Into The Great Tower

I must reach the tower
The everlasting cold snow
I must reach the tower
The endurance of pain, I must hold on
Gather, to enter the great tower
To the tower!

An Adversary's Funeral
04:17
|
|
||
|
Sunflowers dancing in the fields
Roses waving next to the grave
Wind blows gentle through your hair
Black clouds block the scorching sunlight
A tear drops to the ground
The forest whispers a name
Grief of others brings you joy
An adversary’s funeral
Retribution fulfilled

Chastise Thyself
04:29
|
|
||
|
Silence overwhelms me
Embrace the cold icy winds
All Alone… So Lonely….
Visions take me to places never seen
Untold stories of past times
Dreams within dreams
Pain takes part of me
Images of grotesque genocide
Mass murder, bloodstains
Shrieks of despair
The dream goes on
Pain is real
Abhorrence on faces of garbled bodies
Chastise thyself!
Ice, snow, pain, fear, bloodstains
Visions leaving me as spirits from above
Silence overwhelms me
Nothing remains…

Tenebrous Sepulchers

Snow falls
Ice winds
Hail to the Hailgod!
Frozen landscapes
Crystal lakes
Fir, Spruce, Pine
All covered in snow
Somber marches through the forest
Cloak covered men
Fire gleaming
A snow gathering
The ice acquisition
Tenebrous sepulchers
Covered with snow
Roaring blizzard
A snow gathering
The ice acquisition
Tenebrous sepulchers

Wisdom elevates the spirit of men
Religion reminds of times long past
Esoteric greatness found in gathering knowledge
Time heals all wounds
Yet old scars remind of the mistakes of the past
Remember what is stake, what is at stake
The future, a shining star
Take back the light from a far
Revel till the end
The endgame is near
A tumor growing deep inside
Ready to wake, shake and tremble
Ready to wake, shake and tremble, tremble
Ultimate power lies within reach
Long ago when war called (was calling)
Mighty ravens flew across the lands
The wind was singing my name
And now I finally answer
It is my destiny
I am born to be in control
I will rule them all
Long ago when war called, the wind was singing my name
And now I finally answer, it is destiny.

Bleached bones, in utter darkness
Woe, Set it free, Take off your heart, and set it free
Up in the forest, with Ravengod
Your pain is here, your pain is real
The darkness, the fog
The pain is real, the pain is here
Do what thy will, Do what thy want
No one remains, here is my heart
Where I can see, where I can hear
Bleached bones for me
Bleached bones for anyone
In utter darkness
Went out to see, then I came here
For I can feel, the darkness is real
What is this realm, what is this night?
Over the mountains, they come and rise
This is your idol, for us this is real
This is what I never wanted to be
Follow my heart, follow my soul
I will not see, I will not be
Bleached bones for thee
In utter darkness

Arson
Flames burning like the pits of hell
No escape, no escape
Arson
No escape, no escape
Flames burning, torching the earth
A scorched planet
Blackened and blistered
Shriveling bodies, bodies
Melting by intense heat
Seething sultriness
Towards the end
Towards the end
The coming of Ragnarok
Fiery and blazing storm
Swirling across the flaming lands
Swirling across the flaming lands
Arson, Pyromania
Swirling across the flaming lands
Fiery and blazing storm
The coming of Ragnarok
Set the world on fire!

Everlasting Nightsky
03:31
|
|
||
|
Over the mountains, over the fields
To the castle, storm the battlefield
Eternal nightskies, filled with misery
Dusk and dawn, combined eternally
Power, might, strength, come and see
Feel my anger, hate and misery
Over the mountains, over the fields
To the castle, Ravendark
The epic battle, on the battlefield
Eternal nightskies, filled from dusk till dawn
No light spreads, where the eyes can see
I can feel the anger, the power, the will, the might
This is the everlasting darkness
Strange bodies coming to feel the power no one sees
What I feel, I’ll tell them this is real
These are the everlasting nightskies

Cosmic winds, Light spreads into oblivion
Entering the cosmos, from singularity
The cosmic winds
The alpha, the ultimate singularity
To the ever expanding nothingness of the omega, nothingness
The capriciousness of the galaxy
Creation of the multidimensional macrocosm
The multiverse of the all-seeing eye
Burning rays dashing through the star system
The capriciousness of the galaxy
Cosmic winds, Light spreads into oblivion
Entering the cosmos from singularity
Creation of the multidimensional macrocosm
The multiverse of the all-seeing eye
The capriciousness of the galaxy

Iku-Turso Oulu, Finland
Cold Northern Pagan Spirit!
Finnish Black Metal with a Dutch vocalist.
If you like Iku-Turso, you may also like:
The Ancient Spells Of The Past
by Korpituli
supported by 117 fans who also own “The Great Tower”
A very promising debut that was overshadowed by the follow-up soon. But it all was already here and you could hear that only good or even great things can be expected from Korpituli.

Finnish Death Metal. There is fantastic music to be found here with an overall ritualistic feel to it together with a very haunting atmosphere permeating the album. Something along the lines of The Ruins of Beverast but maybe a little less so. Just like TRoB, this is non-standard metal that tries new things & this makes it incredibly exciting for me! Highly recommended!!!

Debut EP from Finnish Death Metal project. Short but punchy! Haunting backing choirs permeate the background giving this EP what became the ritualistic feel that is present in their subsequent work. Recommended!
