about
Henry Stephens Salt (1851-1939) was an English socialist, naturalist, animal rights pioneer, and prolific writer. His martial text echoes the rhetoric of “The Men of Harlech.” Welsh partisans honor it as their national song. Beyond the borders of Wales, it is often categorized as a folksong. Charles H. Kerr had included the text of Salt’s piece in Socialist Songs (1900)
The music for this song was written for a Powell’s Books - ILWU Local 5 union workers benefit compilation. The lyrics were chosen from the Little Red Book of Songs collected by the I.W.W. This piece has a nice symbolic relationship to the political motivations of the original L’Acéphale group
lyrics
Hark! The Battle-Cry Is Ringing!
Lyrics by Henry Stephens Salt
Vocals: Set Sothis Nox La & Meriel Elster
Hark! The battle-cry is ringing!
Hope within our bosoms springing,
Bids us journey forward, singing —
Death to tyrants' might!
Tho' we wield not spear nor sabre,
We the sturdy sons of Labor,
Helping every man his neighbor,
Shirk not from the fight!
See our homes before us;
Wives and babes implore us;
So firm we stand in heart and hand,
And swell the dauntless.
Men of Labor, young or hoary,
Would ye win a name in story?
Strike for home, for life, for glory!
Justice, Freedom, Right!

The album description mentions an “emotional apex.” That’s really the difference between Stare and the band’s previous albums. Ulcerate was always supremely technically proficient. I just didn’t care all that much. Their growth has come from making music you will feel. Metallurgical Fire

never been a big death metal fan but this is actually super accessible for the genre, has fun concepts, and personally i'm always a fan of albums with short tracklists and huge runtimes (for individual songs) Great time, good jumping on point for newbies too. alienasu

With their deviant kind of Black Metal, White Ward are far away from mediocre. If you’re looking for something different and sophisticated try these guys! You won‘t be disappointed! Sælzer Bub

Tout est une question de perspective.
En regardant la pochette d'Algleymi, on se dira : "c'est un constat d'échec de l'humanité face aux puissances cosmiques". Mais le gigantisme de cette silhouette est un signe que Misþyrming veut plutôt s'emparer de cette puissance et le black metal le confirmera très vite. Il est plus maîtrisé, massif et épique. Si le chant est déjà impressionnant, dégageant plus de haine, les guitares sont de leur côté absolument monumentales. Un chef-d'œuvre du genre ! Jordan Vauvert
