Heavy metal wings
Shining in the night
Every inch is prepared
For kamikaze flight
The machines are faster
And the bombs are worse
As we're all sucked into
This unholy curse
War is our destiny
There's a thousand armies
Dressed up with nowhere to go
All ready to dance
In the final show
These men aren't bad men
They're like you or me
The only thing that's different
Is their destiny
We both sign treaties
And they always die
Neither side can give us
A good reason why
They're always talking louder
And now we are too
Guess we both bit off
More than we could chew

If Elric had a soundtrack it would be this. It's everything you want from a epic metal album. Like a hot poker in the eye, but in a good way. Scott Malthouse

So I can't leave a long enough review to say everything I want. But I will say this, I love this EP. It's a great little follow up to times, and has just enough of a dynamic shift in sound to prove that Smoulder isn't a one trick pony with their first album's formula. This one really plays up the 70s prog aspects (DUST and Manilla Road influences definitely shine through even harder here). It's still Smoulder, don't get me wrong. Just a different side in some ways, all of which are good. playfulpooka
