Grendel's Sÿster More '85 than '85 itself, this record still sounds unbelievably fresh, sparkling with fistraising sing-along parts and gloriously arcane oddities. Favorite track: Lucia, Warrior Of Light.

paul rote Very solid classic metal . Hints of Nwobhm, early USA metal , even European metal . It’s all here . Favorite track: Witchman, Sorcerer Of Satan.

Schwermetallisch Reviews catchy earcandy cheesefest in a Manowar meets Steel Panther but better kind of way Favorite track: Death Is Near.

Henrik Thøgersen Look at that cover art. Yes, this is early 80s metal homage, but holy hell if these guys don’t take it to another level! Strong catchy melodies are borne aloft by soaring clean vocals, original killer riffs, and rock solid grooves. And with lyrics about death, Satan, and sorcery I can ask for nothing more. All hail Sandstorm! Favorite track: Witchman, Sorcerer Of Satan.

Something’s got a hold of me driving me insane Living in the shadows of endless pain I know my days are numbered I know that death is near Still i go out fighting cause i have no fear In the night, stay alive In the night, slay the light Somewhere from the darkness Voices speak to me Giving me the strength to find the master key Open up the gates of hell Going down the devils dell Face the evil demons of my fears Deadly silence Is all you hear When Death is Near Death is Near Visions of my future and past appears They’re coming from my heart When Death is Near Fire strikes like lightning Burning in my veins Can’t escape the madness of this evil maze Death around each corner Whispers in my ear Can not run Can not hide Must draw my steel In the night, stay alive In the night, slay the light When Death is Near Death is Near Visions of my future and past appears They’re coming from my heart When Death is Near Something’s got a hold of me driving me insane Living in the shadows of endless pain I know my days are numbered I know that death is near Still i go out fighting cause i have no fear In the night, stay alive In the night, slay the light When Death is Near Death is Near Visions of my future and past appears They’re coming from my heart When Death is Near

I was born and raised by whips and chains in the early days I was taught know my place With cold steel around my feet, do as i’m told and never speak I could not speak Behind closed doors, imprisoned all day Never to see the sun But at night when the moon light hits my face My inner demon screams in rage I was torn and slayed by axe and blade in the later days I was done with all the pain With my rage i ripped the chains Could not run, had to stay To make them pay In the moonlight when midnight hour came No whips or chains were heard A flash of steel reflected by the moon Screams were piercing through the night Whips and chains driving you insane Whips and chains now you’ve learned two can play this game Whips and chains driving you insane Whips and chains now you’ve learned two can play this game

See the sign of the witchman Omen in the sky You have broken the contract Only get one try Moment of silence, time to die See the eyes of the witchman Glowing in the night Feel the chill of his breath Blood turns to ice Moment of silence, time to die Feel the fury of the witchman Black magic spells The darkest of witchcraft Straight out of hell It’s with blood you pay when you fail the deal Sorcerer of Satan Coming for your life Sorcerer of Satan Coming for your life See the eyes of the witchman Glowing in the night Feel the chill of his breath Blood turns to ice It’s with blood you pay when you fail the deal Sorcerer of Satan Coming for your life Sorcerer of Satan Coming for your life Sorcerer of Satan Witchman will fly on this walpurgis night There’s no escape from his satanic rite He makes the skin fall off your bones Rotting flesh, a living ghost See the sign of the witchman Omen in the sky You have broken the contract Only get one try Moment of silence, time to dien

Denizen of hell No matter who you are or where you’re from I wanna know where does your soul belong If there’s a heaven or a hell below I wanna know where do you want to go The gates are always open down below When you’re ready to decide Denizen, denizen of hell Denizen, evil from hell Denizen, denizen of hell Denizen, of hell No matter who you are or where you’re from I gotta know where does your soul belong If there’s a heaven or a hell below I wanna know where do you want to go Denizen, denizen of hell Denizen, evil from hell Denizen, denizen of hell Denizen, of hell Denizen, denizen of hell Denizen, evil from hell Denizen, denizen, denizen of hell Denizen, evil from hell Denizen, denizen of hell Denizen, of hell

I’m going out, tonight is the hell night Gonna give it up, I’m going to give’r It’s a long night so hold on tight Cause when the hammer strikes You realize that you’re destined to go down in this war In the meantime I don’t know what it’s for but i’m sure Gonna get another glass or more The battle hymn is gonna reach you Shot to kill The oath is sacred so kneel You, a hell knight born to rule This night of black and brew You, a hell knight born to rule All hail the crew Who live a hell night through I’m going out, tonight is the hell night Gonna give it up, I’m going to give’r It’s a long night so hold on tight Cause when the hell night calls Setts it of for a journey to the end of the dawn In the meantime I don’t know what it’s for but i’m sure Gonna get another glass or more The battle hymn is gonna reach you Shot to kill The oath is sacred so kneel You, a hell knight born to rule This night of black and brew You, a hell knight born to rule All hail the crew Who live a hell night through In to the night and through the dawn For those who ride hell night is upon You, a hell knight born to rule This night of black and brew You, a hell knight born to rule All hail the crew Who live a hell night through

I was up before the dawn Waiting for the light of the sun to be born I was waiting for them all Watching the shadows up on the wall This is the time The moment has come to strike These are the lights That reveals in the darkest hour The day of darkness has begun She gives us power to carry on Warrior of light and gold Slaying the night with her blazing sword This is the time The moment has come to strike These are the lights That reveals in the darkest hour Lucias lights burning bright I don’t know whats cooking but i sure want a bite In the misty morning i hear the sirens call My spirit is rising for the bright shining star Bright shining star Warrior of light and gold Slaying the night with her blazing sword Lucias lights burning bright I don’t know whats cooking but i sure want a bite In the misty morning i hear the sirens call My spirit is rising for the bright shining star Lucias lights burning bright I don’t know whats cooking but i sure want a bite In the misty morning i hear the sirens call My spirit is rising for the bright shining star I was up before the dawn Waiting for the light of the sun to be born
