Trollhalla 06:29
Trollhalla Some get wounded some get killed As the battle raging Blood of someone will get spilled In the war we're waging Slaughtered horde, broken swords Every carnage has reward There's no chance of your survival When the weak is getting mauled A chosen few will reach Trollhalla A sacred hall of all the slain To gain their strength back and their power So they can raise their swords again Axes swinging, guts and gore Throats are cut in bloody war Dodging boulders, flames and fire Help us gods and mighty Thor Sharp blades, trident spears In the rampage, show no fear Scattered limbs and rotting corpses Spread around the battlefield Oi oi - Pride and Glory Oi oi - And our will Oi oi - All united It's an honor to be killed Oi oi - We destroy Oi oi - That's our thrill Oi oi - For our kingdom It's an honor to be killed Burning flesh, septic air Death is spreading everywhere Never know, never will When it's time for you to kill Hit them hard with a mace Set the enemies ablaze Spill their guts and let them bleed Let them taste your jar of mead Command the archers - loose your arrows Straight on their heads like pouring rain Then let them face a sea of horror As scores of wounded die in pain On the battlefield Look the terror in the eyes Set it free, set it free After death, there is a prize No more pain and misery Great hall, marble walls It was built of Asgard stones Valkyries reign the assembly Next to Odin on the throne They'll greet you in Trollhalla Along with those you've killed When norsemen sieged your tower And the blood of yours got spilled Divided in the battle The norsemen and the trolls United in Trollhalla Pledged for peace and no more wars Far away, the ravens singing Calling us to fight the war In the dark, the widows weeping Grieving dead and curse them all The slain will open gates of Valgrind Eternal entrance to the stars Upon an endless trail of moonlight They'll reign among the fallen czars In the northern sky In the battle, hundreds die But a few would reach Valgrind Just the bravest out of many Will be named as the divine Drunk trolls in the brawl Rolling into Odin's hall Twisted claws, missing teeth Furs infested by the fleas They'll greet you in Trollhalla Along with those you've killed When Norsemen sieged your tower And the blood of yours got spilled Divided in the battle The Norsemen and the trolls United in Trollhalla Pledged for peace and no more wars

Бабка Давай ка выпьем мать со мной На сердце тяжко не легко Давай еще нам по одной У нас всех горе велико Ох велико ой наше горе Бабка бабка пиво пила Бабка дочку зарубила Хей хей зарубила дочку Хей хей топором топором Хей хей дочку зарубила Хей хей топором топором Не надо мать нас убивать Сиди ты с миром не кричи Ложись ка лучше на ночь спать Хлебни еще там на печи А по утру топор найдем Накроем стол мы у окна Напьемся водки и уснем Осталась ты совсем одна Совсем одна осталась мать Бабка бабка пиво пила Бабка дочку зарубила Хей хей зарубила дочку Хей хей топором топором Хей хей дочку зарубила Хей хей топором топором

Mother Winter Thunderstorm is getting closer Daylight is fading moon is rising Arctic wolves prepare for rainfall Trolls are rolling in the snowball Rain is pouring hard Washing aging leaves away From the mountains, rivers flow Carrying blood of murdered prey Soaking wet in frozen waters Running down the silent hill Starving creatures of the forest Sharing skins of what they've killed Sunwheel is spinning in the sky Ancient spirits dance in fire On the hills where ravens fly Wind is whistling chanting choir Frozen mist has covered trees Magic snow is falling down Northern land and ocean breeze Mother winter comes around Trolls of the old republic Dig in tunnels for their gold Wild beasts who fought their rivals Torching goblins in the cold Royal frogs have lost their crown Fell asleep in crystal cave Heavy rocks keep falling down Closing up their winter grave Charming light, magic spell Winter sun is here to dwell Frozen lakes, heavy snow Mother winter came home Silent hills, shining moon Harvest time is coming soon Empty desert, raging storm Mother winter came home

