"Singular" by Enslaved

Enslaved:"Singular", (from the album "Axioma ethica odini", 2010):

Born into oblivion
Without the fear
-of existing all alone

Later comes the aquisition - forced upon
The solitude
Now loneliness
The god now submerged in a game of guilt

Psychopathic shepherds deny the miracle
-of our essence
...And yet we have part in the blame

Allowing their ravings,
Comforting their weakness, their sickness
It is time to
LIVE
TRUST
NO
ONE

Recognize black
Recognize white
Recognize shadows
I am with gods

...Black...White...Shadows...Gods

Recognize black
Recognize white
Recognize shadows
I am with gods

Traitors want to keep you down
Rise up from the ground

No one steals what no one owns
Disown and distance

Strong is she who realizes
Ethics built on sacrifice

No one steals what no one owns

One by one by one

(lyrics: I. S. Peersen)

(It´s always a good thing having something to look forward to...., and by the way Enslaved have a new full-length coming up this fall :-) (Probably in october). It actually doesn´t seem that long since the norwegians released its predecessor "Axioma ethica odini" in 2010, but time runs faster than....well....anything else!

This awesome mixture of the 1970´s progressive rock and nowadays black metal, combined with a charming melodic touch, makes this Bergen-band one of the most exciting heavy metal-bands around. "Axioma...." is no exception, especially when it comes to track number 7....the riff-winner "Singular" :-)

Yes, I´m looking forward to next album from Enslaved, let october hurry up....ha ha....

Next great heavy metal-song with lyrics here on HEAVY-SKOV will probably appear on tuesday july 31 or wednesday august 1...See you :-)

Kind regards
Carsten

"FFF" by Shining (Sweden)

Shining (Sweden):"FFF", (from the album "VII: Född förlorare", 2011):

(Dedicated to Susanne Kvarforth (1957-2010))

Jag förbannar min moder for hennes val att skapa ett liv
Och jag förbannar min fader for hans ljumna, snart tjugosju år gamla säd så viril

Men främst så förbannar jag mig själv, du motbjudande fanskap, du smaklösa skämt
Från födseln förlorad, sedan barnsben evigt dömd
Jag är den felande länken, ett misstag som aldrig börde få ha hänt

Jag säger nej till livet, nej till mig själv
Och alla guds perverterade skapelser
Moder jord, alla skogar och fjäll
Jag säger nej till livet, nej till mig själv
Och alla guds perverterade skapelser
Moder jord, alla skogar och fjäll

En genpol så defekt
Ett mörker så perfekt

Jag säger nej till livet, nej till mig själv
Och alla guds perverterade skapelser
Moder jord, alla skogar och fjäll
Jag säger nej till livet, nej till mig själv
och alla guds perverterade skapelser
Moder jord, alla skogar och fjäll

(lyrics: Niklas Kvarforth)

(It actually took me several months to get a copy of Shining´s latest full-length...., (and I was totally convinced that life was without problems of any kind....ha ha....).  But thank God, I succeeded :-) "VII: Född förlorare" is in my opinion Shining´s best album this far...Dark and melodic as we´ve been used to, but on a slightly higher level than before! The six tracks are damn fine, but especially the closer "FFF" makes you think about life.

(And now we´re talking God, I also thank him for the day back in 2009, when I discovered Shining :-)).

Next great heavy metal-song with lyrics here on HEAVY-SKOV will be available FRIDAY JULY 20 or SATURDAY JULY 21 or SUNDAY JULY 22....See you!

Kind regards

"Genocide" by Evile

Evile:"Genocide", (from the album "Infected nations", 2009):

Drag me down, depths I dread
Where I pass millions dead
Conflict wraps me in waves
To show kings and slaves
Sinking deep as I find
Just what lurks in their minds
Let me go so I rise
I hold no more life inside

I have seen through other´s eyes
Such things I fear to see with mine
Visions of a future denied
Pull me away from genocide

Staring down the face of time
Far I drift through the lines
More I see morbid ways
Down I cannot stay
Try and surface from the truth
As it´s pulling down on you
All these demons we detest
These demons are
These demons are only men

I have seen through other´s eyes
Such things I fear to see with mine
Visions of a future denied
Pull me away from genocide

I held my breath
I was pulled below
From the earth that I wanted for
These hands that hold
Press me to the past
Are the same that bring
Me back from the dead

I have seen through other´s eyes
Such things I fear to see with mine
Visions of a future denied
Pull me away from genocide

Genocide
Genocide
Genocide
Genocide
These demons are only men

(lyrics: Matt Drake)

(And now it´s definitely time for some Huddersfield-thrash....:-) England´s ultimate thrash-hope Evile have been around for some years now, but they´re actually quite new to me. Don´t get me wrong...., I´ve been reading about them several times, but the first time I listened to their music was just a few weeks ago, when second album "Infected nations"....erm....hit my ears :-)

One of the reasons why I really like "Infected nations" is because of frontman Matt Drake´s vocal, which somehow reminds me of Tom Araya from Slayer! Not that bad....ha ha...but alright, the difference is clear....Araya is, after all, on a higher level or two :-)

Another reason is the fact, that the four talented musicians know for sure how to create cool thrash-songs, which stay in your head long after listening....

The Evile-guys got two other full-lengths under their belt: the debut "Enter the grave" (2007) and latest offering "Five serpent´s teeth" (2011), and what can I say....may Evile hit my ears once again....ha ha....

See you next weekend with another great heavy metal-song with lyrics :-)

Kind regards
Carsten
