Masterful lyrics about Anglo-Saxon heathenism and the importance of trees to our pagan ancestors.

This is one of my favourite songs by the mighty Sagoth.

[ffiaux]

I give you my hail,

I give you my blood,

I give you my life,

O' Bal Sagoth.

"Ancient king in this sylvan court of elm, ash, and yew..."

Love this song. :)

@TonoFonseca That and we're all secret cultists or barbarian warriors.

See when I first started to succumb to metal, when I heard terms like 'epic metal' and 'power metal' I did not imagine pop song melodies put to loud guitars and falsetto vocals. I imagined this.

@TonoFonseca hell yea...

[dunkelheit616]

synthesizers and keyboards are the best thing to happen to black metal. They unlock  the true glory to a majestic nefarious lunatic masterpiece. Many of my fav metal musicians are actually keyboard players.

Why doesn't everybody listen to Bal-Sagoth? I will tell you.

Not everybody is cut out to listen to music of this calibre of epicness. For some people, the epicness is too much to bear. Fans of Bal-Sagoth can absorb the epicness like heat shield tiles on a space shuttle. 

[Sarmgerra]

when most people think of black metal, they think only of poorly written lyrics, hatred,

and doom.

this song defies those ideas, as do all other songs by Bal-Sagoth

1:03 is quite possibly the most beautiful passage ever. It sets such an incredible tone, like I really don't know what to do with myself right now. Why am I just now listening to this.
