Oath Storm 04:48
Onward! Warclad like in days bygone A storm of oaths a last effort To heartfelt need our wardrums beat An empty stomach under siege Blood red banners fly Pitchfork unit, peasants rise Those who built the palace know the best to burn it Righteous torches Virtuous march Oath storm to the heaven's gate first we hang the landlord then we hang the priest Oath Storm A war of need
2.
Every day is just the same It just keeps getting worse Perpetual end Infinite apocalypse Going down even further Into the void Into a world of hurt Without the pace of time The realm of reocurrance Where nothing ever ends Locked in this astral place With narrowing conscious walls Forever war of senses
3.
Iron Times 05:20
Longing for a past not loaded with weight Thousand pounds of iron hanging from your neck Times of Iron, Times of Death Hear them call your name There is just forward to a nameless grave An unknown freeze makes your hackles rise where once in childhood shelter was There is no peace There is no peace There is no peace Can you see whats coming Forcing itself upon you pale horse mounted It is rape It is death
4.
Those of names and nobodies He treats each the same Kings and priests Dogs and witches Make unknown graves He is the knife itself His wings spread from north to south His grip embraces west to east We are but urns and ashes From the cradle to the grave Read the runes of aeons past That are deathless cast in stone Know all vanity is void For when he reaps, he sows
5.
Worthless 06:24
Lament of a failed son Lowered head to carry on Spineless erect Concessionist, confessionist worthless piece of shit Dragged over concrete sad, sore and numb No word will cross these lips No hands will touch this skin No use to these limbs So why not cut them No use to this neck so why not put a noose around it Failing worthless piece of shit The only thing I ever will enjoy is putting you out of misery Nothing ever but grief, grief, grief
6.
Invisible hands sow the flaming seeds and each year they return to scorch the planes of hope The fire returns One day we take it back to where it belongs (Returning Fire) Merciless bearers of light we are Promethean vengeance The spark that burns you will guide us through the night WE ARE ONE WE ARE LEGION RISE! RISE!
7.
Unsung 06:19
Victors blaze the trails Stories untold and songs unsung history of nations lessons past lives gone They shared their bread and gave their lives Remembrance erasure Purged by the triumphant The martyrdom of Şengal where fire drowns the sky Trigger finger sundown with her hair like leaden wind Write a hundred names on walls for the young to see Their tales prevail in mountain's blood
8.
Stone Ocean 05:53
Dry ground ripped with cracks A monument to the allmighty sun First, sole and last god of man Relentless predator and loving nurse it presides over the Kingdom of sand Vast, endless Ocean of stones Nothing blooms here nothing wilts Mammoth ribcage throne to seat the Hollow King Torrent of light Avalanche of death

about

Bielefeld Death/Doom project STONEWIELDERS release their debut album "IRON TIMES" into a world ravaged by cascading crises. After years of fascist backlash, climate change induced catastrophes and civil war with millions seeking refuge, a global pandemic marked the beginning of a new century.

Following "Old Earth Gone" EP as the second output written and recorded entirely in limbo of mounting dead and paralyzing containment measures after the outbreak of Covid-19, "IRON TIMES" is a testament to what every sentient being already knew:
The World Is Hell.

Forging influences of Bands like CELTIC FROST, WINTER, GRIEF or even BOLT THROWER and ASPHYX, the eight punishing tracks walk on a rusty knife's edge. Split between the pounding pace of ancient Death Metal and the elegiac pomp of Funeral Doom, STONEWIELDERS' latest effort is a spiritual successor to DISEMBOWELMENT more than it resembles current run-of-the-mill OSDM of Scandinavian variety.

"IRON TIMES" embodies steely-eyed defiance in the face of almost certain defeat. Because whatever the future holds, one thing remains certain:

Things are about to get worse.
