lyrics

BRETHREN OF THE COAST

A love of looting ships
And a lust for slitting throats
Hate for authority
The Brethren of the Coast
Keep your conduct to the code
May the wind be in your sails
Hold your oaths or lose a tongue
Dead men tell no tales

Cast your lots together
Burn a thousand boats
Hoist the black flag higher
The Brethren of the Coast
They pillage and they plunder
The riches of the water
Stain the seas with blood

Brothers of the sea
Deal in treachery
Sail into the night
Fortunes shining bright

Keep your rudder firm
And stay the course
Bring them in range
And then enforce
The mighty blast of cannon
With smoke of blunderbuss

Fear not the endless volley
Of lead shot past your body
Fight like men of salt
Take the cutlass to their throat

Seize the ship and burn it
Or add her to the fleet
The Brethren of the coast
Death before defeat!

Brothers of the sea
Deal in treachery
Sail into the night
Fortunes shining bright

I'm not normally the biggest fan of Power Metal, but for some reason I will always enjoy Visigoth. Final Spell is a great EP that can always get your blood pumping in a fun way. The vocals are easily my favorite part. Definitely an album that every Power Metal fan should listen to. Wound of Briccius

Pretty much the best Black/Speed Metal I've listened to since I learned about Evil Invaders and Vulture. Everything you'd love to be reminded of about this musical era is there. The influences are what you'd expect too: Motörhead, Venom, Bathory, early Slayer, Celtic Frost; aggressive vocals, tortured guitar solos, pounding drums; everything is fast, clear and still a little grimy, but without reverb cranked up to the max. Amazing band, amazing album. Odiumediae
