Ancient covert command
We’re bound to rule this land
Honor for the Empire
Victory through technology
Primal - I hear the call of the hunt
To live is to to confront
Command the stars to align
This day the battle is mine
Upstream I travel the river of blood
Rise high my spirit
Contest the sun
I have foreseen
The evil star is guiding me
Leading true warrior’s life
You’ll see our order rise
Submit to the chosen ones
House of three violent sons
Upstream I travel the river of blood
Rise high my spirit
Contest the sun
I have foreseen
The evil star is guiding me

Tales from the Third Age

White hand of magician’s slowly rising
A sign and army of thousands turn
He’s one with arcane power
One false move and away you burn
His voice still echoes deep inside
Calls me on distant mountainsides
Dark thoughts that evil mind devices
Fouls your sense of reality
The ever watchful tower
Scorching eye is fixed on me
Can hear me lament every night
High up hungry nightmares ride
They cry
Iron and greed
Mankind’s last deed
Chaos and might
Immortal knight
King of the dead
Panic and dread
Fire and fear
Endlessly sear
Lost, found and freed for centuries
Enchanted dreams and memories
It feels so light, I feel it’s might

Shattered Illusion
05:01

Ending this reign of the madness just few strikes away
Your mind’s being cruel
Concealing the feeling that’s true
Searching for reasons
Seduced by my demons
BREACH IN MIND
Shattered illusion
REACH IN TIME
Wake up in terror imaginary error
Deceived
Mind thieving misleading fate
Regain control before it’s too late
A tempest of relentless rage
Approaching the final stage
Once you let go
You get cut
By the shards of
BREACH IN MIND
Shattered illusion
REACH IN TIME
Ending this reign of the madness just few strikes away
Displaced - you are cut out of time
Delusion invading your mind
Awaken by thundering scream
Stranded in shattered dream
Once you let go
You get cut
By the shards of
BREACH IN MIND
Shattered illusion
REACH IN TIME
Shattered illusion

Corrupt Champion
05:31
|

|
Amassed from stardust
Arose the conqueror
Taker not giver
Swipe all off the face of earth
Silence the howling heart of evil
Withdraw back from the quest
Captor of light
Sworn - the midnight heir
Drawn in by black
A place of no return
You’ve reached the final floor of darkness
Withdraw back from the quest
Guardian
Corrupt champion
Fall down every turn
To keep from the old ways the secret you’ll learn
The quest that should not return
Disarmed from power
The vanquished wanderer
Taken from spirit, the body and the earth
Silent has fallen the call primeval
Withdraw back from the quest
Banish the formless evil
Shut down the gates of hell
Guardian
Corrupt champion
Fall down every turn
To keep from the old ways the secret you’ll learn
The quest that should not return

The Attunement

Between the giant
And two rivals locked in endless war
I climb the highest mountain
To draw my strength from the radiant one
Cursed are those defiant
Bound by dusk forevermore
I beg forgiveness from my Goddess
Entomb my body in your silver gloom
Even the most valiant
Terrified right to the core
I bless my starving steel
Wield the night sky stars as my shield
MIGHT OF NIGHT
FIGHT
Crescent Knight
RIDE STARLIGHT
Engraved in my blade
The sign of silver doom
Exiled from light of day
Now attuned to the moon
Come take what’s yours
Empress of tides
Your rightful seat
Amidst the sky
Oh celestial queen
What more do you ask from me?
Oh celestial queen
What more do you ask from me?

about
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the striking debut mini-album of Finland’s EMISSARY, self-titled Emissary, on cd and 12” vinyl format.
The planetary grid is riddled with unsteady and weak sonic occurrences, leaving a gap in the terrestrial soundscape. A planet-side distress signal originates from the northern hemisphere. Three trackers have joined forces in a mission to seal the aperture for good.
They are known as EMISSARY.
The tale of Finland’s EMISSARY began in October 2019, just moments before a Cirith Ungol gig in Helsinki. Dimi (Ranger) and Iiro’s idea of a band, which had already been around for years, got the fire it needed when they were chatting before the show with an old acquaintance, Joel (ex-Chevalier), and it turned out that his conceptions and ideas about music matched perfectly with the duo. Already at the first jam session, everything fell into place, and the trio focused immediately on writing their own songs. A shared vision crystallized week by week as sci-fi and fantasy fueled the ideas for the material. Even in the very beginning, the unrelenting power of old-school US power metal and the challenging structures of prog rock were the centerpieces of the music.
The epidemic slowed down the trio's activities in spring 2020, but EMISSARY continued to actively rehearse whenever possible. In less than a year’s time after founding, the band began to record their debut five-track mini-album in cooperation with producer/engineer Anselmi Ahopalo.
Using precise state-of-the-art tech and stalwart sonic equipment from eras bygone, they have devised heavier-than-sun frequencies that would secure the breach and they would devote themselves as the Guardians of the Seal.
Indeed, EMISSARYs list of influences is vast and idiosyncratic. From the cult likes of Helstar, Sacred Blade, Camel, Virgin Steele, and Chastain to the big likes of Iron Maiden, Rush, Black Sabbath, Mercyful Fate, and Yes to films like Conan the Barbarian, Blade Runner, the first two Predator movies, the Star Trek franchise, and many, MANY more, EMISSARY’s pool of textures and sensations is nigh overwhelming, if not for the bravado in which they pursue their own sound and the resultant compositional mastery they so freely flex across Emissary. Truly, the record’s five primary songs – the aptly titled “Galactic Overture” sets the stage as an intro – burst and bristle with so many dazzling shapes, it’s almost an afterthought that the power-trio make these sonic sci-fi castles catchy. So, chops for days and also hooks just as long, EMISSARY here deliver a half-hour of infinite possibilities in what’s bound to be a classically brazen first statement – and now, under the auspices of DYING VICTIMS.
Stand by to receive auricular surge of earth-shattering heavy metal.
THE ORDER WILL BE RESTORED

"...Spell liken their music to “hypnotic heavy metal” and it’s a truly spot on description from hem. From the first notes of Tragic Magic to the final ones, it holds you and puts you into a trance like no other that by the end of it you feel different. You gotta sit with what you just heard and soak it in before moving on." Read more on Antifascist Steel: https://tinyurl.com/wd3nfsp

Allow me to copy Pagan Altar's third album title to describe not only III:Pentecost but the whole discography of Wytch Hazel so far: well, yes, it's Magical and Mythical!!! A must-have for the lovers of 70's hard sound revival.

Stumbled upon this gem by accident. The band itself has been recommended to me by a friend many moons ago. So damn catchy.