Черный Ворон Распахни по шире свои ты крылья Разожги в лесу нам большой огонь Мертвых на полях всех покрыло пылью В мраке веет духом гнилая вонь Схорони усопших, накорми уставших Приюти сирот, забери их домой Помолись за всех Храброй смертью павших Не тревож ты ворон, их святой покой Черный ворон смерть принес Льется кровь, под стук колес Волчья стая бьет чертей Псы визжа, под свист плетей Зимний вечер мертвые души Ворон черный в небе летит Вьюга воет, ветром все кружит Над лесами сумрак царит Черный ворон смерть принес Льется кровь под стук колес Волчья стая бьет чертей Псы визжат под свист плетей Там где ночь где снег лежит Где земля во льду дрожит Черный ворон цепи рвет Мертвым душам песнь поет Когда пойдем мы умирать На поле боя вечно спать Нам всем в огне гореть Земля нам будет песни петь И вспомни словом добрым нас И накорми в нежданный час Тех, кто с войны придет Пусть им отец вина нальет

I'm a Survivor As darkness falls on all corners of life It turns my world in the wrong direction My body is failing but I’m eager to fight The inner spirits come to my protection Sorrow, infernal pain A new day comes tomorrow It's starting again Cold, I found my faith Some put their lives on hold But I will not wait Someone is walking in the silence Trying to embrace the light Someone is losing abstract balance In the world of black and white Someone is crawling through the mirror Breaking fragments of the frame Someone is drawing endless circles Calculating math again Time has come the battle begins I will survive the wounds of my salvation I walked the highway of the thousand sins I crossed the gates of our divine creation I will survive the plague I will survive all the pain inside It is something no one can see But if it’s there, I'll fight The world has changed, it's a different glow The life I knew has a much deeper meaning I can’t give up, I have more steps to go I'm not afraid to start a new beginning Joy hides in my dreams Emotions being destroyed The sea of extremes Tears, I'll rise and fight Some facing horrible fears But I face the light I fought myself I've broken free The cycle is ending along with frustration I've been my own worst enemy The search is over for my destination

Hail to Thee Fallen Miners In the land of golden soil Grinding stones and drinking mead In the desert, rich with oil Crossed the ocean, left our land Driven by the gold rush fever Searching treasures in the sand In our goldmine, by the river Mining gold and mining fortune In the dark, we keep on searching Crawling low and digging with passion Moving gold in a timely fashion Stone by stone, getting rich and wealthy As we dig, we show no mercy Many die from mining sickness Keep on digging, show no weakness Hail to thee miners Hail to forty niners Hail to thee diggers Hail them all Raise your horns for miners Raise them high Raise them in the honor For those who've died Raise them for their children And for their wives Raise them for the heroes Who've lost their prize Illness strikes, we're falling down With our passion and our will Keep on digging underground Mining gold with the rusted steel Breathing poison, chewing dust On the quest for priceless treasure At the end, we're seeking lust In saloons, we find our pleasure Gold - collapsing tunnels, abandoned mines Gold - collapsing tunnels, we're set for life As the land of gold had drained, The horde of vultures moved north. Many have perished, crossing the swamps of the southern states But the trolls, cursed by the treasure hunt, remained digging for more gold

La Holerie Trollesque Un soir, ayant fini de creuser Bredouille, même pas une pépite d'or L'estomac vide, en voilà une dure journée Cependant nous restons braves et forts Au lointain, au milieu de la forêt Une partie du ciel à peine éclairée On entend des bruits, des chevaux affolés Des hommes, des femmes, totalement déchaînés En marchant vers la lumière, une bande de bandits A bien vu que nous ne sommes pas d'ici À bord de leur charrue ils nous ont pris Pour aller faire la fête dans ce fichu taudis Bouffons, buvons et allons danser Trinquons, chantons, allons nous saouler Le vice, l'ivresse, la holerie Sont les raisons pour lesquelles on vit Moi si je n'ai pas ma bouteille Je découpe tout le monde Fais une soupe à l'oreille Et vous torture avec ma fronde Et si on se jouait un poker Je mise toutes mes dents d'or Ça te change du presbytère Et si tu perds, c'est ta mort Arrivés au grand campement pillard Il coulait à flot ce bon vieux pinard Elles dansaient là, les femmes de joie Encore une histoire à se tuer le foie Des océans traversés, des rivières naviguées Des forêts brûlées, des montagnes piétinées Notre grande épopée enfin récompensée Encore une histoire à finir fauchés À la fin de la nuit, tout le monde est cuit Les douces poitrines ont réchauffé nos cœurs Les derniers survivants se chassent à coups de fusil Il est enfin l'heure de retrouver notre labeur Lui s'il n'a pas sa bouteille Il pisse sur tout le monde Fait une soupe aux orteils Et la ramène à la table ronde L'odeur de la mort l'endort Le goût du sang l'excite Les peureux qui prennent la fuite C'est le cahors qui rend plus fort Bouffons, buvons et allons danser Trinquons, chantons, allons nous saouler Le vice, l'ivresse, la holerie Sont les raisons pour lesquelles on vit

