bmurator Austrian & UK Heavy / Folk Metal. This is yet another project by the musical genius that is Erech Leleth! Like a considerably more modern & better version of Heart back in the 70s & 80s. This is totally awesome music & I cannot stop playing it! It is a too short & I am ready for a full length - I am hoping soon... :) Highly recommended!!!

PKMetal Fusing styles is common now, but even when it's successful, it rarely results in something as seamless and new as this. It's heavy/epic metal, it's folk, it's synth-pop, and now it's got an extra dash of hard rock and sometimes even 90's alternative. Just as awesome as Part I, even though I have to hope 'Oh Lord' wasn't a one-off.

Bonus for old-timers: Reminds me at times of the great 1985 LP by Satanic Rites. How about a cover someday? Favorite track: No One Saves You.
Norpal

Norpal Not quite as charmingly quirky as the preceding EP, but still an absolutely delightful hodgepodge of epic trad metal mixed with catchy, synth-laden pop-rock. Can't wait for Romantik III, or whatever they come up with next!

The Ordeal 05:08
I wake up, my mind is black as night I might as well just give up this fight I have been holding on for far too long Maybe this will be my final song The centuries have passed, I’ve seen it all This life is not what I have dreamed about, no One more day, one more night I won’t stay, it’s not right Wherever I go, the past is watching me Whenever I die, I’ll finally be free I’ve tried everything to silence them The voices in my head cannot be tamed The centuries have passed, I’ve seen it all This life is not what I have dreamed about, no One more day, one more night I can’t stay, it’s not right Wherever I go, the past is watching me Whenever I die, I’ll finally be free The Devil: You suffered long enough and came really far But there’s one last ordeal to go through Justice awaits after you stood the test of time I’m no monster, but if you fail, your love is mine So let me tell you, what you have to do Don’t need to sell your soul, don’t you worry, dear Gather an army, the world has never seen before And lead them into battle, between heaven & hell
2.
Not everyone can be hero, nor a saint But to be the devil’s handmaid, is just too much for me I have to find a way to win this game and be a cheat But to overcome the devil, I have more than odds to beat The final battle lies ahead and I’m standing here alone I’m on my knees and once again I turn to you Oh lord, help me! I will carry on forever, I will be the one to find you May the heaven's break asunder, may the devil pull me under I’ll be gathering an army, no one has ever seen And then I’m ready to win this game and forget where I have been The final battle lies ahead and I’m standing here alone I’m on my knees and once again I turn to you Oh lord, help me! I will carry on forever, I will be the one to find you May the heaven’s break asunder, may the devil pull me under I will not be defeated I will not be chained And when the job’s completed The devil’s name shall be stained
3.
My call has been answered, I’m not alone To hell with the devil, let’s take her throne The heavenly armies at my command The glorious trumpets shall resound So we will rise up tonight And we are one with the highest divine I shall be the master of my fate, no one will stand in my way Now is not the time to contemplate, ashes to ashes we lay So we will rise up tonight And we are one with the highest divine I shall be the master of my fate, no one will stand in my way Now is not the time to contemplate, ashes to ashes we lay As heaven & hell are preparing for the final battle We stand in awe as the sacred gates are opened It is time to witness the creator, it is time to humble ourselves before her eternal glory It is time to worship the one without whom nothing would be
4.
The Devil: Wait! Before this battle begins, I might add that this one is a liar Anna: Another one of your tricks. What you talking ´bout? It is never too late to repent your sins The Devil: You betrayed me and god, you know To save your lover with your little show It ain’t faith or your piety It’s just lust and she will agree Anna: What do you know about love? All you do is play My intentions are pure, she will understand The Devil: Face the truth, you will never be with him again You will burn, for all eternity God: Stop it now, you’re just causing a scene You’re both liars, from what I have seen To trick the devil might not be the worst but striking a deal with her got you cursed You just don’t wage a war between heaven & hell To get your lover out of his little cell You want it all, but you already know There’s no taking without giving, as above so below No one saves you, fallen from grace, you’re all alone No one saves you, heaven’s above, you’re on your own I don’t care about your wagers and your little games In my humble opinion you can perish in fames You shouldn’t be so selfish, 'cause you know what they say The lord gives and the lord takes away So please don’t call upon me, if you’re at it once more And certainly not, when you’re just looking to score I’m the queen of heaven and the last thing you see Before damnation awaits for all eternity No one saves you, fallen from grace, you’re all alone No one saves you, heaven’s above, you’re on your own The Devil: See? What did I tell you? You’re going to hell! Where you belong! Anna: What do I know about love? Was it only lies? So that’s the price I’m gonna pay, no more paradise The Devil: Face the truth, you will never be with him again You will burn, for all eternity

As the noises are shifting and I open my eyes As the fog is lifting, I start to realize This must be the place we’ll go when it all comes down It would’ve been nice to know I don’t know what’s wrong or right in this heavenly row I don’t know if it’s day or night and if you’ll ever know This must be the place we go when it all comes down It would’ve been nice to know To hell with deliverance Trow me down into the abyss To hell with deliverance I can’t wait for the devil’s kiss To hell with deliverance There’s no way to get out of it To hell with deliverance Let me rot in the deepest pit I may deserve my fate, for holding on to you For putting the world at stake, just to become anew Love is a selfish thing, I should’ve known by now And all that suffering ain’t worth it anyhow Where are you now? It doesn’t matter anymore I’m all alone I will accept my fate, and live a pious life All ambition’s gone, no tears are left to cry Inside an empty heart, I found my hideaway Below the living’s plane is where I will stay Where are you now? It doesn’t matter anymore I’m all alone To hell with deliverance Trow me down into the abyss To hell with deliverance I can’t wait for the devil’s kiss To hell with deliverance There's no way to get out of it To hell with deliverance Let me rot in the deepest pit

Cryin out loud, is there something left inside, to last another day Givin’ in until the shadows disappear, for another night I am standing at the crossroads of my soul And every way seems to lead into the big oblivion If I could, then I would wipe out every bit of my memory Another step and I become the ground beneath, forevermore Take me away I am standing at the crossroads of my soul And every way seems to lead into the big oblivion
