sachavonkarl74 Absolutely epic symphonic opus magnum of Finnish outfit Suotana!!! Well-balanced mix of melodic and symphonic death metal, with alternating fast-paced frosty blast beat black metal with lots of variations, alternating vocals and chorus chanting and bombastic orchestra mix of everything... Tasty, without overdoing it, provided you're into that style to begin with. Reminds me of a Swiss band called Rage of Light but Suotana is second to none!! Very Highly Recommended!!! Favorite track: The Ancient.

gebs I was new to this genre of blackened power metal (powered black metal?) and these Finns delivered. Energetic, sharply melodic, and incredibly rewarding. Favorite track: The Ancient.

Intro

SUOTANA - THROUGH THE MAMMOTH VALLEY By the winds force Horizontally blowing snow Made it hard to see But the journey was about to begin And we have a long way to go All the steps in the glacial snow Disappear behind us But don't look back It's meaningless There's no turning back My pack, walk beside me March with me to the mammoth valley Where we used to be Where we used to lie This is the place Where we once died... Oh, can you see? We have returned to our home Where the green trees rise through the snow The land enclosed by the highest hills Guarded us from the outside world For this last time This was all I wanted to show Our time once dried out But still.. I want to believe Many years ago These lands were our home These lakes and rivers We've finally returned to our home By the times force Around the trees, a melting snow Made it hard to live And the new age was about to begin We had a long way to go All the steps in the fading snow Disappear behind us But don't look back We need to live the dream As long as it lasts! My pack, one more time March with me Through the Mammoth Valley

The Ancient 06:50
SUOTANA - THE ANCIENT Above calm river haze fills the air This rainy season, unending The gods of weathers, the immortal ones On their thrones, the whole empire in their hands The rumbling reed, rising fog Increase the wind and the hiding storm When the evil falls down these lands The darkest hand carries us all And the raven flies away Far away from here The ancient storm will soon blow snow On these autumn lands As the leaves from red to yellow Brown to green, 'll be covered by snow Icicles in the eaves Reaching to the ground Cabin's turf roof and log walls The night frost make the trees bark Barking in the night! Carrion stuck in the ground Vultures flying in a circle above The ancient forest of the beasts and the brutes The sparkling white topping made the red blood highlight When the evil falls down these lands The darkest hand carries us all And the raven flies away For the day to return Darkened skies, withering stars Winter defeats eternal fall And the old pike changes region again.. The ancient storm will soon blow snow On these autumn lands As the leaves from red to yellow Brown to green, 'll be covered by snow

Legacy 08:07
SUOTANA - LEGACY All you see here is what we have left For them who'll follow us behind No bird to sing from the highest tree No silver flash at the spawnpit From the bottom of the river From the bottom of my heart Show! Us the land and we shall follow Signs! We were shown a thousand of times Waves from the north! They came and let us drown In our legacy Only by the winds and tales the story will be told Of those who we managed to kill before the end of our own No clatter of colliding skull and horns No owl to huddle from it's coniferous dream The creeping lynx's shadow while the bears roar Just as if they really exist Drainaged forests and swamps Suffocating the streams of life One by one they all will be gone All the dwellers and wanderers Miracles of life Dead by the dawn where the sun no longer rises anymore All the forests that have been cut down Forest spirits, forever lost All the rivers that have been dammed By the great men of greed, together as none You are nothing but a shame for us all The burden of your heirs, the scourge of our time Can you hear the waves? We are standing at the edge of time We are here to shed a tear Before it all vanish away We have waited for you The genuine northern power! I am the waves At the edge of time Show! Us the land and we shall follow Signs! We were shown a thousand of times Waves from the north! They came and let us drown In our legacy This is our legacy..

River Ounas 13:15
SUOTANA - RIVER OUNAS River The stream of life Brings us the hope and faith Carries all of our sorrows away At night the river so sincere The moonlight reflects from its surface So blank and so calm Silence is here waiting for The silver hordes from the downstream We never gave up the hope And we never will The moonlight enlights their path The journey that ends at the estuary gates of vanity Where the lock is sealed by the steel and concrete Where the river banks cry out for emptiness The day will come and the flood That vanishes all the filth and barriers on its way And the chains are past Two streams of kings The forces unite Unite as one to be For the future to know For the future to see We are the future And these rivers will be free Two streams of kings And the hordes from the north Together to execute the justice To increase the powers All the way from the north Let your water flow Break all the chains The time has come My teary eyes A gaze to the riverside To be born into this legacy Where the extinction is A sign of victory Where the egoism and selfishness is A herd's principle A gaze over the river valley Where it all went wrong? We are the one's in need Without we don't exist We were supposed to be sagacious We are the sacrilege instead The concrete walls In the middle of the forestry stream To kill species to extinction Is all as you please But one mystic night I saw all four seasons I heard the waves from the north And I knew... ‘’The beauty of the colors of the leaves that are born and died There was a winterstorm, still moss greenish It all teemed before my eyes The prophecy was finally coming true’’ The day will come and the flood The flood of all times That vanishes all the filth and barriers on its way And the chains are past Two streams of kings The forces unite Unite as one to be For the future to know For the future to see We are the future And these rivers will be free Two streams of kings And the hordes from the north Together to execute the justice To increase the powers All the way from the north Let your water flow Break all the chains The time has come The time has come…now Let the waves in River Ounas calling me To let it be free River Ounas calling me To eternity We've took the advantage of these rivers Without giving anything back Year after year Blindly believing in our purposes Painted the picture like we wanted it to be, no Forced the dwellers to retreat From the villages that drowned River Ounas, a vein of the land Mourns its brothers destiny A villages left under the water Where the gallops and cries can still be heard River Ounas calling me To let it be free River Ounas calling me To eternity River Ounas calling me Let the waves in… ‘’Alavirrasta kohti yläjuoksua Heidän matkansa oli tarkoitus viedä Voimasta ja kunniasta Tuo hopeinen voima jatkoi matkaansa Matkaa joka alkoi tuhansien kilometrien takaa Elämän jano ohjasi heidän kulkuaan Vuosi vuoden jälkeen Näin kului vuosisatoja Sitten saapuivat miehet Vuonna 1949 Pelkomme olivat toteutuneet Kun betoniset portit sulkeutuivat edessämme Onko tämä totta? Sanat kaikuvat vieläkin rannoilla Tämä joki on tehty kyynelistä Ja kyyneleet tulevat virtaamaan’’
