about

This track is an entirely re-recorded version of the 1997 original

lyrics

They pass in silence, under light of moon
Ancient warriors sorrowful and grey
In never-fading shame
Yet no cries are heard,
silently they pass

We left their Dragons burning

Their one-eyed god is watching
As they pass through endless forests
We slew the warriors from the north,
Who to claim our shores their own

"Enshrouded in lace mist
shields and armour earth stained
The blood of their wounds,
still as crimson as the day it flowed
They are the norse men that failed
Lost to time forever.."

Their thirst for war as they came
Was unquenched at their failure

When their dragons burned on our shores
They were condemned to sleep
Beneath our starlit heavens...

[Inspired by the tale of Brian Boru (926-1014), king of Ireland, who died successfully defending his kingdom against the invading vikings at Clontarf 1014)]
[J. Fogarty 12/12/96]

Listening to this on shrooms was haunting, which made it into a serious trip! Which was a mistake I was not prepared for. I do have something to say about it though on why I think it such. I have personally experienced several tipi ceremonies. One would stay up through the night, consuming peyote, doing in some sense a molting process and does so by connecting you to the spirit world. This album does this, but different - I say it transcends that experience, and does it well... On shrooms. zaphexa

Blackbraid II

Blackbraid quickly followed up their 2022 debut in 2023 with more native folk infused furious black metal. This is by no means a sophomore slump as it is equally excellent, methodical, melodical, and approachable as the first record. 9/10 RJ

I’m still more into “Sørbyen” than this one, but both albums have their merits and quirks. Alice M.

Zău
by Negura Bunget

supported by 7 fans who also own “Dragons Burning”

NEGURA BUNGET have always been a unique and fascinating band. Epic Romanian folk black metal, shrouded in a dense atmosphere and full of dynamic, organic energy. Although I see "Om" as their unreached masterpiece and neither NEUGURA BUNGET nor Hupogrammos' Dordeduh created such incredible magic again, "Zău" is a worthy final chapet which won't disappoint any fan. Rest in peace! H.L.
