UNDER THE BANNERS OF WAR
Drakkar es una banda italiana de power metal que lleva una larga trayectoria ya a sus espaldas y que, a pesar de no haber copado nunca los puestos más altos de popularidad ni a nivel internacional como tampoco de su Italia natal, si que han sido a mi entender siempre una interesante banda con muchas cosas que ofrecer. Nacidos en la época adecuada para el sonido que practicaban, se les podría meter en esa explosión de bandas italianas que surgieron a finales del siglo pasado, muchas de ellas alimentadas con el rotundo éxito que Rhapsody alcanzó, con temáticas muy fantástico-épicas y en general muchas de ellas con un buen hacer que les proporcionó largas carreras en muchos casos, algunas de ellas que continúan en nuestros días. Otras bandas, sin embargo, no gozaron del favor del gran público, lo que como en tantas otras ocasiones no era sinónimo de falta de calidad musical. entre ellas podríamos encontrar a Drakkar. Se forman en 1995 y comienzan a editar material en 1998 con su "Quest for glory", un disco que uno de estos días traeré al blog, un buen debut. En 2000 tiene continuidad en la obra "Gemini" que tambi´´en recomiendo escuchar.. 2002 ve como graban su tercer intento de captar la atención internacional, "Razorblade god". Tras ese disco un EP en 2007 "classified" es el único escalón hasta su cuarto disco "When lightning strikes", de 2012 ya, con un cierto cambio de idea, eso sí, siempre centrado en el power. En 2015 completan su discografía con "Run with the wolf", disco del que hoy quiero dejar una canción en el blog, en concreto "Under the banners of war" de la que dejo un enlace a youtube.
The last of the Kai
Has travelled many miles
To face the dark lords everywhere
Through the fire and the ice
Scars on the flesh
Scars on the soul
Despite the pain and sufferings
The hero pushes on
How can we do any less?
Forget fear
Raise your heads!
Under the banners of war
We are marching on, marching on
Against the darkness we must be strong
Under the banners of war
We are marching on, marching on
To bide him time to come back
And save our world!
A flight from the dark
Has taken all his friends
The burden of Kai heritage
Entirely in his hands
Traps to the right
Traitors to the left
From Vassagonia to the chasm
He could barely rest
And now the wolf
Is on the hunt once again
We'll endure
Until he's back
The power of the gods
Within a frail form of man
A purity of heart
He's out for justice, not revenge
Nobody knows
His pain inside
We cannot see
We're just two blind
A bringer of hope
Into a violent age
The bearer of the summer sword
Will light our people's way
Bane of the Kraan
Destroyer of ghosts
He won't surrender to the might
Of Drakkar warriors
Has travelled many miles
To face the dark lords everywhere
Through the fire and the ice
Scars on the flesh
Scars on the soul
Despite the pain and sufferings
The hero pushes on
How can we do any less?
Forget fear
Raise your heads!
Under the banners of war
We are marching on, marching on
Against the darkness we must be strong
Under the banners of war
We are marching on, marching on
To bide him time to come back
And save our world!
A flight from the dark
Has taken all his friends
The burden of Kai heritage
Entirely in his hands
Traps to the right
Traitors to the left
From Vassagonia to the chasm
He could barely rest
And now the wolf
Is on the hunt once again
We'll endure
Until he's back
The power of the gods
Within a frail form of man
A purity of heart
He's out for justice, not revenge
Nobody knows
His pain inside
We cannot see
We're just two blind
A bringer of hope
Into a violent age
The bearer of the summer sword
Will light our people's way
Bane of the Kraan
Destroyer of ghosts
He won't surrender to the might
Of Drakkar warriors
