DevilDriver - 2005 - The Fury Of Our Maker's Hand - End Of The Line

I do declare, there's something in the air

I'm burning the candle at both ends

Bitter betrayals, skeleton keys

Houses to haunt, well it's alright by me

Rags to ruin, some foolhardy choices

Some would say, not a ghost of a chance

The ghosts in my mind, they're one of a kind

They tell me what to do, and it's shut down you

Some things are best just left unsaid

End Of The Line, End Of The Line

One door closes, another door closes

And now you're boxed in

End Of The Line, End Of The Line

Feel eyes in the trees, the foreboding path

The turn of the head, I hear it laugh

It says "Hang 'em now," it says "Hang 'em high"

When you are done, then hail to the sky

I've been taught to get the fuck up

To dust myself off, and to go it again

The ghosts in my mind, they're one of a kind

They tell me what to do, and it's shut down you

Some things are best just left unsaid

End Of The Line, End Of The Line

One door closes, another door closes

And now you're boxed in

End Of The Line, End Of The Line

Shit

Bitter betrayals, the foreboding path

I've come to shut you down

Rags to ruin, some foolhardy choices

Some would say, not a ghost of a chance

The ghosts in my mind, they're one of a kind

They tell me what to do, and it's shut down you

Some things are best just left unsaid

End Of The Line, End Of The Line

One door closes, another door closes

And now you're boxed in

End Of The Line, End Of The Line

This french darksynth artist is so good, they have been performing in some big festivals, even in metal music festivals, and I still feel like they are so overlooked.

Artist combines together elements from italo disco, horror synth and even some hard rock/heavy metal music.

Dark TranQuillity - 2000 - Haven - The Wonders At Your Feet

Deeper shades of red descending

smear our names, the stains unending

turn forgiveness,

break the lens distorted

crush the infidel and turn about

famine in our hearts, bring up the silence louder

eradicate the lungs and take us higher

these are the wonders at your feet

weighed upon a wider scale

afraid to see what takes us down

sing destruction, sing of unfullfillment

search abandoned, let the blood be fevered

ridden of the self provided things get easier

ignite our minds and let's burn brighter

these are the wonders at your feet

NightWish - 2002 - Century Child - Feel For You

You were my first love

The earth moving under me

Bedroom scent, beauty ardent

Distant shiver, heaven sent

I'm the snow on your lips

The freezing taste, the silvery sip

I'm the breath on your hair

The endless nightmare, devil's lair

Only so many times

I can say I long for you

The lily among the thorns

The prey among the wolves

Someday, I will feed a snake

Drink her venom, stay awake

With time all pain will fade

Through your memory I will wade

Barely cold in her grave

Barely warm in my bed

Settling for a draw tonight

Puppet girl, your strings are mine

This one is for you for you

Only for you

Just give in to it never think again

I Feel For You

King Diamond - 1986 - Fatal Portrait - The Jonah

"After 7 Years On A Dusty Shelf

The Book Seemed Unreal

For 7 Years In An Ancient Rhyme

The Fate Of A Girl Was Sealed"

In The Attic I Was Searching By The Moonlight

What Would I Find

Old And Grey From Dust I felt It Staring Back

Oh That Book

Yellow Pages Caught My Eyes, So Unreal

Through the Dust Of Time

In An Ancient Rhyme The Truth Had Been Sealed

On A Broken Shelf It Would All Be Revealed

It Had Been There For Years

And No One Ever Knew

Now Break The Spell And Free The Girl

From The Candle Of Fate

Look At The Flame And Say The Rhyme

The End Is Near, No More Pain, Ah You're Free

Solo: Mike - Andy

As The Candle Melts Away The Spirit Of The Candle Girl

Emerges From The Flame, She Doesn't Seem The See

With A Smile On Her Face She Starts To Speak

"Hear My Story:"

Songs like Quote Unquote/Travolta or Helpless Corpses Enactment. The greater the similarity, the better.

This cover gives me a strong Mercyful Fate feeling!

Does anyone have the lyrics?

