Mubla Na Thguob Really happy to have found a talented new artist to enjoy. Now this is only part two of a quadrilogy and he's already created a definitive sound that has me extremely excited for parts three and four. This is the kind of discovery that makes Bandcamp so important, We can watch this artist grow and the story unfold before our eyes. Nice! Favorite track: The Seafaerers.

Ivan Jelcic Atmospheric and folky, relaxing and mellow, this is a beautiful album, both in electric and acoustic versions.
I also appreciate and support the artist's nature-friendly philosophy. Favorite track: The Seafaerers.

Kenstrosity This is a solid folk rock record, but what really seals the deal are the acoustic tracks. Worth the price of admission just for those alone. Favorite track: Ignite the Tempests [Acoustic].

Shayne Rosenke Absolutely amazing album. With each passing album its somehow better than the album befor not many artists can pull that off. Favorite track: The Immeasurable Fathoms.

The waves erupt from a frozen sea ‘neath the cold, northern moon. So great and terrible were their ragings Though those lonesome scapes heard not. A titan beast, grey of hue Rises wrathfully from the waves Those waters once cobalt and pure Now a’swirl with poison hues. The stars above shine ever on, Though darkness clouds the failing sun Where strength once persevered, The end of an age is near… He, the God of the deep, dark blue Hurls his might at the waves O’ the strangest of bygone days Lost beyond those roaring winds… The oceans parted before him And those noxious waters split asunder Waves pounded beneath the moon To the resonance of doom’s knell... The stars above shine ever on, Though darkness clouds the failing sun Where strength once persevered, The end of an age is near…

Dread 04:38
The stars shone brightly on the sea And the waves reflected back their beauty With a blooming sense of dread and fear, the signals grew stronger every league. Bourne on black and rotten currents He swam beyond those stranger waters... Bodies of his kin, drowned amidst a wreckage Extinguished in all the cruelest ways… Looming before him grew a sight A skeleton of shore-dweller design Horror clung upon its body And from it spewed the venom (of man…) Their fear grew the moment he came And they hurled their toxins in force But none of their kind could inflict him any pain And upon his rage was bourne the storm...
4.
And the oceans weight erupted Casting down their unwholesome designs… Storms came raging from distant seas And doom was brought down upon their shores. He withered one and all… Their land he flooded all the way As far as his waves would reach. In his despair, he fell upon them And he drowned all their memories… And they were claimed once more…
5.
Years wheeled on and his life force ebbed But further he voyaged on... And as his deep dark waters only bittered, His fury rained down upon his foes… Their influence only darkened Their poisons swarming out to sea No matter how many he destroyed The currents clouded with disease. Long he cast upon them ruin And there now burned a hate They set out with their crafts of black iron To lay claim their mastery of the seas. To the waves they dumped their venoms So that he might be stricken down For in the end only one may rule And his strength would fade...
6.
In the North The waves swirled agleam His blood stained the tide When this age became a dream They knew not what they hunted For their hearts burned with rage To the dark they cast their weapons To the tides, he fell away… No longer will they know The mysteries of old… Darkness has come for him And soon for them, they know… Strange tides now flow Beyond the realms he swam The waters churn with poison What doom have they wrought…? Now longer will it stay The stormy seas from shore The ending has only begun And they will never know… For now, the waves are stilled But soon the storms will come. The seas will swallow the whole world, And so will the doom come. Omnia mors aequat...
