Cool, are these all covers or original songs or both?

[fillert]

Defiance, only original songs) this song will be part of this EP

You Tube

but, I think that we'll record covers in the future, because GOOD cover it is very interisting for us and our listeners) and may be we'll record one more Otyg or Vintersorg cover

It's not just this thread. He did stop by recently but only to give some updates on what he's working on. Your best bet is to just bump the thread every so often and hope for the best.

@ fillert: Are you guys out with your EP? Really liked your cover, there was nothing in it which could not be liked. The fact that the lady was singing in Russian made the song really original. Its sometimes nice for people to connect to their own thing. BTW your other song link seems to be dead. Could you please reupload it?

Marklund responded... As in, you know, the other guy who was in Otyg.

BTW: Sounds pretty damn good! Your vocalist is tight as hell. Nice one.

there is a link in fillert's sig that takes you to their lastfm page where you can download both songs. It says in the comments there that the album won't be released any time soon, but the EP will be there in a couple of months.
it's so totally weird to hear it sung in russian!! i also generally don't like female vocals, but it's a good cover! Молодцы!

[fillert]

to all: Thank you!))

to NovembersDirge: I know, that Marklund played in Otyg and I happy, that he commented our cover

to Elvina: большое спасибо, рад что тебе понравилось. А еще, очень приятно, что на этом форуме кто-то говорит на русском языке)))

EP coming soon. 3-4 weeks.

Very catchy songs (again), and nice production! Any thoughts on how you will distribute?
And I have to ask again (I know, bugging you a bit about this ), is there any chance of you or someone in the band writing down an English translation of the lyrics, just a normal text document would be fine. I like the fact that you sing in Russian, you shouldn't change this, but it would also be nice to know what you sing about.

Равновесие

Музыка: Александр Климов, Дмитрий Боженок
Текст: Ольга Ковалевская

Ночь не рождает зари –
Только жар звезд расплавленных,
Орбиты покинув, гибнут планеты,
Хаос повсюду царит,
В небесах буйство пламени –
Там бьется мощь ада против воинства света.
Горечь дымов принесёт
Запах серы и ладана,
В зловещем сиянье мчится Галлея,
Время прервёт свой полёт
В сферах тайн неразгаданных
В час битвы великой Миродержца и Змея.

Падшие мстят всеблагим –
Нет числа легионам тьмы,
Лучатся презреньем демонов взгляды.
Каждый, кто звался святым,
Чьи крыла – белый вздох зимы,
Бессмертье утратит, дикой злобой распятый.
Там, где архангел почил –
Небосвод кровью заалел,
Там вызрел в пространстве плод разрушенья.
Там, где пал демон без сил –
Сжёг огонь груды мертвых тел,
Там стёрта навеки сущность света и тени.

Этим боем все живое без следа смело,
Что дышало – пеплом стало в миг ока.
Сгинув в бездне, не воскреснет ни добро, ни зло,
Нет Владыки – тьмы великой, нет Бога.
Недра стынут, спят пустыни, спят обломки скал,
В бездыханных океанах спит ветер.
Жуткий, черный мир без формы вечный мрак обнял
Ледяною тишиною, сном смерти.

---------------------------------

Аконит

Музыка: Александр Климов, Анастасия Гусева
Текст: Ольга Ковалевская

Головой рискуя,
В страхе я целую
Землю у ваших ног.
Дерзость мне простите,
Госпожа, взгляните –
Я сплела вам венок!

Знаю я – к лицу вам синий,
Не сочтите, герцогиня,
Скромный мой подарок простым –
Синие, как глубь морская,
Нежные, как небо в мае,
Совершенны эти цветы!

Сапфировым светом
Ярко пылает
Цветок мой заветный,
Мой аконит!

Дар мой вы надели…
Как вы побледнели!
Я пугать не хочу,
Но нельзя, миледи,
Доверяться ведьме –
Злом я вам отплачу!

Вы и в смертный миг прекрасны,
Боль затмила взор Ваш ясный,
Сжал кольцом змеиным венок,
Перестало биться сердце –
Зря был благородный герцог,
Ваш супруг, к народу жесток!

