INDEPENDENT TRACKLIST
1) Intro - Entering the Dark Stronghold
00:46, instrumental

2) The Invocation of the Supreme Enthroned Lord of War
3:43, lyrics:
I invoked the lord worthy be praised, and I'll be saved
Of my enemies, laces of death surrounded me, impiety
Imposed me terror, infernal cages imprisoned my self,
In my anguish I invoked the lord; I screamed for help to
My God, from his temple he heard my voice...
Invocation of the supreme enthroned lord of war...
My clamor penetrated his ears, the earth shacked and
Co motioned, from his breath rose smoke, devourer fire
From his mouth, and also ardent hot coals lowering the
Skies he descended, had under feet dense darkness,
Ridden and flew away...
Carried quickly on the wings of the wind, from dark
Made a coat and occulted, dark clouds of the sky were
His home from the splendor before him, dense clouds
Broken hail and flaming coals, had thunder and so the
Lord in heavens, the almighty raised his voice,
Launched his arrows spread my enemies...
Multiplied his radius and destroyed, were discovered
The founds of the world, you reprehension angry lord
Extended the hand and tacked me, drawled me from
Many stormy waters, fled me from strong enemies,
Because they were stronger than me.


3) Baptism by Blood
3:33, lyrics:
The sons of the immortal are baptized by blood
With the lord of the armies no one can touch in us
Marching bravely right to the final war, against
The traitor of the distant lands, the vile traitors will
Be smashed by war lord, baptized by blood of the
Eternal pact, arise against us is to march to the grave
With the enthroned immortal we'll defend all attack...
Baptism by blood!
Arise against us is an insane suicide, guardians of the
Gateways cast enemies in fire, trumpets play
Annunciating final war, the battle is near and every
One will bow before the enthroned and will praise his
Name, confess with their own mouth before be cast in
Flames, arise against us is to march to grave, burn in
The hell is a high price to be paid...
Come to the side of the power, and make the pact of
The blood, to baptism by the holy blood, betrayers are
Smashed by lord's hands, power, glory, majesty
Announce the trumpets, heading his armies, riding a
Horse to the final battle.


4) The Ancient of Darkened Days
3:59, lyrics:
Sitting in a magnificent throne, a heavenly throne of
Glory majesty, the wise ancient to judge darkened
Days that comes to earth in the final day, a morbid
Abyss in the mid of the snow where the most cold
Strong winds blows, get eyes of fire which see every
Thing, hold humanity's fate in his hands
Behold the ancient of darkened days!
Grave, brave, strong keep seven blood chalices, an
Almighty God so powerful, enthroned, crowned with
Thorns, his great wisdom for centuries, he lived to win
And reign, behold the barren cross and the sword of the
Majestic glory, resurrection, he won the death and reign...
His eyes are red like fire no one can defeat him,
Invincible Yeshua smash the heads of the enemies, dwells
In a celestial castle, created life and death, creator and
Destructor, into darkness he's the guide.


5) Flight of the Creatures of the Night
4:28, lyrics:
Cruel the beast in black, the dark silence of the moon,
Hitting pyres invoke Lucifer's name in a night of Halloween
Blasphemies in the silence, flying through the night
They search for lost souls that can give to their master...
Devil's flight of the creatures of the night!
Children souls, innocent souls, drinking the blood extracting
Lives, in a bloody night the devil's flight, hear the witches
Sing spelling children, come insane peasants holding torches,
In the name of God ready to kill, burn the evil which there's
In the night... They'll not touch in the souls bathed for lamb
Blood of the eternal pact with the immortal creator of souls,
You can run can't hide of the devil's flight.


