lyrics

(English translation below)

VI. El árbol de la muerte

El árbol mira hacia lo alto
Como el caballero agotado,
Cuya sangre cubre la corteza
Con su escudo de roble al lado.

Sus raíces llaman de lo profundo,
Y su sangre densa se mezcla
Con la tierra que vida le ha dado.

Descansa ahora, que vuelves
Como el polvo que danzó
En la fiebre de la batalla.
Hermano junto a hermano
Al cielo miran cansados.

(Solo: Canal)

(Solo: Espinosa)

Algo se quedó en la sombra,
El reclamo violento de la sangre
Y el espectro de los nombres que recorren los siglos.
Algo se va con su aire transparente.

VI. El árbol de la muerte (The Tree of Death)

The tree looks to the sky,
like the tired knight
whose blood washes the bark
with his oaken shield at side.

Its roots call from the deep,
and his blood mixes
with the soil that has given it life.

Rest, now that you return
like the dancing dust
in the fever of the battle.
Brothers side by side
look to the heavens in exhaustion.

(Solo: Canal)

(Solo: Espinosa)

Something was left in the shadows:
the violent claims of the blood,
and the specter of names that travel through centuries.
Something is leaving through the transparent air.

...of Gory Sorcery and Death
by Blood Urn

supported by 82 fans who also own “El árbol de la muerte”

Outstanding death metal with blackened touches. For those who dig Beherit, Cryptopsy or Demoncy, check out this LP. Much of this LP owes its brilliance to those who went before; that is, this artist does not deny metal traditions. But there is no pre-fabricated art here, as there is a strong, unique vision in all of the songwriting. The riffs all make sense in their given context; there's nothing that seems superfluous. Very highly recommended listening. Look forward to more from Blood Urn! Wow! xhrl_

Everyone knows there's a lot of high-quality metal from Finland, and this album is no exception. Its old-school vibe paired with catchy grooves make it very listenable on any occasion, and the awesome songwriting with lots of interesting details keep it far away from ever becoming boring.

This is the most personally appealing piece of music I have run into in a long time - from the beautiful lyrics and art and the crushing, non pretentious gorgeous heavy music. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, crushing - are there are other words? Gorgeous, exquisite.... sock4never
