Legio Draconis Some propper raw black metal from Romania. No other words needed. Just pure atmosphere with a good wine and a rainy day.
Favorite track: Vestibulul Astral.

Gabriel Tamas Finally, Romania manages to produce another worthy Black Metal band. No nonsense, no silly attitude, no tired tropes - just pure Black Metal, channeling the unforgiving ways of the genre's origins, back in the 90's. The vocals and guitars are the strong point of this project, managing to encompass all that is majestic and alluring in Black Metal. Glad to hear this in these wretched years! Keep the flame burning! Favorite track: Plânsul Unei Stafii.

1.
Lying in the dark Unclad, as the fog Fills the black trees Cold escaping through the damp earth Gnawing away Haunting silhouettes Swept in black Leering under the gibbous moon Oh, stygian figures Lying in the interstice Not alive nor dead The shadows approach To ascend me Under thunderous sky and gibbous moon I now make my flight Towards the dark sea Home of the new lords Home of the new lords There is so much that we have yet Yet to see Held by the blinding church Under lock and key Lords of the deep stygian sea Cure us of our beastly idiocy
2.
Cast away and forgotten Imperfect beings of light Exiled forever to despair Our Elven descent Locked away by our kin We were not right Our orcish sickness too cold Oh, how I’ve grown To despise the Light And embrace the Dark One day We’ll take back Lorien Under cover of Night Fueled by the Dark We’ll snuff out The Age of Elves And usher in The age of Orc

This whaling village Its people were cursed With endless thirst When the waning moon hung low They all turned Their skins greenish and translucent Their bodies covered with scales Their toes and hands webbed Their necks developed gills Their backs fins Their teeth sharp as needles Their brains filled with eyes At last Sorcerers arrived in Arkha To search the villagers for eyes and brains Scratching their skulls for eyes Oh, the forbidden arcane Brewing the ingredients in cauldron Like filthy witches They recited the words of the spell All lusting in their hearts For the power of the Great Ones They consumed their potions Waiting for their ascension Yet their vessels crumbled Under the power of the Great Ones

[Romanian - original]: În amurgul morții mele Străbat Meleaguri sterpe Fără esență Păduri uscate Fără magie Ape secate Fără cântec Văi de mult pustii Fără pericol Lumină malefică Și perfidă Mai bine că am murit In sfârșit Voi pleca Însă lumina va păli Iar porțile se vor deschide În curând [English - translation]: In the dusk of my death I wander Bare plains Without essence Dead forests Without magic Dried waters Without song Valleys empty since long ago Without danger Evil light And deceitful (perfid = disguising itself as something good) Better that I'm dead Finally I will leave But the light will fade away And the gates will open Soon

I wander alone, Wielding a Greatsword, Like a large hunk of metal, That absorbs the filth Which I cleanse Every bloody night. From every forest and valley Village and town. Mad men, beasts, and apostles, Cut down by my sword, With ease. The 100-man slayer, Knowing no sorceries No magic Only the way of the sword I bear the mark of sacrifice Destined to be preyed upon By all beasts of the Eclipse That roam under the night skies Foolish bloody vermin Come forth Come forth to your demise Tormented by voices Endlessly I hunt alone in the night Seeking for apostles That shall lead me to The hawk of light That ushered in the Eclipse The one that took away past and chance The cause of my eternal struggle
8.
On our journey across the Fog Hopelessly immense and vast The light licks our souls Our hopeless decrepit souls The fog whispers and flaunts Unattained desires and dreams Impenetrable mist hiding The Tower beyond the Fog That shrines the Light Twisting and churning reality Purveyor of our false Hopes and dreams Do not let yourself seduced Our true journey lies far beyond To the stars Hail Hail to the Stars Hail to the Moon Hail to the Dark Hail to the Impure Hail to the Shadow On our journey beyond the Fog So perilous and bleak Yet rewarding forever more Uncover the secrets And whispers of The Tower beyond Abolish the Light Cast it far away Do not tremble in front Of its fleshy delights Our true journey lies far beyond To the stars.
