Nekromant - 'The Woods' (video)

The stench of fear and high ambition
Creeping closer to the core
Warriors bent into submission
A tribute to the dying whore

Lead me to my final haven
Build me an altar of death
Cross the wastelands into nowhere
The woods are the first and the last

A strike of terror in the distance
Howling through the thicket cold
This shrine I built with blood and hatred
Welcome spirits thousand-fold

Lead me to my final haven
Build me an altar of death
Cross the wastelands into nowhere
The woods are the first and the last

Lead me to my final haven
Kneel at the altar of death
Cross the wastelands into nowhere
The woods are the first and the last

Το 2012 σχηματίσθηκαν στην Σουηδία οι Serpent. Heavy / doom metal συγκρότημα, το οποίο μετά την κυκλοφορία ενός ep και δύο "ολοκληρωμένων" δίσκων αποφάσισε (προ πενταετίας) να αλλάξει το όνομά του. "Nekromant" ο τίτλος του πιο πρόσφατου δίσκου των Serpent, Nekromant και το νέο όνομα της μπάντας. Τρία full length albums, ένα ep και δύο singles ο δισκογραφικός τους απολογισμός. Το πλέον πρόσφατο πόνημα των Σουηδών metallers τιτλοφορείται "Temple of Haal" και "βγήκε" προ ημερών...

Δελτίο τύπου: «Standing on the shoulders of metal giants such as Black Sabbath and Pentagram, Swedish trio Nekromant are well versed in the art of crushing riffs and powerful melodies, boasting a sound that echoes the might of the past with an eye cast toward the future. With a much admired set of releases to their name, the three-piece have been turning heads wherever they go with their authentic and effortlessly brilliant old school metal assault.»

Nekromant about the single: «This is a classic, unapologetic heavy metal tune. My self and probably many others are not content with living this modern lifestyle, detached from what really matters. “The Woods” is therefore an aggressive expression of Scandinavian grumpiness.»
