Just when you think it's lost
And it's over and done
Take a good look around
You're not the only one
The will to fight is almost gone
And you think there's no way to win
Then the radio starts playing your song
And just like that you're back in
You're not alone
Were all in this fight
It's a scary ride
Just hanging on to life
You're not alone
We're children of the night
It's hard to see in the dark
But we are the light
We can't hold on to the past
If we want to move forward
We have to live with the scars
And carry on
We gotta let go of the past
If we're going to move forward
If we want to be free
We must carry on
Why can't I just be fine knowing that
It's my time to live life, to live life
Why can't we let it be embrace time
That we have it's all we, all we have
Passing through space
Trying to survive
We're all trapped in this place
No one gets out alive
Just Live For Today
For Right Now Exist
Don't fear death just enjoy every breath
Everything life may bring it's not too late
Don't fear death just enjoy every breath
Everything life may bring it's never too late
Take a look at what you have
It might be all you need
Waste no time you hold the key

Mourn The Light, High Priest, Ice Howl, Archdruid join forces to unleash 4-way split album
Four hungry bands from the New Wave of Traditional Heavy Metal underground, each taking a different approach and putting their own spin on doom, have come together to showcase new material in the form of a nine-song split album, which will be released independently on Nov. 24, 2023.
Leading the charge is Connecticut’s Mourn The Light with two brand-new songs in “We Are the Light” and “No One Gets Out Alive.” Highlighted by the band’s signature catchy hooks and crushing riffs, the new songs see the band further expanding its hybrid of doom, power metal and NWOTHM soundscapes, never completely sticking to one style but always evolving and progressing.
Since its inception in 2017, Mourn The Light has played stages far and wide in the heavy metal underground, including festivals such as the Stormbringer Metal Festival, SXSW Stoner Jam 19, New England Stoner and Doom Festival and RPM Festival, and has embarked on tours covering large portions of both the United States and Canada. In 2020, the band signed a worldwide deal with Argonauta Records in Italy and has since released a full-length album in 2021 and an EP in 2022, with production in the works for another full-length in 2024.
Next comes High Priest, an epic doom metal force emerging from the mists of British Columbia, Canada, making its recording debut with “In the Hall of the High Priest,” “The Wizard’s Gold” and “Old Men and Their Lies,” each a weighty dirge of heavy, stoner-infused doom. Guided by the immense riffs of Curtis Baycroft (Napalm Vomit) and featuring the charismatic vocals of Tyler Anderson (Gatekeeper, Odinfist), High Priest is poised to carve its niche and make its presence known in the realm of heavy metal.
Drawing inspiration not only from legends such as Candlemass and Solitude Aeturnus but also from the hazy realms of stoner doom, High Priest is crafting a distinctive sonic tapestry that promises to be a mesmerizing fusion of thunderous riffs and melodic intricacies permeated by a hazy, stoner-infused aura.
Prepare to be drawn into a world of melodic grandeur and unbridled aggression as Ice Howl’s electrifying performances of “Silent Resistance” and “Final Stand of the Third Age” transport you to new realms in the heavy metal universe. Hailing from Bloomington, Indiana, the band is comprised of metal scene veterans Zebah Latifi, Jason Roach, Mark Jackson and Kyle Wilcher, who have united behind their combined experience and passion to bring an unparalleled level of power to the world of heavy metal with their mix of power, traditional and stoner metal.
All members of Ice Howl have been active in the metal scene for many years, honing their craft and earning the respect of fans and peers alike. Now, they come together to channel their collective talent and experience to inject power into power metal. With an unwavering commitment to their craft, the members of Ice Howl are ready to unleash their immense power and solidify their position as a dominant force in heavy metal.
Closing out the album are “Green Outlaw” and “Niseag,” two brand-new songs from New Hampshire’s Archdruid, blending traditional doom metal with ’70s hard rock and New Wave of British Heavy Metal while incorporating themes of mythology and folklore.
Archdruid was formed by guitarist Paul Lennon and drummer Dylan Lee, former members of traditional metal band Reckless Force, after being influenced to start a project in the vein of Pagan Altar, Black Sabbath, Rainbow and Blood Ceremony. The pair would eventually meet vocalist Emily Waltz through medieval reenactment and knew that her style of performing would translate well to the type of music they were looking to play. The trio would join forces with local New Hampshire musicians Brandon Ward (lead guitar) and Chris Nichols (bass) to solidify the lineup, and the rest is history.
Vinyl, CD and cassette formats will be available through each of the bands.

At one moment delivering crushingly massive riffs, only to jump at the next turn, galloping along with shades of classic
power metal taking hold and leading the way. All the while focused on incredibly memorable songs, with catchy hooks and singalong choruses.