6) Cruel Torture of the Christian Martyrs
4:26, lyrics:
So the cruel torture begins, the agony is so extreme,
Many are burned in the pyre, decapitated and ripped
Scratched and buried alive, hanged and crucified,
Launched in boiling oil, devoured by hungry beasts,
By the black hands of perverted libertine these were the
Sentences of the martyrs...
Cruel torture of the Christians martyrs, in nomini
Romanus imperius in nomini Satannae...
Just because refused to bend before a hypocrite sinner man
That wants to be God, a cruel demon in human disguise,
Enthroned and commanding the black oppressor roman
Empire, with his golden trident in hand thousands of
Souls to hell he command, he speaks with Satannae
Receives and accomplish his orders...
Black cold hearted, to every one show no mercy, thief
And liar controls the world, the corrupted catholicon
Church... Chariots drag chained bodies, until they hurt,
Bleed till death, whipped, thrashed, suffocated and agonized,
Sacrificed their flesh for they faith, for don't worship images
And men their names are written in inquisition's book
Written by own Lucifer.


7) The Return of the Enthroned Beast
3:39, lyrics:
Under beast command the roman empire returns
With a satanic controller power, in a infernal world
The pact was made, with Satan in command the world
Fall to knees at his feet, marked with profane number
The bestial command 666...
Bestial command, the return of enthroned beast!
In the Vatican, masquerade devil's priest preach the
Lies in the name of their gods, the same hangman who
Crucified Christ, hypocrite, disgraced ones preach the
False Christianize... The Catholic church is a great thief
Will buy world's leaders and implant the kingdom of
The beast to control minds and send many to hell!
Bestial pope says has the power to forgive sins, lie, he
Can't forgive himself, catholic church is a great thief,
With all it's richness will buy world's leaders and
Implant his kingdom to control minds of peoples, send
Eternally to hell... Bestial command, the roman empire
Returns to impose cruel laws, rebellion against the Christ.


8) Behold the Great Thunder of War
3:50, lyrics:
Barbarians and Vikings are ready to fight, swords and
Axes are shining bright, behold the great thunder of
War, Vikings ships arriving navigating in gore...
Under northern sky battle begins, no one want to die
They just want to win, behold the great thunder of war
His sound is like a hammer smashing the ground!
Behold the great thunder of war!
Dressed in leather to not be congealed, strong men with
Mortal weapons and wields, is horrible and gory the
Battlefield... The dawn is coming in an insupportable
Breeze, the scattered corpses are hard and freeze, I feel
The pain while those man bleed (for all)... Bow before
The thunder God, he will smash the unfaithful ones
The enemies of our clan, we fight under the immortal
Command... Battle all the lands, with war lord in
Command, strong and brave they stand... At the edge of
The frost, fearless, never forget the post... You can see
He in the dark skies, his sound is like drums of war...
Triumph of dark ages away, a dark time full of death and pain.


9) There's No Peace for No One Flesh
3:57, lyrics:
I forsaken my home, I abandoned my inheritance,
I gave the beloved of my soul in the hands of my
Enemies, turned my inheritance for me as a lion in
The forest, arouse his voice upon me, for this me fight...
Upon every high desert places came destroyer cause
War lord sword, devours from an earth extreme until
Another, there's no peace for no one flesh...
There is no peace for no one flesh , my enemies will be
Punished by death, they'll be devoured by the lion of
The forest, lion of Judah, great armies lord, arise his
Voice and roar to destroy...
But thou oh lord know me, thou see me and proof my
Heart, send them like sheep's to the killing, and prepare them
To the slaughter day... And I was like a lamb which they
Bring to the killing; they imagined traps against me,
Saying: Cut him from the land of the living and will there
No more memory of his name... But thou oh armies lord
Which proofs the thoughts of my heart, see I thy vengeance
Upon them, the young will die by sword, their sons and
Daughters will die for hunger.


