MASTERS OF WAR
Siempre la escucha reposada de una obra es más justa y mejor que una precipitada. Tras haber pues cumplido con tal premisa he de decir que la segunda obra de los italianos "Fogalord" ha despertado en mí la misma idea que hace un año ya expuse en el blog, un disco que ha sido diseñado, compositivamente hablando, en una línea bastante similar al debut de la banda, seis años ya atrás, recogiendo muchas de las virtudes que hicieron que me fijara en el por venir de este grupo de power metal un tanto sinfónico y de corte épico, pero que a mi humilde juicio no llegan al nivel de su primera obra. Es evidente que no estamos hablando de ninguna catástrofe, y que igualmente, es posible que las expectativas que yo mismo me había creado quizá hubiesen sido demasiado grandes, y tomando la obra sin comparación alguna, solo como un disco singular, puede uno disfrutar sin duda de su escucha como un ameno ejemplo de power bien ejecutado. Siempre es cierto que da la sensación de que el principal protagonista del grupo, Daniele Bisi, cantante y teclista aquí, y encargado de letras y composición, tiene una manera un tanto heterodoxa de hacer las cosas, aunque enormemente efectiva por otra parte, y al final lo importante de verdad es disfrutar de los discos, y este se deja. Valga como ejemplo hoy esta canción, "Masters Of war" que da nombre a la obra y de la que dejo un enlace a youtube.
Introduction:
"... masters of war! ... as they met fighting from the opposite
sides of the battle of life... but they were not born to be one
against the other... so their weapons which knew it since the
dawn of time refused to strike and an ancestral force tied them
together again as nature itself... so they pronounced words from
the deepest and strongest roots of the earth high to the purest
and celestial skies... and this will be their oath, woven to fight as
one, forever... "

Lyrics:
They met in a battle one day with no sun
the fog spread its wings on the sky
The time it was right for the heroes to fight
each other with hammers and might
See the Masters raging for the steel as one
Hear their warcries on the battlefield
Let their deeds be sacred
The Masters of war clashed deciding who's right
bur destiny changed all their lives
The steel in their weapons refused to fight
and made them unbreakably tied
See the Masters raging for the steel as one
Hear their warcries on the battlefield
Let their deeds be sacred
Northern fog... everywhere!
From the stormy highest mountains
to the bloody fields of fire
they will swear their oath on high
"Into the battlefield I'll follow you again
till the last drop of my blood will wash the land..."
Until the world will destroy the world at end
Glory hails the Masters!
(Voices of the gods of light)
"Hear my call and bless the signs... "
She will rise as spring grapevine
(Voices of the ancestors)
"Ride my son and fear no one... "
He as winter ivy will rise
Light was a miracle within a world of night
Their blood meant life, their will meant might
And sealing swords into the sky
Vows they made with steel
Into new wars they'll ride...
and kill!
See the Masters raging for the steel as one
Hear their warcries on the battlefield
Let their deeds be sacred
Northern fog...everywhere!
From the stormy highest mountains
to the bloody fields of fire
they will swear their oath on high
"Into the battlefield I'll follow you again
till the last drop of our blood will wash the land... "
Until the world will destroy the world at end
Glory hails the Masters!
