Selrisitai Some of the most beautiful, unique power metal I've ever heard. The singer's lower register is regal and emotive, his higher register piercing and powerful. The atmosphere is energetic, tinged with a pervasive melancholy, and above all, the melodies are consistently catchy and expertly crafted.

My only criticism? Songs are too short. I'd have preferred half the songs with each being twice as long.

Recommended! Favorite track: Ocean Heart.

There's a darkness in the west That is slowly moving Then learning how to grow within itself No one here that sees No one in the council believes In all the things I've seen in my dreams, that Out of the darkness our children have come They're holding our conscience against us Saving our shadows our immortal sons I am telling the truth there's no lie They say I'm a madman and my dreams are no use But all my prophecies, I promise you, will come true And all the filthy rich and innocent will die But it occurs to them that Out of the darkness our children have come They're holding our conscience against us Saving our shadows our immortal sons For the battle that's coming will rise Out of the darkness and into the light Children are burning like fire and ice At the end of the nightmare still going strong Forever to guide our fear Leaving the light alone in the wind Out of the darkness and into the sin Conquer the dragons claiming the sword Defeating the darkness you're riding your horse This is a tale that you've heard before The evil has summoned the darkest of lords Slaying the hero I know he will yearn As slowly we're waiting for a hero's return

Powerfire 04:30
We`ve been summoned to a call to arms I guess the noblemen need some meat shields in front of their army The crown and the ring they want us to fight To save our kingdom from evil We should be proud to die For a noble cause We’ve been dreaming of other days In the past Into the eye of the storm They’ve been washing their sins away Breaking an unforeseen seal into a sacred land I take my time and i'll never retreat For the fire is coming alive Into the night of flaming return We all have been lost Fallen holding my sword to a brother Breaking my oath to an other man In the promised land Into the eye of the storm They’ve been washing their sins away Breaking an unforeseen seal into a sacred land I take my time and I'll never retreat For the fire is coming alive

Stand your ground, don't go too far It might be the last thing you do Trust your heart, I'll be your guide The fire is all that we have Stand on your plane Get your faith through the rain We are walking through the fire There's a hero who saves our immortal souls In this light where no one gets me And my soul deserves the light We are walking to our grave In this fairytale of flame Let's face the facts it will be our doom No matter what the soldiers will do So take your sword and trust in me Together we're charging the lands Into the light of fire We are walking through the fire There's a hero who saves our immortal souls In this light where no one gets me And my soul deserves the light We are walking to our grave In this fairytale of flame We are walking through the fire There's a hero who saves our immortal souls In this light where no one gets me And my soul deserves the light We are walking to our grave In this fairytale of flame

The Quest 04:36
I know there's no hope Forever on your side, I always will go The odds are not in our favor I don't think we'll make it alive And the time is passing by my dear I see him smiling in the light There's a glimmer of hope in his eyes I believe the light of a stranger Enter our soul and save us from danger After the fall and I know we'll return As he's taking us back to the edge of the world When the fire has lost its pace And the dark's still the same Even though the saviour has been lost The odds are not in our favor We are drifting with sorrow I believe the light of a stranger Enter our soul and save us from danger After the fall and I know we'll return As he's taking us back to the edge of the world I believe the light of a stranger Enter our soul and save us from danger After the fall and I know we'll return As he's taking us back to the edge of the world I believe the light of a stranger Enter our soul and save us from danger After the fall and I know we'll return As he's taking us back to the edge of the world

From the dark comes a spawn They are here to summon The evil one to crush our hope And fear led our lost to dive Drawing a circle in the sand To start the conjuring Chanting voices in the dark What will the conjuring reveal to us? Drawing a circle in the sand To light and back again The conjuring She is our blood, our only spell Hallowed eve will summon The evil one along from the darkness alone Drawing a circle in the sand To start the conjuring Chanting voices in the dark What will the conjuring reveal to us? Drawing a circle in the sand To light and back again The conjuring A way out of the darkness alone Chanting voices in the dark What will the conjuring reveal to us? Drawing a circle in the sand To light and back again The conjuring Chanting voices in the dark What will the conjuring reveal to us? Drawing a circle in the sand To light and back again The conjuring

We're out on a quest We are following our hero, no rest At the edge of the forest There are beastly eyes that's watching us They're full of evil hate and dust The veil of the moonlight is gone Howling, he's hunting in the shadows Maybe he will reach us and eat our hearts Awaken, he's eating our children Welcome to the story that ends in the dark He's at our tails We are running so fast but we know it's too late The afterlife is calling We know he is after our hearts The veil of the moonlight is gone Howling, he's hunting in the shadows Maybe he will reach us and eat our hearts Awaken, he's eating our children Welcome to the story that ends in the dark The weight of the load he holds the key The weight of the world eternally Howling, he's hunting in the shadows Maybe he will reach us and eat our hearts Awaken, he's eating our children Welcome to the story that ends in the dark Howling, I'm hunting in the shadows Maybe I will reach you and eat your hearts Awaken, forever I'll be chasing Welcome to the story that ends in the dark

Dragonsteed 04:12
On the mountains of stone they all claim to know Of a magical power eternal To defeat all these violent hordes When our magical powers are fading A breaker of hearts, a cease to the war A face full of teeth and his lair full of bones And his breath can burn us alive In a magic light I will claim the dragonsteed A hero will come when they call On swift wind he will ride When the battle burns us in the crimson sky He is black and cold as ice With a horse that's not afraid of flames Cruising through the fire, rain, and ice On the dragonsteed he rides In his cave full of gold, the sole king will rule This ferocious beast he is living He is guarding the secrets within The most powerful weapon you'll find The wizard of light, he's making a plan Summoning all of his witches at hand To kill this powerful beast With a magic spell I will claim the dragonsteed A hero will come when they call On swift wind he will ride When the battle burns us in the crimson sky He is black and cold as ice With a horse that's not afraid of flames Cruising through the fire, rain, and ice On the dragonsteed he rides Ride, hiding your sorrow For the horror is yet to come here On swift wind he will ride When the battle burns us in the crimson sky He is black and cold as ice With a horse that's not afraid of flames Cruising through the fire, rain, and ice On the dragonsteed he rides On swift wind he will ride When the battle burns us in the crimson sky He is black and cold as ice With a horse that's not afraid of flames Cruising through the fire, rain, and ice On the dragonsteed he rides

