Notes:
- None of the songs from this EP are instrumentals, but I can't find the lyrics.
- Some places list track 3 and 4 as one song (thus, "The Fury of the Northern Barbarians Behold the Pleasant Moon Rises . . .") This is incorrect. They are separate tracks.

2) Snow Flickering the Moonlight as They Fall from the Sky
4:41
3) The Fury of the Northern Barbarians
7:17 
4) Behold the Pleasant Moon Rises from the North Above the Snow Covered Mountains 6:27
5) The Frozen Nordic Winds of the Night Whistling Within the Forests of the North

The Glory of Winters Chill (album, 2004, Cold Forest Productions)
Format: Unknown

1) Falling into a Trance Before the Onslaught
6:51, instrumental

2) The Fog Rises from the Ground at Dusk

5:52, lyrics:
The daylight fades away
Darkness overcomes the land of the north
The rain falls from the sky
The land is wet and cold and obscure
The fog rises from the ground
Wolves howl from the mountains
Barbarians starve in the wilderness
The rain pours on this cold land
Wind freezes the waters
Frost covers this Nordic land
Moonlight breaks through the clouds
Frost flickers the moonlight everywhere
Through the thick fog of the night


3) The Glory Has Come Along with the Grim

4:06, lyrics:
The night feels so cold
It has never been like this
I never felt this before
The glory has come
The night feels so cold
It has never been like this
I never felt this before
I know it is time


4) Winter Has Arrived in the North

4:18, lyrics:
 Snow falling from the sky
Filled with thousands of stars
Moonlight glowing so bright
A cold so glorious
The forest so beautiful
The wind whistles
The air so fresh and cold
The winter has arrived
In this glorious place


5) The Nordic Wolves Are Howling
in the North
6:02, lyrics:
A harsh blizzard of the north
Blowing a wind of ice and snow
The wind whistles in the night
So cold so dark so fresh
A barbaric of the north
Sheltered from storm
By the forest covering themselves
With their thick furs
The wolves howl from the mountains
The ice wind carries the noise
Through this land
In the dead of winter
Barbarians hear the sound
Of the northern wolves
They wonder if
They summoned this storm
Or the other way around
Other way around
The howling of the
Northern wolves in the north


6) The Glory of Winter's Chill

5:39, lyrics:
Early in the morning
I will seek You
In a dry and thirsty land
My soul thirsts for You
Because Your loving kindness
Is better than life
I will praise You and
Lift my hand to You
You come and save me and
Will take me to heaven very soon
My soul is satisfied with You
My heart overflows with Your joy
Oh Lord You are so glorious
You are a winter's chill
On a hot summer day
You are my refuge
You are glorious
