Born By The Wind

Bloodbath Fanzine This is raw and unpolished which by my reckoning is really the only way epic metal should be, not a synthesizer horn in sight. Excellent! Favorite track: Born By The Wind.
Warlust

Warlust Debut EP from the UK's STARBORN. Unpolished, technical and speedy, with bad-ass guitar riffs, pounding drums, soaring vocals with a gritty edge and cool, well written songs to bring all those elements together. A breath of fresh air just in time for Spring. Highly recommended for fans of underground Power Metal! Favorite track: Born By The Wind.

I am cold at heart, I am deserving, and I am faithful I am majesty, I am a heathen, and I'm a criminal... I am a follower, I am a leader, I'm judge and jury There is darkness, there is light, there is a message: "A rose by any other name would smell as sweet" Ask me for guidance, I will yield, I will cross the burning fields To have my vengeance over thee. Make no mistake, I'll spare the earth And your cries will go unheard Your damn soul belongs to me Solo: Chris Time to heed the warning bell I'll send you straight to hell For your envy and your pride It's time to say goodbye Time to pay for what you've done For what you have become Every act comes with a price And you must sacrifice Solo: Dan Solo: Chris There is darkness, there is light, there is a message: "A rose by any other name would smell as sweet" Ask me for guidance, I will yield, I will cross the burning fields To have my vengeance over thee. Make no mistake, I'll spare the earth And your cries will go unheard Your damn soul belongs to me My vengeance is born by the wind!

For too many years, aeons it seems, I have walked in the shadows alone Shackled and chained, destined to roam in the cold Call me a cheat, call me a liar, nail my hands to the cross But I will return, strong and determined to regain all I have lost How deep do I go to bury the past? Stripped to the bone, and tied to the mast The ending of days has brought so much pain Will this madness remain? I asked you forgiveness and I was denied Cut down like wheat on the scythe Call of the brave, calling the slave that's within me Breaking the chains, swearing allegiance to none Call of the wild, calling the child that's within me I will never bow to the unspoken word Where wisdom and spite live as one I've arrived! How deep do I go to bury the past? Stripped to the bone, and tied to the mast The ending of days has brought so much pain Will this madness remain? Solo: Chris Call of the brave, calling the slave that's within me Breaking the chains, swearing allegiance to none Call of the wild, calling the child that's within me I will never bow to the unspoken word Where wisdom and spite live as one I've arrived! Lead: Chris I asked you forgiveness and I was denied Cut down like wheat on the scythe Call of the brave, calling the slave that's within me Breaking the chains, swearing allegiance to none Call of the wild, calling the child that's within me I will never bow to the unspoken word Where wisdom and spite live as one I've arrived!

Place a crown upon my head Sovereign, anointed Though I am the king of fools In this land, I doth rule Slaying dragons in my sleep Sowing seeds that I must reap Give with one hand, take away The sorrows of the day Fighting fear with fire Chances, forgotten Abused by selfish pride A sabre at my side Guard the gate of inner strength Going to the great lengths To hurt the ones I love the most A cold and wandering ghost I will return again...when I've reached the end Come and drag me by the hand Out of Neverland Where black flowers bloom Raise your glasses high Please accept that I Am leaving you soon I will be gone. Gone with the sun Solo: Dan Solo: Chris Place a crown upon my head Sovereign, anointed Though I am the king of fools In this land, I doth rule Lead: Chris Slaying dragons in my sleep Sowing seeds that I must reap Give with one hand, take away The sorrows of the day I will return again...when I've reached the end Come and drag me by the hand Out of Neverland Where black flowers bloom Raise your glasses high Please accept that I Am leaving you soon I will be gone. Gone with the sun

Mirror on the wall: what have I become? A broken man, a land with no sun Time has come for me to take my final bow Lord of mercy, strike me down! Death comes closer every waking minute But I'll remember What you did for me when I was here Scatter my ashes Forget my name I've journeyed to far beyond lands There's nothing to say Live out each day As if it's your last On the other side, where the spirits dwell All is silent, no heaven, no hell I remember you: your love was strong and dear I'd give everything to find you waiting here In my absence, I ask you one last thing Don't be saddened If I could I'd give you one more day Scatter my ashes Forget my name I've journeyed to far beyond lands There's nothing to say Live out each day As if it's your last Solo: Chris Solo: Dan Scatter my ashes Forget my name I've journeyed to far beyond lands There's nothing to say Live out each day As if it's your last

about

The debut release from UK heavy/power metal upstarts, Starborn. Prepare for four tracks of rumbling power metal inspired by the likes of Blind Guardian, Fates Warning, Iron Maiden, and Falconer; complete with its own true stylistic stamp.

"What will hit you first is the absolute wall of thunder Starborn unleash from the opening drum salvo of "Born by the Wind." This is NOT flowery Power Metal by any stretch". - The Metal Crypt

"Similar to the metal found on cassettes during the heyday of tape trading in the early eighties". - DangerDog Music
