Jordan Vauvert Mon jugement a sûrement été altéré par le fait que je n'ai pas découvert Midnight Odyssey avec The Forest Mourners mais mon avis au sujet de cette première démo sera plus nuancé. Ce que nous offre Dis Pater est déjà immense (quarante minutes !) : son black metal atmosphérique est éthéré, épique, poétique (les paroles sont écrites avec un grand sens de la finesse). Mais la production trop crue ne rend pas honneur à la noblesse de sa musique, à cette nature en mouvement. Presque tout est là ! Favorite track: Journey Across the Sea.

Aziter The Black A visceral, raw Midnight Odyssey experience I can't get enough of. I wish there were more tracks of his like these. There is a haunting doom yet a beauty about this music I can't let go. Favorite track: Spirit of the Winter Mountain.

naughtynubies I love this album, especially as a part of the evolution of such an amazing artist. It also came with the booklet signed by Dis Pater in gold ink, and beautiful etchings on the cd ;D Favorite track: Journey Across the Sea.

From afar these strangers came With fire in their eyes Their swords were jewelled, their shields adorned Their tongues all spoke of lies They burnt our shrines, they killed our gods They took all that we owned They raped our wives and killed the men Some hung and some were stoned But from this day I will return a man so strong and brave I’ll claim the land, my stolen home Their blood my father’s gave With an army a million strong, I’ll march for their glory And they shall fear my name before I sail across the sea I am the storms, that crash into the sea I am the serpent who lurks in waters deep Eternal vengeance, fuels my inner soul A reclamation of all that you stole I am the vermin, that bite at your feet I am the howling, unsettling your sleep And in your visions, you see the flames Death is returning, and wrath is his name

Upon the mountain, within the fog Lies a spirit who sings a song He lures men up his wicked peaks Then casts his wrath for the blood he seeks The pride of men, he takes away When he hungers, his song will lead them astray Oh come to me, I can help Come and take my hand I’m the mountain’s only son, born from deep within From a distance I see amongst the trees, his pale face I crave the blood and the flesh His final breath I can already taste Oh come to me, I can help Come take my hand I’m the mountain’s only son, born from deep within I see you’ve come far away and are alone again Oh come to me, lonesome man You’re not king of this mountain

Under the moonlight, in winter’s realm The trees are silent, the wolves as well Only the footsteps of men are heard As they carry the wooden hearse Mournful cries, flowing tears Into the forest, they disappear And from the trees, a funeral dirge The forest mourners are forever heard Under the evening fog the torches burn The flaming flickers, light the twists and turns And when they reach the sacred grove The air gets colder, death consumes the shadows
