IN THE GRAVELIGHT
Vamos a una de las patrias por excelencia del death melódico, siempre en terreno escandinavo por supuesto, me refiero a la escena finlandesa y a la banda Warfarer, un grupo que sin ser realmente nuevo ya que se formó en 2013, es casi como si se le pudiese tratar como tal ya que no han editado un LP hasta este 2024, eso sí en 2017 publicaron su primer material de estudio en formato EP "Under the frozen star", y como digo este 2024 parece ser el pistoletazo definitivo de salida para la banda con este "A tale beyond the pale". Como digo death melódico, pero sin componente folk, más bien es técnico, con algún rasgo progresivo. Siempre es mejor juzgar por uno mismo así que dejo en el blog una de las canciones que conforman el album, en concreto "In the gravelight" de la que dejo un enlace a youtube de su lyric video oficial.

In the corner of a cabin,
upon a throne
Sits a man with his thoughts,
all alone
Left to ponder and brood for an eternity
As his heart laments the lost fraternity
Again and again, he tries to justify
The crime committed, the fratricide
An idle plea, he cries out in his foul plight
To undo the deed done under starlight
The last lights fade into the night
Away from the one who sought their kind
This is what becomes of thee
When you forsake me
Sleep inside through the polar night
Astray in the gravelight
This is what becomes of thee
When you forsake me
This is what becomes of thee
When you forsake me
Slowly, steadily, the flames are left to die
Nothing left to feed his own pitiful lie
As the night falls and veils the skies
One light remains the fire in his eyes!
And the darkness reigns
In his mind
In this night, only silence remains
Chained inside the feverish mind
The demons dance in the firelight
This is what becomes of thee
When you forsake me
Sleep inside through the polar night
Astray deep in the gravelight
This is what becomes of thee
When you forsake me
This is what becomes of thee
When you forsake me
Sleep inside through the polar night
Astray deep in the gravelight
This is what becomes of thee
When you forsake me
This is what becomes of thee
When you forsake me
Deep inside the ice entwines
Deep inside the ice entwines
Lost in the growing night
Astray in the gravelight
This is what becomes of thee
When you forsake me
