Hook0210 I rarely buy digital-only releases, but this was to strong too pass by. Really hope to see a vinyl version be released in the future!

PKMetal Wow. This whole album is a ★★★★ release of catchy, epic/doom-tinged heavy/power metal with massive riffs and superb vocals. But special mention has to go to the Virgin Steele cover. Pre-2001 VS is one of my top 3 bands in metal history, and to me this cover equals the original. It gave me chills, and by the end I was actually crying for Pompeii. Hail to the kings and queen of Serbian metal! Favorite track: The Burning of Rome (Cry for Pompeii).

darkfate It's very hard to find this kind of Heavy Metal, those days. The feeling i got when i listen to this album.. is the same as back in the 80s , when Heavy Metal was magic. 10 out of 10..easy . Favorite track: Mystical Realm (Deorum in absentia).

The night is approaching I left all my old dreams to die Soon I'll be facing their rage A soul god’s forsaken Even in death there's no peace No mercy asked No mercy given this time Summon the legions of hell Raising the dead from the graves No one escaped from their fate And I know it's too late Hunter of the damned I follow their leader A sinister gaze in his eyes Drawn by the soul of the brave Fearless, unconquered I feel as my blood pounds aloud Blade meets the bone This is the end of his line Summon the legions of hell Raising the dead from the graves No one escaped from their fate And I know it's too late Hunter of the damned 1st solo: Urosh 2nd solo: Vlad Summon the legions of hell Raising the dead from the graves No one escaped from their fate And I know it's too late Hunter of the damned Damned

Of all the beings that are called divine One eclipses over brightest stars Pride has brought him to rebellious plot Soon to fall for the deeds he wrought Morning Star and the son of dawn Doomed to fail from the seeds he sewn Armies gather for the war on high Thundering over blackened skies Can you feel 'em as their wrath is drawing closer Can you see them as they're coming from above For this treason they will suffer unto no end They will die for their sins in Battle in the sky solo: Urosh Heed the glorious battle Feel the power of metal See an infinite kingdom Rise to believe in Can you feel 'em as their wrath is drawing closer Can you see them as they're coming from above For this treason they will suffer unto no end They will die for their sins in Battle in the sky solo: Vlad & Urosh

Far from paradise where the winds of war are blowing freely In my tired eyes run the bloody hosts of Ares' slaughter Face to face with fear and death and hate Time to say goodbye, draw your last breath for I conquer When I die in your arms One child born to carry on Darling don't delay for they're rushing from a thousand thrones now Cry another day when the memory brings you back the vision Tonight I die but my life is in you On my way but I wanna touch you, wanna love you When I die in your arms One child born to carry on One nation, one kingdom, one child survives One nation, one kingdom, one child survives I'll meet you again through the eyes of our son Remember to tell him the price we had to pay And cry for Pompeii Cry for Pompeii solo: Vlad Far from paradise where the winds of war are blowing freely In my tired eyes run the bloody hosts of Ares' slaughter Face to face with fear and death and hate Burning wraiths, draw your last breath for I conquer When I die in your arms One child born to carry on One nation, one kingdom, one child survives One nation, one kingdom, one child survives I'll meet you again through the eyes of our son Remember to tell him the price we had to pay And cry for Pompeii Cry for Pompeii And the burning of Rome See the tears I'll meet you again Through the eyes of our son I'll return Open the gates I'm coming home tonight Black tears will fall And the flames will crack the sky Oh I see you cry I'm calling you... Calling… Open the gates, I’m coming home Black tears will fall from your eyes…

On a quest for peace and freedom From the depths of Valusian sea Raging sound of an endless glory For the ones who believe Fought with sword of fire and lightning Honored grace he did endure From the Island of Damnation Brought the light to the pure And I hear the call From the Gods of Old Prophecy foretold Titans fought when King returned To the courts of Avalon And our future's not so cold New religion is born Dragon Star on the Far Side of the Sun The Gates are opened wide Mystified on the Ninth Wave we will ride And hail the Lords of Light And I hear the call From the Gods of Old Prophecy foretold 1st solo: Urosh 2nd solo: Goran 3rd solo: Vlad NOW ARISE ALL YE FAITHFUL TO THE SWORD And hail the Lords of Light Hear my oath, know that this is not the end And sail into the night Now we hail the Lords of Light All hail to the Lords of Light

Screams in the dead of night Flames burning till the morning light Pain has ended with the dawn Curse on all of those who did her wrong Final gaze up high All her hope withered and died Now bear the mark Devil’s child Born of fire and ice Torment and hate on your fate You are spirit of merciless time solo: Vlad Cries spreading through the wild Fear echoes in her heart and mind Wrath brought upon the world Doom on all of those who did her wrong Her pain knows no time No time All her sins repentance denied Now bear the mark Devil’s child Born of fire and ice Torment and hate on your fate You are spirit of merciless time Someday you'll find a way To leave it all behind Just open your eyes You'll stand up You'll rise solo: Urosh Now bear the mark Devil’s child Born of fire and ice Torment and hate on your fate You are spirit of merciless time

Do you feel like the world doesn't need you? Do you hear when the winds call your name? Do you know how it feels to be able To face your pain with the fears you create? Can't you see that you don’t have an answer? You’ve been lying to yourself High above in the realm of the mystical light Silence waits all your prayers you’ve been telling at night Fearing, waiting for the signs obscured We are all alone in the realm of the mystical light Do you feel all your dreams have been broken? Do you hear when they play with your mind? Do you know how to silence their voices? Or you’re led by the blind? High above in the realm of the mystical light Silence waits all your prayers you’ve been telling at night Fearing, waiting for the signs obscured We are all alone in the realm of the mystical light solo: Vlad Every kingdom falls nothing is forever Shadow takes us all into the void Walk upon your way serve no man or god Fear won't take away a voice of your soul High above in the realm of the mystical light Silence waits all your prayers you’ve been telling at night Fearing, waiting for the signs obscured We are all alone in the realm of the mystical light guest solo: Vladimir Novakovic

