PKMetal All kinds of genre-mixing with power metal is common these days, but you know what you don't see? Straight-up bombastic Euro fantasy power metal done with only harsh vocals. "Oh, you mean it's blackened power metal?" Nope, just literally Rhapsody with growls. What a simple idea, and these guys do it to perfection. I wouldn't have thought it could work this well. What a nice surprise!

NOTE: The above ignores the track Ruins of Arcadia, which is purely standard fare I hope they avoid in future!

Forever bound, to walk the fields Of solitude and pain Within myself, I’ve buried All fears and regrets Tyrants come and worlds are falling Centuries are going by Still, we hear gods calling Death and glory! War is nigh! Now lost and cursed Battle scars, tears of blood Bound to roam the eternal path of death! In frost, my heart lies In rain, I spilled my last tears Death and glory! War is nigh! Chorus: I bear the curse of thousand years The one of undying kind To never return, from where I came Where last rays of Sun lie And my home awaits For my soul!
2.
One quest, one warrior My sword, and eternal thirst for blood I am the last of my kind The all-seeing of the night I live between the worlds In pain, I wander through the void Chorus: In the land of dragons Where legends come to life! In the land of magic Where legends come to life! One quest, one warrior My sword, and eternal thirst for blood I am the last of my kind The all-seeing of the night I live between the worlds In pain, I wander through the void Chorus x2: In the land of dragons Where legends come to life! In the land of magic Where legends come to life! Mountains crumbled as the battle was fought A wise dragon met his death But his spirit remained and inhabited my soul
3.
Caves, grim and dark I chase to kill The serpent of the night Poison, spraying from his mouth His teeth, sharp as knives! The single horn raised to the black skies Will the battle rage forever? Old Hatred in his eyes Lust for revenge will be his demise The earth trembles As our battle rages on Screams of agony I’m covered in his blood! Chorus: My sword shines like fire Dragon soul (In my eyes) I strike as never before He hears my battle cry! Caves, grim and dark I run, chasing the light As the serpent lies behind Dead and defeated The victory was mine! The single horn raised to the black skies Will the battle rage forever? Old Hatred in his eyes Lust for revenge will be his demise The earth trembles As our battle rages on Screams of agony I’m covered in his blood! Chorus 2: Now the legend speaks a tale Old as time When a giant serpent fell By the sword in my hand!
4.
The Warrior’s path To die this way In death I find victory Now, when it all comes to an end I know. The blood and the tears were not in vain For today, this world ends, and a new one awaits! When the battle ends Mountains will crumble And our enemies will become Ashes Rise from the legends O sweet death guide me And I shall ascend I’ll never be what others seek I’ll never kneel! Stepping through a cosmic gate Shattering time and space Though we are far away We draw closer each lost day To eternity, we march! Beyond legends, beyond moon and sun We sail, by the rivers of blood Magic, spell, and sorcery Remain in my heart For eternity I will fight I will never die! When the battle ends Mountains will crumble And our enemies will become Ashes Rise! From the legends! Death guide me, and I shall ascend Chaos will reign! I served, and I will serve But now I rest In the land where dragons roam the skies For that is where my heart is I will never stray from my path The warrior’s path!
5.
In the far horizon We're to find our bliss Our home to miss We're to saddle our souls As we ride to fate The affliction waits Hopeless, Endless Our might is what keeps us alive Damn us, Betray us We're still meant to Ride to the heavens And all the faces of reality All bend to us, to our archery The battles ahead so great As we ride to fate The affliction waits Chorus: The clouds are greying as the wind blows The cursed rains are set to plague us To Arcadia's path, we're marching Striding on for eternity

about

On the far north of the grand Continent, lies the vast kingdoms of Arcadia, where in the past during the glorious days of the Empire, the High Wizards held their reign. Arcadian kingdoms were known far and wide, and almost every race and nation of the Continent has heard of its great glory and fame. Tales of high towers covered in silver, rich streets with many people, a smell of magic in the air, and old Dragons from the north guarding the skies above. But the most famous story is the one of the Order of Arcadian Soldiers, the special breed of knights that everyone has heard of, but no one saw. Warriors who embarked on the most dangerous tasks, battles, and quests all in the service of the High Wizards. Nobody knew exactly how many of them were, but it is said in an ancient prophecy that one of them will lead a final battle against an evil entity when the time is right.

Centuries passed, and the kingdom stood strong, but darkness is always lurking.
The High Wizards made a pact with the Dark god, who corrupted their old minds, and through them began his reign of terror. He was scared of the prophecy that said that one Arcadian warrior will be His demise, so he began destroying the whole Arcadian kingdom.

These days, as time has passed, the tales turned into myths and legends, but still somewhere on the lost roads of the wide Continent, a story is told. Not so often some traveling bard or some old merchant sitting by the fire will start a long-forgotten story…

“Once, during the early ages of the Continent, a special order of warriors existed, assembled by the High Wizards, masters of sorcery.
The order consisted of a number of soldiers, gifted individuals who were able to defend the kingdoms from the ancient creatures of the night, who were a threat to common people. The warriors were granted powerful spells and weapons, and followed the orders of the High Wizards, destroying and killing everything they were told.
But a time came when it was found that the Wizards were indeed corrupted by the ancient dark deity, killing and torturing people and other creatures for their blood and souls. The order of Arcadian soldiers fought the wizards. The battle was fierce, and the whole kingdom of Arcadia was engulfed by spells and flames. The earth crumbled and all strongholds were destroyed. At last, the order was winning, they had pushed the wizards into a dead end, and began slaughtering them for what they have done. But the last wizard, on his dying breath, casted a great dark spell, causing massive fire to consume them all. They all perished, or so it seemed.
The one has survived, the last living warrior of the Arcadian empire. He has sworn to serve only himself, but his biggest battle is yet to be won. He was only a child when he was recruited. His home lies far away behind the White Mountains. He embarks on a long journey and wanders the lands known and unknown. The path will lead him through magickal lands of dragons and sorcery, where his powers and wisdom are tested.
He roams through forests and hills, lost and cursed to never find his way home, where he can rest his soul and bury his sword. But destiny has other plans. This is only the beginning of his journey, the journey of the last Arcadian warrior.”
