Summoning 06:11
From the blistering seas came a tale Of forsaken energy built on a pyre of skulls For the madman to follow As the dawn unveils endless horizons As the seeds of deception grows tall and strong Without mercy ... obey ... the call I summon the storm Embrace the dark Let the shadows dance Forever branded By the dark sign Embrace the dark let the shadows rule A fiery storm Of the mind A river of blood the gateway to the nightmare open the gates of the crimson king Let out the haunting wails Arise from the eternal Unleash hell to this world Open the gates of the crimson king where abomination ... (it) lives From this slumber I awake the bringer of despair As the dawn unveils endless horizons As the seeds of deception grows tall and strong Without mercy ... obey ... the call I summon the storm x2 Embrace the dark Let the shadows dance Forever branded By the dark sign Embrace the dark let the shadows rule A fiery storm Of the mind

Into Shadows 04:40
I climb this tower Built on the ashes of weary existence Every step drench me in blood In this fiery pit I met the great lords In a blinding rage I spit a crimson mist Waiting for revenge I seek to end it all With desire I drown ... in oblivion Only hatred I seek .. to end it all I collapse the Altar built on hopes of hollowed souls In this fiery pit... I met the great lords As the night falls, into the land Into shadows ... we command I befell under the dark sky Deceiver of the cosmic sight Every step feel my bloodlust In this fiery pit, I met the great lords In a blinding rage I spit a crimson mist Waiting for revenge I seek to end it all With desire I drown ... in oblivion Only hatred I seek .. to end it all I climb this tower Built on the ashes of weary existence Every step drench me in blood In this fiery pit I met the great lords

Standing on oblivion Nowhere to hide With my master's plans We will conquer these lands In the name of our ruthless gods You'll assimilate Or die one by one Until our flawless victory I've traveled for a long time And I brought war we've come to crush you We'll bring you into our kingdom We are the darkness (the darkness) We are the future (the future) We, the cipher that rules you (that rules you) We are one We are the darkness (We are the darkness) We are the future (the future) We, the cipher that rules you (we are ) We are darkness We are one !

In Defiance 05:00
Spirits of the forest May this sacrifice enlighten tomorrow There was bloodshed, on this fiery night The gods were by my side As the wind blows on the field of glory And the ashes scatters the earth I will carry the flame In defiance, I will prevail The cold night embraces the silent land As my footsteps hammers the snow This northern wind cleaves my breath Once again, this path, I follow The cold night embraces the silent land As my footsteps hammers the snow This northern wind cleaves my breath Once again, calls for my return The glare of the moon unveils the mist As the sky is freezing and the snow begins to fall Spirits of the forest May this sacrifice enlighten tomorrow There was bloodshed, on this fiery night The gods were by my side As the wind blows on the field of glory And the ashes scatters the earth I will carry the flame In defiance, I will prevail The cold night embraces the silent land As my footsteps hammers the snow This northern wind cleaves my breath Once again, this path, I follow The cold night embraces the silent land As my footsteps hammers the snow This northern wind cleaves my breath Once again, calls for my return

Into a valley engulfed in wild blazing ashes where time has ceased to flow Amidst rose a stone covered with a mass of thorns ®Onward we march ® yelled a man of honor Men stomped on the sacred vale Thunder has roared glistening on swords held up high Until they dived into flesh The wind grew fierce , A storm was born The sound of clashing sword , filled the entire night No one will cry , when we'll perish , under a storm of arrows The end is nigh , thus it shall be , a last dance into the fray The sun left us , dark is the night , filled out with fears There it'll be born , Time of contempt , an hymn for the vanquished The sheen of our armor drowned in a dim red sea Pouring on the gray burned ground The songs of the ravens came to our ears Delighting everything of it The wind fell asleep , a storm has died The screams of pain , filled the entire night No one will cry , when we'll perish , under a storm of arrows The end is nigh , thus it shall be , a last dance into the fray

Forgotten 05:36
Forgotten Bewildered by mist and shrouded by shadows Atop the iron moutain, waits his endless prison Through forgotten centuries His thoughts are chained to the doom His eyes, watching the world burn Songs shall be written with your blood Thy will is unbreakable, you carry the slayer's oath Forgotten Bewildered by mist and shrouded by shadows Atop the iron mountain, waits his endless prison Through forgotten centuries His thoughts are chained to the doom His eyes, watching the world burn Behold the dread wings Rushing down the sky Behold leviathan's flames Lighting the night sky Songs shall be written with your blood Thy will is unbreakable, you carry the slayer's oath Forgotten Bewildered by mist and shrouded by shadows Atop the iron mountain, waits his endless prison Through forgotten centuries His thoughts are chained to the doom His eyes, watching the world burn

