Serpent Chariot

by Golden Blood

Poesy Rider Ce qui est impressionnant avec Golden blood, c'est la facilité avec laquelle le groupe navigue entre différents styles de metal. Il y a un côté très vintage et très actuel à la fois. Heavy, black, thrash, speed, néoclassique... Chacun devrait y trouver son compte. Vraiment bon tout ça ! Favorite track: Serpent Chariot (feat. Victoria Pakalniece).

owhotcoffee I've been enjoying a lot of Erech's projects, but this one really stands out for its varied compositions, attention to detail, and excellent guest spots.

Metallurgical Fire

Metallurgical Fire Erech is a machine when it comes to masterful riff work on every project. Check out Ancient Mastery and Narzissus if you haven’t. Serpent Chariot is a mix of older metal styles that transcends most of the trad output in the heavy metal and thrash camps. Calling it blackened thrash would be reductionist but fans of that style will love it. Favorite track: For Blood & Glory (feat. Laura Guldemond).

FalconPilot Few thrash albums can claim to whisk the listener away into the music's realm. Ride shotgun on the Serpent Chariot & instead of just listening to a story, you're INSIDE the tale. This album absolutely rules, & as the "tail" uncoils through each track I feel my molecules reconfiguring into the shape of the character speaking (both musically & lyrically) in every song. It is that good. The professionalism & sincerity present here is astounding. "Before the golden throne I kneel and pray for more!"

elhater Terrific album! With its LP debut Golden Blood let us see the plethora of influences the project has. From heavy metal classic-sounded solos to thrashy speed accompanied with the violent frailty of black metal atmospheres. The collaborations are magnificent, what a way to inject beauty, adrenaline, and power into the songs! Working a little more on lyrics tempo and their melodicity will certainly increase the quality of their material. Favorite track: Our Final Endeavour (feat. Jo Lombardo).

Towards the fire, born of corruption and sin Rebel rider, not to bow down or give in The rotten wastelands my oyster, the streets are my home Roaming on forsaken roads I don't care if you're a friend or foe Inside my burning soul I feel alive One thing above us all, the will to survive I shall not falter I shall not fail At times the sinister night sings its songs Of old kings and honour and what’s right or wrong I outlived those empty merits and words Keeping the flame alive The boiling heat is the will to thrive, on and on I rise above the doomsday As skies are turning red I will bring the fire As Heavens mourn the dead Burst into savage stars No mercy for the rats The standoff’s coming closer Come on and place your bets The sun is burning, they long for me If I indulge in weakness, then I will see The ones who left for peace, the ones who failed In my dried-up kingdom I shall prevail I rise above the doomsday As skies are turning red I will bring the fire As Heavens mourn the dead Burst into savage stars No mercy for the rats The standoff’s coming closer Come on and place your bets Inside my burning soul I feel alive One thing above us all, the will to survive I shall not falter I shall not fail

Times of corruption, call for drastic measures Following the voice of flesh We built an empire upon the bones of vultures We draw our strength from blood Follow us, deep down Into the hidden dungeon You will see, what brings Us closer to salvation Follow us, as you get roped into our rites You will see, what lies Beneath the crimson curtain This day you will see beyond the truth of men This day everyone shall meet his splendid end Asmodean Rites will be our guide tonight Once we rise out of the darkest caves A dance of bodies, minds and spirits altogether United in exuberant pleasures The sweat is tingling my burning skin Intoxicated by your filthy desires On hedonic waves we ride towards the edge The chthonian force inside of us, the eternal pledge Given through oursexual union, our bodies as proof The climax of a thousand nights revives our youth Follow us, deep down Into the hidden dungeon You will see, what brings Us closer to salvation Follow us, as youget roped into our rites You will see, what lies Beneath the crimson curtain This day you will see beyond the truth of men This day everyone shall meet his splendid end Asmodean Rites will be our guide tonight Once we rise out of the darkest caves

As I’m crawling through trenches The earth trembles below Through our pathetic defenses To set our comrades aglow I pray for the daylight I pray for the sun to ascend But I’m afraid of the horrors That I’ll witness my friend Tonight we might make history But it’s no easy road to victory We’ll ride on angel’s wings We’ll feel alive again When we will feast like kings The olden hymns we sing Burn brighter than a thousand flames And strike with force Don’t look back and charge once more We stay the course Laura: I entered this living hell so long ago Matted with mud, all those dead bodies below Pale light from the east, it won’t change anything The sun keeps on mocking the piercing cold from within For Blood and King We shall bring Withering glory You gave your life for deception and lies The enemy’s not on the field, it reigns in the skies Now brothers and sisters unite in the name of the dead Fight one last time and chop off their heads For Blood and King We shall bring Withering Glory Erech: We burned the angel’s wings Your flags don’t mean a thing We’ll sing our fighting hymns We tear you limb from limb Burn brighter than a thousand flames And strike with force Don’t look back and charge once more We stay the course

