Solstice - The Sleeping Tyrant

Solstice are an epic doom metal band from the UK, and one of my favourites. The only other version of this song on Youtube was a very bad quality music video, so I thought I'd upload this. Cheers!

Lyrics:

Out of reach in realms beyond
All light and truth the hidden son
From bloodied womb father creation
Narcissus high among the suns

Under inanimate lakes of carrion pallor
Where the weight of purity bore him down
Enthroned on thorns of brimstone fury
The thief of always anoints his brow

Legion guide us, calvary calls
Entwined in threads of earthbound lust
The blood of Hubris rising (fearful)
Cast him down, nay cast him out

Beneath sombre forest funeral halflight
And moonsoaked spires of mighty oak
Titans march to summers death throes
Valour gilded hearts to overthrow
(The Sleeping Tyrant)

So is there two completely different Solstice bands? The Death thrash band and this Doom metal band...Hmm...Strange but still awesome! The Death thrash one is a little more my taste but i dig this. Or...is this just the same Solstice??

[HelloHalo117]

@thrashupyourazz 2 different bands. The death/thrash band is US, doom band is UK.

@hamidd1000 wow, pretty dumb comment for someone who listens to such great bands. Someone who likes Death and Mortal Sin should be open-minded enough to understand Solstice, or - at least - admire their great musicmanship, unique style and sense for epic melodies. You are an amateur in metal, but taste comes with the years, my friend...

[HelloHalo117]

You're comparing a doom metal band with death metal bands. Two completely different kinds of music =\

[thrashupyourazz]

@HelloHalo117 Ah okay, thank you for clearing that for me. Appreciate it. Love this Solstice though! :D

[thrashgordon88]

**** yeah! Excellent heavy metal!

[Nelson123n]

this is good but I wouldnt consider it doom metal to fast and melodic and the vocal style great non the less

[morgatron34]

I haven't heard this song in at least 5 years if not longer. Its awesome this is posted to listen to. The combination of the epic vocals and the heavy riffing is something you just can't find anymore in heavy music. I'm from Texas but I will say cheers! to HelloHalo117 for posting this most powerful song.

lets just enjoy the music guyz.no fist fights

[MrThembones]

@H0lyR4v3n that site sucks. I mean, its good in many ways, but in alot ways its just awful and not right IE not excepting Uriah Heep and Led Zeppelin, the inventers of heavy metal, and no hair metal bands.

[gothicwise]

Perfect vocals !!! 

[GodMacabre]

Who is the one loser that rated this song down?