Under the moon's light we stood without fear Clutching our spears, despite our impending doom The wanderer's calls for mercy A vulture has risen its head towards the sky My veangence sound the horn The end of our time approach Sun's fallen between his claws The great devourer of light His brethren risen from the sea To fulfill their destiny Fall in place Then fall into pieces The old legend crumbles while I sit and grin An ominous fate I give to this land Standing victorious on your bloodied corpses I have seen the sun die ... and revolve again I have felt the poisonous stream filling my veins My veangence sound the horn The end of our time approach Sun's fallen between his claws The great devourer of light His brethren risen from the sea To fulfill their destiny

I make my way in this petrified forest Where shadows and horrors lurks I foresee my unholy prophecy Through the blinding mist The passage to the elder one Beyond the forest The home of forbidden lore Surrounded by the creatures The dwellers under the black sky Blessed beyond humanity Preying on insanity Shrouded by the mist, I walk to the lake Singing to me, echoes of death Haunted by the stars, I drown to the abyss Singing to me, Until the night fall Spirit of the forest, enlighten shades of tomorrow As the wind blow strong and restless, echoes melody of life Spirit of the forest, enlighten shades of tomorrow As the wind blow strong and restless, echoes melody of life Down this stream full of bones I'm drowned amidst foul creation I see the great ones On the ancient thrones of tyranny I make my way in this petrified house Where shadows and horrors lurks I foresee my unholy prophecy Through the blinding mist The passage to the elder one Under the moon's reflection The home of forbidden lore Shrouded by the mist, I walk to the lake Singing to me, echoes of death Haunted by the stars, I drown to the abyss Singing to me, Until the night fall

The shores are twisted, Corrupted and broken A distant waste on The sea of black tar It leads to a bottomless pit A wasteland ... for a thousand Souls to rest Everything's sinking I'm tied to the hull How would I untie these ropes Dark waves are coming I can't breath The storm has taken the world Fallen to the unknown Enthralled by sinister lies Echoes from the void Grant me the sight Enslaved by this knowledge A vision of true might Bringer of deception To the eldritch path Sorrow and emptiness, invades me As I forsake, eternity Roaming in despair and madness as I collapse to the ground The shores are twisted, Corrupted and broken A distant waste on The sea of black tar It leads to a bottomless pit A wasteland ... for a thousand souls to rest Everything's sinking I'm tied to the hull How would I untie these ropes Dark waves are coming I can't breath The storm has taken the world Sorrow and emptiness, invades me As I forsake eternity Roaming in despair and madness as I collapse to the ground

Grasping the life with bare hands Seeing it fading within time Carrying a spear through my lungs I'm dying today in the winter's night I'm trying to hold my breath It's like trying to reach out the sky The trail of snow has vanished I'm falling today in the winter's night I've lost all senses There's only thoughts and memories Memories of a tall hall, where I was once a god I'm dismissed The time has come to stare the new world Face a brand new vision and let me die From collapsed fondation shall raise a new home And life will sprout from its ashes From days to days you'll see the world rise And from its fire shall come the light The flames are burning in your thoughts To warm us from the winter's night Grasping the life with bare hands Seeing it fading within time Carrying a spear through my lungs I'm dying today in the winter's night I'm trying to hold my breath It's like trying to reach out the sky The trail of snow has vanished I'm falling today in the winter's night A black veil has blinded my sight There's only thoughts and memories I'm dismissed The time has come to stare the new world Face a brand new vision and let me die From collapsed fondation shall raise a new home And life will sprout from its ashes From days to days you'll see the world rise And from its fire shall come the light The flames are burning in your thoughts To warm us from the winter's night I'm dying today I'm trying to hold my breath It's like trying to reach out the sky The trail of snow has vanished The winter's night is calling me

about

About the album:
The writing process of this album began shortly, a few months after earthdawn groves in 2013. We had several changes of line-up, but we still pushed on. we also made the decision to create our new sound with orchestral work to provide a different experience to the listener. We can cheer jonathan for all the hours that were spent at this sake. On this album, the feel is way darker and deeper than “Earthdawn Groves”, but we keep following the same path. Starting from a blend of blackened folk metal, we worked really hard to develop the melodic and dynamic aspects that forges our sound. Adding an orchestral aspect to both the album production and live act will result in epic and astounding results!

Recorded at The Grid Studio and produced by Chris Donaldson (Cryptopsy) along with Marco Fréchette

Lyrics
Trollwar’s lyrics are mainly inspired by books such as Tolkien’s or Lovecraft’s. It can also be inspired by mythological events such as the ones in old European mythologies.
