bmurator Russian Epic / Atmospheric Black Metal. The entire album is stunning but the last track is even better! It is a traditional Russian folk song with extraordinary female vocals! Very highly recommended!!!

mg_metal Love this band so much. They do a great job with the symphonic parts, they sound suitably epic and mesh really well with the guitars and drums. They really conjure up great images of ancient empires and somber, mist-clad landscapes Favorite track: Over Desolate Lands.

H.L. Symphonic and atmospheric black metal can either become a fantastic journey into dark dreamlands or it can become an audible sleeping pill. Fortunately, SICKLE OF DUST belong to the first group. The epic songs are rich in symphonic elements, but come also with oomph. While the first three tracks are similar-sounding, the final "To the Shores of Sunrise" is surprisingly different and absolutely beautiful, as it features folkloristic female vocals instead of screams and a thrilling song structure. Favorite track: Over Desolate Lands.

Here I am Spreading my wings Over the lands Over the seas Greeting the dawn Dancing alone Over the planes Over the hills But these lands are hardly breathing Not a single creature living Not a single word forgiving From a single helpless god Far beyond imagination Rusty symbols of stagnation Cruel signs of devastation Of this sick and dying world Here I am Embracing the cold Hiding away In whispering mist Rains and storms Following me Faster than light Faster than life Ugly clouds in poisoned air Vast disturbance of nowhere Blurry shadows of despair Deadly plague in empty skies And behind them dark and hollow There is noone left to follow Endless suffering and sorrow Dissolution and demise Here I am Ashes and dust In my empty eyes In my empty heart Rains and storms Singing my songs Over the lands Over the seas In the frozen valleys dreaming Over withered forests grieving On the other end receiving Only hunger and distress On the path of thousand years In the arms of slimy fears Everything just disappears To embrace eternal rest

The Veteran 08:24
Dark waves running wild Silent depths conceal the light These nights are all mine Craving for battles lost in time Forever mine Black shades embrace the wind Long winters, forests skinned Floating dreams of triumph and loss One step last river to cross Last one to cross What's out there behind the walls? Cold glare of spears and swords Nameless warriors brave and free In silence waiting for me Waiting for me There I'll be young again There I'II feel no pain There where nobody dies There... on the shores of sunrise...

I've seen it all Waiting for my fall Burning cities Kings dethroned Lands abandoned Cold and dead Painted red Lost in clouds of lies I, who rule the skies I, who roll the dice Ruthless and precise I, who rule the skies I, who roll the dice Trials of redemption The taste of steel Too many hopes to bury Too many wounds to heal Empires lay in ruins This war's a bloody mess Another world forgotten To conquer and suppress Lost in clouds of lies I, who rule the skies I, who roll the dice Ruthless and precise I, who rule the skies I, who roll the dice I wash my hands in freezing falls And build my castles on the wind And spill my wine of emptiness And raid the lands and storm the walls And in this devastating war I'll stay forever grim and cold 'Till thunder rolls are there no more In empty fields and ruins old I wander realms unknown I breathe of hopelessness Wrapped in dismal sorrow I drink from poisoned wells Nothing's written there On fragile veil of stars No forbidden knowledge To win my paradise No one's left behind me In this eternal fight Another misty pathway Another endless night
