Icarus Witch - 'Shadowchaser' (official music video)

Hail hail the traveler
The sacred stowaway
You’ve been gone, oh gone for much too long
And they say you’ve lost your way

No mortal could survive
Without fire, air, and water
But the third eye sees your identity
The morning star’s own daughter

Shadow chaser, catch the rainbow
Wish upon a star
Cross the bridge and join the angels
Your spirit’s never far

Past is only an illusion
Memories allow
Tomorrow offers no solution
Live only in the now

Over the mountains
Where the rivers meet the sea
A blind man guards a crystal fountain
And he can help you see

If you can answer his riddle
And pay a toll with your very eyes
You’ve been frozen too long in the middle
Now you’re trapped inside his ice

Shadow chaser, catch the rainbow
Wish upon a star
Cross the bridge and join the angels
Your spirit’s never far

Rest inside your crystal chamber
Until your coven calls
You’ll emerge the true ice maiden
When the chrysalis falls

Shadow chaser, catch the rainbow
Wish upon a star
Cross the bridge and join the angels
Your spirit’s never far
Rest inside your crystal chamber
Until your coven calls
You’ll emerge the true ice maiden
When the chrysalis falls

Shadow chaser, catch the rainbow
Wish upon a star
Cross the bridge and join the angels
Your spirit’s never far

Past is only an illusion
Memories allow
Tomorrow offers no solution
Live only in the now

Shadowchaser catch that rainbow
Oh, wish upon a star

Είκοσι χρόνια ύπαρξης στα heavy metal μουσικά δρώμενα συμπληρώνουν φέτος οι Icarus Witch και το γιορτάζουν με νέο δίσκο, τον πρώτο μετά από μία πενταετία. "No Devil Lived On" ο τίτλος και κυκλοφόρησε προ ημερών μέσω της Cleopatra Records, η οποία μας λέει σχετικά:

«The New Wave of Traditional Heavy Metal scene is exploding in the US and Icarus Witch was at the forefront of the movement TWENTY YEARS AGO!

This is the band’s seventh album overall, their first in five years, and their first-ever concept album - an occult sci-fi thriller of dystopian rebellion, extraterrestrial wizards, AI messiahs, and a worldwide alliance of witches trying to save Earth from billionaire robber barons on the hunt for Planet B!

Having opened for legends like Black Sabbath and Queensrÿche, and toured as Iron Maiden vocalist, Paul DiAnno’s backing band, Icarus Witch since has become metal festival veterans lighting up stages from Headbangers Open Air and Storm Crusher in Germany to Stormbringer and Legions of Metal in the US!

Mixed by Brad Cox (Velvet Revolver, Buckcherry, SOD) with vinyl mastered by Troy Glessner (Disturbed, Underoath, Devin Townsend Project)! Will appeal to fans of modern metal like Ghost, Haunt, and Sumerlands, as well as classic metal like Queensrÿche, Iron Maiden and Dio!»

Οι Icarus Witch δημιουργήθηκαν προ εικοσαετίας, έχουν κυκλοφορήσει έξι "ολοκληρωμένους" δίσκους ("Capture the Magic" 2005, "Songs for the Lost" 2007, "Draw Down the Moon" 2010, "Rise" 2012, "Goodbye Cruel World" 2018 συν τον... χθεσινό), ένα ep ("Roses on White Lace" 2005) συν κάποια singles και μας συστήνονται κάπως έτσι:

«For 20 years Icarus Witch has been delivering dark stylish melodic metal with gothic pagan themes and occult allegories.»