Her fate has been sealed Since the day she was born Taken away all too young Raised to protect a religion of old Taught to believe she's the one Serve the Nameless Ones In the tombs of the night Priestess is reborn Forever alone Exploring the Place And the secrets it holds Only by sense of her touch Never again she'll believe in their lies When the light opens her eyes Serve the Nameless Ones In the tombs of the night Priestess is reborn Forever alone in the dark Forever alone 1st solo: Urosh 2nd guest solo: Vladimir Novakovic Serve the Nameless Ones In the tombs of the night Priestess is reborn Forever alone Serve the Nameless Ones In the tombs of the night Priestess is reborn Forever in the dark

From beyond of the village fields Way over the hills yet unknown Dwelled for thousands of shining moons Where age after age has gone by Nightmares Defined as visions by the Elders A legend foretold by their fathers In turn their fathers witnessed endless pain Oh, the stories be retold Let the black wings rise again By the gods of light you let us endure May its fearless heart know fear in the end Cast of shadows above the crowns Has blackened the sun in the sky The hunger echoes into our souls The end of time has been tolled Gather Our hearts are filled with burning vengeance Avenge the lost souls of our brothers Who fought for freedom from the dragon’s reign Let the black wings’ blood run red By the bodkin arrow let it bleed out Fearless warriors on the march in the dawn The fire lights up and the battle is raging Hundreds are burning alive Dragon must fall by a shattering stormspell Now is the time to stab its dark heart with the sword of the gods solo: Cederick Forsberg Blinding trails of flames and horror Left behind the giant from the black smoke ridden skies Grip of grief is suffocating Enter lust for vengeance in their hearts solo: Cederick Forsberg Lighting strikes in the distant skies The fire dragon is gone As they turn around for a journey home Another one stands in their way Gather Our hearts are filled with burning vengeance Avenge the lost souls of our brothers Who fought for freedom from the dragon’s reign Let the black wings’ blood run red By the bodkin arrow let it bleed out Fearless warriors on the march in the dawn The fire lights up and the battle is raging Hundreds are burning alive The dragon must fall by a shattering stormspell Now is the time to stab its dark heart The fire lights up and the battle is raging Hundreds are burning alive Dragon must fall by a shattering stormspell Now is the time to stab its dark heart with the sword of the gods Let the black wings rise again from the fire

Reviews:

"Eulogy for the Gods” is one of the best records ever written in Serbia and it could stand side by side with other bands from US or Europe! Some parts are just marvelous and god-like, that you just didn’t expect to be from any of Serbian bands or Balkan groups, and I am really curious how the worldwide metal community gonna now react when they have a chance to visit the entire album themselves. From my personal point of view this is masterpiece! I think that Claymorean should be the first Serbian band that should appear on keep it True festival, it would be a blast!" (Metal Sound Magazine)

"There’s something very satisfying and grounding about tradition. As far out and diverse as metal gets, it’s refreshing to find your way back to its roots. And it’s really rewarding when those roots are given both respect and just enough freshening up, as Claymorean does here." (Female Fronted Power)

"Without the need to increase the speed of the songs, EULOGY FOR THE GODS is an album that allows us to appreciate the excellent state in which this band is, a band that we could consider cult and that fortunately continues to make music with notable success in its own scene." (Metal-Rules)

"Sve u svemu, Claymorean ni ovaj put nije razočarao. To je i potpuno očekivano, ako ste upućeni u dosadašnji rad grupe. Napredak je više nego evidentan od albuma do albuma, i sigurno je reći da je bend stasao u respektabilnu heavy metal mašineriju koja se bez problema nosi sa sličnim sastavima u internacionalnoj areni. Eulogy for the Gods će sasvim izvesno naići na pozitivne reakcije fanova ovog zvuka, a meni ostaje još da pogledam sve ovo i uživo prvom prilikom." (Serbian Metal Portal)

"Claymorean długo kazał czekać na nową muzykę w swoim wykonaniu,ale powiem że warto było czekać. W zamian dostaliśmy klasyczny, dobrze wyważony album, w którym nie brakuje ciekawych i wpadających w ucho melodii, no a dodatek wokal Dejany to prawdziwy skarb. Gorąco polecam!" (Power Metal Warrior)

"Ο δίσκος στο σύνολό του ακούγεται πολύ ευχάριστα χωρίς ποτέ να πλατειάζει ή να καταφεύγει σε ανούσιες υπερβολές κι εφήμερους εντυπωσιασμούς. Οι συνθέσεις του σου δίνουν αυτή την αίσθηση του γνώριμου και του οικείου χωρίς, όμως, να αναμασούν στείρα παλιές και κλασσικές ιδέες. Αντίθετα διαθέτουν φρεσκάδα και ποικιλία. Τέλος και η παραγωγή είναι καθαρή, δυναμική και δίνει στον ήχο του συγκροτήματος μια 80’ς αισθητική χωρίς να ακούγεται επιτηδευμένη.
Συμπερασματικά, λοιπόν, μπορώ να πω ότι οι CLAYMOREAN προσφέρουν έναν δίσκο που ακούγεται ευχάριστα, έχει καλές στιγμές και σίγουρα μπορεί να προσφέρει αρκετές συγκινήσεις σε όσους αγαπούν τον κλασσικό heavy/power metal ήχο." (Metal Zone)
