Time standing still in these cold ancient halls
Hide in the shadows of skulls on the wall
They are crying, spirits of the dead
Crypts of despair on the circle of hell
Dark well of souls are now growing the spell
They are standing here, witches of the night
Drown by infinity, Cursed by eternity
Midnight they lead, unholy breed
Brides of hell they're calling
Blood is their wine, travel the time
Through the ruins of sorrow
Crossing the shadows, deep in the hole
Possessed by torment of madness
Drink to the devil, pray for my soul
Greeting the powers of evil lives
Darkness descend with the black whores of death
Unchain at last in our world as they fell
They are crying, spirits of the dead
Is it the price of this old sacrifice
Bloodlust and witchery break down the ice
We are riding out, to reach for the light
Hell to fight, screaming right
The stake is now enlightening
Hell to fight, burn them right
The witches end in sorrow
The stake is where they follow
To hell and underworld we leave

After getting hooked on "Where madness Dwells", I got the newest "Compendium" album... and only last night I decided to listen to this one, but I realized, this album is where I could have started. In any case, it did not take me long to add this to the IRONFLAME collection. Awesome !! sachavonkarl74
Setting aside the Dark Souls theme, because it's been noted at length in the comments. THESE SONGS FUCKING RIP. They would do so if I didn't know anything about the material that inspired it. It's just damn good Power Metal.

This is the best band that carries the spirit of Slough Feg onwards while at the same time offering a more sophisticated approach to composition than nearly every other band in the genre. Truly this is heavy/epic metal 2.0 John Aktypis
WHAT AN ALBUM, WHAT A DEBUT - of course, we should have seen it coming, since Tanith mambers are old hands at music business. Nostalgic, mellow heavy rock at its best with Cindy Maynard delivering some memorable vocals. MUST HAVE for lovers of Sanhedrin, Tower, Blood Star and the like. BoneWalker
