about
This is the song that gives the name of the LP and describes in its lyrics a certain sentiment of "blood bonding over time"! It tries to recapture the crude spirit and fierce personality of our predecessors who spent their last night before a battle eating and partying around a bonfire together with families preparing their souls for what were to come... as they are ready to fight and give their own life in front of invading enemies, to sacrifice themselves by committing the ultimate act of suicide, if needed be. The Dacian warriors drank poison or cut their necks using short and bent swords, as did the great king Decebalus, thus preserving their dignity and honor, rather than falling prisoners in the enemy's hands! They laughed at death and choose it with reverence, instead of becoming prisoners of war and spending their remaining life as slaves! We offer this view in order to reveal a long forgotten and perished world through the union of an overwhelming spiritual remembrance.
lyrics
Hai!!!
Strămoșii beau, beau și petrec
ultima noapte pentru că știu, că vor Muri, se vor jertfi,
ultimul drum, ei vor porni!
Femeile plâng, plâng și jelesc
ultima noapte pentru că știu, vor suferi și vor jeli,
cupele îs pline de Venin!!!
Soarele apune, Noaptea se pune
Barbarii se adună subt clar de lună!
Cupele în aer, Berbeci pe foc,
Toți împreună beau și petrec!
Lai, la la la, lai la la
lai la la la la... beau și cinstesc!!!
Strămoșii râd, râd cu mândrie
Flacăra onoarei arde aprins!!!
Strămoșii liberi, liberi trăiesc
Moartea cu demnnitate ei au ales!!!
Soarele apune, Noaptea se pune
Barbari se adună subt clar de lună!
Cupele în aer, Berbeci pe foc
Toți împreună beau și petrec!!!
Falxurile în aer, Jertfe în foc
Toți împreună beau și petrec!!!
They are returning for a fulminant epos of Barbarian Metal with an Epic Ire... Violent visions marked by a sacrificial cult
and reshaped under the blade of blood! A conceptual vision dedicated to the old Barbarian and long forgotten traditions, that speaks about Folklore heritage based on Dacian history & mythology and the ancient ways of those barbaric people!

I never cared about symphonic metal at all. I do very much care about folk as well as progressive metal, and so I couldn't resist after reading the third exceptional AMG review for Wilderun in a row. 'Sleep...' has been on my radar for quite some time, being graced by one of the most beckoning cover arts I have ever seen. The band more than lives up to its reputation, composing great musical pieces from start to finish. I absolutely love the multitude of influences being put together here. David Fischer

The first 30 seconds of "Revenge by Fire" convinced me to get the whole album! It is a face-melting blend of speed and black metal, reminiscent of Hellripper! KVAEN is a Swedish solo project much like Hellripper but many known guest musicians helped J. Björnfot in his endeavor. Altogether it is really a solid debut album, I loved the melodies and the pace changes in the second half too, ending with a "calm" instrumental one. Well-done!! sachavonkarl74
