IN THE DIN OF THE BATTLE I COULD SEE
RAISED SWORDS SPRINKLING THE WIND ON WITH BLOOD
A FIGURE IN BLACK AROSE FROM ABOVE
FROM A HEAVEN IN FLAMES AN ETERNAL STORM
GODDESS OF POWER
DARKNESS AND NIGHT
I HAIL THEE THEY ARE AFFRAID OF YOUR EYES
A FLYING RAVEN SPREADED ITS WINGS
OF DEATH AND CHAOS
SOUND OF THE SWORDS CLAMOURING FOR WAR
AS THE LAND IS SET ON FIRE
MISFORTUNED BE THOSE WHO CROSS IN OUR WAYS
BECAUSE THEY WILL KNOW THE RAGE OF OUR GODS
RIVERS OF FIRE WERE OPENED IN THE EARTH
TAKING MY ENEMIES SOUL TO REST IN WAR
BLOOD REIGNED IN THE FIELDS
AND THERE´S ONLY THE SMELL OF VICTORY LEFT

I've recently spent a lot of time looking for new black metal that would be moving without sacrificing to cheesy tropes. Olde Throne is by far my best find. The sound is perfect, raw and brutal, epic and gripping. This album is filled with memorable moments of glory (that powerful transition to the riff at the beginning of Cliffs of Culzean, the guitars in Greyfriars Kirkyard...). In the Land of Ghosts definitely possesses the eternal beauty of classics. A must have for all BM fans, trust me! Seb
