Give Me Death By Heavy Metal!

by Arkham Witch

supported by

ribbons69 Proper old school HEAVY METAL. For fans of things both HEAVY and METAL. Strap on your bullet belt, charge your glasses with strong ale and prepare to bang your head. Favorite track: The Tower of the Elephant.

Lute FP I know these guys have come across my feed in the past, but for whatever reason this release struck the buy nerve. The riffs are pure 80s thrash worship, and they get it right. 80s Bay Area thrash is an art rarely mastered, and even a good effort is worth my money. I can’t say yet where this lands, but they got my money...

Pop quiz- who knows where Bay Area Thrash was?

Post: In reviewing their past catalog, it’s evident the production and songwriting are perfected on this release.

Death by Heavy Metal EP finally released on CD! With tons of bonus tracks including two new studio recorded songs with the newest line up and previously unheard demo recordings.
This British band has tons of killer songs that haven't been properly released, including last year's "Give Me Death by Heavy Metal!" EP, to which we added other two new studio-recorded songs as well as a bunch of cool demo and rehearsal recordings, most of them previously unreleased. If you're not averse to sound that's a bit rough around the edges, you will surely enjoy the hell out of the entire 70 minutes of it, as long as you're metal inside, because unapologetic METAL attitude seeps from every note and verse there. It's audaciously bold-faced heavy metal infused with doom and thrash, and, as with the other releases by these Viking pirates of doom, it's a must for all fans of THE LAMP OF THOTH, CIRITH UNGOL, HELL, MANILLA ROAD, WITCHFINDER GENERAL, PENTAGRAM, DEEP SWITCH, SAINT VITUS and the like. Old-school to the bone!

To get a taste of it, check the songs we uploaded on YouTube: a brand new one titled "Don't Let the Bastards Win" here and "Lamentations of My Fist" (originally on "Give Me Death..." EP) here. And you can listen to the third song "The Scarlet Citadel" (demo recording) from the Bandcamp player on the ARKHAM WITCH page. Here's the whole compilation CD track listing:
1. Beer and Bullet Belts
2. Death by Heavy Metal
3. Viking Pirates of Doom (2022)

Odin’s rules Valhalla Thor is by his side Loki spreads his mischief Wherever Freya’s love resides But down here man, It’s just beer and bullet belts! Crushing kings before Them Laying giant’s low Thunder into battle Through the blood and snow But down here man its… The sound of death and doom shall rise to fill the hall We children of mist and time shall come to hear the call The beer transforms to mead in amber lunacy And a hundred souls transcend the thrall of this machine And as we raise the horns for the old one to appear To the gods of rock n roll we give a mighty cheer Electric consciousness – the fundamental drive And when the thunder breaks you know that you’re alive! Metal be thy Master Metal be thy might Metal be the power That we wield tonight So it’s not just Beer and bullet belts!

I'm not sleeping Before my time Will not go gently Into that good night. Give me Death by Heavy Metal Die with my boots on Into the fray Until that time Sing as I slay Give me death by Heavy Metal!

5.	The Tower of the Elephant 07:03	lyrics	buy track
Demons ride for your soul The Wizard’s will takes control Just outside as the lions writhe Under the dusk of the twilit sky Evil times Forces clash That could reduce the world to ash In the Tower of the Elephant The power of a god is spent. To this place Conan comes Sword in hand and a thirst for doom IHe shall steal The heart of death And honour the oaths Born on drunken breath In the Tower of the Elephant Death’s bejewelled tower of the Elephant Yag Kosha rise The wizard’s yell And breaks at last the evil spell Deep above as the cosmos drifts Yag Kosha gives his final gift How strange this tower It seems to sway Then by cosmic will Is swept away! Conan stands in the shining shards And leaves this tale For the songs of bards

My favorite material from Solstice! Despite their amazing discography that lay before this that completely set the foundation, this in my opinion is where it all comes to a mighty peak. What an amazing emotional and powerful picture painted in such a short amount of time. Talon Sullivan
