Lady Beast - 'The Oracles Omen' (official visualizer video)

I wander, adrift like a lost soul.
I spin out of control, the glass feeling half full.
From the darkness, she came as if I called.
Candlewax dripped down her shawl,
when our eyes meet, she sees it all.

There is no escape,
when the Oracle has spoken your fate.
Shadows of strife,
the truth cuts like a knife...

Summoned like I’m under a trance.
The soothsayer starts to dance upon a red pentagram.
You chose,
The tools to cross the realm!
Tarot or rune in hand, or scrying in the sacred sands?
Her omens echo...
They chill me to the bone.
She whispers in my ear, “What is it you really fear?”

There is no escape,
when the Oracle has spoken your fate.
Shadows of strife,
makes the truth cut like a knife.
I chose the tools to cross the realm!
I clear the shadows which I found,
deep down that had be bound.
The smoke clears,
I see what must be done.
I will no longer run from the darkness when it comes...

It comes...
I will no longer run, oh no!

There is no escape,
when the Oracle has spoken your fate.
Shadows of strife,
makes the truth cut like a knife.

Lady Beast: Αμερικάνικο heavy metal συγκρότημα με γυναίκα στα φωνητικά (Deborah Levine). Δημιουργήθηκε το 2009, αναφέρει ως επιρροές μπάντες όπως οι Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Dio, Mercyful Fate κλπ και μας συστήνεται κάπως έτσι:

«Lady Beast is based out of Pittsburgh, PA and is everything Heavy Metal... with NWOBHM influence combined with Motorhead, Thin Lizzy, Mercyful Fate.»

Οι Lady Beast έχουν κυκλοφορήσει τέσσερα full length albums ("Lady Beast" 2012, "Lady Beast II" 2015, "Vicious Breed" 2017, "The Vulture's Amulet" 2020) δύο EPs ("Metal Immortal" 2016, "Omens" 2021) και δύο singles.

Ο πέμπτος "ολοκληρωμένος δίσκος των Lady Beast βρίσκεται προ των πυλών. Φέρει τον τίτλο "The Inner Alchemist" και αναμένεται στα τελειώματα του πρώτου φθινοπωρινού μήνα, με το τραγούδι "The Oracles Omen" να προετοιμάζει το έδαφος και το δελτίο τύπου να μας δίνει τις λεπτομέρειες:

«Since 2009, Lady Beast have been flying the flag for refined HEAVY METAL. The band hail from the Steel City of Pittsburgh, forming with firm influences ranging from Motörhead, Dio, Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, and Mercyful Fate.

From there, Lady Beast have weaved their own unique style of metal with silky-yet-sharp harmonizing guitars and the soaring, rally-the-warriors vocals of frontwoman Deborah Levine. All the while, they’ve retained their blue-collar roots but have never forgotten the majesty of metal in its earliest, most classic form: fantasy, magic, epic adventure, and of course ANTHEMS!

While it’s been five long years since their last full-length - but only a year after Dying Victims stepped in to reissue on vinyl their second album, 2015’s pivotal Lady Beast II - Lady Beast suitably explode from the gates with palpitating urgency on The Inner Alchemist.

Mind you, the band aren’t necessarily trying to break any speed limits here on LP#5, but rather, it’s the power, poise, and all-out swagger they exude on The Inner Alchemist which instills the sensation that Lady Beast have only been away mere minutes.

Thankfully, little has changed in their sturdy aesthetic - authentically ‘80s-entrenched HEAVY METAL that struts and gallops with equal aplomb, buttressed by instantly-hummable riffs and a palpable atmosphere of swords & sorcery - but if there’s one main distinction, it’s that the production on The Inner Alchemist highlights their heaviness, giving crunch when proceedings go locomotive and majesty when those proceedings go harmonic.

As always, Levine’s passionate & powerful vocals are as engaging as ever: emotive and narrative in equal measure, still standing tall atop the keep-it-true pack. Graced with evocative cover artwork by Adam Burke, Lady Beast are sure stirring up something with The Inner Alchemist!»
