Caladan Brood: Echoes of Battle: Does anyone know of a band with "better lyrics" as this band?
For long, I have been searching for a band like Caladan Brood, not just in sound and style, but also "Lyrically Higher English":
Unlike 99.99999% of bands out there, no matter which style, they all use "simple English", as if made for, excuse me this expression, "the uneducated".
Caladan Brood then, uses a very different, more "educated" language, using words which tell entire stories in and by themself ... .
Examples:
Enfilades, Cinereous, Deluge (And this is from mere one song. Red.)
But not just the words, even whole phrases, which are phenomenal.
Example:
"There is a deep pathos here, a monumental sorrow!
Blood has stained this ground, the very land itself a barrow."
"In the wake, all is dust.
Vast desolation.
Silent grave of æons."
"Empty halls sing a hollow fall.
Dust-strewn cobblestones lead them home.
Ships now dreaming in their quiet ports.
Raise your glass to the ones returning.
Icy barrows and forgotten swords,
snow-capped mountains hold forgotten words.
Deeds heroic and deeds unknown ...
... carved upon the empty throne!"
Each line in their music has such power, such deepness, such a rich emotion.
Their total style:
The music style, the sound style, the wording, bring such vivid images up in my mind.
I can see what they bring, as if watching a movie.
Does anyone know of a similar band, especially in the lyrical part?
Thank you.
Knup.
