Liner Notes

I had a couple of full-on metal tracks prepared, but when this idea of synths and drum machine combined with raw black metal came to my mind, I decided to run with it. It's stupid, simple and very käppä, but it might also be one of my favourites I've done this year, hahah! The overall execution owes heavily to Akitsa.

I wanted to try to pull more of a mid-range black metal vocals rather than low growls or high shrieks, but it's not quite there yet. Need to keep on experimenting.

Brutuböle is a real place in Finland. I've never been there, but I doubt there's actually a vampire castle in there, though...

Lyrics

Myrskytuulen mukana
Kulkee kutsuu
Läpi aikain
Linnan holveista

Nälkäiset hampaat
Varjojen viettelys
Yön olentojen laulu
Raastaa korvissa

Mustat ratsut
Sudet perässään
Alla metsästäjän kuun
Tie turmioon

Translation:

Along with the storm wind
A call is carried
Through aeons
From the castle vaults

Hungry teeth
The seduction of shadows
Song of the creatures of the night
Grinds in the ears

Black horses
Wolves at their back
Under the hunter's moon
Road to ruin

There's something very Darkthrone about this... I think it's the simplicity of the riff. They don't always hit the spot for me, but they do always remind me that simple is often best and that there is something evilly hypnotic that can come from it. Which is the vibe you've nailed with this for sure.

Cool lyrics and some great metal music here. Really well done.

Love metal (and I did do one "metalish" song this FAWM--"DIGITAL UNDERGROUND"), and taught my boys to love it...but I've kind of gotten away from it over the years. Nice to hear this one to remind me how great it can be! (And it's SO popular in Scandanavia--what's up with that?) ❤️

@gordon 3d

Is it wrong to nod your head in time with the music? I hope not, otherwise guilty as charged. Very vampiresque if that's a word. Thanks also for including a translation 😊

May Satan bless the käppä! I want to live in BRUTUBÖÖLE! This is so gooood

Ooh this is very good and definitely giving vampire - think the midrange vocals are pretty on point really, and works very well here. Slightly black and roll vibes.
