GOD OF WAR
Nueva obra de los suecos The Storyteller que está en estos días saliendo. Su título es "Sacred Fire", su sexta obra de estudio, como digo de este 2015. Ya hemos hablado anteriormente de esta banda en nuestro blog y como ya dijimos, The Storyteller
es una banda de Suecia formada en 1995 que hace un power metal de corte
clásico que podría compararse instrumentalmente al sonido de bandas
como sus compatriotas Hammerfall. Se trata de un grupo de gran talento
pero de no demasiada repercusión. Comienzan a sacar discos de estudio en
el año 2000, habiendo realizado desde entonces 6 larga duración y un EP. Hay que
decir que han tenido bastante estabilidad en la formación en lo
referente a sus miembros pero aún así tuvieron una época de pausa entre
2006 y 2011 para a partir de ese año sacar material nuevo, en concreto dos discos, "Dark Legacy" en 2013, del que ya hemos hablado, y este "Sacred Fire", que hoy nos ocupa. Tras pocas oidas aún si que podemos asegurar que van en su onda de siempre, con ese sonido de la escuela sueca de Power Melodic heavy metal, aunque en esta ocasión parecen no haber metido ese toque ligeramente medieval folk que solian hacer sobre todo en sus obras iniciales.Para quienes aun no lo hayan escuchado su sonido podría asemejarse como decia al inicio de esta reseña a sus compatriotas Hammerfall, aunque con su propio estilo. De esta nueva obra quiero dejar su canción "god of war", la que más me ha entrado de primeras, y de la que dejo un enlace a Youtube. Recomiendo darse un paseo por la discografía de este buen grupo sueco, pues a pesar de no ser demasiado conocido la calidad que tienen es incuestionable.

Bloodshed is what he desires
And lead great armies out to die
To die
Born to be wise
But chose the way of pain
To conquer without mercy
with spear in his hand
Driven by desire to kill
with rage
and senseless violence
wherever a battle took place
he pushed them to fight
brutality and slaughter
no mercy to give
strong in his will
the throne is in sight
claim your destiny
the yearning to fight
angered the gods
and cused bad blood
in their hearts
god of war he lives for the kill
hear the warriors calling his name
tears the skin of maimed and slain
his way of getting his thrill
until the day when Athena appeared
to stop her brother's thirst forwar
the bitterness
between the two
created the battle of Troy
Many wars were led by their feud
and many more to come
and way up high
in the home of the gods
his eyes still search
for battles and blood
god of war he lives for the kill
hear the warriors calling his name
tears the skin of maimed and slain
his way of getting his thrill
god of war he lives for the kill
hear the warriors calling his name
tears the skin of maimed and slain
his way of getting his thrill
his way of getting his thrill
Ares the bringer of pain
God of war
Bloodshed is what he desires
And lead great armies out to die
To die
Born to be wise
But chose the way of pain
To conquer without mercy
with spear in his hand
Driven by desire to kill
with rage
and senseless violence
wherever a battle took place
he pushed them to fight
brutality and slaughter
no mercy to give
strong in his will
the throne is in sight
claim your destiny
the yearning to fight
angered the gods
and cused bad blood
in their hearts
god of war he lives for the kill
hear the warriors calling his name
tears the skin of maimed and slain
his way of getting his thrill
until the day when Athena appeared
to stop her brother's thirst forwar
the bitterness
between the two
created the battle of Troy
Many wars were led by their feud
and many more to come
and way up high
in the home of the gods
his eyes still search
for battles and blood
god of war he lives for the kill
hear the warriors calling his name
tears the skin of maimed and slain
his way of getting his thrill
god of war he lives for the kill
hear the warriors calling his name
tears the skin of maimed and slain
his way of getting his thrill
his way of getting his thrill
Ares the bringer of pain
God of war
