Writhing Red

A carousel battleground
I fear chaos abounds
And when I wake
I’ve souls to take
For they stand in my way
With just one smoking gun
See all that I’ve undone
Only go where I am led
The tendrils of the writhing red
Once the life is all but bled
For you, the last of hope I will shred
War and greed
The scheming seed
Shattering the highest creed
With all my days
I would repay
Power won’t fade away
With just one smoking gun
See all that I’ve undone
Only go where I am led
The tendrils of the writhing red
Once the life is all but bled
For you, the last of hope I will shred
Empire of the bold
To the highest bidder sold
Typical fall from grace
Only go where I am led
The tendrils of the writhing red
Once the life is all but bled
For you, the last of hope I will shred

Ironbound
Bring the whole world crashing down
Torn apart
Revolution after dark
Through the mists and ash
Living gods of the past
And live in everlast
Oh, ironbound
She’s terrified
Stealing through the night
Key to turn the tide
With a power inside
Potential crushed
Safety found in darkness and distrust
Burning bridges reduced to dust
Commanding magic in gold
Pushing and pulling and becoming bold
Ironbound
Bring the whole world crashing down
Torn apart
Revolution after dark
Through the mists and ash
Living gods of the past
And live in everlast
Oh, ironbound
Riches and rage
Gilded in their cage
Caper for the age
Play a spy on the stage
Drink from the well
And you’ll fall under their spell
A match made in hell
Commanding magic in gold
Pushing and pulling and becoming bold
Ironbound
Bring the whole world crashing down
Torn apart
Revolution after dark
Through the mists and ash
Living gods of the past
And live in everlast
Oh, iron
Ironbound
Bring the whole world crashing down
Torn apart
Revolution after dark
Through the mists and ash
Living gods of the past
And live in everlast
Oh, iron
Within us
This power
Within her
Will lead us through

The inexorable hunger for more
Rewards those who can cast aside their humanity
Deceiving words, I yearn to command
Harbinger mine, fleeting time
Shadowdancer
Forgiveness echoes empty, it only brings me down
Darkness defined
I only asked that you would not let me drown
Low ember
Answers to splendor
Look to your soul and find it hollow
Leaves anger to follow
Shadowdancer
Forgiveness is a virtue but I condemn myself
Darkness defined
The hate we cannot undo inside me dwells
Shadowdancer
Darkness defined
Sick with glory
Raging fire
Break the martyrs and the liars
God of fury!
With the flame all aglow, all aglow
Eyes like a carrion crow
Rivers that overflow, overflow
Stay in your shadow
In your shadow

Times of Obscene Evil and Wild Daring
by Smoulder
supported by 21 fans who also own “Alter”
If Elric had a soundtrack it would be this. It's everything you want from a epic metal album. Like a hot poker in the eye, but in a good way.

So I can't leave a long enough review to say everything I want. But I will say this, I love this EP. It's a great little follow up to times, and has just enough of a dynamic shift in sound to prove that Smoulder isn't a one trick pony with their first album's formula. This one really plays up the 70s prog aspects (DUST and Manilla Road influences definitely shine through even harder here). It's still Smoulder, don't get me wrong. Just a different side in some ways, all of which are good.
