Battle Of Sudden Flame (Blind Guardian Cover)

The third demo of my EXTREME POWER MELODIC DEATH METAL project. Expect dual guitars from a Children of Bodom and Iron Maiden lover, old school heavy metal and thrash metal riffs and melodic death metal melodies.
This one ups the bpm and get ready for some melodic shred guitar!

SKINTERROR - EXTREME POWER MELODIC DEATH METAL 3

Live version COVER of Blind Guardian "The Bard Song (In The Forest)".  My second recording on proper mic without mix. I putted as folk, but in realty Blind Guardian is a German power metal bend, and song is a single also appearing in album Somewhere Far Beyond.

Der Butzemann, the 'Boogeyman', is dancing / around in our house, / he shakes himself, he shakes himself, / he throws his little sack around...
[from German folklore, Der Butzemann, a faceless goblin, hides in boxes and closets, waiting to frighten children who don't go to sleep]
------
LYRICS:
------
Es tanzt ein Bi-Ba-Butzemann
in unserm Haus herum,
er rüttelt sich, er schüttelt sich,
er wirft sein Säcklein um.

Once upon a time
There was a scared little kid
Hiding in the closets-
Boxes where the Butzemann lived

Darkness filled his mind
With shadows whispering pain
So he closed his eyes
Pretending to be dead

Now that boy’s a man
Who sees the truth in everything
Believing every day in death
The devils in disguise

He hides in plywood coffins
Painted in cyanide
The truth be told-
He sold his soul
For nothing!
Sold his soul for nothing!
Sold his soul for nothing...much!
Nichts geändert!
Nothing much has changed!

Way back, the darkened hallways
Were laced with silent dread
Voices cloaked in shadows
Crawling inside your head

You look so strong
You fight the fight
But deep inside
You’re contrite
Your frame grows thin
Your shoulders cave
You’re halfway in
A shallow grave

Nothing much has changed!
You’re still afraid
Afraid you’re still that kid!
For nothing
Nichts geändert
Nothing much has changed!

Butzemann… Butzemann…
He’s still watching...
Butzemann… Butzemann…
He’s still hunting...

NOTHING!
NOTHING MUCH HAS CHANGED!
NICHTS GEÄNDERT!

Nothing
Nothing much has changed 
You're still afraid 
Afraid you're still that kid 
For nothing 
Nichts geandert
Nothing much has changed

BUTZEMANN | BOOGEYMAN

you... just a small child... Ein lütter Junge... living in a chaotic home filled with monsters, a lair of little beasts... it's your HALLENBRUCHT... your childhood's "Fractured Palace"

LYRICS:
Walking into shade… and light
The palace of shadows unknown

Sun sets beyond the blinds
Cold air bites, it crawls inside
The den’s a jungle, chairs like claws
Every laugh—a predator’s jaws

Night falls…
I don’t belong
The rooms—they move
I can’t reside… in this palace tonight

It’s night here!
It’s nightfall!
I feel—I don’t belong!
In this fractured palace tonight!

The night of the animals rules this domain
Eyes leer from smoke and mirrors
Venom in their laughter, fangs in smiles
Ravens swirl in blackened clouds of fear

I stumble through twisted hallways
Nature of the beast pulls me in
Small and lost, straight into their path
Trapped in claws and teeth again

The night of the animals!
They rule this domain tonight!
Tonight…

Growls are laughs, claws are chairs
Floorboards moan, the ceiling stares
A mouse in the palace den
Caught between lion… and raven again

Trembling under lamplight glow
The party rages, the palace alive
I—just a boy
Hunted by the night of the animals

Shadows curl, teeth flash
Walls move, floors clash
I run, I hide
The fractured palace has me tonight!

Tonight… tonight… tonight…
The palace keeps its secrets
I, small and silent… remember it all

FS Art Metal Projekt (formerly FS PROJEKT) is an independent original fantasy-metal project of Efes (a.k.a. FS) - a Russian composer, arranger, poet, producer, vocalist, guitarist, bassist and drummer.

