Between the opaque dust lifted
by a soft autumnal wind are
lying lifeless bodies like stones, indifferent to all
The assault is finished this night
No one is left alive...
A black smoke overshadows the rising sun
Today rise the dawn ov the mourn
The cold wind desperds the tears ov angels that
are crying the human life
Many, so many angels went down to cry those
heroes that nobody will remember
The soil is filthy by already cold blood
The frozen ground rocks those children
that will never more wake up
Innocents bastards, sons ov mother whore
paired of by evil
Those destroyed souls that cannot cry or suffer
are leaving their bodies to not return in them forever
From the sky rains down the death,
strangling the sighs ov the angels
She comes down and lands on the corpses
Caressing them frozen cheeks
In them motionless eyes...
the absence ov life
The cold embrace ov death
is their eternal comfort
The angel:
Niaukiasi dangus, tuoj lis vesus lietus
Galbut jo giesme uzmigdys amzinai
Siuos uzmirstus vaikus
Galbut jam pavyks nuplaut asarotas angelu akis
Nes laukti ilgai neteks ir cia bus vel
Karas ir mirtis...
The ghost ov life is escaping screamless while
in the distance weapons continues to fire
Here the sun is rising over a cemetery ov heroes
where no one will put flowers or switch on candles
A field sowed by death and watered by evil...

This might be my favourite of Heilung. They've improved a bit on their later releases but their debut is still much meaner, and darker. Maria's amazing voice obviously steals the show but I also quite like Kai's too, especially on the live performance. In fact I'd say get LIFA over this IMO.
The spoken word bits are really cool to hear proto-germanic in use but for relistening purposes they are going to be a bit obtrusive. Nevertheless the proper music here is on continual repeat for me. Rabbit

Fantastic raw black metal, fantastic in all its meanings, as it is raw black metal that could arise from Mordor itself, as it seems that our italian band is telling us the tales of JRR Tolkien in their orkish screams. Really raw, and melodic, with a really original atmosphere recreating indeed the fantastic world and especially all its dangers and horrific creatures. Great work, glad I do discover gems from reading other member's reviews, so precious !! (pun intended :) sachavonkarl74
