Acid Witch Witchfynder Finder

Acid Witch Witchfinder Finder lyrics

She was left raped and bleeding, freezing in the snow
A soldier I, returned from war, to find my bride like so
Her family dead, her father hanged at the gallows in the square
He was accused of witchcraft, a devil priest
By blood, revenge, is the oath that I now swear

Witchfynder finder
Witchhunter slayer
I shall be a grim reminder
of the lives he undid here

Destitute and surely deranged
I now drift from town to town
Maddened with my lust for revenge
In the bottle my sorrows drowned
I search the name of Hopkins
When our paths cross cross, I’ll take away his life
I’ll bash his f**king skull in and scalp him with my knife

Vengeance! Vengeance! On the Inquisitor, slay!
Vengeance! Vengeance! The hunter becomes the prey!

Witchfynder Finder 2010 from the band Acid Witch album Stoner

This is a really good song, it has melodic guitar riffs, lots of drum fills, double bass and really good growling metal vocals!

A “Falchion” is a one-handed, single-edged sword of European origin, whose design is reminiscent of the Persian scimitar and the Chinese dao.

In regards to this band: “Falchion was a Finnish heavy metal band formed in 2002. Their debut album, Legacy of Heathens, was released in 2005. The vocalist and lead guitarist Juho Kauppinen and drummer Matti Johansson perform with the Finnish folk metal group Korpiklaani, as the accordion player and drummer, respectively. The band split up in 2009.”

Lyrics to Falchion Shadows In The Wasteland:

In the starlight, hallucinating
Knee-deep in a lake of fire
Radiated, mutated
Fade away to the darkness

Shattered dreams, twisted nightmares
All I hear is everlasting silence
A flash of bright light in the night
My mind got clearer, focusing thoughts

In the coming days I can see the new dawn of man
No more dead and gone, no more lost in the desert sand
In the distant skies, roaring storm cracks open the sky
We’re rising from the shadows in the wasteland

I see patterns in darkened forms
All the colors are out of space
Visions unlike I’ve never seen or known
All fade away as I feel the shiver

“Shadows in the Wasteland” is from the album Chronicles of the Dead by Falchion.

This album will blow you away if you have not heard this before, if you have, you know what it is! Uplifting power metal from another great Finnish metal band, Ensiferum.

Every once in awhile when listening to modern metal I sometimes get bored and crave metal from the old days and releases like this showcase how good death metal is timeless and can mend these open wounds from battle.

Runemagick plays a very well balanced death/doom brand of metal that features melodic guitar and battle inducing drums and bass!

Runemagick The Supreme Force Of Eternity

Runemagick – The Supreme Force of Eternity

Most of these new “death” bands especially the deathcore stuff tend to fail miserably because they have no foundation in old school death! Stick to the hardcore and leave death to the elders ok little emo kids? The songs on this album have such awesome power and majesty for a late 90s death release… death metal fans will love it and hopefully turn some new fans onto this great band.

Your Worst Nightmare is the debut album from the death rock and metal band Horrific.

Do you like cheesy 80′s horror movies? If so, this is for you, if you are looking for brutal kill the baby type death metal gore this ain’t it. But this is good stuff.

“Death Metal rock ‘n’ roll with an emphasis on solos, catchy riffs, and choruses. If you don’t need all your Death Metal to be ultra-violent and brutal then check this out.”

Acid Witch is an American Doom/Death Metal band created in 2007.

The album is all about witchcraft and the devil and although sometimes referred to as “doom” in my opinion the band has a more stoner sludge feel than doom but the gutteral death vocals definitely keep it amongst the dark side of metal and we want to keep it that way.

Three of the songs on this EP are also on Black Sails At Midnight, all except the German song.

In an effort to complete the Alestorm discography before they release their 2011 album, Back Through Time in June 2011, I am going to post all of the Alestorm albums I have so when the new pirate metal album sets sail it will be finished!

People often use the term “epic” to describe music, but this EP really is. These four songs feel so big and epic as you listen to them!

Alestorm – Leviathan (2008)

1. Leviathan 6:04

Captain Morgan and his wild crew are once again up to no good on the high seas. Hidden within Alestorm’s captured loot lies a very prized gem: “Leviathan”, offers 4 tracks of unique Scottish Pirate Metal that will undoubtedly convince landsmen of the joys of pillaging with a good dose of keyboard melodies, sing-along growls and a mug full of rum. A jolly good time and happy plundering are guaranteed, so let the raid begin! A must-have for pirates and any others willing to sail the Seven Seas!

Wikipedia had this to say “Black Sails at Midnight is the second studio album by the Scottish power/Pirate Metal band Alestorm.

As with their first album, all the drums tracks were recorded by session drummer Migo Wagner but touring drummer Ian Wilson added additional percussion.

The album features string and brass arrangements and folk instruments as opposed to the more heavy metal instrumentation of Captain Morgan’s Revenge.”

Allow me to introduce you to your new favorite band, Alestorm.

Captain Morgan’s Revenge is the debut album by the Scottish power/folk metal band Alestorm, released in 2008 by Napalm Records.

Alestorm - Captain Morgan's Revenge

“Pirates! The “Alestorm” is on the high seas and its crew, four madmen, are ready to enslave you with their own brand of Scottish Pirate Metal! With their canons fully loaded and their rum induced songs about booty raids, treasures, and women, Alestorm delivers jolly drunken Battle Metal full of energy, power, and good humour. Join the crew and let the raid begin!”

Ensiferum – what name would suit a band playing battle metal better, than a name that in Latin means “the Swordbearer”?

The band’s career fully took flight in 2000 after Spinefarm Records released their self titled debut album “Ensiferum”, and their busy touring made them a household favourite all over Finland. Their second album “Iron” took Ensiferum one step further, all the way to Copenhagen’s Sweet Silence Studios.

There in Denmark, during the Fall of 2003, their second album was recorded within the capable hands of producer Flemming Rasmussen, who in the past had recorded such masterpieces as Metallica’s “Master of Puppets” and “Ride the Lightning”.

Ensiferum - Iron (2004)

Ensiferum – Iron (2004)

1. Ferrum Aeternum 3:28
2. Iron 3:53
3. Sword Chant 4:44

7. Slayer Of Light 3:10
8. Into Battle 5:52
9. Lai Lai Hei 7:15
10. Tears 3:20
11. Battery 10:43

“Iron” was a great success and grew the band’s popularity to whole new heights. The album also got the band some extensive touring abroad, but these metallic recordings and gigs finally took such a toll on the band that the year 2004 saw three band members depart: drummer Oliver Fokin, bassist Jukka-Pekka Miettinen and vocalist Jari Mäenpää (later known for his work on Wintersun). This was not the end of the world for the kind of warriors that Ensiferum and its mastermind Markus are, they just took along new, excellent members to replace these sudden gaps in their lineup. Aboard stepped bassist / vocalist Sami Hinkka, drummer Janne Parviainen (also known for his work on Waltari and Barathrum), and vocalist / guitarist Petri Lindroos.
