Possessed Steel - "Skeleton King" (audio)
the vault stands open. He walks inside.
The walls stand weeping
As they sing to the northern sun.
A dead wind blows from deep within its halls.
Torches litter the passageway,
shadows flinch in the light.
Ancient tunnels of black magic
Carved long, long ago.
Deeper he descends,
The hours turn to weeks.
I can’t stop now
I’ve come from long ago.
Skeleton King.
Keeper of the Dead.
Skeleton King.
Mortal blood will shed.
Slowly pressing on delirious and obsessed,
As Spellblades light illuminates the halls.
And at long last he hears the demons call,
And answers with a battle cry that seems to shake the halls.
Falling dust cascades from bone
And the wretch stands ten feet tall.
But Aedris knows that Spellblade’s glow
Will weaken its fragile bones.
A flash of light aids his fight
And he leaps towards his foe.
Ribbons of steel with vigor and zeal,
The fight goes on and on.
My strikes land every time
And he falters with every blow!
Skeleton King.
Keeper of the Dead.
Skeleton King...
Now lays upon cold stone.
Bested by a mortal man.
The shadows tell the walls of the battle in halls
And he lifts the hammer high.
The tunnels start to roar and in front appears
A door of colored gems and stones leading to The Forge.
Σχηματίσθηκαν προ δεκαετίας στον Καναδά οι Possessed Steel. Η μπάντα μας παρουσιάζεται κάπως έτσι: «four metalheads on a journey through high and low in search of the mighty sword».
Μετά από ένα demo και δύο EP's έφθασε η στιγμή για τον πρώτο "ολοκληρωμένο" τους δίσκο, ο οποίο φέρει τον τίτλο "Aedris" κι αναμένεται στα τελειώματα του φθινοπώρου. Η αρχική ημερομηνία που είχε ανακοινωθεί -31 Οκτωβρίου- δεν ισχύει καθώς η μπάντα βρήκε δισκογραφική εταιρεία (Temple of Mystery) και η κυκλοφορία πήγε έναν μήνα "πίσω"....
Δελτίο τύπου: «"Skeleton King" is track #9 off of Possessed Steel's full length album AEDRIS. The journey of the album ends with this song. The album will be released on November 30th on Temple of Mystery Records. Produced / recorded / mixed by Joel Kazmi c/o Eleven Hurts Music. Mastered by Harry Hess.
ABOUT: After a long journey up the Celestial Towers, Aedris reaches an ancient monolith; the entrance to the halls of the Skeleton King. He presses on with Spellblade’s light, illuminating the dark and twisted corridors until he encounters his foe.»
