SONS OF ODIN
Ya he hecho referencia en el blog a este disco de los americanos Manowar, y hoy vulevo a él, ya que se trata de una obra que de mucho de sí, si te apasiona esto del "True metal" y cliché tras cliché de lo que se supones que es un "Heavy" de manual. Nada podemos decir de esta banda que ya no se haya dicho, e incluso que yo ya no haya escrito en estas páginas del blog, y es que con todo merecimiento Manowar se han convertido en los abanderados de su propia visión del heavy metal, imitados, influyentes y sobre todo "true metaleros", de esos que se autodenominan jueces de lo que es Heavy metal real o no, un tema en el que no voy a entrar ahora, pero que sin duda vende. Vuelvo a esta obra, "Gods of war", de 2007, su décima y penúltima obra de estudio hasta la fecha de esta reseña, (reediciones aniversario aparte), pues en ella la banda, haciendo un disco conceptual sobre la mitología nórdica, ha hecho, según ellos mismos han explicado, una especie de resumen musical de lo que ha sido toda su carrera, con todos los clichés, con un redundancia en su concepto a modo de homenaje a si mismos y atodos los que aman su sonido. realmente se puede decir que lo han conseguido, es un disco muy Manowar, y para mi gusto una gran obra, más aún comparándola con la "castaña" que se sacaron de la manga en forma de "The lord of steel", en 2012. Espero que las pretensiones experimentales se les hayan terminado para la siguiente obra que creo saldrá en este 2016. Volviendo al disco que nos ocupa, quizás hayan abusado de las partes habladas, y los interludios orquestales son más, aunque también la longitus de la obra lo acepta, pero la esencia "Manowaristica" está ahí, y los temas a destacar son varios, hoy quiero dejar en el blog el tema "Sons Of Odin", otro tema con todas las garantías del sonido Manowar, que tanto he echado de menos en su posterior obra, y que espero que retomen para la que venga, una canción, esta "Sons Of Odin", de la que dejo un enlace a youtube.
Here to the blaze
I wander
Through this black night
I pounder
The edge of our mighty swords
Did clash
Fallen by our axes
Helmets smash
Glory and fame
Blood is our name
Souls full of thunder
Hearts of steel
Killers of men
Of warriors friend
Sworn to avenge our fallen brothers
To the end
One day too
I may fall
I will enter Odin's Hall
I will die sword in hand
My name and my deeds will
Scorch the land
Glory and fame
Blood is our name
Soul full of thunder
Hearts of steel
Killers of men
Of warriors friend
Sworn to avenge our fallen brothers
Sons of the gods today we shall die
Open Valhalla's door
Let the battle begin with swords in the wind
Hail Gods of War
[Solo]
Sons of Odin we for
By the hammer of Thor
Ride down from the sky
Another is born
Another shall fall
This day bent will die
(oh) Glory and fame
(oh) Blood is our name
(oh) Souls full of thunder
(oh) Hearts of steel
(oh) Killers of men
(oh) Of warriors friend
(oh) Sworn to avenge our fallen brothers
(oh) Sons of the gods today we shall die
(oh) Open Valhalla's door
(oh) Let the battle begin with swords in the wind
(oh) Hail Gods of War
(oh) Sons of the gods today we shall die
(oh) Open Valhalla's door
(oh) Let the battle begin with swords in the wind
(oh) Hail Gods of War
(oh) Let the battle begin with swords in the wind
(oh) Hail
(oh) Gods
(oh) of War!!!
[Onward into the heart of battle
Fought the sons of Odin
Outnumbered many times
Still - they fought on
Blood poured forth from their wounds
Deep into the earth
Vultures waited for the broken shells
That once were bodies
Thus Odin alone would choose the day
They would enter Valhalla
And in their hour of need
He sent forth onto them The Berserker Rage
Now gods embed
They grows up from the ground
Screaming like wild animals
Such is the gift of absolute power
No blade or weapon would hurt them
They killed them and horses alike
And all who stood before them died that day
Hail Gods Of War]
