perkele Totally in love with this record.
You can clearly hear the Iron Maiden influences - But Hess sounds unique enough to dont sound like a copycat.

Also love the Egyptian Theme ! Favorite track: King Aiwass.

jacensolodjo Old school riffs, modern vocals, ancient lyrics all come together to make for an amazing album. The Kemetic Gods decree you give it a listen. Favorite track: Thoth.

Henrik Thøgersen Epic metal hymns borne aloft by tight competent playing, a clean crisp production, and the powerful vocals of Melani Hess whose operatic stylings have been toned down here in favor of a more traditional, but no less enjoyable approach. Boy, this is good. Favorite track: Thoth.

Pedro Roque Out of nothing and without warning comes this album storming out of the gates as one of the best heavy metal albuns i’ve heard this year. I think someone should sign them up before they become fucking huge. “Name your price”...? I think you should! Congratulations guys, amazing work!

King Aiwass 06:16
I_King Aiwass In the land of the two horizons In the Aeon of the Child I heard a Hessian voice Echoing in my heart In the land of the Lord of Silence On the Equinox of the Gods That’s when he came to me My Holy Guardian “I’m the Assyrian King He who dwells at Nineveh Harken my words, oh child Do not alter Thelema” And it came to pass That Egyptian night His silent speech Poured gently in my mind And it came to pass That Egyptian night His sacred voice Singing gently to my mind “Oh dear child Heed my words Time is short You must seek the Law” “Oh dear child Heed my words Time is short You must seek the Law” “I’m the Assyrian King He who dwells at Nineveh” Under a veil of gauze he spoke The sacred Law Under a cloud of blue his eyes destroyed Everything they saw “I am the 8th cry The Oversoul of Ra Cross the Tigris Into the temple of Ishtar” And it came to pass That Egyptian night His silent speech Poured gently in my mind And it came to pass That Egyptian night His sacred voice Singing gently to my mind [“Oh dear child Heed my words Time is short You must seek the Law” ] X3 “Oh dear child Time is short Heed my words”

II_God of Silence Now the kaiser was gone and the silent God spoke with no words We sailed across the Nile on a lotus of blue glow “Set out with eager eyes upon the path of the wise Free yourself of the ego of death if you wish to be a God” “Silence is golden”, his eye commanded in a whisper Where the sun rises Where the falcon glides We are the Gods And They are us Heed the words As silent as you are As the Ibis once said, “look upon all things on Earth” Having seen and felt, you must understand The bull, his father, met us on the other side Breathing the winds of Nekhen, I beheld with my own eyes That silence is golden Where the sun rises Where the falcon glides We are the Gods And They are us Heed the words As silent as you are As the Ibis once said, “look upon all things on Earth” Having seen and felt, you must understand The bull, his father, met us on the other side Having seen and felt, you must understand That silence is golden Where the sun rises Where the falcon glides We are the Gods And They are us Heed the words As silent as you are We are the Gods And They are us Heed the words of the Kosmic Thought As silent as you are

Thoth 07:16
III_Thoth On the third moon of my journey across Khem A figure in black hovering above my head The water couldn’t be seen apart from the earth But the breath of a word long gone I recognized its beak, the head of the ibis The shape of the Atlantean, the voice of my master He spoke with no sound And yet, he said all that I needed to know Sit by the fire and hear my tale Of ancient knowledge and technology Don’t say a word, let yourself go You’ll learn the secrets of forgotten laws If you wish to be One with the All My secret teachings you shall master first If you wish to be an immortal soul Your mind must merge into the morning sun I’ve been a teacher of Assyrian minds I stood beside Osiris and Ma’at I overcame the curse of Ra I gambled with what’s hidden in the stars One has to know, there’s no such thing as chance You’ll never ever be the same again At the dawn of civilization I opened the doors To the Hall of the Dead to master what I am to withhold I chose my work among mankind As awakener of the children of man One has to know, that what’s above is so below Within the mind of the All One needs to look deeper, no sense in delving into whims Just hide the truth from the weak By my Orion blood, I swear The secret lies beneath the Pyramids So it is decreed, you own your heart Closing your lips, you quell the chaos of your mind One has to know that everything is and is not That nothing will escape the Law Shine as a light, the key is within you Seek to hush Seek to learn Seek to understand

