Deep in the night,
When the moon doth wake,
They shall emerge once more.
Down from the hills,
They approach the town,
To commence their trollish brawl.
Deep at night the ground will quake.
None are left within their wake.
The Carnage of the Damned!
Their horrid fingers.
As big as Oaks,
For great fists of might.
Two giant beasts,
Tower above the towns,
They both lock horns and fight.
Sheep and cattle fly,
Tossed like stones across the sky.
Blood is shed by all,
None can tell which one will fall.
Tales of death and woe,
Flattened are the towns below.
The hills from whence they came,
Have room for only one to reign.
All through the night,
The chaos never ends,
Until one falls -
The Carnage of the Damned.
Their hellish roars,
Are heard throughout the land,
When will it end?
The Carnage of the Damned.
I never cared about symphonic metal at all. I do very much care about folk as well as progressive metal, and so I couldn't resist after reading the third exceptional AMG review for Wilderun in a row. 'Sleep...' has been on my radar for quite some time, being graced by one of the most beckoning cover arts I have ever seen. The band more than lives up to its reputation, composing great musical pieces from start to finish. I absolutely love the multitude of influences being put together here. David Fischer
The Philly trio have been making technical but not impenetrable instrumental metal for nearly two decades. Their latest shreds, of course. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 8, 2016
The songs are masterfully composed and flow together beautifully, and the orchestration is exactly how I want metal orchestration to sound: full, playable by a real orchestra, and just as important to the music as the vocals, drums, guitar, and bass are. tonycordeshimself
