lyrics

The ice it begins to thaw
Rivers run red with blood of beasts
Three warriors emerge to dawn
Done with war they yearn for peace
The night it yields to day
And shadows begin retreat
It holds all that's evil at bay
And they shall know no defeat

The spiral twists
A fate entwined
Shrouded in mist
The thread unwinds

Birth!
Life!
Death!

We traversed the mountain side
And journeyed to the edge of the world
To seek out the hermit wise
And heal our fate unfurled
The building blocks of life
Are held within his grasp
And as he grips them tight
The light fades into the past

I gather my strength
Ritual proceeds
I've gone to great lengths
So the summoning succeeds
Out of the depths
Through broken Ice
To the forsaken steps
They'll pay the price

The Ancient (Shrouded)
The Warrior (Weakened)
The Wizard (Jaded)
The Rogue (Blinded)

The tables turned
Hunters to prey
The peace subsided
The end of days

The Ancient (Shrouded)
The Warrior (Weakened)
The Wizard (Jaded)
The Rogue (Blinded)

I love doom bands when they have a female on vocals. I own two of this bands releases now. I like'em. I own a lot of music from Ripple Music now.....they're a good label. Rich Kinman

An amazing album 👍🏻 It took me a while to get into Boss Keloid’s groove. I knew intellectually that it was my kinda music but I didn’t take to Melted On The Inch like I thought I would. I think listening to lots of modern jazz limbered me up! This is really complicated prog rock with heavy ass guitars added for street cred. I’m so happy that anyone might consider this band cool. They’re fucking cool to me but music like this has been vilified in the past. All hail the new Gentle Giant! Crinklechips

This album is an absolute banger. The riffs are especially groovy this time, the vocals are amazing, and the overall thing is supercatchy. If I'd have to list one downside, it's that the mix is so bass-heavy that the sound only truely comes into it's right when listened on good headphones or extremely good speakers. On anything less it can sound like the bass drowns the rest of the music out. 9/10 Buzzario