I passed the netherworlds, I went through hell I fought the unjust battle, with no soul to sell A clash of titans and gilded gods I lay myself before your throne against the odds To my left, the heads of the traitors To my right, the tongues of frauds Bewildered faces look down on me I won’t join them in their defeat The way of fire and brimstone Iwalk this path alone Watch out for seductions and pitfalls There is no way home Before the throne In the dark I see a ray of might The sacred torches have been set alight Guide the way towards the arcane room Before the golden throne I kneel and pray for more

Savage Cult 04:16
I will see you in the afterlife I raise my glass to the savage cult The last communion shall be done We remember every single one All of us who failed to rise There will be a place for you As one, we stand, as one, we break A bond was forged strong as steel To no master we’ll everkneel We are the gods to call and we’ll be the last to fall We will forever reign with golden blood in our veins Riding into the night, into the fire we ride Until dawn devours our very hearts and souls When all seems lost now and shadows arise Do not give in to them, don’t trust their lies We shall retaliate, we shall hold Revive your spirits and join the savage cult We were waiting in the dark For too long you had your fun and now we strike the spark The Savage Cult Cause in the end, we all should know, pride comes before the fall Your fortress starts to crumble, we will tear down your walls Riding into the night, into the fire we ride Until dawn devours our very hearts and souls When all seems lost now and shadows arise Do not give in to them, don’t trust their lies We shall retaliate, we shall hold Revive your spirits and join the savage cult

K.B.T.H.R. 04:05
Did you really think to have the key? Now Time is running fast A glimpse of liberation That this torment will not last And I feed on your anxiety Life as we know is fading fast, It’s the final hour So why not feast and have a blast, til the world goes sour All my visions turn to one, I feel the shadows disappear Deterioration, Extinction, reincarnation Behold, the grace of waste The toothless king The count of piss Towards, the proper end Eternal night The fields of bliss Let the fire burn, thy kingdoms fall As tables turn in the golden hall We had our time The mortal shell, it drains our strength, as the flames are spreading Get rid of it and trust your sense, into the skies we’re heading And my vision turns to one and the question disappears Deterioration, Extinction, reincarnation Let’s go! And look at the brute that you call man Slaughtered and deceived by its own kin Punished for the sin to be alive Betrayed by our savior The biggest scam is finally revealed The roots of our existence are cut down We will burn and so will our pride Now join our chant Kneel Before The High-Roller, wipe out the filth Kneel Before The High Roller, I’m doing my part Kneel Before The High-Roller, praise the idols Kneel Before The High-Roller, of lust and waste Behold, the grace of waste The toothless king The count of piss Towards, the proper end Eternal night The fields of bliss

Jo: The longest night has just begun The time of judgement lies ahead Will this journey ever end? The ashen sun lights our way As memories are passing by And those forgotten souls who have been led astray Set upon The chosen one Will I live up to my word? Will the traitor pay the price? No one can lift the curse upon myself but me On and on, under the scorching sun Our glory days are gone, so there’s nothing left to lose All those nights We lit our torches and manned our walls But deep inside We knew that the threat was already here Ashen temples, molten steel Death comes knocking from beneath Leafless tress in livid woods We knew that the prophecies were true I feel the fire, out at sea There is a pyre, waiting for me But I have no worries Troubling me now The gentle wind carries Them further away from home So bring out the best of these blurry days Soon we head west, on uncharted ways The sun sets whenever, there’s no need to run Our final endeavor, it shall be done And I feel the spirits are calling my name, Unveil the secret to rid us from pain Our souls are one, we’re bound by fate Our souls are one The fate of our world Still on the razor’s edge No truce, no settlement as we are cutting lose The blood is rushing to my head I feel the fire in my veins The everlasting flame, forever 'til the end On and on, Under the scorching sun Our glory days are gone On and on, we may never ever see our native shores again Our glory days are gone, so there’s nothing left to lose And I feel the spirits are calling my name, Unveil the secret to rid us from pain Our souls are one, we’re bound by fate Our souls are one

Grim Rider 05:08
In all his glory, he rides the skies To bring us salvation, to help us rise King without kingdom, man without name Fire and wisdom, with sword and the flame Grim as the night, the fallen angel opposing the light, grinding the steel Inhuman rage, bornout of vigour Power and faith, in the darkest of days As fires are covering the horizon There is only one way to go The odds may not be in our favor But the days of retreat are long gone Quenching our thirst for revenge Dragging the necks to the block Battle for battle we conquer it all He’s the one, rebellions son It’s the night of the rider He Brings fortune and fame Rules the fate of empires Grim Rider, continues to slay If the stars may not answer your prayers There is someone else you can choose As days passing by and life has nothing in store Call upon him to see what you’re fighting for Grim as the night, the fallen angel opposing the light, grinding the steel Inhuman rage, born out of vigour Power and faith, in the darkest of days It’s the night of the rider He Brings fortune and fame Rules the fate of empires Grim Rider, continues to slay

I am death I am sorrow Serpent's breath No tomorrow Through the night I have fallen From your grace But not crawling Into the dark I go Forever condemned Within my heart I will keep all your sins At last I ascend freely To infinity While you lie in ruins an eternity