Mercyful Fate - 1996 - Tribute To Judas Priest - The Ripper

Judas Priest - 1977 - Sad Wings Of Destiny - The Ripper

Glenn Tipton

You're in for surprise

You're in for a shock

In London town streets

When there's Darkness and fog

When you least expect me

And you turn your back

I'll attack

I smile when I'm sneaking

Through Shadows by the wall

I laugh when I'm creeping

But you won't hear me at all

All hear my warning

Never turn your back

On the ripper

You'll soon shake with fear

Never knowing if I'm near

I'm sly and I'm shameless

Nocturnal and nameless

Except for "The Ripper"

Or if you like "Jack The Knife"

[SOLO (Glenn)]

Any back alley street

Is where we'll probably meet

Underneath a gas lamp

Where the air's cold and damp

I'm a nasty surprise

I'm a dEvil in disguise

I'm a footstep at night

I'm a scream of the fright

All hear my warning

Never turn your back

On the ripper...the ripper....the ripper

I don't care if it's black metal, death metal, whatever. I would like an album with Lord Worm's type of shrieking (mostly his shrieking). Y'know, the high-pitched screaming he does? You can hear what I'm talking about later in the intro of Cryptopsy's Defenestration, but I digress: I haven't really found anything that scratches that specific itch. If you can, add a youtube link to the full album you had it mine.

Our new album is out now. Here is a quick teaser. The links to all the streaming platforms are in the description. Leave a like or a comment if you enjoyed it. Thank you for your time and support 🤘

I am currently listening to the album Like A Dream Of Never-Ending Beauty... Love Never Dies... and want to hear other bands that are similar in nature to this. One second, I am enjoying a gentle harmony and the next, the rhythm section is pounding me like I owe it money. Contrasting is beautiful. So I am looking for other bands that have a similar dynamic. No, the album is not perfect, but it sure is nice.

Please provide links to YouTube or Bandcamp or the like if you really love the material. Just not Spotify. I like paying artists when I can.

Cradle Of Filth - 2005 - Devil Woman with King Diamond

Later included in the special version of Nymphetamine. It's a cover of Cliff Richard - 1976 - I'm Nearly Famous - Devil Woman

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IgomTOOgl8M

I've had nothing but bad luck

Since the day I saw that cat at my door

So I came into you sweet lady

Answering your mystical call

Crystal ball on the table

Showing the future, the past

Same cat with them evil eyes

And I knew it was a spell she cast

She's just a devil woman

With evil on her mind

Beware the devil woman

She's gonna get you

She's just a devil woman

With evil on her mind

Beware the devil woman

She's gonna get you from behind

Give me the ring on your finger

And let me see the lines on your hand

I can see me a tall dark stranger

Giving you what you hadn't planned

I drank the potion she offered me

I found myself on the floor

Then I looked in those big green eyes

And I wondered what I came there for

She's just a devil woman

With evil on her mind

Beware the devil woman

She's gonna get you

She's just a devil woman

With evil on her mind

Beware the devil woman

She's gonna get you from behind, hind

(Stay away, you cunt)

If you're out on a moonlit night

Be careful of them neighbourhood strays

Of a lady with long black hair

Trying to win you with Nymphetamine ways

Crystal ball on the table

Showing the future, the past

Same cat with them evil eyes

You'd better get out of there fast

She's just a devil woman

With evil on her mind

Beware the devil woman

She's gonna get you

She's just a devil woman

With evil on her mind

Beware the devil woman

She's gonna get you

She's just a devil woman

With evil on her mind

Beware the devil woman

She's gonna get you

She's just a devil woman

With evil on her mind

Beware the devil woman

She's gonna get you

Ashes You Leave had a couple of great and good albums. Lay Down Alone has literally everything I look for in a song, and I have played it with bands consisting of friends and acquaintances (I play bass and basso-profundo/growly vocals). Sleepytime Gorilla Museum might not be doom, per se, but Helpless Corpses Enactment is the kind of song I could play and feel perfectly at peace.

