AETHER REALM
"Aether Realm" es una de esas sorpresas positivas musicalmente hablando que uno se lleva cuando rebusca entre la gran cantidad de grupos nuevos que surgen en el planeta intentando hacerse un hueco en el saturado mercado internacional. Lo primero que me sorprendió de esta buena banda cuando les escuché por vez primera al comienzo de su carrera, en 2011 con su EP "Odin will provide", fue su origen, pues me sorprendió que un sonido tan europeo de death folk realmente saliese de una banda estadounidense. Estos chicos de Carolina del Norte, suenan muy a norte de Europa, y eso es todo un piropo en mi forma de verlo. Con ciertas reminiscencias a bandas tipo Ensiferum o Brymir, aunque con un toque personal decidí seguir su andadura a partir de aquel EP. El grupo lo forman tres integrantes, Vincent Jones Bajista y cantante, Tyler Grisham Batería y Heinrich Arnold Guitarrista y cantante. La banda alterna las voces black con algunos momentos de voces limpias y hay siempre en sus canciones un ambiente muy melódico, con un cierto toque folk, muy Brymir, si conoceis al grupo, del que ya hemos hablado en este blog. Su concepto musical es como decía antes muy europeo, y su producción musical se limita de momento a un LP, "One chosen by the gods", de 2013, además del EP antes citado "Odin will provide", de 2011, así como dos singles "On line", "The magician" de 2013 y "The chariot" de 2015. Quiero dejar hoy en el blog una canción de su único LP hasta la fecha de esta reseña, en concreto el tema homónimo a la banda "Aether Realm", un LP este de 2013 que merece la pena escuchar con calma con temas como "Oak", "Odin will provide", o el propio "Aether Realm", del que dejo un enlace a youtube.
In the dawn at the sun's first rays
We initiate the end of days
Perilous quest for paradise
Far away from this land of snow and ice
No pity for those lying dead
Our vicious path leaves the ground stained red
The aether realm for which we travel the earth
In the hopes of a new birth
A lair in the sky for which we seek
From the depths of the earth to the highest peak
Forcing the masses to bow to our lord
we are born into battle, we die by the sword
Laying waste to the land and all who defend
Our swords cutting down their finest men
For the heathen wars have no true weight
As you stand before ethereal gates
No pity for those lying dead
Our vicious path leaves the ground stained red
The aether realm for which we travel the earth
In the hopes of a new birth
A lair in the sky for which we seek
From the depths of the earth to the highest peak
Forcing the masses to bow to our lord
we are born into battle, we die by the sword
Laying waste to the land and all who defend
Our swords cutting down their finest men
For the heathen wars have no true weight
As you stand before ethereal gates
To the aether realm we return at last
To reclaim our throne of the ages past
Ruling the land from a higher base
We have rightfully taken our true place
A lair in the sky for which we seek
From the depths of the earth to the highest peak
Forcing the masses to bow to our lord
we are born into battle, we die by the sword
Laying waste to the land and all who defend
Our swords cutting down their finest men
For the heathen wars have no true weight
As you stand before ethereal gates
We initiate the end of days
Perilous quest for paradise
Far away from this land of snow and ice
No pity for those lying dead
Our vicious path leaves the ground stained red
The aether realm for which we travel the earth
In the hopes of a new birth
A lair in the sky for which we seek
From the depths of the earth to the highest peak
Forcing the masses to bow to our lord
we are born into battle, we die by the sword
Laying waste to the land and all who defend
Our swords cutting down their finest men
For the heathen wars have no true weight
As you stand before ethereal gates
No pity for those lying dead
Our vicious path leaves the ground stained red
The aether realm for which we travel the earth
In the hopes of a new birth
A lair in the sky for which we seek
From the depths of the earth to the highest peak
Forcing the masses to bow to our lord
we are born into battle, we die by the sword
Laying waste to the land and all who defend
Our swords cutting down their finest men
For the heathen wars have no true weight
As you stand before ethereal gates
To the aether realm we return at last
To reclaim our throne of the ages past
Ruling the land from a higher base
We have rightfully taken our true place
A lair in the sky for which we seek
From the depths of the earth to the highest peak
Forcing the masses to bow to our lord
we are born into battle, we die by the sword
Laying waste to the land and all who defend
Our swords cutting down their finest men
For the heathen wars have no true weight
As you stand before ethereal gates
