Ancient Bards - "The Birth of Evil"

Ancient Bards debuted their first album in 2010, which is just the beginning of a trilogy about defeating an evil overlord named "Sendor" who has obtained the black crystal sword; whomever wields this doomed sword has knowledge of all magic and an incomprehensible power. Total nerd-lore.

Very powerful female vocals over the entire album and melodic instrumentals that fit the genre absolutely perfectly. The Alliance of Kings does an amazing job of inciting a necessity to band together and begin a war! I'm very excited to hear new material from the band. Here is the second track from the album, where a man named Dorus alerts the King of the West, Daltor, about Sendor's finding of the sword. I can feel my friends defriending me from Facebook as we speak!

First the official video

The full song from the album, including guitar/bass solos!

Marcus Miller- "Blast"

If you have the willpower to restrain yourself from dancing when you hear this song, you must be a plant. Marcus Miller busting out the thickest bass all over "Blast". I'm posting the studio version and a live version. Both are simply AHH! Thanks to John for this one (although you showed me a while ago).

Studio Version
 

Live: 2009

Draconian - "Death Come Near Me"

A macabre, yet beautiful song, "Death Come Near Me" is the first song of Draconian's that I listened to. They portray death as a romance yearned for while maintaining the gruesome feeling of a dark death.  
Thanks goes to Franklin:


Draconian - "Death Come Near Me" lyrics

By day I sleep, at night I weep

Oh Death, come near me
Be the one for me, be the one (the one) who stays.
My rivers are frozen, and mischosen,
And the shadows around me sickens my heart.

Oh Death, come near me
and stay (by my side).
Hear my silent (my silent) cry!
In sadness I'm veiled, to the cross I am nailed
And the pain around me freezes my world.
My cold world...

In life I've failed
For years I've wailed.
Frozen in time... left behind...
The rapture of grief is all to find...
The rapture of grief is all.

Behind the shadow of life the lost hopes are grieving.
I seek the night and hope to find love...
So I drown in the silence of lives short eternity.
The tears fills the void in my heart astray...

Embrace me now, delightful ease...
Give me a world of wondrous peace..
Calm the desperate scream in my heart.

Oh Death, come near me,
save me from this empty, cold world
Oh Life, you have killed me,
so spare me from this cauldron of misery

In life I cry, away I fly...
Chosen to fall within these walls.
The rapture of grief is all to find
The rapture of grief is all...

Oh, shed a tear for the loss of innocence,
For the forsaken spirits who aches... (In us).
Cry for the heart who surrenders to pain,
For the solitude of those left behind.

Behold the pain and sorrow of the world,
Dream of a place away from this nightmare.
Give us love and unity under the heart of night.
Oh Death, come near us and give us life! (Life)

I know it's kind of pointless to include lyrics when the video has lyrics in it, but I'm one of those types that like to read lyrics like poetry.

Magni Animi Viri - Heroes Temporis (album)

My buddy posted an epic song on my Facebook wall and it's... well... EPIC! I can't find much information on this band, but Magni Animi Viri, a progressive operatic band from Italy (?), is the author of "Heroes Temporis" Video should be below. (I've noticed on some mobile browsers, the video doesn't show up; I would apologize but it's Blogger's fault, haha).The vocalist has a nice, powerful opera voice and the rest of the band sounds like something I'd want hear when marching to my impending death in battle (haha). Thanks to Jondair Aignogsooks for the video.
