George Great riffs, screaming guitars, passionate vocals. Sure production may not be perfect but its raw emotion and epic ferociousness makes up for any shortcomings. Recommended to fans of epic metal. Fans of slick/polished productions and detail perfectionists should stay away. Favorite track: Victory.

Prelude to Victory 01:08
lyrics
It's the shimmering day of Victory! Cloaked in Darkness, just before decay It's almost the third, the third day Is this the end of our way? No! I see the Light of Day! We won't retreat, we won't surrender! Our hopes and dreams to Death forever! Soon the Seventh Trumpet will sound... In Victory!!!

Victory 07:35
lyrics
In the sudden wake of great excitement Mighty powers unleased! Rise and break the chains of Hell forever Smash them in your fist! Knock them down Demons crawl around Blinded they tear their eyes Trumpets of Victory now sound Freed from Hades you rise! Heading towards the top Yea the top of world Your ride can not be stopped It's Hail and God's Thunderbolt! Strucken by the Almighty God of Thunder Hell's Gates fell down, guards cringed! Gathering their bones all together They started trembling freezed! One by one the beams crumble 'round It's Death's empire extinction Hearing your call they rise unbound Out of Hades dead millions! Heading towards the top Yea the top of world This ride can not be stopped It's Hail and God's Thunderbolt! VICTORY!!!(4) God's Spirit lurks in the air They're all standing, standing in despair!!! Last Hour, Final War You'll fight and kill Death forevermore!!! VICTORY!!!(3) In the sudden wake of great excitement Mighty powers unleased Death is swallowed, Life's Crown yours' forever It's time to live your VICTORY!!!(8) VICTORY!!!(2)

Black Panther 03:32
lyrics
Out of nowhere came a man Like a thousand winds up to the hills he ran Then a sudden thunderbolt Cracked the Earth the mountain monoliths they rolled... Ye! Leaves jolt high rocks come falling Every time he's running by Leaves jolt high winds our calling See him taking off skyhigh A steamroller plows the ground Taking far away with him a dusty mount A berseker fan of speed Sowing here and there the great panic's seed... Ya! Leaves jolt high rocks come falling Every time he's running by Leaves jolt high winds our calling See him taking off skyhigh Black Panther! Son of Thunder and Light Running all day and night The gale is shaking your eye The Panther searches at your side! His heart is on fire, his will strong as steel He'll never stop running, no rest he won't kneel He'll always get there Guiding the light of the Sun Black, black Panther! Attack! Coming to get you!(2) You will die!

Fearless Fighter 05:35
lyrics
Bombs falling Beyond the reaper's calling They all start to run They all start to run They all start to run, no stopping! Fire cautions All around you explosions Run, here they come Run, here they come The deadly gaseous potions!!! Tanks rushing Houses and buildings crashing They people cry They people cry The people die, blood's gushing! Pigs why? They had no guns, pigs die! Come down and fight Come down and fight I wont run, no! I'm the fearless fighter! A man not a coward yea! Into the hellfire! A brave fearless fighter yea! Troops calling - Throw down your gun! - Last warning! Mad dead man go Mad dead man go Mad dead man go, all shooting! The bullets, the bullets fill the air But his heart will never, never ever Run in despair He's the fearless fighter!!! A man not a coward yea!!! Into the hellfire!!! A brave fearless fighter yea!!! I'll fight! Fight fearless to the end! I'll fight! Fight fearless to last breath! I'll fight! Fight!!! He just stands alone in the battlezone Alone in the circle of hell! And the Earth shooked, the Abyss opened wide And the war machines all sunk inside And a smoke rose up, up to the sky! His titanic screams echo in the hills See him, see him fire and yell! Yea!!! He's the fearless fighter!!!

Indian Child 08:08
lyrics
Having to face trials having to rush Through thousand miles of desert pass I... will ask the wind again Where is the valley of the wild n free Where buffaloes run and howling wolves live Where tell me where Lies my hall Horses screaming wild Horses screaming high As an Indian child Rides across the sky I'm running wild I'm riding high As an Indian child Slavery I deny! You know that I went up hill and down dale Crossed the deep river travelled through hail So I... will ask the wind again Where is the canyon where I was born When Sun rose high in the horizon Where take me where Lies my home Horses screaming wild Horses screaming high As an Indian child Rides across the sky I'm running wild I'm riding high Returning to my homeland Hear my battlecry! Horses screaming wild Horses screaming high As an Indian child Rides across the sky I'm screaming wild I'm screaming high Returned to my homeland Hear my freedom cry... Forever!!! Black Panther! Son of Thunder and Light Running all day and night The gale is shaking your eye The Panther searches at your side! His heart is on fire, his will strong as steel, he'll never stop running, no rest, he won't kneel He 'll always get there, guiding the Light of Sun. Black, black Panther! Attack! Coming to get you!(2) You will die!
