mina_walkure In love with this album! The previous one was a perfect album and the expectations were very high, but this one does not disappoint!

Great use of that neo-classical flavor with Swedish flag behind, accompanied by impeccable guitars and one of the best voices of this generation. Favorite track: One By One.

Henrik Thøgersen This album hits me right in the feels. From the fist-pumping thrill of Thunderblood to the heroic pathos of Lionheart and the rousing freedom cry of Let the Kingdom Burn, Fatal Encounter moves the blood, tugs at the heartstrings, and gets the goosebumps going. Almost impossible to pick a favorite track. I’ve been blasting it on iTunes since its release, but was happy to add it to my Bandcamp too. Album of the year for me, I’ve no doubt about it! Favorite track: Lionheart.

Thunderblood 04:55
Thunderblood Thunderblood In too deep, too far gone I keep on moving on from town to town taking higher ground Burning rebel hearts, wild and free searching our destiny We’re beating as one, till the setting sun Living hard, loving free with the wind Never know just what tomorrow brings Day by day, heart to heart on the run No can stop me I got thunder raging in my blood Renegade, no man's land I roam the desert sand So close to the edge, just about to fly Now the heat is on, dusk till dawn It never ends and I’ll be banging my head Till I drop down dead Living hard, loving free with the wind Never know just what tomorrow brings Day by day, heart to heart on the run No can stop me I got thunder raging in my blood Thunderblood I’m a rider of the storm
 Thunderblood 
Rider of the storm Thunderblood Oh, it's a hell of a ride Solo: Andy Living hard, loving free with the wind Never know just what tomorrow brings Day by day, heart to heart on the run No can stop me Thunderblood Living hard, loving free with the wind Day by day. heart to heart on the run No can stop me I got thunder raging in my blood

Lionheart 05:10
Another day, the sun beating down like blazing hellfire We’re marching on through the land so far away Will you remember me, when the war is over Oh no, don’t let us perish all in vain God knows, if we will live through the night Just go, you got the courage to stand and fight Now it’s kill or be killed With a Lion heart Out in the fields I feel no fear Soon as the darkness drawing near Carry me, Lion heart through the front line, steel on steel On our final crusade I’m still alive, the rush of adrenaline exploding And I’m falling down to my knees in a silent prayer For the holy cause, what's the price we’re paying? Hold on, we’re getting closer to the light God knows, if we will live through the night Just go, you got the courage to stand and fight Now it’s kill or be killed With a lion heart Out in the fields I feel no fear Soon as the darkness drawing near Carry me, Lion heart through the front line, steel on steel On our final crusade Solo: Magnus / Andy / Magnus / Andy Hold the line Taking ‘em on Chorus

In Solitude 04:22
Sometimes the walls fall down I feel like the king who has lost his crown Nowhere to run, no more fooling around On an ocean of tears Under moonlit skies The wind grow stronger In solitude I will survive this break up with you In solitude And carry on through Hiding the pain inside Screaming your name but the love has died I will return from the darkness and lies As I’m facing the truth and I realize No more denying In solitude I will survive this break up with you In solitude and carry on through Oh, in solitude I’m gonna rule the world without you The promise was only a lie now we’re through Solo: Andy / Magnus Chorus Solo: Andy

You thrill me It’s just a roll of the dice Then kill me One step away from the price I seek, To find the gold that turned into dust It’s slipping through my fingers It’s closing in As night’s falling deeper by the hour I’m on the edge of a dream Can’t tell, oh, what is real I’m fading in, fading out On and on Don’t bring me the dawn, as I rise to above and beyond In twilight Out of a dream that is gone Subconscious flights shoot of straight into the unknown To gun me down, at the breaking of the day I descend into madness Again and again As night’s falling deeper by the hour I’m on the edge of a dream Can’t tell, oh, what is real I’m fading in, fading out On and on Don’t bring me the dawn, as I rise to above and beyond Dream on, through the night Dream on, my friend Dream on, eternally Enter the shadows Solo: Magnus / Andy Chorus

Had it with the man, time to make a stand We’re in this fight together And just as we’ve been told, prophecy unfolds Change is in the weather The choices that we make, they’ll live forever more, as we’ll be heroes Say, commander in charge, lay down your arms Or dare you watch as the tables turn Cause freedom will ring, out of ashes rise we let the kingdom burn Dawn is on the rise, it’s a brand new day Hail the revolution The king has lost his head, tyranny is dead Is it merely an illusion, no See it time and time again It’s inevitable, how history repeats You see, commanders will change but the fight remains From our past, tell me, what have we learned And freedom still ring, out of ashes rise as we let the kingdom burn Solo: Andy We’ll fight till the end Through the fire and rain Break the ball and chain And blood is gonna spill Through our power and will To take it back we let the kingdom burn We let the kingdom burn Commander in charge, lay down your arms Last chance, I say commander in charge, lay down your arms or we'll let the kingdom burn

One By One 03:56
Out of time and into the night We ride, ride to the morning light Getting ready for action This is our freedom call Now we’re standing in line 
Waiting for our paradise All for one We take what we need Straight on, head into lightning speed The fate’s in our hands under my fearless command See us standing in line Waiting for our paradise And you will face the fury Under crimson skies Taking one (taking one) By one (by one) Now the battle rages on It’s an eye (it’s an eye) For an eye (for an eye) We are taking one by one On the loose, unleashed in the wild We strike, nowhere to run or hide The thrill of the kill A fatal encounter We are brothers in arms Waiting for our paradise And you will face the fury
Under crimson skies Taking one (taking one) By one (by one) Now the battle rages on It’s an eye (it’s an eye) For an eye (for an eye) We are taking one by one Solo: Magnus / Andy 
 Chorus
