VALKYRIES
Lo primero, o de lo primero que acudirá a nuestra cabeza al escuchar el sonido de esta banda estadounidense es que este disco tiene que ser de 1986 o algo así, pero no, es la esencia de su música lo que es de esa época ochentera, y en mi humilde opinión eso tiene mucho más de piropo que de otra cosa. Aska, y su concepto clásico de heavy metal se forman en 1990, y se nota que mamaron bien de este sonido clásico antes de empezar y en sus inicios, y han querido permanecer fieles a él con el paso de los años y de su carrera musical, una carrera musical que ha dado para 6 LP's y un EP. Su debut es "Aska" de 1994, y su última obra hasta la fecha de esta reseña es "Fire eater", de 2013, así pues, a pesar de una carrera no demasiado llena de producciones a juzgar por lo dilatada de esta, si que conviene destacar que en todas sus obras yo encuentro algo destacable, y recomiendo darle una escucha en general porque tendréis más de una sorpresa positiva, sobre todo si os gusta el espíritu clásico del heavy metal. Hoy quiero dejar un tema de su cuarto larga duración, "Avenger", de 2000, del que hoy quiero destacar su canción "Valkyries", buena carta de presentación para el grupo, y de la que dejo un enlace a youtube.
[MAGNUS:]
I taste the wrath of your might
[THORSEN:]
I humble before thee dear father above
[MAGNUS:]
So bring down your hammer this night
[THORSEN:]
Your thunder and lightning shall rain from the sky
Will I forgive you brother
Will you fight by my side
Blood reigns in Valhalla
To the battlefield we ride
Blood! Fire!
And the dead will ride the wings
Of the Valkyries
[MAGNUS:]
The dark clan of giants descend
[THORSEN:]
The thirst for revenge burns like fire in our veins
[MAGNUS:]
So fight by my side to the end
[THORSEN:]
With broadswords and axes let the carnage begin
[THORSEN:]
I swear by the hand of Odin
And the blood of my first born son
[MAGNUS:]
I'll cast away my indignities
And stand by the chosen ones
Honor and duty - a code to guide my way
[THORSEN:]
When the battle is over, the dead will raise again
On the wings of Valkyries
[THORSEN:]
How does it feel when you're cut down
And you can't get back up
When you're down and you need a hand
Someone to give you strength
There's just one thing that will do it
Don't let 'em take it away
It's the calling to battle
And you will ride the wings, yeah
Blood! Fire!
And the dead will ride the
Wings of honor
And the gods will lead our
Charge to glory
On that day for every man
Who rides
I taste the wrath of your might
[THORSEN:]
I humble before thee dear father above
[MAGNUS:]
So bring down your hammer this night
[THORSEN:]
Your thunder and lightning shall rain from the sky
Will I forgive you brother
Will you fight by my side
Blood reigns in Valhalla
To the battlefield we ride
Blood! Fire!
And the dead will ride the wings
Of the Valkyries
[MAGNUS:]
The dark clan of giants descend
[THORSEN:]
The thirst for revenge burns like fire in our veins
[MAGNUS:]
So fight by my side to the end
[THORSEN:]
With broadswords and axes let the carnage begin
[THORSEN:]
I swear by the hand of Odin
And the blood of my first born son
[MAGNUS:]
I'll cast away my indignities
And stand by the chosen ones
Honor and duty - a code to guide my way
[THORSEN:]
When the battle is over, the dead will raise again
On the wings of Valkyries
[THORSEN:]
How does it feel when you're cut down
And you can't get back up
When you're down and you need a hand
Someone to give you strength
