Bloodbound - 'Slayer of Kings' (official live video)

Prophets in crystal and visions in mind
They're selling the seeds of their own vicious kind
And the tale of darkness prevails on and on

Wizards of magic and saver of souls
Planting the greed of their devious moles
And the spell of silver and sword takes me home

Father told me: don't believe in the magic stories
Son no one showed me how to see them through

Fallen wizards and rings
From the north we gather unite the lords
I am calling fire and wings
And the sword by the slayer of kings

Seven in heaven and tears fool the blind
Merchants of madness obscene you will find
And they tear through clouds in the skies, legends born

The price of your life in the palm of my hand
From this day and on is my wish your command
And the tale of darkness prevails on and on

Father told me: don't believe in the magic stories
Son no one showed me how to see them through

Fallen wizards and rings
From the north we gather unite the lords
I am calling fire and wings
And the sword by the slayer of kings

In life, we learn, in hell, always darkness
We fight, with sword, and shield, end the battle
To rise, or fall, we stand, all in heaven
Unite, and turn, tonight, my master
We fly, and burn, enlighten, fire from the sky

Fallen wizards and rings
From the north we gather unite the lords
I am calling fire and wings
And the sword by the slayer of kings

Το μακρινό 2004 δύο πρώην μέλη των Street Talk και των Shape, ο Tomas Olsson και ο Fredrik Bergh, δημιούργησαν τους Bloodbound. Κάτι που σημαίνει ότι η Σουηδική μπάντα συμπληρώνει φέτος είκοσι έτη ύπαρξης.

Με αφορμή τα εικοστά γενέθλια οι Bloodbound θα κυκλοφορήσουν το δεύτερο live album της καριέρας τους. Φέρει τον τίτλο "The Tales of Nosferatu: Two Decades of Blood (2004-2024)" και θα κυκλοφορήσει τον επόμενο μήνα σε cd (13 τραγούδια) συν blu-ray (25 τραγούδια) σε 1.000 αντίτυπα και σε διπλό βινύλιο (500 αντίτυπα)...

Δελτίο τύπου: «The Swedish power metal band Bloodbound is celebrating its birthday! Twenty years of band existence and twenty years packed with studio albums and a lot of big festival appearances and tours.

Now it's time to pay homage to the band with a live album, which with songs like "Battle in the Sky", "The Warlock's Trail" or "Drink with the Gods" has earned them an unthinkable place on the power metal throne and a standing as a great live band.

"The Tales of Nosferatu - Two Decades of Blood" is the band's second live album and the package is packed full. In addition to the 2LP version in the matching Blood Splatter design, there will be a CD Earbook, which includes an extra Blu-Ray with various live performances and all the music videos.

Both configurations will include a comic, which was designed especially for this album and depicts the fictional story of the band mascot Nossen.

Those who opt for the CD Earbook can also look forward to liner notes from each band member, reflecting on two decades of band history. So it's not just any old live album. It's a collage of everything that makes Bloodbound so good: their shows, their songs & their creativity.»
