Mace'n'Chain - 'Upon the Anvil Formed' (official lyric video)

Traverse the black sands
The Ancient tower calls
Scorching sun is heating
The ground's searing to the touch
With swarms of vermin
Feeding on my blood
A pilgrim in the land kissed
by the cloven tongue of its lord

Stalked by a vengeful god
My kingdom to spill his blood

The mace and chain I wield:
Upon the anvil formed
My will and blackened steel:
Upon the anvil formed

Behind the ruins
Of the sacrificial well
Through the bones of virgins,
where the shrine dwells

Before the brazen gates
His bane now awaits

Breaking, the gates are open wide
The halls run with blood
Crushing the bones, a violent storm
From his throne he will fall

Stalked by a vengeful god
My kingdom to spill his blood

The mace and chain I wield:
Upon the anvil formed
My will and blackened steel:
Upon the anvil formed

Νέο συγκρότημα οι Mace 'n' Chain. Πρόκειται για το προσωπικό σχήμα του David "Hook" Nilsson, το οποίο ενεργοποιήθηκε προ τριετίας στην Σουηδία και χαρακτηρίζει την μουσική του ως «Arcane, riff driven, epic metal»!

Οι Mace 'n' Chain μας συστήθηκαν μέσω του demo "Upon the Anvil Formed" που κυκλοφόρησε προ διετίας, ενώ ο πρώτος "ολοκληρωμένος" τους δίσκος φέρει τον τίτλο "Among Ancient Pillars" και "βγήκε" προ τετραμήνου από την No Remorse Records. Παρακολουθούμε το lyric video του τραγουδιού "Upon the Anvil Formed" στην έκδοση του demo...

Δελτίο τύπου: «Mace 'n' Chain was formed in Sweden at the end of 2020 by David Nilsson to pay homage to the genre that originally got him into metal in the first place: true, sword-wielding, heavy, goddamned, metal! The debut album "Among Ancient Pillars" is highly recommended for fans of Eternal Champion, Wrathblade, Manilla Road, Cirith Ungol, Brocas Helm, Ironsword and Manowar.

It is raw, epic and thunderous, faithful to epic heavy metal legends, old and new, yet it has the original touch of composer and multi-instrumentalist, David Nilsson. Lyrically, "Among Ancient Pillars" is inspired by a variety of sources including myth and fantasy, literature and the works of J.R.R. Tolkien, Robert Jordan, Robert E. Howard.»
