SANDRA.N.696 Always loved @RavenHod and how do they cherish and protect a Norse ideology and mitology.
Brilliant riffs and drumms.
Guttural vocals,deep and mystical as the same atmosphere is.

Arrogant Bastard Norse influenced black metal, is there a more iconic duo?
Raven God craft icebound black metal to honor the ancient Nordic pantheon, regaling the glorious exploits and mischief of the Æsir. This one man black metal project stands out amongst the ranks with polished melodicisms, a frosty guitar tone and riffs conjuring to mind the melodeath genre.
Very well done for a debut! Favorite track: Hanging.

Aaron J. Waters Excellent black metal with echoes of Norse heroism at its best. Definitely essential listening for those who appreciate the more viking works of acts such as Bathory and Graveland. A great job well done. Favorite track: Sent to Hel.

Intro 00:48
2.
Final Son of Loki Raised by the Aesir Fated to devour all Every god now fears Fenrir is too powerful To walk through Asgard free He must be kept close at watch Or he will end humanity Only one is brave enough To approach this foul beast Tyr was his name He will be brought to his knees Odin He will be your end Many tried to restrain him With shackles forged from steel But every chain put round him Cracked to no avail But one was made by the dwarves It's strength could not be matched Surely this would be the chain That would bind him for eternity Once the wolf was bound An could not break loose Tyr’s hand was swallowed Fenrir had been fooled On the day of Ragnarök The beast will escape He will eat mighty Odin whole And seal his grim fate
3.
I stand on the plains Axe within my fist I know my journey will end soon But I will show no fear On this bloodied battlefield As I know my soul will rest In Asgard’s hall In the Hall of the Slain I will live in glory Under the roof of great gold shields I shall drink with the Gods 'Til the end of times Valhall is my destiny I will show no fear I will die a glorious death As my body begins to weaken My soul feels the God’s calling This This is my end The enemy approaches He slices with great steel My journey to the skies Awaits In the Hall of the Slain I will live in glory Under the roof of great gold shields I shall drink with the Gods 'Til the end of times Valhall is my destiny My destiny My destiny

Hanging 03:26
Carers of the mighty tree That holds nine worlds together Controllers of the fate For all who live and all who die Keepers of all destiny They carve the ancient runes Spinning the threads of all time They foresee your every move Dwelling by the roots Of the revered Yggdrasil You are at their mercy Norns, whose blood will spill? All father filled with envy He proves himself to the runes By tying a noose around his neck And gouging out his eye Hanging from the tree He calls out to the runes Nine long days and nights Until the secrets are revealed Future Ending Power Eternity Keepers of all destiny They carve the ancient runes Spinning the threads of all time They foresee your every move Dwelling by the roots Of the revered Yggdrasil You are at their mercy Norns, whose blood will spill?

Outlaw 04:35
I have slain my fellow man This was my last mistake For I am cast out from society And left to rot with the vermin Guilty of such villainy I no longer exist I am thrown into the dirt To be treated like a pig None shall speak my name I am no longer human I shall live my days in solitude On a lonely mountain My back on the forest floor Gazing into the dark sky I am broken, I am beaten Only the ravens hear my cry In a world I don’t belong What is there for me? A pathetic life of seclusion My soul will die empty I must fend for myself In this cold, heartless land I am an outlaw A bottom feeding rat None shall speak my name I am no longer human I shall live my days in solitude On a lonely mountain My back on the forest floor Gazing into the dark sky I am broken, I am beaten Only the ravens hear my cry
6.
On the day the Norns decree The dreaded Fimbulvetr will begin The Sun will fall, the earth shall freeze For 3 long winters Mankind will turn their axe on one another A time of great treachery Fathers and sons put to the sword None shall last It is the Fate of the Gods That the world will die in flames After the Great winter No one will know your name It is the Fate of the Gods That the world will die in flames After the Great winter No one will know your name The one who mocks, and the one who hates Will snatch the sun and moon from the sky Dooming us into eternal darkness Forever Forever It is the Fate of the Gods That the world will die in flames After the Great winter No one will know your name It is the Fate of the Gods That the world will die in flames After the Great winter No one will know your name
7.
Rowing far from land An unrelenting desire To execute the Midgard Serpent My everlasting foe I will complete this fatal deed On the crashing thunderous waves I will destroy Loki’s child Let him rot in the depths Jörmungandr You will perish Fearsome beast Dread the Thunder God By my side is Hymir A terror-stricken giant He knows the snake roams Beneath the icy waters On the end of my line A bull’s head is attached This bait will suffice The sea dragon will be mine He will be mine He will be mine Jörmungandr You will perish Fearsome beast Dread the Thunder God Finally I sense An unmistakable brute force I know I have the serpent On the line I reach for my hammer To strike him through the skull But the foolish coward Hymir Sets him free Jörmungandr You will perish Fearsome beast Dread the Thunder God Dread the Thunder God

Sent to Hel 04:35
He is the son of Odin Adored by all the Gods But, within his dreams His own demise revealed All Father begins to worry What does this vision mean? He must mount steadfast Sleipnir Into the underworld Through the freezing mist He meets one wise Seidr She declares that Baldur Will meet a cruel end Inside Asgard’s walls Panic amongst the Gods Frigg makes all beings Swear a binding oath Beloved Baldur His death is set in stone A merciless, coldblooded Undoing Invincible to all All but one being Sinless mistletoe Prophecy Mischievous Loki Now knows the God's weakness He carves a deadly spear He makes a grave proposal To the blind God Hodr To pierce the mighty Baldur Through the heart As the spear breaks the skin And impales poor Baldur's chest In agony he falls Sent to Hel Beloved Baldur His death is set in stone A merciless, coldblooded Undoing Invincible to all All but one being Sinless mistletoe Prophecy Sent to Hel Sent to Hel