Moonlight Spell Rise spirits rise, and descend from the skies Rise in the moonlight, kings of the tribes Rise with the wind as the thunder is growling Rise from the storms when the voices are calling On the horizon, fire rings are burning Ambient spirits, dancing till the morning Legion of darkness falls down from heaven Rising in shadows, whispering to ravens Rising, Rising - Rising higher Rising, Rising - From the fire They rise in glory from ashes that have been buried From dust and sacred fire, they're rising higher No soul to spare, their grace fulfilled the air The magic seeds they've planted, reborn enchanted Blood runs cold as their wings unfold By the silent spell through the voices of old Let them come and let them rise From the clouds in the skies Voices, whispers, keep on chanting Till we're blessed with magic lightning Northern dragons rise at sundown Casting shadows on the ground Fields on fire, watch them burn As the moon begins to turn In the opposite direction So the dead can be reborn Rise from the burning realms of darkness In the name of the sacred light From the caves and frozen rivers From the depth of eternal night From the mist of northern forests From the swamps of eastern lands Spirits rise and spread your wisdom In the kingdoms, by our hands In the name of Trollkind Call upon the magic night Call upon the forest's creatures Hidden in the northern light As it shines, as it glows Let the ravens pick the stones Call the elders to the fire Let them read the ancient scrolls So close and so bright Falling down from the sky Let them glow in eerie silence Let them dwell till the end of time Wine is cold, demons rising In the fog through the open gate Let them join the chanting circle Let them come to celebrate Drink with us heathens, all night long Witches and dragons, the young and old Raising hell by the moonlight spell In the darkest realms Where the secrets unveiled Hail the gods who blessed our feast Hail to spirits, hail the beasts As the legend was foretold Some will rise and some will fall In the endless spinning cycle Some will reign above us all Snow is falling, horns are blowing On the night the spirits rise In the dark, the wolves are howling Shamans dancing till sunrise Rise, rise, drink more ale As it flows in rivers north Moonlight follows a sacred trail To the land that no one knows Torches burning, moon is turning Smoke and ashes, water splashes Axes swinging, bells are ringing Spirits rising, ghosts are singing Rising, Rising - Rising higher Rising, Rising - From the fire From Volga to Sarre From Moselle to Amur From Dordogne to Kama From Desna, and to Allier

about

“Tales of Gold Fever” is a blackened troll metal opus that compiles the best ingredients of the genre, keeping the listener on their toes throughout the entire album. Besides being heavily influenced by Eastern European motifs and upbeat dance-like melodies, this album is blended with a variety of medieval instruments accompanied by ethnic female vocals and memorable choruses which makes this record appealing on many different levels. To tell their story, Trollgrad takes you back to the year of 1849, as they are surrounded by the events of the gold rush migration. During their journey, they unveil 8 tracks of perfectly twisted anthems, delivering a solid 50 minute spin. Make no mistake about the bands geographic location. Hailing from Brooklyn, NY, Trollgrad is an alliance of Russian, French, and American forces and just like their European based counterparts, Trollgrad brings you the same quality of songwriting and musicianship, including an outstanding production, done by Finland’s best mix and mastering engineers, Samu Oittinen [Korpiklaani, Insomnium] and Mika Jussila [Nighwish, Eluveitie].