10) Black Priest of Satanic Blood Rituals
4:23, lyrics:
Demons carry the black priest in a dusk night
Crossing the bridge of death to the stronghold
Speaking with the devil carry stolen gold, he's black
Goat worshiper he is devil's pope... Between the
Dark forest of drying trees is coming the winter when
Everything freeze, there is the place where the madman
Lives, he is a nomad fighting against the blizzard...
Black priest of the satanic blood rituals
Annunciating the black priest walking in the front
A squeletizen soul is holding the cross, blessing the curse
That's arriving to steal, liar, deceiver, do the devils will...
Behind the golden throne of hypocrite saint, another
Squeletizen soul bless with holy blood, the blood of the
Martyrs they persecuted and killed, for preach the truth
And no the lie and pope's will...
Vobis itaveniet, mortus diabolus, adquiristes cum
Aurum, et mártires sanguinis, tenebras creatorem,
Obscurum filis serpentem, judicastis crucis malitia,
Salvator inferni aeternam...
The beast, the antichrist and the false prophet, unholy
Darkness trinity of Satan, control catholic church's
Hierarchy, and the world of the living and dead.


11) Libertine Hangman of the Crucified
4:25, lyrics:
He worship pieces of wood and stones, the black priest is carried
To inside the monastery, the vile libertine speaks with the master
Of lies, under a morbid night, a cloudy full moon night...
It's prepared an immaculate reception, to the enslaver of poor
Plebeians, covered in blood, cruelty and malice, perverted
Sanctity full of covet delight and orgies...
Libertine hangman of the crucified
Crossing the dark forest of ancient woods, he is holding the
Profane and blasphemous book, the death list of the malignant
Inquisition, he dwells in darkness seven legions serve him...
An ancient hypocrite rotten an full of sins, pray to unholy images
In the altar of madness, crossing the medieval return less bridge
Of death, he's a rotten libertine who kills innocent people...
Under a morbid dark full moon night, the libertine speaks with
The master of lies, covered in blood, orgies and delight, he is the
Hangman of the crucified...
Drink from the chalice of blood, to order your soul, drink the
Sweet holy wine, deliver your precious soul to me!

Satanic Emperor (album)

Left: May, 2011, Extreme Records, CD-R
Right: 20 January, 2023, Independent, Bandcamp

1) Times of War
4:32, lyrics:
I praise the God of nordic dawn,
I am a warrior walking through snow,
I am a viking, a native fighter,
My heart is cold; I belong the Nordic night...

Times of War...

I know all these landscapes of winter,
My sword, my hammer, my axe full of power
The noble blood runs through my veins,
My beloved land of Scandinavia...

Times of War...

Barbarian realms of frozen beauty,
I'm proud for born in a land so majestic
I am a wolf barking through forest,
I am a great falcon flying free...

"Living in the Dark Forest,
The Way of the viking is my path,
I belong the Sacred Order,
Lost in the wind, I search for my people,
My tribe is the tribe of the brave,
My enemies search for my soul
From Heavens comes my supreme power
Who defies me will be smashed".


2) The Frozen Call
4:42, lyrics:
I see through the shadows, I roam through the trees, into the Dark Forest where the madman lives, I served Thor, Odin was my God, but I heard tell about the Supreme Invisible King of Kings... (King of winter and Thunder Lord)
Beasts of darkness and winter, whispering call my name, black spirits of shadows, diabolical hordes filled with hate, legions of amon and baal, black goat worshippers....
Malefic entities, want to enslave our people...
They want to kill me because I am the inherit of a Kingdom, a conspiracy to kill me commanded by the old religious leper and dethrone my Father, wanting impose his false religion, built his damned temple in our land to steal and destroy our culture... (decrepit pope of roman bastards)


3) The Circle of the Sacred Order
4:22, lyrics:
The warriors of the Sacred Order are searching for me, the Ancient Forest of Elves. I'm hidden and lost, hurt in battle against the worshippers of dead gods, they want to burn our land, reap our women and kill our children to end the Nordic lineage...
The circle of the Sacred Order - don't break the circle...
They come from their castle in the land of eternal darkness, beyond the mountains of souls where the fire constantly burns, they use too hard black armours and kill everything in their front, roman legions show no mercy, coming marching, I can hear their drums roar...
Mounted in wild beasts that eat human flesh, winged inflamed dragons that come to destroy. They don't want the peace of nations, they want to turn all in darkness they serve their enthroned grandmaster, the tyrant emperor


