I'm hoping for a Tarot part 2 with the remaining arcana. The concept of this album was amazing, to the point where it is my favourite album of this band. As much as I don't give a rats arse about divination, what they did with it in this album was excellent. The high priestess The empress The hierophant The lovers The hermit Wheel of fortune Justice The hanged man Judgement The world Easily enough for a second album. Who knows, maybe they are working on it?

[@phantimon6175]

ZA WARUDO

[@BudokaMilonguero]

@@phantimon6175 we absolutely need za warudo. Gu gu gu gu

[@Yuki-wz3rc]

That would be amazing honestly. I bet The World would be a massive hit if they do good on it

[@vectorlua8081]

Judgement sounds like a fun song.

[@xucuru77]

The World would be 32 minutes lol

[@aarontotten7043]

The links between this and the sun the moon the star really complete it and reaffirm this as my favorite album ever made.

[@devanshtyagi1403]

It would've become my favourite but they didn't make songs about my favourite card 😔

[@seba.4926]

@@devanshtyagi1403 f, the songs are more about the name of the card than the meaning anyway lol

[@MrEgofreak]

@@devanshtyagi1403 What's that, out of curiosity?

[@juliomontega2868]

@@seba.4926 Maybe they had to work with the hand they were dealt and thus the personal note. ;)

[@Morningstack]

@@devanshtyagi1403 Lovers? Hierophant? Hanged man? It's been a year, we need to know!

[@robp381]

I love how the intro melody comes back in TSTMTS. Leitmotifs are the shit, wish more bands did that!

[@mechafuture]

I think Trivium did that with Shogun

[@attheveryend]

and periphery with murasame, ragnarok, and masamune.

[@JL-pl3kw]

Also Gloryhammer with Rise of the Chaos Wizards

[@scyfrix]

And it comes back in Craft and the Creator.

[@andreaseverin1346]

And recently Havok with V, while reversing the riff a la Blackened

[@ban1me540]

Next time I read Stardust Crusaders I'm definitely putting this on as background music

[@smokeemifyougotem9662]

Lyrics: In the shadow of the light, I lived as a shadow of my past life. Tears of the father, blood of the son Through years of dishonor, come undone So I'll armor myself with this knowledge And I'll match my speed to the wind I'll journey away, far from this place and pray, none will know me as a "friend" By moonlight and starlight Those shadows let me astray Take comfort in darkness Hide me away from the light Her hand gripped mine I went with an open mind But the light she shined on me It burned me deep down to my bones, And I promised I would never Allow myself to feel the light again Through the flesh that sloughed from the bone Was blackened and diseased That flash was not my flesh That blood was not my blood Yet still in the shadow I hide Drag me back into the grave And let me die Cling to comfort child, no longer Suffer with pride The pain: Healing Wait not, for time will surely Not wait for thee Is that the ticking of the clock Or the beating of your weakening heart? Hear the thunderous rumbling

[@inwsfadox]

My English is pretty bad, and i'm using comments not very often, but i just must write this. I love music. No really, everyone loves music, but in my life it holding a special place. Music is one of the main powers, that drives me through my life, setting the mood, playing in my head, even when i'm not listening something. And Melodic Death metal, Folk metal, and metal in general is the genres of music i most preferring to listen. And im always looking for the new bands, with their special vision of music. And not so long ago i find you, guys. I totally missed your past album and i'm almost feel sorry about this. I mean the brutality and beauty combined in your songs are fucking great. And that juicy sound... You are like the essence of the all MDM bands that i love, so poetic brutal and athmospheric it sounds. I wish you a great future, and the with music like that you playing, you deserve it more than everyone. Keep up the great work. You pretty new, but loyal fan from Russia. (come to our country, i want to listen you guys live)

[@AetherRealm]

Thank you so much! We're getting closer than ever before with a european tour this October (with Alestorm and Troldhaugen). We'll continue the mission to push farther east!

[@gecclesable]

Your English is just fine. Good job. I regret not donating to the fundraiser that these guys had a year or so ago. I was really considering a max donation then I got lazy. This music is amazing. Passion. Loud. Melodic. Sexy. Wow! I am so happy to hear new content. Next time I am all in. Wow. Just wow.

