SCALD Will Of The Gods Is Great Power

   Late night. On coast of northern sea stands a big village. Despite of so late hour, people do not sleep. Around burn fires, sparkle swords and spears. Part of the men are taking to the ships, worth at coast, provisions and other equipment. The strong half of village is sent in a campaign. On a hill, that steeply hangs down above the sea, stands scald - the singer of war. Highly having lifted hands to the sky, he asks gods of blessing for soldiers, success in a campaign. His strong voice is audible far from here. It inspires vikings to the new victories, new gains. The sky already changes color of soot for color of the dark sea. Soon a dawn. Almost all is prepared to departure and people are gradually tightened to coast, where pending will go to a long journey on boundless sea open spaces the ships stand. Tears appear on eyes of women and small children. Men force them to calm down, assuring, that soon everyone will return from a campaign. Young, still absolutely young fellows, promise the fine brides to bring from another's land a jewelry, rich gifts. Those redden, look in the ground, feeling as burn the eyes full of love. Old men worldly-wise ma lot on the life give young wise advices. Only scald alone sings of gods in the songs it would seem a unearthly origin a voice. His singing emphasizes, that war is first of all the lost soldiers and a pain of their relatives, and then pleasure of winners. In spite of the fact that someone tries to joke, at all on persons serious, thoughtful and little bit sad expressions. And the sky in the meantime has dressed dark blue color and soldiers have gradually started to sit down in ships. In their souls the alarm stays, but each of them is ready, if it is required, to die in fight as the brave soldier that after death to find rest of Valhalla. Already all be settled in places, sails are lifted. rowers lean on paddles and the ships sail away from coast. Soldiers and the rest on coast wave each other with hands, wives wish fast and successful returning the husbands. People on coast become all more finely, turning in points. The voice of scald is hardly heard. The solar disk already has entirely come up from the boundless sea, and ships cheerfully run on waves, carrying soldiers to the new feats, the new victories, new adventures...
   The given release - re-issuing of a debut and unique album of cult Russian group SCALD. Definition of a genre orientation of music is designated by musicians as ancient doom metal. I think, it as well as possible displays that it is possible to hear on an album, the truth are available here and blacking guitars.
