.

Don't let your hearts be against us,
Cause if you have pity on us
Before
God will have mercy unto you
Forgiven all upon you do,
Your guiding hand through coming days in war.
If you call us brothers,
You are not have to disdain even though we were killed

Chorus

Watch them shed too many tears,
When you find you're spending the
!%$#^*#@%??
But they lay between bodies burned,
Battered, shattered and broken,
Over corpses once had spoken
Freezing ice cold full moon
*** hand and holy fist
Distant hills shrouded in sheaths of mist

It's nothing more than a bloody masquerade....

I'm pretty sure about most of it. Some of it might not make too much sense, but then again it doesn't sound like english is Jioti's first language. I might be completely off though, and corrections are muchly appreciated.

chorus

there's nothing proud on this bloody masquerade
we were not riders from hell
who died for dominion
pestilence burns like a deamon blade
as the horns of freedom tear apart the rites of mortal man
black seed rise across battlefield

the first bit sounds like "lives like this blood company"

and the second word sounds like "hunts" I think that's what it is anyway
and it should be battered, "slaughtered" and broken not "shattered" I think

ooh no, I didn't put the chorus because steerpike already figured it out.

By the way...for that one line I got:
As the hearts of fealty depart,
The ranks of mortal man
