Warlords 05:56
We survived the arms of the kraken and the belly of the whale We have slain the fiercest of the sea beasts and we lived to tell the tale In stories our names will live on Fight for what is best in life And the rest be damned We seek the greatest challenge of our mettle We have faced the wrath of the titans In the darkest depths of hell Shattered minds and twisted in their visage Pale shadows of themselves As warlords to battle we ride Dragon breath and endless seas Through the dead of night We seek the greatest challenge of our mettle Lo, we seek what cannot be sought On a sea unforgiving, alone We live for the rising of tides And a life that cannot be bought Looking back on wars left behind us And destruction in our wake When he comes we shall greet death well For he is like an old friend In stories our names will live on

Wading through a hostile world is he who deals in deaths delight Negotiate in womb of night the the way in which they greet the void Monarchy or magistrate, it matters not, just pay the price Each man lives in crushing fear and prays the new day does not bring The silent assassin The blade in the night Silently he grips his steel and slips unseen through shadow's shroud Poison pierces past his prey's defenses as he passes by Daylight Dawns and dances down in silver rays upon the silent crowd Each man lives in crushing fear and prays the new day does not bring The silent assassin The blade in the night Monarchy or magistrate, it matters not, you're gonna pay the price!
3.
A wizard came from a hole in the sky A planet caravan of those who won't say die Escape from changes with the lord of their world Where heaven and hell converge in electric funeral fire Alright! Behind the wall of sleep the children of the grave Dance with faeries in boots and men made of iron The spiral Architect designs a wicked world The hand of doom will sweep the children of the sea Look out! Trudging through the blinding snow The mob rules all that we know The bible black calls out from the darkness yeah yeah

Sea of Woe 06:09
Sirens' song Beckon me to shallow waters Drifting on Strength of will, it soon will falter Sailing on into the unknown Oh but I'm still alive in a sea of stars Adrift on a sea of woe Spirits low Time is coming, days are numbered Ancient Foe Buried deep in dark it slumbers Drifting on into the unknown Riding the tide Sensing the end Beckoning are the depths below Calling the light Drowning despite Salvation and fleeting hope Dead of night The spirits my only companion Absent light Together we drift on in darkness Sailing out into the unknown

Cosmos 04:23

Traveling alone at night The dread is rising within me Howling and fangs in the night Gnashing teeth upon my wrist A sickness boils my blood Visions of gore and of murder My senses tuned and on edge An animal lurks in the mirror I feel the change A sickness burns in my blood I feel the change A shadow hunts in moonlight The sun will be setting soon The wildness growing within me Desire to run with the pack A need to kill and devour Full moon lights my path Sensing the fear, with rage I burst into the night I unleash my wrath Joining the hunt, howling with feral delight There is no taming the wild My sentence is death in chains There is no taming the wild Condemned to death in chains I felt the change The wildness boiled in my blood I was the change A shadow hunted in moonlight I felt the change I tasted freedom in wildness I was the change Feral hunter in moonlight

Great battles I've lived through Great bloodshed and pain I bear the burden of life in an age of madness Upon the horizon A new day has dawned Great rivers i'll cross in search of a purpose As we ride, chasing the wind The battle cries of the ancients warming our bones Soaring high, riding the wind Child of the Mountain, lord of the stone We seek ancient wisdom Hidden words of the past Spoken with grace from the heart of a child, in his temple And over this wasteland we journey anew Carrying on through the wind and the rain Toward the Mountain Will you speak to me down at the water's edge On the lifetimes of mortal men I grow long in the tooth And the wind blows cold Do we carry on after the end? You have journeyed long and the road is hard Heed these words that I will now speak May the song in your heart never leave your breath May you walk among mountains and streams Now go The battle cries of the ancients carry us home

about

Since the band's inception in 2007, North Carolina based Temptations Wings has labored tirelessly to create a brand of heavy music that would stand the test of time. With an emphasis on storytelling (drawing on such influences as Greek and Norse mythology) Temptations Wings have sought to craft a sound that harkens back to the early days of heavy metal, while attempting to blaze new courses into uncharted sonic territory. Guitar harmonies and plodding rhythms, accompanied by clean vocals give way to haunting Instrumental passages, carefully laced with ambient psychedelic overtones.

Drawing comparisons to the likes of Candlemass and Grand Magus, Temptations Wings back catalog is diverse, yet not without a sense of identity. Songs such as “I Destroyer” (a proto-thrash song that kicks off the concept album “Skulthor Ebonblade”) are paired successfully with the likes of “My Name was Skulthor” (a melodic doom epic that closes the aforementioned release).

Following the release of 2019's EP, “The Path”, Temptations Wings hustled back into the studio that very winter to start recording what was to become “Marauders of the Killing Moon”. Hampered by the COVID-19 pandemic, efforts were finally concluded in the early summer of 2021. “Marauders of the Killing Moon” will be available on the 26th of November, 2021 through Electric Talon Records.
