EVE OF CORRUPTION
Lorenguard es un grupo de power metal sinfónico, y a pesar de ser originarios de Estados Unidos, la base power que utilizan es más bien similar al sonido europeo de bandas como Rhapsody o Blind Guardian, salvando las distancias. Bastantes orquestaciones, tramos narrados y una clara orientación fantástica en lo que a letras se refieren nos hablan de una banda apropiada para todos los amantes de las bandas tipo Rhapsody, como antes decía. El grupo se forma en 2004 y a pesar de llevar un ya largo tiempo en activo tan solo han editado un EP en 2005, "Of tales to come" y un LP en 2011, "Eve of corruption: the days of Astasia part I", que como su título indica parecía ser preludio de segundas partes o una saga que de momento aún no ha llegado, aunque se supone que la banda sigue en activo en la actualidad. Hoy quiero dejar en el blog un tema de este único LP, en concreto el tema "Eve of corruption" que enseña bien el concepto musical que propone la banda y del que dejo un enlace a youtube.
The plane of fire
Six centuries past
The angel overlord began his selfish quest
To rule on Athland
He schemed and lied
They sailed the black seas and the balance died
Now our world is held in sway
The balance fades away
To bring the final Days of Astasia
Down far below
He is calling out for souls
And in dreams he will promise you the powers of old
War has begun on this eve of corruption
The days the prophets warned us of have come
The war of balance
Now rages on
Unite the clans of old to fight the burning one
'Twas there on Vhaltas
It came to pass
A sacrifice was made to bind him there at last
Now our world is held in sway
The balance fades away
To bring the final Days of Astasia
Down far below
He is calling out for souls
In dreams he will promise you the powers of old
War has begun on this eve of corruption
And the days the prophets warned us of have come
They have come

They have come
