Forgotten Lands

I'm still hungry, there must be more
Things no one has seen before
Lands uncharted, worlds unknown
Caves the sun has never shown
From the deepest mines to the highest peaks
From the deserts across the seas
From the skies up high, to the earth below
I need to witness long forgotten lands
Endless hunger consuming me
There's so much still left to see
Mountains tearing through the sky
Heights where only eagles dare to fly
Forgotten lands
Lands
Go and you will find
Forgotten lands
I'm still hungry, there must be more
I've been through untamed wilds before
Chased by cold eyes, night and day
As the hunter turns to prey
From the deepest mines to the highest peaks
From the deserts across the seas
From the skies up high, to the earth below
I seek dangers in long forgotten lands

Attack Of The Axemen
04:41
|
|
||
|
Fires in the night, the sound of battle
As warriors and victims come to lay down side by side
The weapons clash, they prove their mettle
There is no glory lost on those who'll never rise
No remorse, this is our own way
Our enemies know better than the fools who died alone
Pushing on, this will be my day
I see them running from the axe that soon will bite their flesh
Run for your lives
When you hear the everlasting sound
Run for your lives
There's no chance to stand your ground
Run for your lives
Feel the fingers round your neck
Don't you ever turn your back
When the axemen attack
I'll never doubt, this is my hour
As suddenly the ground beneath my feet is giving way
I cough up blood, the bile tastes sour
And with my final breath I see the error of my ways

The Nameless
04:08
|
|

|
The betrayal brought him close
He'd pursue the path he chose
No mortal consciousness could cloud his mind
A nameless dread before his eyes
Unknown the pain which would arise
Detached from weakness of mankind
Dispelled from life banished from death
Consumed revenge on every breath
Engulfed by shadows of what came to pass
A nameless gravestone overgrown
No sign or date carved in the stone
Forlorn to overcome at last
He is the Nameless
Risen from beyond
Out of the shadows he bears
His cloak of darkness
Crush the last frontier
His foes infested by nameless fear
The countless markings in his blade
Remember those who had betrayed
The one who came back to reclaim the debt
Mere moments seperate from his goal
To cut the curse out off his soul
And earn his name among the dead

Of The Deep
05:05

I gained a taste for delectable sin,
Many sustained it, but few have bought in,
I am a sinner in the seat of a saint
I will no longer try to abstain
Mortals granted me but satisfaction
Could quench my thirst, but that's where it ends
If only, if only, my call to action
Could reach so much higher, beyond simple men
Ancient ages in my dreams
A future far beneath the seas
I've founded this order on my beliefs
I am the lord of the deep
They used to call me a saint
Who told the tales
Of the deep
As vivid as day is bright
Can't get rid of the taint
They tip the scales
Of the deep
Eyes, blinded by gleaming light
I take a few each night
They shall be my sacrifice
Gathered my might, became so much stronger
As my tainted reign became ever longer
But as time faded my soul it was taken
As fuel for the worlds but I'll reawaken
My time long gone, again the flame faded
Roaming the world while my coven degraded
Reaching the cities where once the gods dwelt
The youngest divine by my hunger was felled
Heirs of the flame once again seek the fire
Pleasing the old gods to whom they aspire
Now once again I sit high on my throne
Watching and waiting with powers unknown

Spellbound
04:03
|
|
||
|
Through the woods over water and land
In the sun I wethered the heat and the sand
Now here I stand
Through the mist crossing mountains and streams
Blinding ice, I must go on by all means
Seeking my dreams
Bound by the light of the moon
Bound by the stars in the sky
Bound by the blood in my veins
Spellbound I pray for the night
Months have passed since I first heard the call
I was blind before that fateful nightfall
No fear at all
Dancing lights in a black winter sky
Sending forth a message I would not defy
Chosen am I
Here I am at my journey's last stage
Looking back over far more than one human age
Turning the page
Through the woods over mountains and snow
I set out to teach them all that I know
You reap what you sow

Slaying Mantis
03:57
|
|
||
|
A rude awakening at faraway shore
Just like so many times before
The lead's still hot, it guides me right to the east
I will not rest until I find the beast
A path of carnage drawn in innocent blood
My prey has left its traces deep in the mud
I find my way through these forgotten lands
To kill the monster as my oath commands
I prowl the twilight in the jungle day and night
Just one goal on my mind I'm slaying the mantis
The heart of darkness cannot keep it out of sight
I'll keep on hunting till it's slain
The jungle thickens but still I must go on
Through ancient ruins that no one laid eyes upon
A sudden hissing merely meters away
It will not live to see another day
The end is nigh
It won't escape me
No time to waste
Seal its fate
The cold steel in my hand awaits the attack
Sharpened claws and toxic spikes on its back
The massive creature pounces out of the shade
I show no mercy, neither does my blade
I prowl the twilight in the jungle day and night
Just one goal on my mind I'm slaying the mantis
The heart of darkness cannot keep it out of sight
I will avenge all who were slain by the mantis
I'll track the monster through the jungle's fading light
Just one goal in sight, I'm slaying the mantis
The heart of darkness will not keep me from the fight
I'll keep on hunting till it's slain

