Dead Pine Swamps Dead Pine Swamps
I came up with this one on the fly, I wanted to make another song and had no inspiration... so I thought about how much the swampy areas suck real bad in the spring. It's all wet and gross and you get stuck in mud easily. Disgusting.
Of Ice Blades and Blackened Earth Of Ice Blades and Blackened Earth
This was an experiment on how well I could orchestrate about 10 different keyboards going at once. Overall it's probably the best song on the album, and it's about ice storms ripping over black cliffs and wretched landscape. Grim indeed.
Burnt Fields of Battle Burnt Fields of Battle
I had to do it. What's black metal without the Norsemen vs Christians stereotype? A riff me and my old band Erebor came up with, and it sounded really epic and I didn't want it to go to waste.
Pale Boreal Wastelands Pale Boreal Wastelands
This song is all about how freaking cold it is up in Canada, and I know we're not a wasteland we reek of trees, but it sure feels like it sometimes doesn't it?
Blackflies Blackflies
This song is about the horrid swarms of blackflies in the spring and summer ,around the swampier areas of Ontario. Fvkking evil little bastards.