4) The Battle Begins
4:19, lyrics:
They meet in the Dark Forest "where the spirits of trees whisper", the warrior of Great Sacred Order and the dead gods worshippers, the horns are playing like trumpets, each horde scream a battle cry, with deadly weapons in hands they run to kill or die. The battles begins, many will die! I'm behind the trees watching the fight for my cause, my enemies want to cut out my head, my friends want me to command the throne, is so bloody the battle, many die for oppressed cause, one of my enemies sees and chases me, but some one occults me from his Hungry eyes...
The man who saved my life is "The Madman of the Dark Forest", judged as wizard unfairly by malicious people who don't know him, he is a great and good man who saved me and brought me home, in a hut occulted by trees, my enemies search but can't find me...
I'm protected by the magic of Thunder Lord


5) The Return of the King
4:31, lyrics:
Talking with the old man, so good and wise, he told me his history, he was a great knight, came from a past of glories, he fought for his land, he met my Great Father, he fought at his command. He said - "I know all these blessed lands, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Iceland, Finland, Germany so proud, the Viking lands of my past I saw the dark kingdom arise, but you have to fight to destroy it; take your mighty sword in hand an go to conquer your realm"...
"Yes I have to fight, don't care if I live or die, but I have to try, I can't fear my enemies of hell are open to them"...
With conspiracy and traps of the lord of idolatry could kill my father, serve and protect the most weak is my duty, the vengeance belongs to my Lord and they all will be destroyed, poor, damned, disgraced ones, they'll repent for have born.


6) Hymn of Victory
5:14, lyrics:
We sing the hymn of victory
The glorious hymn of the winners
Proud we march to Asgard
The almighty army of the brave...
We are the warriors of ice
Powerful sons of the Immortal One
Power, Glory, majesty, victory
In the name of the Enthroned
Our hymn of victory!
We carry the flag with the blood of those who gave their lives in battle by the force of Metal we were free and for it we will live...
Until the last trumpet be played we'll sing battle hymns and celebrate the Supreme Immortal One
Our chalices are filled with the good wine...
Our tables are filled with, we're by side of the Enthroned, serving at His crown
For Him we'll give our lives, He carries the sceptre of justice, our alliance is made, He gave us rings to seal the pact
In our chest the heraldry of the Sacred Order of North.


7) A Long Journey to Ride
3:53, lyrics:
Riding through extensive snow, running wild, With my horse I fly as the wind, I have to see with eagle's eyes cause spies roam searching, My soul, hidden, disguised can be any one
Four black horsemen persecute me, I step down by my horse and face them and defeat them all...
A long journey to ride, a dark path to follow...
Nothing can stop my journey, my fury is like a terrible storm, my people needs me more than ever
I can't desist, I can't fail, I pass through distant kingdoms, stranger lands I never saw barbarian realms of fire and steel, I summon them to fight with me...
"The enemy is very strong an vast, they declared war to the man of peace, all of us must unite our forces and fight the black hordes of the great papal beast, a great bastard goddess to war but with us is The Almighty Supreme Lord of war, if we fight with faith, we'll win by the Invincible One...
Come join us brothers to the battle to set free our beloved lands, by the force of Metal, we'll conquer the freedom...


