Canciones para una vida - Smoulder - The Sword Woman

THE  SWORD  WOMAN

Vamos de nuevo con un poco del llamado epic metal de la escuela americana, que no deja de ser una suerte de heavy metal de corte clásico, desde la perspectiva compositiva de la escuela estadounidense, flirteando con el doom, esos ritmos cadenciosos y espesos, con ese trasfondo oscuro, siempre con espada y brujería como hilo argumental, salsa toda esta en la que la banda esradounidense "Smoulder" se desempeña a la perfección. Formados en 2013, tras su periodo en las catacumbas de las escenas locales, graban su primer LP en 2019, este "Times of obscene evil and wild daring" del que hoy quiero dejar en el blog su tema "The sword woman" del que dejo un enlace a youtube.

Red haired spawn of the devil
Eyes burn fierce; they smoulder
Thou shalt not become his slave
Slit his throat, in his blood I will bathe

Cold fury turn me brittle as steel
Ride through a ribbon, of starlight
Walled by black forest trees
From a life of solitude, I flee

I sell my sword, to the highest bidder
To ride with my brethern
With shining steel by my side
Crush the traitors and revel, in their cries!

Heart beats quick with strange longing
Live as I please and die as God wills
Eyes dance with reckless madness
Trade drudgery for wandering and violence

The pounding war drums call me endlessly
To roads where armored captains ride!
With banners flowing, crimson dyed
To never be swine's bride
Forever, you will be
You will be denied!

Solo: Vincent

"My sisters bend above their looms
And gnaw their moldy crumbs
But I ride forth in silk and steel
To follow the phantom drums"
