This is one kick ass band! FATES FOREVER! 

FUCKING EH! After months of Johan totally nagging Tommi's butt of with the pleas to record this, Tommi did! He fucking mastered it. All instruments beautifully played by our man of the hour, Tommi Mäkelä. I hope Dave Mustaine doesn't hear this and steal him away from me. 

Johan sang this, and loved it. He even goes about saying that he thinks "It's our greatest cover", and maybe it is. 

ANYWAY, enjoy!

Lyrics:
Lighting the torches
we gather now
Its time to rid of the plague
We meet in the meadow
in the dark woods tonight
its time to drive them away

For years they have cursed us
Conspiring against
Eating our sons and our land
Conjuring the darkness
Demons appear
This night our fires they fear

Screaming witches
Burn through the night
Ashes blow to the sky
Some try to run
but our fires burn hot
Cleansing the witch to the soul

As they cower in pain
Scorched on the ground
We sever the heads of them all
Through purification
we rid of the curse
As we nail the heads to the wall

Chorus: 
Fire!
Purify!
Fire!
Trapped inside
Fire!
Lift the curse
Purification by 
Fire!
Purify!
Fire!
Trapped inside
Fire!
Lift the curse
Purification by fire!

As the flames starts to dim
and the smoke start to clear
A greater evil appear
The great Belzebub wants to claim his revenge
Cause we killed the very last wench

He claims from us daughters
sons and their souls
To forever burn in the void
And the curse is not lifted
All hope is gone
The demons claiming my son

Metal Blade Records history by Dan Slessor:
Founded upon owner Brian Slagel's enduring drive to find great bands and get their music out to as many people as possible, since 1982 Metal Blade has brought wave after wave of powerful, innovative, and often genre-defining music to the ever-hungry metal masses. It is this ethos that has seen Metal Blade build up a stunning and diverse catalogue, weather the various storms facing any independent label, and in an age of declining record sales boast the most successful years of its existence as it strides into its fourth decade.

What perhaps makes this achievement all the more notable is the fact that Slagel never even intended to start a label. Working in an LA record store and writing for various publications, Slagel was acutely aware that many great bands in the local metal scene were being ignored, and he decided to release a compilation of tracks drawn from these ranks. "There were a lot of really good bands and I was just bummed out that nobody could hear them. It just seemed like I could help them out and have some fun at the same time, and that compilation was the first Metal Massacre," he states. Collating tracks from then unknown bands including Ratt, Bitch, Cirith Ungol, and Metallica amongst others, the compilation sold out immediately. "How important is Metal Blade to our career? They're only the reason we are enjoying the worldwide success we have today," states Metallica's James Hetfield. "Without Brian's openness to some raunchy teens with a crap sounding cassette tape we would be who knows where, and playing who knows what!" With the popularity of the tape spurring Slagel on, the first seeds of Metal Blade were sown. "After the success of those compilations I just started putting out records of bands that I was friends with, but without ever really intending it to be a label at all," he explains. "After I put out four or five releases I started to feel like something was happening, and I decided to quit the record store and quit college and see where it went."

Battling through the first few lean years, when the label consisted solely of Slagel working out of his mom's poorly ventilated garage in the San Fernando Valley, it gradually grew in both revenue and stature. Within a few years Metal Blade would go on to release the debuts of Slayer, Armored Saint, Trouble, and Corrosion Of Conformity amongst others, fanning the flames of the burgeoning metal scene and launching careers of bands that would go onto reap global success. "Without Metal Blade, there is a damn good chance we never would've made it out of L.A," says Slayer's Kerry King. "That was the one bit of luck we needed. You can be the most awesome band on the scene, and if no one notices you, you don't catch on. And Brian Slagel is still one of the biggest metalheads I know!" This genuine love and devotion to metal is central to the relationship many of the artists have with Metal Blade, and King Diamond credits much of its relevance and strength to this passion. "I refer to it as having 'boots on the ground'," the mighty Dane states. "It's not like a major label where some people might be into what you're doing but a lot of them just see it as a job – there's a genuine love for metal there. Through staying true to that and doing their own thing they've carved out a very specific niche that they control, and as an artist it's wonderful to be a part of that."over the years. Clearly without those people we couldn't do what we do, and to everyone out there who has helped us along by being a fan we are so very grateful to you."