[@CInFlames]

thanks to that tour i got to know you guys, and you guys are awesome! see you in Nijmegen :D

[@aFoxyFox.]

Hello. Don't worry about your English level or skill. Please communicate with me and share your greatest musical discoveries and favorite songs which impact you most powerfully and feel spiritual for you. My email is [e-mail] and I'd like a full list at any length of the most powerful and meaningful for you music you've ever happened upon. I would not mind the stories behind each song you've found and what it induces in your thinking as well and means to you. I look for people who are influenced by music and for who music has a very special power and significance to see what they come up with. I look forward to hearing from you!

[@bradley3809]

I've heard far worse English from people that speak it as they're first language.

[@forcefan1211]

The lyrics in the middle section are absolutely visceral! There's some fucking POWER behind the line "Drag me back into the grave and let me die".

[@OGspidercat]

"The title of the last song you listened to describes your life!" Me:

[@KookaiPLZ]

Wow I was listening to this when it started to storm, such a nice atmosphere!

[@malantai4403]

You guys are the best. I came to a concert to see Alestorm and I discovered you, and I should have come for you instead, because you really are an awesome band, and I wish you all the best. Your music got me into shedding tears because of how beautiful it is.

[@markmiliani9086]

..God damm !!!! ..i was looking for a completely different band ...and came across this... and i gave it a listen ..and THANK GOD FOR RANDOM KZbin RESULTS !!! This is real Amazing shit.. !!! ..got a fan right here !!

[@MrEgofreak]

Check out The Sun, The Moon, The Stars. One of the most moving pieces of music I've ever heard.

[@A_Ducky]

@@MrEgofreak That song just made me a forever fan. It was recommended after Paradise Lost.

[@MrEgofreak]

@@A_Ducky Paradise Lost is great too! Funny how you find all the amazing bands clumped together.

[@raullobleon8337]

I was listening to Lana Lane and KZbin recommended the last track of this album, best random video ever!!!

[@hireslehibousacre756]

I’m listening to this while reading Berserk. That’s pretty cool

[@Loves2Spuuge]

Are you me?

[@Funkyhydra]

If you like Berserk and metla, you def should listen to Beast in Black! That's a power group whose songs are centered around Berserk's universe (and the vocal range of the singer, wtf?!)

[@jamesm4817]

Looks like agalloch has a competitor for berserk reading time (Edit: spelling)

[@SylvioNetoEmmo]

Just discovered you at spotify. God damn.

[@awesomeaustin531]

Died in my video game right as he sang "DIE" lol.

[@jcivilis533]

This is IMO the best track from what I've listened of this album so far. I love the buildup in this, and the lyrics are great too. Songs like The Chariot are a little bit more "unique" but this still takes the cake

[@meyx4664]

i cant stop listening to this. great job

[@dand4139]

Wonderful, beautiful, powerful, fantastic

Fuck it. Im convinced. Buying this album

Amazing work, and the dynamic range just makes the soft bit followed by the explosion of sound that much more powerful! Great, great work! Edit: Will be buying a physical copy. Edit 2: The merchandise link is dead.

[@seba.4926]

are you ok? you know jojo didnt invent tarot cards right? lol

[@yaduvenqislev6789]

Yeah yeah yeah, I just didn't know about the band or the song and because I had a lot of Jojo-related recommendations on KZbin, I really thought this was some kind of Jojo song or something like that.

@@privilegium9280 Extremely late reply, but I have a hunch that their logo is just their initials (half A, half R) made to look like a rune.

[@MrDai_]

What genre is this metal

[@MetalKeith666]

Yes this is Metal.

[@MetalKeith666]

Check my playlists if u want some great Metal

[@DaniaxII]

Melodic/symphonic black metal i think

[@alfnorg3639]

The genre of this band with this specific album is melodic death metal with symphonic/atmospheric black metal influence.

[@brandonwise2157]

I usually go with Melodeath atmospheric black folk metal :)

[@pbmdh]

Really wish there was extended version of the first 4ish minutes, that tune plus the blasts mixed in is so good.
