flightoficarus (Metal Trenches) Blackened, melodic death metal with really great drumming. The croaky vocals give me Inquisition vibes.

Mist enclosing in, enshrouded by fog. Expanse of nothingness. Stone formations, inclined volitation, timber cognizant. In depths of desolate grounds embers and with it fire. The Fire of the First Flame. With it came heat and cold. With it came light and dark. With it came life and death. From the dark, Hollow life. From the dark eternal mark cast upon mankind. Dawn of a new age. Inherent Disparity. The Age of Fire. Embers endure, fire quickly fades, Leading to dissolution. Sacrifice what makes us be, to prolong what we see. Sacrifice what makes us live. Great sole one part his own soul. Suffering to stop immanent fate. Nothing could ever last, Coil of this land. Spread of the dark within us all. Morrow of the next day a fading light. Humanity in disarray. Chaos the only state.

In depths of inner self a fading sun, a single ray. Temptation of dismay. Countless minds victims of their own thought. What we perceive and what we find, archaic shells of days gone by. Contemporary wisdom of victims of disregard. Imperfections lasting lifetimes. burdened by sorrow. Darkness within ourselves collapse on us. Frail dire beings concealed. Slip away, make it plain torture inhumane, take the breath away. Crawling towards the cerebral cortex clouded dusk of inner grief. Nebulous pleasure fills my gourd, recollections i cant bear. Crawling towards the cerebral cortex clouded dusk of inner grief. In depths of inner self a fading sun, a single ray. Temptation of dismay. Countless minds victims of their own thought. What we perceive and what we find, archaic shells of days gone by. Contemporary wisdom of victims of disregard. Imperfections lasting lifetimes. burdened by sorrow. Contemporary wisdom of victims of disregard. Imperfections lasting lifetimes. burden my fault.

Imprisoned by our own minds, confined by our own reasons Gallop through the fields of dismay, task that a mind can not fail. Unlock the gates of tyranny. The illusory euphoria. Illusions our mind casts, unaware of our past. Sail through the Sea of Sorrow. Savor things that may seem only minor. Unlock the gates of tyranny. The illusory euphoria. Misery of denial, grief of desire. Grief upon sorrow, view narrow, inside terror. Unlock the gates of tyranny. The illusory euphoria.

Age of fire ending. flames are fadding. There are only embers, only the dark remains. Not the first, not the last. No salvation here. Another soul to ring the Bells of Awakening. Driven from our lands to Link the Fire. Seal of fire placed on to mankind. Humanity seeps, Branded by the Darksign. Flames fading. Darkness remains. Locked away to await the end of the world. This is your fate, Fate of the Undead. Locked away to await the end. Reanimated from the dead. Losing sanity, Lapse of judgment. Hunted by The way of the White. Placed in the Asylum, no hope in sight. For I am not the Chosen One just a carrier of a Darksign. Body in decay, becoming one with the Abyss- Flames fading. Darkness remains. Locked away to await the end of the world. This is your fate, Fate of the Undead. Locked away to await the end. Descent into lucid madness, fate is more than just merely sealed. Sealed within an Abyss. Lost my mind, going hollow. life like this there is no value. Memory lost, filled with fears, life is corrupt hollowed with tears. Unrecognizable body of mine, Oh, what have I become. Why couldn't I be the one chosen undead, to save this land from the spread of the Abyss. Locked away to await the end of the world. This is your fate, Fate of the Undead. Locked away to await the end.

Sun Seeker 05:42
"I am Solaire of Astora. I have come to this great land, the birthplace of Lord Gwyn, to seek my very own sun!" How long can this last? The question left in my mind Time passed, no indication To feed my deprivation To see life in another way Spread of disease on your hands We are amidst strange beings, in a strange land Seeking my own sun Solaire of Astora Losing hope Turning hollow No sun in sight To save me From this land From this curse Spread your disease All through my veins Don't spare me now No reason found To carry on There is no sun Was it all a lie? Have I done this for nothing? Searching from Dusk till dawn What if I am seen as a laughing stock? as a blind fool without reason? Perish away, Warrior of Sunlight Perish away, Solaire of Astora.

Eaten from the inside, slow death. Dying eyes saw the last day. Never more. Take me back to innocence. Dreams, wonder ahead Future undecided Ungetable fantasy No more time left to say goodbye, everyone Cycle of life Memories start to fadeaway. Gone all that i had. My life became a forgotten memory Hourglass sand is running out, dying before my very eyes. Questioning the mortality of our own life. Why would he allow this, questioning the existence of a so-called wiser form. Life cruelly ripped and torn. No reason left to believe, maybe when I'm old and scared. "What lies beyond this plain? God, please i am scared of Death". Hourglass sand is running out, dying before my very eyes. Questioning the mortality of our own life. Hourglass sand has run out, what happens now we don't know, until the time comes, when our dying sun fades.

Delve into darkness, find what dwells within. Awaken man of the primordial Open the casket, open the grave, awaken man of the primordial In Dire fate Serpent of deceit fulfill desolate prophecy Forbearer of all humanity, Father of Abyss Primordial man awaken now. Father of Abyss. Swallow us Abyss, leave no soul. Devour our land, Incite his wrath. Unstoppable lucid madness. Kill and slaughter, drown in vital fluid, Passion filled rage. Resentment of mankind, mutated gone astray. Emanating darkness, no asylum. No knight, no carnivore, left only fragments of a brave warrior soul. Consumed by the man (i)n us Abyss will always remain within us, within our only soul, carriers of a dark fragment. We are bearers, bearers of a Dark Soul.

about

First full length LP album from Astora called "The First Flame".

Album and songs also available on all other platforms as well. (Spotify, Youtube, Amazon...)

The first third of the album with tracks "The First Flame", "Darkness Within Ourselves", "Illusory Euphoria" is a mix of melodic death metal, post metal,
black metal and old school death metal.

The second third is where things get slightly heavier. Down tuned guitars and old school death metal riffs with black metal influences. In tracks "Fate of the Undead and Sun Seeker".

Following that is a small instrumental "Perished", which leads back to more melodic songs "Hourglass Sand" and Father of the Abyss"

Yes, as you might have guessed by the name of the band, name of the album and songs, the lyrics are about and/or are influenced by the Dark Souls video game series.