INDEPENDENT. What really matters for Efes is the integrity of his original creative vision. This vision is totally independent of the tone of the music market or any outside influences whatsoever, as well as free of audience preferences and hip but fleeting trends. FS Art Metal Projekt's songs are created and recorded solely at their author's expense and, thus, on the author's conditions only. In his musical activities Efes has absolutely no obligations to any parties, and this is what allows him to achieve absolute freedom and integrity in his creativity.  

ORIGINAL. Efes has an accomplished original creative vision for both his music, lyrics and artwork, that goes with them. Each FS Art Metal Projekt song is a result of selfless, meticulous and zealous labour in which nothing is left to chance. 

FANTASY-METAL. Fantasy as a genre is the defining concept of FS Art Metal Projekt's songs. However in this case it is to be understood as broadly as possible. FS Art Metal Projekt's songs either draw on themes from certain fantasy universes or are totally independent creative plots presented through fantasy. At the same time in no way does this stylistic concept come down to such notoriously narrow genre as power metal in terms of music and arrangements. 

Date of birth: 19 December 2011
First release: 1 September 2013
Members: apart from Efes, all other musicians, sound engineers and other specialists participate (participated) in FS Art Metal Projekt solely on session and paid basis.

FS Art Metal Projekt (до этого - ФС ПROJEKT) - независимый авторский fantasy-metal проект русского композитора, аранжировщика, поэта, продюсера, гитариста и бас-гитариста Эфеса (отсюда и "FS" в названии проекта).

НЕЗАВИСИМЫЙ. Высшая ценность для Эфеса - целостность его творческого видения, которое не зависит ни от конъюнктуры, ни от какого-либо постороннего или внешнего влияния, ни от пожеланий публики, ни от модных, но скоротечных трендов. Произведения проекта от и до создаются исключительно на средства автора, а, значит, только на его условиях. В своей музыкальной деятельности Эфес не имеет ни перед кем никаких обязательств, и благодаря этому он достигает абсолютной свободы и цельности творчества. 

АВТОРСКИЙ. Эфес обладает законченным авторским видением. Это касается как музыкальной и лирической, так и визуальной составляющих его творчества. Каждая песня - результат фанатичного, скрупулёзного и одержимого труда, который не оставляет ничего на волю случая. 

FANTASY-METAL . Фэнтези как стилистика является определяющей для тематики произведений проекта. Понимается она максимально широко. Сюжеты песен могут касаться как конкретных фэнтези-вселенных, так и представлять собой самостоятельные творческие замыслы, поданные через призму фэнтези-жанра. При этом, такая направленность проекта ни в коей мере не сводит его музыку и аранжировки к весьма узкому жанру power metal. 

Дата образования: 19.12.2011
Первый релиз: 01.09.2013
Состав: кроме Эфеса, все остальные музыканты, звукоинженеры и пр. специалисты участвуют (участвовали) в FS Art Metal Projekt строго на сессионных и возмездных началах.

SINCERE IMPOSTER is an intimate collection of artists exploring a curious mixture of New Wave, Dance, EDM, Folk Rock, Metal, Art Pop, Electro, Dreamwave, and Experimental World Pop. Collectively, this is known as QUIRKPOP — music that pushes the creative limits of traditional pop.

Expect an unpredictable journey through sound, emotion, and humor, where genres collide and pop bends in strange new ways. Each song is conceived, composed, and performed with total sincerity, whether it’s built from voices, instruments, software, or hybrid experimentation. The focus is on the music itself: if it resonates, it resonates. No explanation required.

SINCERE IMPOSTER is curated by two musicians, both living within the same body, sharing a singular existence. They identify as Danielle & Dave. They are both psychologically and musically confused, yet extremely and unapologetically sincere.

Influences range from Weird Al and Nathan Fielder to David Lynch, Rosalia, Monatik, Atarashii Gakko!, Rammstein, T-Pain, and T-Swift. 

Danielle & Dave’s favorite inventions include the vacuum and the peach pitter. Their father is simply known as Vessel… who may be an entity or a god.


Scandinavian metal inspired solo-project by Bjarke Hans Nielsen.
Inspired by: Children of Bodom, Ensiferum, Amorphis, Obscura, Dream Theater and Kalmah.