Playing With Fire
04:08
|
|
||
|
Moving the pawns so ingeniously
The masterminds in command
Painting the image of the enemy
With blood in the desert sand
We are the wild beasts, let loose upon this world
You know the price, the value's all the same
Hear the sermon, a pack of lies
Manipulation's our game
The king must fall, the people crawl
Just figures in the master plan
But one day we're gonna pay
We are playing with fire again
We are playing with fire again
Feed the spider to prey upon the snake
From the distance we will watch them die
Divide and conquer, give or take
We are awaiting our time
The king must fall, the people crawl
For the greater good of men
But one day we're gonna pay

Thanatos

Hear the canter
From beyond
You know the end is coming
Your thread's been cut, you can't abscond
Night is falling
Make amends
The clock strikes midnight
The sand still falls but your life ends
Fear the reaper
Fear his scythe
The hooded figure's coming
On a pale horse he rides
No forgiveness
No parole
One more appraisal
To weigh the evil on your soul
And the light begins to fade
He reaps he collects
He feasts on his clients debts
Keeper of immortal bets
No regrets
To count to assort
Unbound from the highest court
Challenged by no gun nor sword
Thanatos thy Lord
Rest forever
Rot away
Is there a chance to withstand?
Exchange the hunter and his prey
No surrender
Take a stand
One last uprising
To take the reins out of his hand
And your life begins to fade
No tails nor heads
He takes the forsaken threads
Keeper of immortal bets
No regrets
Just pawns on the board
They bow to the highest court
Challenged by no gun nor sword
Thanatos thy Lord

Doom Of Sargoth
04:22
|
|
||
|
Four witches, the temple of ire
Lost spirits, drawn into the fire
Black masses, driven by fear
Lone shadows, ordained to disappear
And with every bitter draught
Darkness infests every thought
Lone wanderer, a monarch of yore
Dethroned by the ireful blades of war
Forsaken, a powerless shell
From exile, called by witches' spell
And with every bitter draught
Darkness infests every thought
Sinking deep into the mind
Forging grief inside
One who saw the
Doom Of Sargoth
All of your hope is lost
Echoes of the
Doom Of Sargoth
Captive of the frost
Grim nightmares, embodied grandsire
Desolation, crave the shrine of ire
Deaf voices, divulging the lore
Forced splutter, a pledge to nevermore
Father of the
Doom Of Sargoth
All of your hope is lost
Nightmares of the
Doom Of Sargoth
Captive of the frost

Cydonian Sands
08:07
|
|

I am the watcher, the silent mind
Protector, collector, the one of its kind
Formed in this wasteland to see what's concealed
Decide when the day comes my power revealed
No arms and no legs, just eyes in a face
Unclosed to witness what happens in space
A slave to my masters, a god for your fate
I wait for the day you meet destiny's gate
Here I am in eternity
Forced to witness this tragedy
Gatekeeper of the only device
To save from the certainty of death and of agony
And while you fight for profanity
Your doom leeches from your vanity
My aspiration diminishes each day
While the last drop of sanity parches in apathy
A time and dimension so old and so far
All beings are trapped in their prison of war
With all hope forgotten an image emerged
Create a new world a culture deterged
Built a machine to protect and control
To keep them from violence preserve a pure soul
A merciless task, with virtuous intent
Once and for all in a world without end
Buried deep under cydonian sands
An ancient device for the final advance
Creator and butcher, condemned to outlast
No conscience or anguish, no future no past
As they float into the fire
Centuries pass by
An unrecalled reminder
A plea without reply
As the void is drawing closer
Time is running out
And chaos taking over
A time and dimension, a gift from afar
All beings comsumed in the fallouts of war
The darkness arising pursuing its prey
An imminent sign of the mortal decay
Distracted by trifles for frontiers and wealth
Evolved to neglect everyone but oneself
Humanity's downfall to all-out defeat
While the key to salvation lies right at their feet
Constructed and hid by cydonian plans
To remain and to serve to whoever demands
Sealed for eternity never exposed
Protected by one, the only who knows
The secret of forfeit cydonian lands
Waters retreated but rock still withstands
An endless existence, bound to survive
Watching forever, of purpose deprived

I need to move to Canada, so many cool bands !! The last song brought me here, as I love the band Speed Queen from Belgium, and the keyword brought me to Traveler. I am so glad it did. Such an amazing NWOTHM classic, the rhythm is relentless, fast and catchy, love how well the bass can be heard, and the vocals are just perfect. The song Street Machine is my favorite, it's just the essence of what I like here. It has been on repeat since I got this.

This album is amazing. It infuses that traditional heavy metal style with that sort of power metal lyrics and vocal style too. The guitar work is fantastic and all the solos are smooth and fluid. The vocals tho, are just phenomenal. Would recommend this to any metal fan, old and new.

Times of Obscene Evil and Wild Daring
by Smoulder

This... THIS is how you revive classic and traditional metal from the 80s while making it your own. I could rant and rave for a mini novel's worth of words about why this album is just... impossibility good. I've had to retract so much because of how long winded I got. Please just give it a shot if it's within the subgenres you like.
