Seems like forever since I've heard that. Such a moving page of music.

It is, even when the words are in Irish, which I don't understand. I love the mix of ethereal Celtic mysticism and the 80's FM synth sounds, that was their core sound back in the day.

Agreed. I would especially go through phases of musical interest when I was younger, and the early 2000s was a heavy Irish folk phase for me. So moving and solemn. Though I also don't have a Celtic vocabulary, I didn't need one to fully understand the pain and celebration in so many of those beautiful songs.

We ain't outta here in ten minutes, we won't need no rocket to fly through space
No Coachella thread that I can see. So happy that the crowd showed up for Knocked Loose and proved that at least 1% of the attendees can move their feet.

Frank Ocean's car crash solidifying him as the biggest diva in music. Stick to the studio, mate.

I see you trembling like the Earth is falling from your feet
Like you've never felt the ground before
An indication that you're over your head again
That you don't know how to settle the score

I would be lying if I told you that I didn't know
The way that you could fix it all
If you're stacking your problems like a pile of bricks
You gotta knock down the wall

Before someone like you breaks you and puts you in the ground

Do the heavens ever spare the crop when the Winter falls?
Could we really hide if the Reaper calls?
And so it goes, the lamb will be led to the loam
And you will return

I see a hesitating grimace held above your chin
Like you haven't thought of this before
And though the sentiment keeps you from letting go
You know it's irresistible

To hear those voices hush, you must be cold
In times when peace of mind is bought and sold

'Cause someone like you would break you and put you in the ground

Do the heavens ever spare the crop when the Winter falls?
Could we really hide if the Reaper calls?
And so it goes, the lamb will be led to the loam
And you won't return

Don't you want to see him fall apart
So you can pick the pieces up and put him back together?
Finally building up the perfect pawn?
Another shadow lost in the dark
Another shadow lost in the dark

The guitar picking and chordwork reminds me a lot of Interpol with a touch of Sheryl Crow muted and mixed into their sound. Well crafted.


The video to go with the song processes that feeling of looking past the veils of Babylon, so to speak, and seeing what's underneath aspects of communities with heightened awareness tearing through, when on the road.

Wow I didn’t think anyone else on Gaf would know of this artist. One of those obscure gems. Love her sound.


You never fail to impress! I'm just happy someone else knows about her as well. You've definitely turned me on to multiple artists so just wanted to say thanks again for always sharing awesome music.

You probably already know this and probably know more about them than I do. But just making sure you knew Yukari changed her name to Aseul and has multiple crazy good albums.

I'm pleased to hear that, my guy! The feeling is mutual.

I was also unaware she changed her name, so thanks for the heads up.

Well my advice is to take it 1 album every 2 weeks maybe lol. It is possible to blow through albums too quick and they're all pretty solid! Not perfect but very consistently really good. I honestly don't know if anyone even knows lol. This second video has 9.6k views.

Angus McSix - Sixcalibur [ANGUS McSIX and the Sword of Power]
(Power Metal) 2023



[Intro]
Sixcalibur!
Sixcalibur!

[Verse 1]
Feared by ghoul and goblin
The power of the sword
Conquered hell and abyss
Defeated evil lord

A thousand centuries ago
Arch demon Seebulon
Had been banned for eternal times to come
By the blade forged to prevail
All hail!

[Chorus]
Sixcalibur!
The astral fire burns in my veins again
Sixcalibur!
Unite me with the flame
Sixcalibur!
Empowered by the key to eternity
Sixcalibur!
You and me were meant to be
Sixcalibur!

[Verse 2]
Darknеss starts to tremble
Like lightning hits thе foes
With each slaughtered enemy
Its magic power grows

Every stroke kills many trolls
Some seven at one blow
Stronger force than anything we know
Mighty blade will never fail

All hail!

[Chorus]
Sixcalibur!
The astral fire burns in my veins again
Sixcalibur!
Unite me with the flame
Sixcalibur!
Empowered by the key to eternity
Sixcalibur!
You and me were meant to be
Sixcalibur!

[Bridge]
Hail, hail, hail, all hail!
Hail, hail, hail, all hail!
Hail, hail, hail, all hail!
Hail, hail, hail, all hail!

Hail, hail, hail, all hail!
Hail, hail, hail, all hail!
Hail, hail, hail, all hail!
Hail, hail, hail, all hail!

[Chorus]
Sixcalibur!
The astral fire burns in my veins again
Sixcalibur!
Unite me with the flame
Sixcalibur!
Empowered by the key to eternity
Sixcalibur!
You and me were meant to be
Sixcalibur!


The Orden Ogan influence brough in by Seeb is really obvious in this one imo

Fragrance of spring
Softly floating
Through the air
Washing over me

I hold the chalice
The grail of renewal
Deep within my own heart

Gently I rise
Into the open sky
I am not
Losing my ground this time
Freedom is sweet
As my own blessing
I found peace
Now that my system can breathe

I see the future
Open before me
Do I have what it takes?

Gently I rise
Into the open sky
I am not
Losing my ground this time

Seasons are dying
In opening up my eyes

Seasons are dying
In opening up my eyes

Seasons are dying
In opening up my eyes

Gently I rise
Into the open sky
I am not
Losing my ground this time​