There's a halo of darkness around us We're here in a circle of flame We all hold the warriors' hearts my friends Together let's charge in like men Charge, the reign of Blackmore never breaks The only fate is glory that will fall upon the reign Charge, the reign of Blackmore never burns Ever do we turn unto the key that unites us A bringer of light in the darkness You'll never be hollow like them Always trust your soul to be divine You're holding your sword like it's mine Charge, the reign of Blackmore never breaks The only fate is glory that will fall upon the reign Charge, the reign of Blackmore never burns Ever do we turn unto the key that unites us All alone in my heart Shine a light in the dark Charge, the reign of Blackmore never breaks The only fate is glory that will fall upon the reign Charge, the reign of Blackmore never burns Ever do we turn unto the key that unites us The reign of Blackmore

I reach to the skies above To save them all to the light A guardian is here to save you all from sorrow Standing above, there's a cold darkened shade It's a monster who's holding the flame Waiting for the key to paradise Waiting for the blackened night to start Take another fight to save the light Searching for the key to paradise And the final fight I came to save you, I’m too late My brothers in arms Standing above, there's a cold darkened shade It's a monster who's holding the flame Waiting for the key to paradise Waiting for the blackened night to start Take another fight to save the light Searching for the key to paradise And the final fight There's a serpent who burns in the water And a light to hear my prayer There's a serpent who burns in the flame Waiting for the key to paradise Waiting for the blackened night to start Take another fight to save the light Searching for the key to paradise And the final fight Waiting for the key to paradise Waiting for the blackened night to start Take another fight to save the light Searching for the key to paradise And the final fight

Ascended 03:40
Regardless of the powers you know too well The battle has been lost and oh you fell You close your eyes and slowly you count to ten Never to return to us again Walking into the void Into the light again Into the darkened wasteland Way after we have seen our cause Ascended to the stars that's up over us Transcending Mooring our immortal soul Never to return to the ones below Ascended Despite of all the sorrow you hold so dear Everlasting soul and high with fear Walking into the void Into the light again Into the darkened wasteland Way after we have seen our cause Ascended to the stars that's up over us Transcending Mooring our immortal soul Never to return to the ones below Ascended Walking into the void Into the light again Into the darkened wasteland Way after we have seen our cause Ascended to the stars that's up over us Transcending Mooring our immortal soul Ascended Way after we have seen our cause (We have seen the cause) Ascended to the stars that's up over us Transcending Mooring our immortal soul Never to return to the ones below Ascended

Our forces are falling the end's closing in And there's no chance that we'll return Last time I see all my brothers in arms As they cry as the city is burning I take my sword and soon make a prayer For the gods that gave us no warning Healing my soul for the land far beyond As I gaze into the distance There is a man on a hill far away And he raises his sword and he calls out our names And we instantly know that he is the one and the answer to our prayers Stand up and fight, our hero's return We know he’s been training for eons He’s moving so swift he’s one with the wind And a powerful weapon he wields Open our soul he’s one with his steed He’s holding his sword and he’s raising his shield And he lets out a cry with a thunderous voice FOR THE FIRE AND POWER OF STEEL! Our hero has come descended from god He’s the chosen one we believe in His moral is high and he never does wrong And his power level is healing Chosen to fight the enemy hordes He’s slaying their ranks and these devils will fall United we stand we're his bannermen And together we're starting the war There is a hero he asked us to help As we rise to the task at the fires of hell Into the fire we are walking to hell Stand up and fight, our hero's return We know he’s been training for eons He’s moving so swift he’s one with the wind And powerful weapon he wields Onto the shores and over the seas He’s saving his fellow soldiers in need With a power so strong the battle is won FOR THE FIRE AND POWER OF STEEL! Stand up and fight, our hero's return We know he’s been training for eons He’s moving so swift he’s one with the wind And a powerful weapon he wields Open our soul he’s one with his steed He’s holding his sword and he’s raising his shield And he lets out a cry with a thunderous voice FOR THE FIRE AND POWER OF STEEL! Stand up and fight, our hero's return We know he’s been training for eons He’s moving so swift he’s one with the wind And powerful weapon he wields Onto the shores and over the seas He’s saving his fellow soldiers in need With a power so strong the battle is won FOR THE FIRE AND POWER OF STEEL!

Ocean Heart 04:31
There's a sea that's so calm and blue That is where I think you are There's a breeze that's so soothingly calm That's blowing all across the sea All the times we have are fleeting In the silence I am dreaming The light you have inside of you They will take it for themselves Way up high the wind and sky will bend In every storm in every breeze That is where you'll be Now the ocean has got back its heart I remember those times, your cabin at sea Fishing for hours and midsummer dreams And all of the stars are shining for you When you're hunting the deer in the forest Now the ocean wants you back All the times we have are fleeting In the silence I am dreaming The light you have inside of you They will take it for themselves Way up high the wind and sky will bend In every storm in every breeze That is where you'll be Into the ocean you'll return, my ocean heart My heart The light you have inside of you They will take it for themselves Way up high the wind and sky will bend In every storm in every breeze That is where you'll be Into the ocean you'll return, my ocean heart My heart My heart
