Dialing up a bit of Manilla Road this Metal Friday, one of the most swordly-and-sorcerous metal bands ever.
I love the atmosphere of "Mystification." Mark Shelton sounds like an evil sorcerer out of a Clark Ashton Smith story here.
Through the winds of time
A poet found The Key
To The Elder Rhyme
Some call the song mystic
With tales of gore
And terror in the night
His words, no more,
Have kept me mystified
Someone in an online group posted that they fail to see the aesthetic connection between metal and S&S (?) Sarcasm doesn't always come across well on the internet so I hope this was a case of crossed wires ... otherwise this is a really bad take.
Mystification is basically Weird Tales with guitars.
Manilla Road also has a song called ... Queen of the Black Coast.
Manowar exists.
I've got nothing else.
