Antioch - Iron Serpent

IRON  SERPENT 

Los canadienses Antioch son otro de esos grupos que se han apuntado a la nueva ola del heavy metal a nivel internacional, ese heavy metal de clarísimo regusto clásico, de la vieja escuela, pero hecho en este siglo, de configuración compositiva que bien podría caber en 1984 pero que tecnicamente se aprovecha de las virtudes tecnológicas de los tiempos que corren a nivel de producción. Antioch es una de esas primeras bandas que se apuntaron a esta nueva (vieja) corriente. Formados en 2013, a fecha de esta reseña tienen publicados cinco LP's de estudio (más tres EP's). El primero de sus LP's data de 2015 "Antioch II First Stryke", y de él dejo hoy en el blog su canción "Iron serpent" de la que dejo un enlace a youtube.

Passing through the haze
An aura surrounds the beast
Vicious yer pristine
It's prowling for a feast
Eyes of Jade are stalking
Filled with lust and fire
With scales as smooth as silk
My leather bound desire

Just an image of the mind
A fantasy, nothing more
But today, I'm not deceived
The myth is alive and more
A sight to behold
Witnessed with both my eyes - entranced by
So perfect, so perfect
So perfect the Iron Serpent

That dragons mine
It's my destiny
I can't live without knowing
What could have been
It's armor, so fierce
I don't know if I can move on with the attack
So perfect, so perfect, so perfect the Iron Serpent

Eyes locked, engaged
Staring into the eyes of the snake
So cunning, It's East meets West
Bring on the serpent's breath

Passing through the haze
An aura surrounds the beast
Vicious yer pristine
It's prowling for a feast
Eyes of Jade are stalking
Filled with lust and fire
With scales as smooth as silk
My leather bound desire

My body aches with pain
Cuts sear my flesh and skin
I can barely remember what happened
We burned the night
The dawn crowns me the victor
As I peel back the dragon's corpse
So perfect, so perfect
So perfect the Iron Serpent
