lyrics

A fantastic voyage to the island of Kyklops
Out of sheer curiosity and protection from the gods
I am more than mortal human
They will welcome me with open arms

Twelve brave men share provisions around a fire
When Polyphemus returns from pasture
"Strangers who are you?" Came a thunderous roar
The monster blocked his cave door

Once brave hearts cowardly sink to the floor
My answer would cause six mens' demise
Their last sight, a giant cycloptic eye
Flesh torn from bone, limbs ripped to shreds
Polyphemus made sure there was nothing left

Foolish decisions, have I met my end?
Will I be eaten along with my men?

I spy a wooden club by the sheep pen
Fashion a spear so the cyclops cannot feast again

When he returns to the cave one final time
I offer the beast a bowl full of wine
As he falls asleep in a drunken stupor
I light ablaze my fashioned skewer
Plunge the stake into his one eye
Escape from the cavern down the sheer cliffs
Taunting the brute who we came to for gifts
Soaring boulders come thundering down
An enraged blinded giant hurling rocks all around
The ocean swells swelled with crashing waves
But Odysseus managed to sail away

The man who blinded a cyclops lives to see another day

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
