Drums, drums in the deep...They are coming!

For the eighth time, SUMMONING opens the gates to Middle Earth, choosing to sink deeper into its shadows: The track "Mirdautas Vras" is sung entirely in the black tongue of Mordor—the language of the Orcs!

Accompanied by darkness, the Austrian duo embarks on a musical journey based on the writings of J.R.R. Tolkien. Oath Bound takes on The Silmarillion, The Unfinished Tales, as well as various myths and legends from The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit remaining true to SUMMONING's atypical modus operandi. This time, however, the guitar has found its way back to the forefront of this offering, bringing about the band's Fourth Age.

Lyrics of "Land of the Dead":

Where forest stream went through the wood

and silent all the stens there stood

of tall trees, moveless, hanging dark

with mottled shadows on on their bark

as faint as deepest sleeper's breath

an echo came as cold as death

Long are the paths, of shadow made

where no foot's print is ever laid

Refrain

No moon is there, no voice, no sound

of beating heart; a sigh profound

once in each age as each age dies

alone is heard. Far, far it lies,

the Land of Waiting where the Dead sit,

in their thought's shadow, by no moon lit

Choir

Upon the plain, there rushed forth and high

Shadows at the dead of night and mirrored in the skies

Far far away beyong might of day

And there lay the land of dead of mortal cold decay

Wahnsinn, nach Let Mortal Heros Sing Your Fame und insg. 5 Jahren Pause das neue Album meiner Metalgötter aus der Pubertät.

Und genauso geil wie immer, hey die Mannen sind - seit ich sie kenne - um 10 Jahre älter und klingen genauso - ach noch geiler als vor 10 Jahren bei "Dol Guldur", "Minas Tirith" etc.!

Wer sich für Sounds aus Mittelerde, raue Gitarren, bombastische und verträumte Keyboards und markerschütternden "Gesang" erwärmen kann, für den ist das 8. Release der Düstergeister aus Wien ein PFLICHTKAUF!!!
