Light Bender
03:34
|

|
Coal coat, six footed strides
Manipulator of the visible light
I am not man
Cobalt menace with a violent smile
Ferocity of the primal wild
I am more than
I am illusionist and hunter
Where there are two of me, more of you will surely suffer
Vicious bestial grin
Undulating limbs
To rend
Apex predator prowls the night
Hulking brute of adumbral might
I am more than
Two by two in rows
I’m on you baby… comin’ straight for the throat
From the fey we’ve come
To serve the greater hunt

Hide Mind

Mother dark please guide to guarded secrets
Bladed brothers, mark your targets well
Father night allow us to be shapes among the shadows
Sister silence, keep us quiet, all to hide us, from their prying eyes
Soundless, shaded, set the bait and
Ready for the strike
Sink the blade in, slink away then
Back into the listless night
We demand unflinching hands
A vorpal mind
Our guild will ever thrive through time
We move as one
Lay low
We’re everything that you don’t know
Stay low
As above and so below
Lay low
Through furtive channels, power flows
Stay low
Trust in your instinct, faith is your knife
We do not need our vision
To see the truths you would belie
So don't lie….
Cause we know
And we’ll find
We move as one

Mage Lust
02:19
|
|||
|
Tell me of your ancient sorcery
Of the whispered word and secrecy
Forever I have always longed
To wield the power of the gods
Mage lust, a hunger grown
From dust and rotting bone
Phylactery keep me from dying
So that I might consume the light

Mirror Image
03:25
|
|||
|
Never met a mirror image that I didn't despise
For all the asymmetric imperfections therein lie
They lack with a jealous zeal
Hard facts rarely garner appeal
And just the same, I’ve never known a fool for being wise
Don't get it started while being so broken hearted, love
Conjure your image with confidence
Just cast and shape it in absence of any hatred, ‘cause
In time it will come
Ever the effervescent gestures of our kind
End up in being just another million broken lives
Step back, none of this is real
Stand firm and resolve to heal
I know you hear me and this time you won't deny my cries

Spell Shaker
02:48
|

|
Blessed by your fire
I get so lost in your crystalline eyes
Bewitching baby
Sweet arcane lady
Ephemeral delight
Dancing in the lights
I gotta tell you now
You got me in a hold
Stuck on contingency
Sword and sorcery
Couldn’t ever keep
Me from chasing dreams
Enchanted by potentiality
Prepared to give the days away
The breath of life lies gently on your name
I'd follow you into your grave
I will always be
Anything you need
You just need but speak
Give your love to me

Something So Familiar
03:07
|
|||
|
Raise up to the good times, girl
We're runnin’ low on time
I want our lust
To last throughout this night
But as we lay our bodies down upon the furs and hides
You cried out in terror as the bed consumed your life
Concealed in the lightless tomb
And creeping towards the shine
The glint of those golden coins has surely caught my eye
But as I open up the chest it's teeth are sharp as knives
Hindsight is looking good right now, curse my greedy mind
Beware of the things you want, cause they might want you more, a killer likeness to the core
I'd advise to question everything you've ever known, or else you might end up devoured by the door

The Eyes Have It
03:38
|
|||
|
The fire, the fear, the charm in your eyes
Speech so deep could leave you paralyzed
Monstrous hatred, perniciously vile
Aberrant tyrant ain’t for bein’ kind
So much to kill and so little time
I wonder about the split in your mind
The manner of creation begetting your line
Marvelous wonder with a deathly smile
Aberrant tyrant ain’t for bein’ kind
So much to kill and so little time
None who stand before them had a chance
Leave before your flesh begins to melt
Eyes are everywhere inside your mind
Extinction of the lesser kinds
Woe, Great Mother
We're all prey
In the eyes of the beholder, baby
It’s growin’ colder baby, under these rays

High Fantasy
03:14
|
|||
|
We stand before an ancient thing
The sand now coils at our feet
Breaching the skeins of the predators, so powerfully weak, so to speak
They hold the truth that we seek
A flare explodes in blinding light
The air sparks heat amidst the fight of our lives
Terrain erodes as we hold onto to what we can keep, so to speak
And our truth is in reach
Skies splintering
Eyes opening
Lives flourishing
High fantasy

Catchy and surreal heavy "fantasy" metal with unique clean vocals, unfortunately I find myself only enjoying a select few tracks on each of the two full length releases so far. Save your doe and buy the song/s that you know you like is my solid recommendation.

III: Pentecost
by Wytch Hazel
supported by 83 fans who also own “High Fantasy”
This is the first album I've heard by Wytch Hazel and I instantly fell in love with it. The songwriting is top notch and the production is stunning. This album sounds like it's from a bygone era, it doesn't feel forced or gimmicky...its just classic sounding in that timeless way Dio era Rainbow sounds or classic BöC etc. Beautiful, epic, soaring, majestic... I love it!
