Storm the streets, and stake our claim
A blade falls you’ll know our name
Thunder rolls through an alley way
Brute force behind the blade
We stalk the night in a quest for fame
Axes high we deal deadly fate
You’ll know our name
Striking high, crush the sky
By the flash of the axe
Night attack, it’s time to die
By the flash of the axe
Upon the seas, we strike to the east
By the flash of the axe
Ancient wars, waged on these shores
By the flash of the axe
Dressed in black we’re dressed to kill
We draw their blood and take our fill
With bronze helms and an iron will
The showpiece of darkened lands
This empire wields the fall of man
With divine force we make our stand

So I can't leave a long enough review to say everything I want. But I will say this, I love this EP. It's a great little follow up to times, and has just enough of a dynamic shift in sound to prove that Smoulder isn't a one trick pony with their first album's formula. This one really plays up the 70s prog aspects (DUST and Manilla Road influences definitely shine through even harder here). It's still Smoulder, don't get me wrong. Just a different side in some ways, all of which are good. playfulpooka

If Elric had a soundtrack it would be this. It's everything you want from a epic metal album. Like a hot poker in the eye, but in a good way. Scott Malthouse