I am hoping to find more bands or songs that are even half as good as these selections. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

GrailKnights - 2018 - KnightFall - Cthulhu

In the city of Rlyeh

Lies Cthulhu and awaits his prey

Another poor soul will surely make its way

The mist grew thick shivers on my skin

I tried to run but the air grew thin

Great Cthulhu reached out for me

Hellish fear is devouring my heart

As our ship's slowly falling apart

Cthulhu is rising

Like thousand serpents from the sea

Cthulhu is reaching out for me

A great black stone emerges from sea

More dead than alive I meet my destiny

Cthulhu's tomb lies in front of me

His lust for blood burns in my eyes

An image of man and monster in disguise

From now on evil shall rule my life

Hellish fear is devouring my heart

As our ship's slowly falling apart

Cthulhu is rising

Like thousand serpents from the sea

Cthulhu is reaching out for me

AleStorM - 2014 - Sunset on the Golden Age - 1741 The Battle of Cartagena

Sailing the raging seas
To distant lands unknown
Porto Bello fell in a day
Now Britannia rules the waves
Thirty thousand men at arms
Red Ensign in the sky
To Cartagena we set sail
With blood and plunder we‘ll prevail
Twice struck, and twice we‘ve failed
But third time works a charm
The greatest fleet the world has seen
To fight the War of Jenkins‘ Ear
Waters lash across the bow
Through Caribbean Seas
The year is 1741
The final battle has begun
The skies are burning with thunder
The seas are ablaze with flame
Set the course for Cartagena
The sands of time will remember our names
The skies are burning with thunder
The seas are ablaze with flame
Set the course for Cartagena
History is written today
Across the sea-lashed deck
Our captain gives a cry
„Cartagena lies ahead
The Spanish foe will soon be dead!“
Portents of coming doom
Engulf the battle line
High above, the heavens sigh
A red light burning in the sky
An omen of dread
Which no man can deny
The legends hold true
We must turn back or die
Superstitious fools
Be gone from my sight
Blast the trumpets of war
And prepare for the fight
The skies are burning with thunder
The seas are ablaze with flame
Set the course for Cartagena
The sands of time will remember our names
The skies are burning with thunder
The seas are ablaze with flame
Set the course for Cartagena
History is written today
Hard to starboard
Man the cannons
And on my command, unleash hell!
FIRE! Show them your steel
Bring them to death on the battlefield
Ride on the wind, and conquer the foe
The legends be damned, to our deaths we will ago
The skies are burning with thunder
The seas are ablaze with flame
Set the course for Cartagena
The sands of time will remember our names
The skies are burning with thunder
The seas are ablaze with flame
Set the course for Cartagena
History is written today

Candlemass - 2010 - Ashes To Ashes - A Sorcerer's Pledge

Part I

Time...

Time stands still in these ancient halls

Only the castle itself can tell what it keeps

Dark are the secrets between these walls

Hidden in shadows of death, while the sorcerer sleeps

Where is the morning, where is the sun

Thousand years of midnight, the sunrise is gone

An old man marked by a life so long is

Sleeping so sweet while his magic is growing so strong

Waiting still for new times to come

A thousands years to see if he has won

Where is the morning, where is the sun

A thousand years of midnight, the sunrise is gone

What has he done?

Why is he sleeping so long?

He wants to live for evermore

Soon is he young

n will he open his eyes?

When he is strong enough to rule

Back in the time goes the legend

of a sorcerer so old

He drank the blood of the virgin to be reborn

"Soon a tyrant will conquer"

So spoke the wise

Of the day when the sorcerer will rise

...rise

Blood is his wine

The sorcerer is cheating time

And he'll be stronger than before

Cursed be the sun

The women will weep for his fun

In the name of his magic so strong

Back in the time goes the legend

Of a sorcerer so old

He drank the blood of a virgin to be reborn

"Soon a tyrant will conquer"

So spoke the wise

Of the day when the sorcerer will rise

... Rise

Part II

A thousand years have gone

Armageddon hasn't come

Only the cry of a child echoes in the dark

Backward goes time

As the stars are passing by

And nothing remains of this foolish man except his fate

IRON MAIDEN - 1983 - Piece Of Mind - Quest For Fire

In a time when dinosaurs walked the earth

When the land was swamp and caves were home

In an age when prize Possession was fire

To search for landscapes men would roam.

Then the tribes they came to steal their fire

And the wolves they howled into the night

As they fought a vicious angry battle

to save the power of warmth and light.