8) Satanic Emperor
4:22, lyrics:
The satanic emperor is the cruel reaper of souls, a black priest of satanic blood rituals enslave and kill to reach his goals that are implant his kingdom of idolatry, domains all realms on earth, steal the richness of all lands he invades with his disgraced church...
He is called 'the holy pope', his putrid carcass sits in a throne of gold, he brings the image of a black goddess and wants to force all bow before her, he wants to end our culture, our purity, our traditions.
Go away with your putrid 'saints', we spit in the face of this black goddess
We have the honour, the courage of our ancestors, we will not take this, we'll break their images and ex pulse the invaders, nobody here will worship your gods, even we have to fight till death, satanic emperor go out of your lands, your kingdom has fallen!
Bring away your idols from our Nordic lands, mercenary roman dogs of hell, we have already our Almighty God, the King of winter and thunder Lord.


9) The Final Battle
5:55, lyrics:
The pagan warriors wait for the gates of Valhalla, pray for Odin and Thor, Nordic gods of their past, there is panic and terror for all inflamed arrows begin to fly, all run to the combat, I know that many will die...
The massacre begins, we're minority but we prevail, Brave Armies of North, Germanic Warriors I hail, they fight for their land, they fight for their people, this war has to stop, this will be the final battle...
I lead the Army of the Winners, in my flag I have the Lion of North, our hordes begin to prevail and their black goddess saint begins to fall and cry blood, annihilated, humiliated the beast is dethroned, their castle is burned and destroyed by the fire of Sacred Order Horsemen...
They go back to hell and their kingdom falls, peoples are free from the curse, from their cages, another time of peace and liberty begins for all.

Dimensions of Shadows (album)

Left: 2015, Metal Survivor, CD-R, 250 copies
Right: 21 January, 2023, Independent, Bandcamp

If I understand correctly, this album was originally planned to be called "Mountains of Ice" and had different cover art, but the current name and artwork were decided on instead. The original title/artwork were available at [this URL] (or [here]) but it's expired now. ......... HOWEVER, I'm not entirely certain if this was the case, or if instead, perhaps, it was just a video of the song "Mountains of Ice", from a time when official artwork hadn't been created/revealed yet.

There's a typo on the Bandcamp cover artwork; "Dimension of Shadows" instead of "Dimensions of Shadows".

1) Beyond the Dark Woods
6:07, lyrics:
I see your face beyond the shadows
Beyond the dark woods of night
Frozen mountains embrace my soul
To the Nordic lands is where I go
Beyond the horizons, beyond the stars
Riding galaxies of space and time
I search for You, I call Your name!
Lord, take me higher, I need Your strength!
Beyond the dark woods...
Beyond the shadows...
Beyond the dark woods...
You're the living sacrifice of night
Taken me out from the shadows
Taking to light!
Changed my darkest path to Holy Way
Only You I praise, serve and obey!


2) Castle of Sorrow
6:55, lyrics:
I am here alone in the night
Thinking in this life
The sorrow embraces my soul
I look at the stars in the dark sky
In castle of sorrow I am the night of North!
Feel me invisible and no one cares for me
Only my God that loves the poor souls
Waiting my time to God take me away
Waiting for glory,
Oh Lord, take away my soul
Castle of sorrow, where you can hear my cries
In castle of sorrow, I'm waiting my time to die
Look at my pain, all I want is Your reign
Lord, save my soul, I only want you to know!


3) Cold Days of Winter
7:18, lyrics:
I'm standing in the night, alone
God is by my side, come one
Into the night I see
He's the great Guardian of Light
Come back to me, now
I am the dark night
I am fighting for You
In shadows of night
Tell me what to do
My soul's shining bright
Out from the dark grave
He's calling your name
Go out from the flames
There's no hope for you
In the cold days of winter
The North is so cold
In cold days of winter
I am not alone! Alone!
Follow me, now! Come to ride with me
You must kill your fear
The cross you have to bear
The North is so near
In cold days of winter, I am alive
In cold days of winter, I am the night!


