Canciones para una vida - Heathen Kings - A Song For Denethor

 

A  SONG  FOR  DENETHOR

Heathen kings es una banda británica de reciente formación (2020) que en el pasado 2023 editaron su primer y a fecha de esta reseña único LP de estudio, "Fealty to none". Estamos hablando de un heavy metal con alguna cierta pretensión power, con una actitud épica. Cuentan en su formación con tres guitarrista a lo que sumar bajo batería y voz, así pues el concepto old school parece claro. Para nada estamos ante un sonido innovador, practican un sonido clásico podríamos decir. Dejo una de las canciones de su debut en el blog, "A song for Denethor" de la que dejo un enlace a youtube.

Fly now!
In the morning comes the failing light of day Osgiliath a ruin lays
Ride now!
Gondor’s captain fallen and his armour rent The blood of Numenor is all but spent

Faramir lies stricken and could die within the day
As the strength of men it fails, his father turns away

No long slow sleep of death embalmed for Denethor The glory of his line burns cold
Turning from the westering sun He knows his doom will come
We will burn like the heathen kings
Of old

Fly now!
On the morning of the fight his will has failed But he a wise man once was hailed
Ride now!
What twisted visions has the seeing stone revealed Sauron’s weakness it conceals, in flames

He fears he is betrayed But the beacons they are lit
Gondor calls for aid


No long slow sleep of death embalmed for Denethor The glory of his line burns cold
There is strength in Gondor’s son To see his captain’s will is done
We will burn like the heathen kings We will burn like the heathen kings We will burn like the heathen kings Of old
