Warangelic Great symphonic melodic death metal band that reminds me of the whole Scandinavian sound. Stellar work.

And the album comes with the orchestral version of the tracks. How awesome can you get? Favorite track: Path to the Sky.

I feel the wind upon my cheeks. Malicious and cold, like the deed. I could keep on moving, but I'm getting nowhere. I look back at myself and kick the despair. Nothing Left For me Nothing Left Nothing left for me Taken from I've lost myself within the light. Cadaverous past holds me tight. I could keep on running, but it hauls me closers. So, let's kick it back, and chase it away. Within the dawn of ambience, it comes back More alive than ever before! Push it away you can face it alone (Alone) Alone! I feel the wind upon my cheeks. Malicious and cold, like the deed. I could keep on moving, but I'm getting nowhere. I look back at myself, and kick the despair. Nothing Left For me Nothing Left Nothing left for me Taken from

Far along this path A shadow eclipses my callous heart It dwells upon my soul, and goes where no man knows Inside it’s twisting and burning It’s shivering and turning me, to give up this fight, the fight of my life It won’t give up, It’ll never fall It’s my time to die as I walk the path! Path to the sky! I!.. I walk the path unknown, through stars all alone Searching for morning sun, that’ll never come Along this path, I stray, As forests turn to grey Forsaken by misery, as I walk the path to the… Stars begin to fade My path is wearing thin The flame starts to dowse Upon the pouring rain Like the mist that shrouds the moonlit sky I’m enticed by the beauty that takes my life The wind sings a lustful dying rhyme For it has nearly come my time! No warming sun, No stars to gleam A dark grey sky, for me to dream No remorse, nor Sympathy Amongst the clouds A tempting light is simply luring me So shine shine shine so fucking bright! Path to the sky! I!.. I walk the path unknown, through stars all alone Searching for the morning sun, that’ll never come Along this path, I stray, As forests turn to grey Forsaken by misery, as I walk the path to the sky! Path to the sky

Walking towards the dusk in the forests, in sight of silvery birch, as the wind begins to howl. Towering the remains of all hope with rope, yearning to fly once again, to conquer my own despair. The sky now howl's my name... Stars begin to fade.. ...as dusk rapes the light Fuck! the wreathe begins to... In the morning of the mourning, dear sorrow my only friend, you've come back to dwell once again! I raise my hands towards the sky, prayer to a lord I deny. "Why won't you let me die?" I'm on this path, towards the... -End!~ Lost and lonely spirit, it strives towards the End Far beyond the blight where all is gone, all lost in song. Towards the end, the mournful sight of my life. I'm on this path, towards the... -End!~ Lost and lonely spirit, it strives towards the... ~End

Who's that bastard that's inside me? Do I even wanna know? Another lunatic with outa' tune emotions. Forget me now, but you are mine! ‘I am the one who seeks solitude in darkness’ The moments that keep passing are getting darker, and more deadly. How long will it be till they take me? Who the hell are you? Why are you always there? Waiting in the shadows Always bound to reappear. Fuck me, hurt me. Oh, come on, take my life! Kill me, Rape me. But, you'll never take me! *Silence you feeble being* Dark within- -Within thy own kingdom A shrine to shades Reverent of bitter-sweet past. They'll return ...and with no a-tone Reminiscent ...Of the darkest times Darkness blinding, inner binding, Shades arising, Woah! So, who's that bastard that's inside me? Do I even wanna know? Another lunatic with outa' tune emotions. Forget me now, but you are mine!

Olen se joka on epäonnistunut elämässä Arvoton, vihattu ja ikuisesti helvetissä Suruni kalmaa kylmemmin viiltää Eikö kukaan kuule huutoani? Minun huutoani! Peloissani, yksin ja eksynyt maailmaan Kaikki mihin kurkotan kuolee -kosketuksestani Miksi satutan yhä uudelleen? Yritän auttaa mutta tuska vain pahenee Vihani on kyltymätön Kuolemanpyörä, elämän hauta Miksi haluan kuolla? Mikä houkuttelee minut kalman polulle? Arvet jotka lihaani koristavat Kuolemanpyörä, elämän hauta

Hear~ Chimes of the mourning from the sky Calls from heaven from which life denied Oh, Women, Children and fathers too What kind of world were we born into? Cladded clouds, their kingdom-come from of which they dwell They sing their songs of an illustrious, harmonious, Seduction till the end. Until we are tempted to their life beyond the grave So it has been written in your life’s Tapestry! A deadly sin, a deadly Hymn To stop your silent beating Heart.. So, hear the bells of the Hymn of temptation Restless souls from above Our final call from our salvation A lullaby from the skies

Perish Song 04:13
Hear the symphony of my sympathy A symphonic suicide, ready to entwine My Subtle poem of lusted misery A Melancholic Melody, summoning me So, here I am to spill my wine, watch my veins as I run them dry. Harmony- Calling from the sky For my spirit to be free, I follow these symphonies One for sorrow, one for soul, guide me home my perish song Hear the symphony of my sympathy Seduced by beauty, before I perish away So, here I am to spill my wine, watch my veins as I run them dry. Harmony- Calling from the sky For my spirit to be free, I follow these symphonies One for sorrow, one for soul, guide me home my perish song

Wither Away 05:43
I feel myself deteriorate round them all. Not a sign of sorrow, no sign at all. Harmonious crossfire into the storm. Plea of forgiveness, before bells toll. Whispers are now howling, as winds fall harsh upon my sadness. Sorrowful in my downfall, I feel my warmth slowly wither away. Amidst the haze, I'll atone. Staring into mist, silently I groan. Divided, reminiscing about your own- desire of a kingdom come. Wither Away Wither Away Wither Away Wither Away Whispers are now howling, as winds fall harsh upon my sadness. Sorrowful in my downfall, I feel my warmth slowly wither away.

about

Draugr's Hymns of Temptation combines Orchestral with Melodic Death Metal to create an epic array of sounds with a melancholic feeling.

The sound of this album could be explained as; An epic touch on a powerful, yet a sorrowful combination of aggressive music with the influence of a tamed melodic nature within each song.

Influenced by bands such as Kalmah, Wintersun, Children of Bodom and In Flames to name a few. This album is definitely a mass production for fans of Symphonic, Melodic and Orchestral metal of all spectrums.

This album was written over the course of years and with over a year of self-production between the band, leading to an album with strong commitment and work put into its creation.

about

Draugr UK

‘Draugr push the limits of music with a combination of Orchestral and Melodic scores with memorable Death Metal-induced riffs. Followed up with a theatrical live performance with personally designed stage outfits and imagery. Uniquely standing out from the crowd, they go beyond the boundaries of what has been defined as Symphonic and Melodic Metal over time.’ ... more