4) Dimensions of Shadows
6:19, lyrics:
Shadows call my name
I don't want to burn in flames
Lucifer's to blame
For the humanity slave!
We need to be save
From the fire of darkness
I can see the light
Beyond the shadows of night!
The fall of man
Send the soul to the abyss
For the salvation
Only Christ is the way!
Out from the darkness
The Heaven calls your name
Run from eternal fire
Run from the hellish flames!
Dimensions of shadows
For eternity!
Dimensions of shadows
Souls will never be free!
Send me the angels
To fight this war for me
I need Your help, oh Lord
For my soul to be free!
I need the holiness
I need the freedom soul
Lord of the Heavens
From high above!


5) If You My Soul
5:25, lyrics:
If you my soul
Christian harp
If you my soul, pleading God
And not receive, trusting you stay
In His promises that are very rich
And infallible for real you
Why are you killing, oh my soul?
And you comoves, losing his cool
Do not be afraid in God expects
Why early Jesus will come
He intercedes for you, my soul
Wait for Him with faith and calm
Jesus saves all your evils
And bless you from Heaven above
Why are you killing, oh my soul?
And you comoves losing his cool
Do not be afraid in God expects
Because early Jesus will come
Why are you killing, oh my soul?
And you comoves losing his cool
Do not be afraid in God expects
Because early Jesus will come
You'll soon the rifts pain
In joyful day of His coming
If Christ is slow, still waiting
A little more and you will see
Why are you killing, oh my soul?
And you comoves losing his cool
Do not be afraid in God expects
Because early Jesus will come
Why are you killing, oh my soul?
And you comoves losing his cool
Do not be afraid in God expects
Because early Jesus will come


6) Snow Battles
6:24, lyrics:
Come to fight with me
Through battles of North
Face the raging enemy
Face the snow and frost!
Come to ride with me
Through landscapes of North
Come to fight with me
And you'll never be lost
Wipe away your fears
Death is always near
The cross you have to bear
He shed His blood for you!
To medieval battles
We fight through endless times
To medieval battles
We fight until we die!
Warriors of North!
Looking to endless horizons
See the stormy sea
Riding through where eagles fly
Flying to be free
Facing the wild beasts and dragons
The forest demons
Lord of thunder is for us
We were born to win!
See the darkened sky
Where the eagles fly
Where the dragons lie
See the glimpse of night!


7) Mountains of Ice
5:30, lyrics:
Go to the lands of ice
Walk through the frozen sea
The blessed lands of winter
My soul will be free!
Through the frozen winds of night
I will walk alone
Then my soul is shining bright
Break the hearts of stone!
Look to beauty of north
Step on snow of the frost
Behold the dark of the sky
The blood moon will shines
Mountains of ice
Through the eyes of night
Mountains of ice
My soul will be free!
Feel the time of end
It's coming near
Run to mountains
Wipe away your fear!
Break the frozen stone
That's in your heart
Run to mountains
And keep you alive


8) Son of North
6:11, lyrics:
I am the son of north
Created by God
Made by His great image
The son of the light!
I praise always His name
I have His holy strength
Lord of the northern dawn
Behold His great creation!
Son of north, son of Lord!
Gave us His paradise
Authority to domain
He loved our souls
His words we shall obey
Lord of power and light
His might sword's shining bright
For all His praise and glory
Thank You for the light!
Praise you, holy Lord!
Thunder from above
Holy Lord of frost
Never leave me lost!


9) Wisdom Sky
6:29, lyrics:
Come to a journey with me
And wipe away your fear
Be ready for war
Heavens call your name!
Run to search for wisdom
That comes from the sky
Be eternal, my friend
That your soul will never die!
Beyond mountains and seas
Beyond space and time
Through galaxies and planets
Where the dragons fly
Search for the wisdom
That comes from the sky
Search for the salvation
Search for holiness!
It's time to fly, no time to die
No tears to cry, search for wisdom sky
He is calling your name
Out from the flames
Satan is to blame
You need to be save
Search for wisdom sky
Search eternal life
Beware with your soul
Hell, don't want to know