Сапфировым светом
Ярко пылает
Цветок мой заветный,
Мой аконит!

Пропитанный ядом,
Жизнь отнимает
Цветок мой заклятый,
Мой аконит!

Anyone for Russian?

here you go:

Equilibrium

Music: Alexander Klimov, Dmitry Bozhenok
Text: Olga Kovalevskaya

The night does not produce the dawn --
Only the heat of molten stars,
the planets perish leaving their orbits
Chaos reigns everywhere,
In the skies rages the flame --
There the might of hell battles the armies of light.
Bitter fumes will bring
The smell of sulfur and incense,
In the ominous radiance rushes Halley, [the comet?]
Time will interrupt its flight
In the areas of unsolved mysteries
In the hour of the great battle of The Almighty and The Snake.

The fallen avenge to the merciful --
countless are the legions of darkness
full of scorn are demons' glares.
Anyone who called themselves holy
Whose wings like white breath of winter,
will lose the immortality, crucified by wild anger.
Where an archangel fell --
the skies turned crimson with blood,
There the fruit of destruction has ripened.
Where a demon fell powerless --
Fire burned piles of dead bodies,
There the essence of light and shadow were erased forever.

This battle has wiped out all living things without a trace,
All what breathed has turned into ashes in an instant.
neither good nor evil will rise again, gone in the abyss,
The Lord the great darkness is gone, God is gone.
The bowels of the earth get cool, the deserts asleep, shards of cliffs asleep,
In lifeless oceans the wind is asleep.
An eerie, black world without form embraced the eternal darkness
with icy silence, sleep of death.

Aconite

Music: Alexander Klimov, Anastasia Guseva
Text: Olga Kovalevskaya

Risking with my head,
In fear I kiss
Earth at your feet.
forgive me my boldness,
mylady, look --
I made you a wreath!

I know - blue becomes you,
Do not think, your highness,
my modest gift too plain --
Blue as the depth of the sea,
Gentle as the sky in May
these flowers are perfect!

with sapphire light
Brightly burning
my cherished flower,
My aconite!

You wore my gift...
How pale you look!
I do not want to scare,
But you can not, my lady,
trust a witch --
with evil, I will repay you!

You are beautiful even in the moment of death,
Pain eclipsed your clear eyes,
Squeezed the wreath with the grip of a snake,
heart stopped beating --
the noble Duke
Your husband, shouldn't have been so cruel to the folk!

with sapphire light
Brightly burning
my cherished flower,
My aconite!

Soaked with poison
takes life
my enchanted flower,
My aconite!
_________

edit: that's the flower it's all about: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aconitum

Great, thanks Elvina!

Thanks, Elvina!!)))))

New track) - http://woodscream.com/music/woodscre...abbat_john.mp3

Аббат Джон
Музыка: Александр Климов, Константин Гнидкин
Текст: Ольга Ковалевская

– В ней дух кошки злой, в ней бес, в ней грех,
Казнить её – на костер!
Колдунью сжечь! Но не при всех –
Бунтует чернь до сих пор.
В глухом дворе монастыря
Звон кандалов слышишь ты.
Искусны те, что суд творят –
В ней ни следа красоты.

– Госпожа моя, удобно ль вам
Кормить огонь на кресте?
Дано прозреть еретикам –
К прискорбью, вы не из тех…
Еще тепла была зола,
Как вырос вмиг из углей
Терновый куст, и кровь текла
С его шипов и ветвей.

C небес раздался трубный глас:
– Не Господом ли ты мнил себя, Джон?
Ты погубил одну из нас,
Молись, ничтожный поп, – твой жребий предрешён!
– Проклятый куст – срубить его,
Не слушать бесовских чёрных слов.
– Но мы не слышим ничего,
Простите нас, аббат, но нет вокруг кустов.

Идешь ты, головой поник,
Ты ангела убил, сжёг на костре,
Скрывает ряса гнёт вериг,
Безжалостны глаза икон на алтаре.
В ту ночь от молний вспыхнул храм –
Гроза, переполох, все на ногах.
– Отец наш Джон остался там,
Но прочие спаслись, – сказал седой монах.
