lyrics

Ægidius de Hammo
Farmer Giles of Ham
Lay fast asleep with terror at hand
Giles awakened by his talking dog Garm
A giant is causing your livestock harm
Load the blunderbuss with rubbish and nails
and take aim at the beast

Giles a hero gifted a magical sword
Caudimordax, dragonslayer
Giant confused he meanders back home
spreads his tall tale of the fields he did roam

Dragon catches wind,
Chrysophylax Dives
awakens clever worm with a mortal hunger

takes a journey to the kingdom
and feasts as he pleases
while village of Ham
grows rather uneasy

please Giles slay the dragon bring us back his tail
you have a magic sword, we'll craft you ring mail!

So the farmer mounts his gray mare
he drank too much, he was not prepared
locate the worm, few miles from the farm

clumsy battle ensues
dragon springs at Giles
magic sword, strikes first
slashing at lizard wings

begging for your life
you will repay this kingdom
destruction and dismay
I will return in 8 days
royal letter from the king
punish the worm for lying

ride forth with the company of knights
to the wild hills
plume of smoke from out of sight
Chrysypholax rears his ugly head

several knights meet their demise
and to no surprise, Giles bargains again

returns to town, with promised wealth
a hero among men
keeps the hoard to himself
THE DRAGON TAMER OF HAM

[Narrator]
The rise and wonderful adventures of farmer Giles
Lord of Tame
COUNT of Worminghall
and KING of the little kingdom
Aula Draconaria

Synthy, ultra processed black metal. It's a little goofy, but it makes for a nice change of pace from my usual fare. Ghuughra

A true Tolkien infused black metal. Fast, melodic, raw. Strong riffs, great vocals. Track 3 reminds me a bit of Fenriz' Isengard project. Amazing release from beginning to end. Anders Kvistr
