INSIDE THE CIRCLE
En innumerables ocasiones he querido remarcar en el blog como muchas, muchísimas veces, calidad y reconocimiento y/o ventas no tienen porque ir de la mano, siendo en muchas ocasiones incluso inversamente proporcionales ambos conceptos, por lo cual una sana curiosidad por seguir descubriendo nuevas bandas o no tan nuevas es siempre, en mi humilde opinión, una gran idea para descubrir bandas de calidad. Hoy quiero dejar en el blog otro de esos grupos que no han alcanzado los primeros puestos en las listas de ventas, por falta más de repercusión que de evidente calidad a poco que uno se pone con ellas. El de hoy es el grupo alemán "Solar Fragment", una banda de power metal con una ya larga trayectoria a sus espaldas que se ha traducido sin embargo en una corta producción musical, eso si, llena de impresionantes pinceladas de calidad. Solar Fragment se forma en 2004 y siguiendo en activo a día de hoy, teniendo solo dos LP's, a fecha de esta reseña, editados además de un EP de 2015 "From our hands" donde retoman tres temas de su segundo LP "In our hands" de 2011 desde una perspectiva acústica. Su primer larga duración "A spark of deity" se remonta a 2007. Hoy quiero dejar en el blog un tema de su segundo LP, "In Our Hands", concretamente uno en el que han contado con la colaboración de Hansi Kursch de Blind Guardian a la voz, motivo más que suficiente en si mismo para despertar la curiosidad de cualquier metalhead que se precie, pero es que además la calidad compositiva en clave de power europeo que se marcan en el tema y toda la obra debería haberles ofrecido una mayor repercusión. En fin, otra banda más para descubrir, hoy a través de este "Inside the circle" de 2011. esperemos que pronto editen algo de material nuevo. Dejo un enlace a youtube de este "Inside the circle".
I have a special gift for you
a life of power, owned by few
For the good side you will strive
but in the end you’ll fight the light
Crawling through your veins
there is Jedi blood
it’s your skill to see the future
like one sees the past
Reckless and self-assured
there is so much you must learn
Won’t you come and take the course
apprentice of the Force?
Inside the circle, yet all alone
only grief as you leave your mother behind
Inside the circle, you’re on your own
bound to the prophecy
And as the slave becomes the padawan
a black cloud of nightmares
keeps torturing his heart
I swear I will not fail
rage to those who cross my way
and so he screamed out at the stars
Vengeance is mine
Inside the circle, yet all alone
only grief as a friend and father has died
Inside the circle, you’re on your own
bound to the prophecy
After all, I face the fact
that everyone I love is dead
save you, my queen, my love, my bride
but through the mist
I feel her pain of giving birth
and I cannot find a way
it’s out of sight
Where is the Force to save her life?
Why does the council show you no trust?
Cursed be their ignorance
and I can only pray you’ll find your way
Give in to your anger
it makes you wise
Only through me she will survive
Come now, Vader, walk with me
Inside the circle, yet all alone
now she’s gone
and he’s slowly drifting away
Inside the circle, you’re on your own
bound to the prophecy
Inside the circle, yet all alone
all is lost
and he’s slowly drifting away
Inside the circle, you’re on your own
bound to the prophecy
a life of power, owned by few
For the good side you will strive
but in the end you’ll fight the light
Crawling through your veins
there is Jedi blood
it’s your skill to see the future
like one sees the past
Reckless and self-assured
there is so much you must learn
Won’t you come and take the course
apprentice of the Force?
Inside the circle, yet all alone
only grief as you leave your mother behind
Inside the circle, you’re on your own
bound to the prophecy
And as the slave becomes the padawan
a black cloud of nightmares
keeps torturing his heart
I swear I will not fail
rage to those who cross my way
and so he screamed out at the stars
Vengeance is mine
Inside the circle, yet all alone
only grief as a friend and father has died
Inside the circle, you’re on your own
bound to the prophecy
After all, I face the fact
that everyone I love is dead
save you, my queen, my love, my bride