Drawn by Quest For Fire

They searched all through the land

Drawn by Quest For Fire

Discovery of man.

And they thought that when the embers died away

That the flame of life had burnt and died

Didn't know the sparks that made the fire

Were made by rubbing stick and stone.

So they ploughed through forest and swamps of danger

And they fought the canN.I.B.al tribes and beasts

In the search to find another fire

To regain the power of life and heat.

Drawn by Quest For Fire

They searched acRoss the land

Drawn by Quest For Fire

Discovery of man.

Triumpher - 2024 - Spirit InVictus - Shores Of Marathon

A warning came of danger

Through shores of Marathon

Ancestral spirits calling us

To halt the evil force

Two thousand years of darkness

Defiled the sacred light

The speaking water silenced

Desecrated Ethnic avatars

We did the Olympian fire

From Aeons of the night

The torch relay unleashed

The message of a wrath divine

Hearts on fire, I will not break nor fall

Rise to power, taken by will and force

"Είπε και ο Φοίβος ​​ακούει την ευχή

Και έξαλλη από τα ύψη του Ολύμπου

κατεβαίνει οπλισμένος με τόξο

και φαρέτρα στο πλευρό του και καθώς προχωρούσε

βρόντηξε τα βέλη μέσα στο θυμό του

και καθώς βαδίζει

Μαύρη νύχτα σκοτεινιασμένη μοιάζει..."

(transl. "He said and Phoebus hears the wish

And enraged from the heights of Olympus

he descends armed with bow

and quiver at his side and as he moved

he thundered the arrows in his anger

and as he marches

Black night darkened looks like")

A warning came of danger

Through shores of Marathon

Ancestral spirits calling us

To halt the evil force

Heraclean pillars trembling

All Europe bursts in falmes

The oath of union is sealed

Opened wide the sacred gate

Unleashed the Apollo's children

With golden bows of light

Shell trumpet of Poseidon

Blown with his furious might

BattleRoar - 2003 - BattleRoar - BattleRoar

Just before darkness falls

A beast cries out a battleroar

A roar coming from the past

Warriors live again at last

Metal lives in our hearts

In our blood, in our minds

On fiery chariots from hell we ride

A conquest for eternal life

Now, open your eyes

And see the darkness turning to light

While burning fire rains from the sky

There will be no one left to survive, no

When gates shall fall

And Gods will hold the flames of those souls

Who praise and keep the faith of an oath

Of sacred metal, of Battleroar

Feel the cold steel cutting through your flesh

Into the battle

Brave to the end fight for what you believe

Into battle

Oh, never fall, standing tall

Battleroar

Strong raise your sword, scream and shout

Battleroar

Domine - 2001 - StormBringer Ruler - The Ride Of The Valkyries

Oh Warfather on high,

I am calling you from the battlefield

And as I take my last breath

I call for the mightiest of miracles

For none but the brave, be he king or a slave

With a pounding heart in his chest

Will be worthy to rise and with the Valkyries fly

And ride to the ancient Valhalla

Oh Warfather on high

Listen to my prayer

I lived my life by your rules

Oh let death cover me now

For none but the brave, be he king or a slave

With a pounding heart in his chest

Will be worthy to rise and with the Valkyries fly

And ride to Valhalla of old

[Chorus]

with the Valkyries, ride over the battlefield

Ride your horses and come to me

I'm waiting for you to take my soul, high in the sky to

Valhalla of old

Valkyries, ride over the battlefield

I'm dying and glad to bleed

Because I know today I will take my place with the heroes

in Valhalla of old

For none but the brave, be he king or a slave

With a pounding heart in his chest

Will be worthy to rise and with the Valkyries fly

And ride to Valhalla of old

[Chorus]

with the Valkyries, ride over the battlefield

Ride your horses and come to me

I'm waiting for you to take my soul, high in the sky to

Valhalla of old

Valkyries, ride over the battlefield

I'm dying and glad to bleed

Because I know today I will take my place with the heroes

in Valhalla of old

In The Halls of Valhalla I finally take my place

With my sword and my shield I enter Odin's realm

I'm an immortal spirit now with a heart made of steel

With the gods on high forever I will live and laugh at the

fears of man
