l3e0wu1f This is a super fun, energetic concept album that is both an excellent companion in the gym and walking outside in the snowy Montreal winter. Fav tracks are tied between Wanderer for the layered vocals and Tip of the Spear for raw energy. Greatly anticipating their next release. Favorite track: Tip of the Spear.

Arrogant Bastard Firstly, the band name (and artwork!) is amazing and is musically exactly what you'd expect from a band called, North Hammer. Stormcaller harkens to (Jari era) Ensiferium's brand of viking metal, however, they've toned back the folky side and infused a more epic feel.
A solid debut from a group and I'm excited to hear in the future when they've further developed their own sound. Favorite track: Avatar.

Icy wind batters my chest Blinded by white, no time for rest Our feet cannot carry us Further from here, we’ll soon disappear Arcane light Columns of ice Sanctum of Order Visions pass Pass through my eyes One foot forward The end in sight Suffer little farther Stand with me my brothers Deep snow grapples my ankles Marching on and on Withering away in a desolate land Visions of future and past This night will not be my last I will not succumb, succumb to this fate This night will not be my last Visions of future and past I will, will not succumb Succumb to this fate, Bless me with strength Arcane light Columns of ice Sanctum of Order Visions pass Pass through my eyes

Wanderer 03:42
Staring into the night sky Lying awake, another sleepless night Finding yourself so far from home Search for a sign, wherever I may roam Staring into the night sky Lying awake, another sleepless night Chasing the stars too distant shores Ride to the north and never return Frigid waters battering the hull North wind air chilling to the bone Leviathan, will rise again, its skin as strong as stone Until the death, we carry on, for we are not alone Oh Chasing the stars too distant shores Ride to the north and never return Chasing the stars too distant shores Ride to the north and never, never return Faster and faster you stride across the barren plains Ignite this passion within your heart The lion will roar once again Staring into the night sky Lying awake, another sleepless night Chasing the stars too distant shores Ride to the north and never return Soldier of an unknown cause The strength you find within is lost A former shadow of yourself Occupies this vessel now

A worn torn man, written in the stars Would save this land, from terror and from war A savage horde is rising in the shadows Warriors of chaos gather by the thousands Oh He'll save us From savagery and war Gods Champion From the destruction of the horde Repentance For those against the king Swift Justice Of its glory we will sing He'll save us From savagery and war Gods Champion From the destruction of the horde Repentance For those against the king Swift Justice Of its glory we will sing Instill in me The power To set them free A worn torn man, written in the stars Half man half deity reserved in his piety A lyre of fate harks at the strings Singing songs victory and his Valkyric wings

Magic Mead 04:11
Soilent earth sewn with blood The enemy lays in the mud A victory not to forget And celebrate the worthy dead In his eyes unrest subsides For dreams of destiny he strides Through the day and through the night to behold this astral sight White enchantress Tell me your secrets Follow me Follow me and you will see Hold your hands to the sky May we drink the rivers dry For tonight a tyrant died Celebrate into the night Glorious was his defeat Though fate is still calling me And on her lyre she calls sings name Motioning me this way Unsatisfied by his defeat And in the mead i begin to see A Fair lass below the crest Dancing in the forest Oh enchantress Source of my unrest Dancing with the stars divine Bearer of Odin’s sign It’s all in my head Tainted mead or stale bread My ears and eyes Are telling me lies Soon to be My demise But could it be The all father spoke to me Valkyries and deities Ravens perched in the trees Dead and gone! Victory songs! Until the dawn! We carry on! But the real war has just Begun
5.
Brothers of war! Our courage has been forged! They are the anvil on which our hammer strikes! Our spears will shatter their will! The mountain shall hear our song of victory! The gods have ordained their death Yea! Song of the hammer roars from our throats Joining our fathers with mind and of souls Lightning crashing upon the field Sparks will fly from glinting steel Song of the hammer roars from our throats Joining our fathers with mind and of souls The spears are drawn at the gleam of dawn Tonight we battle on Iron Forged, Out of Darkness Sun Guides our way At the Tip of the Spear Iron Forged, Out of Darkness Sun Guides our way At the Tip of the Spear Sky, to reach up high Cry, to the mountain’s peak Hall, of winter’s fall Shall see the sun again Sky, to reach up high Cry, to the mountain’s peak Hall, of winter’s fall Shall see the sun again Iron Forged, Out of Darkness Sun Guides our way At the Tip of the Spear Song of the hammer roars from our throats Joining our fathers with mind and of souls Lightning crashing upon the field Sparks will fly from glinting steel Song of the hammer roars from our throats Joining our fathers with mind and of souls The spears are drawn at the gleam of dawn Tonight we battle on

The breaking of dawn A new day, of glorious battle Where legends are made Warriors gathering and shields are battering With the thirst for vengeance Against this mad tyrant Warriors We fight in his honour Onward, we lay down our lives Warriors We fight in his honour Oh great god, embodies the earth and the sky Warriors We fight in his honour Onward, we lay down our lives Warriors We fight in his honour Oh great god, embodies the earth and the sky

Winds roar with intense ferocity Flashes of white, from darkness to light Astral night shimmers on columns Colossal stone archways A gateway to the archmage Let your fire Draw you to the mountain Arcane metals Glowing within you Wisdom of the ancients Embedded in his brow An aura of aether Power Shadows receding, darkness depleting Heavenly beings that stand by my side A stone from the gods Imbued with untold Eternal chosen Enshrined by the light Let your fire Draw you to the mountain Arcane metals Glowing within you Crystal Spires Singing to the sky Glowing light Echoes its reply

High into the Skies Relic of Old North Hammer Look into his eyes Power to hold North, Hammer High, into the Skies Relic of Old North Hammer Look into his eyes Power to hold By the grace of the Gods Ancestral souls Withered and old Unto the skies they told Whisper of my own Fate, my own destiny It calls to me, it calls to me Crack through the ice Swim through the depths Pulsing through your veins Forget all the rest High into the Skies Relic of Old North Hammer Look into his eyes Power to hold North, Hammer High, into the Skies Relic of Old North Hammer Look into his eyes Power to hold By the grace of the Gods

Banners held high Blood soaking steel In the glory of Glory of the battlefield Feel no fear Swords in the air Legions of foul wicked beastmen Purging the earth In the name of the savage god Feel no fear Swords in the air Hammer of Justice Crash upon the Earth Consecrated by your hand Banish wicked from this land Banners held high Blood soaking steel In the glory of Glory of the battlefield Feel no fear Swords in the air Savage slaughtered and red As far as I can see Many men lye dead One with the soil Valkyries carry their souls to the god In the sky
