Sowilo shines alive
Where horizon meets the sky
The crowning sun reborn into the dawn.
An abyss illuminated
Endless and never sated
Reaching far into frontiers beyond...
What mysteries take flight
Beyond the cloak of night
Spawned from the ether in a place of dreams.
I'll seek my answers there
Above where eagles dare
Behind the veil into a world unseen.
Through coded mists of vision
Nebulae of wonder rise
Reflecting somewhere far beyond
Unseen by mortal eyes.
I seek to breach the gate
And gaze upon the sight
Of starry vistas
Gleaming like a sea of diamonds in the night.
Upon the tides of time
Chimeric waves now shine
Light-born life sprung from oblivion.
Crossing the great divide
Where belief is defied
Is this the end or has it just begun?
Through coded mists of vision
Nebulae of wonder rise
Reflecting somewhere far beyond
Unseen by mortal eyes.
I seek to breach the gate
And gaze upon the sight
Of starry vistas
Gleaming like a sea of diamonds in the night.
Past the stars we sail through the night
On a dream-sea beyond darkness and light.
Bygone spheres light the path that is shown
Across the stellar verge and into the unknown.

Past the stars we sail through the night
On a dream-sea beyond darkness and light.
'Neath distant thunder, an ethereal shore,
Reality rent asunder and shattered at its core.
Rising with the solar winds,
Reforged in astral flames,
The darkside of the cosm
Opens wide and calls my name.
I seek to breach the gate
And gaze upon the sight
Of starry vistas
Gleaming like a sea of diamonds in the night.
Past the stars we sail through the night
On a dream-sea beyond darkness and light.
Bygone spheres light the path that is shown
Across the stellar verge and into the unknown.

Past the stars we sail through the night
On a dream-sea beyond darkness and light.

Reality rent asunder and shattered at its core.
Chevalier is no doubt one of my favorite up and coming acts, playing an off the beaten path brand of raw sounding speed metal. Go back to their first LP here, self recorded. Sure, it doesn't have the same production level as "Destiny Calls", but it's still a great listen in it's own right. Bloodied But Unbowed
Furious guitar playing,moving between speed and prog metal and the high melodic vocals, oh my god !! The songs are all between 5 and 7 minutes, often vary the tempo, do not score with catchiness, but with many Yes! That's exactly how metal should be! Stephan
Blazing True Metal from Sweden, Mace'n'Chain are ready to storm the gates with mighty vocal melodies and blistering riffs. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 30, 2023
Pretty much the best Black/Speed Metal I've listened to since I learned about Evil Invaders and Vulture. Everything you'd love to be reminded of about this musical era is there. The influences are what you'd expect too: Motörhead, Venom, Bathory, early Slayer, Celtic Frost; aggressive vocals, tortured guitar solos, pounding drums; everything is fast, clear and still a little grimy, but without reverb cranked up to the max. Amazing band, amazing album. Odiumediae