The Outsider 07:26
IV_The Outsider It was never light Inside those dark cold chambers In that shadowy loneliness Where the past turns to clay Such a lot They gave to us Forever clung to chaos of memories past I still wonder why Why can’t I reach the light? I’ve beheld myself, an outsider I’ve beheld myself, an outsider A stranger among the living men A stranger among the children of death Who am I? Where am I? What am I? Ages of dreaming and waiting But what am I waiting for? I hear the Gods weeping with me Forever doomed to secret silence Gazing at the candles for relief Such a lot They gave to me I’ve beheld myself, an outsider I’ve beheld myself, an outsider A stranger among the living men A stranger among the children of death It was never light in those dark halls In eternal silence I am doomed to remain From beauty to savagery From joy to sorrow The antiprism was mine to hold And I, I could rest no more But the day will come When at last I run free Across the valley of Black Pharaoh Until I become One with the All I’ve beheld myself, an outsider I’ve beheld myself, an outsider A stranger among the living men A stranger among the children of death

Heroes 07:04
V_Héroes Tantas veces caí Aceptando el dolor de perder Cuántas veces me pregunté Si vale la pena seguir Pero con vos acá Nunca voy a olvidar Me enseñaste a pelear A que siempre habrá una batalla más Lo que aprendí de vos Nunca dejé de creer Ganar o perder Cada batalla es para crecer No siempre voy a ganar Cada golpe me muestra una verdad Estés donde estés Sé que siempre puedo volver Tantas veces caí Aceptando el dolor de perder Todas las veces me levanté Sí que vale la pena seguir Porque con vos acá Siempre voy a recordar Sigo marchando Con la frente en alto

VI_Battle of Maldon Byrhtnoth made a speech raising his shield Angry and resolute answered back A payment in war-gear Will do you no good in battle An undaunted, undaunted hero One who’s standing here Willing to claim his land Willing to fight till it’s time Mind must be harder, heart keener Your spirit be greater than desire An undaunted, undaunted hero One who’s standing here Willing to claim his land Willing to fight till it’s time And so too, he advanced At the front of the army He slashed and slew Until his last breath Here lies our leader A good man in the dirt He who turns away Shall always regret it Byrhtnoth made a speech raising his shield Angry and resolute answered back An undaunted, undaunted hero One who’s lying here Willing to claim his land Willing to fight till it’s time

VII_Chaos at Uruk At dawn the Kings sailed across the sky In the calm of the storm-God The ocean swallowed mountain and land Darkening all that was bright The scream of the Goddess of wars Speaking evil in the hall of Gods A black cloud from the horizon Set the land on fire It is I who spoke evil before Them Now the lost souls weep with me The scream of the Goddess of wars Speaking evil in the hall of Gods Indeed the past has turned to clay Like an ox she swept the land of Khem The scream of the Goddess of wars Speaking evil in the hall of Gods Indeed the past has turned to clay Like an ox she swept the land of Khem

VIII_Atlantean Dreams I walk into the depths of the sacred temple Trying to earn the keys to immortality My heart, an ocean of Atmic thought Like raindrops on the dry soil I have become the ocean in the calm of souls With the 18th’s rings, two hearts as one When heaven meets the earth in Enki’s haven Listen to the thunder roar My mind is a spiral A neverending golden whirlwind Who am I? Where am I? Is there a price to pay for eternity? My mind is a spiral A neverending golden whirlwind Who am I? Where am I? Is there a price to pay? My mind is a spiral A neverending golden whirlwind Who am I? Where am I? Is there a price to pay for eternity? There’s always a price to pay Two hearts as one For eternity

Hagalaz 05:01
IX_Hagalaz Hear the sound of thunder roar High above, the nine moons whirl in ice and fire It’s the cry of the mighty aurochs I’m surrounded by dark like a damned outsider Icy walls above my head As I walk along the field of the dead Misty shadows dancing for me I stand in the middle of crystal hexes I hear His voice as the storm grows near Heavy drops pounding on, “there’s no fear” My field laid waste with merciless wrath I call upon the Thrice Born Hail Cold sickness to evil snakes Hail My golden sleep For the sake of rebirth In the aftermath of the storm I cry out in anger, damage done The faint hiss of gnawing jaws The Child crying, “All is not lost!” My field laid waste with merciless wrath I call upon the Thrice Born A seed melting in my hand A berry, a yew tree growing high Brought from the Nine Worlds Brought into unity with the All By singing the spell of hagalaz The dawn of ancient times Hail Cold sickness to evil snakes Hail My golden sleep For the sake of rebirth Icy walls above my head As I walk along the field of the dead Hear the sound of the thunder roar High above, the nine moons whirl in ice and fire It’s the cry of the mighty aurochs I’m surrounded by dark like a damned outsider By singing the spell of hagalaz I know I can come back [Hail Cold sickness to evil snakes Hail My golden sleep For the sake of rebirth] X2 “Standing on the icy mounds, I realize I’ve been saved For hail is a cold grain And the shower of sleet And the sickness of snakes”
