Breaking waves through the oceans
Yelling war songs in their white‐carved horns
Loudly, they move forward, like a windstorm
Greed is what it guides them, they learnt no more
Sharp swords stack the dead corps in the harbor
At nightfall fortress will collapse and fall
Flawless, in a world reigned by disorder
Vikings are claiming the crown
Running through the alleys, burning churches
There’s no place for faith when they slay your god
Frightened little children going nowhere
Better off be quiet when they approach your door
Any trace of your past soon will be gone
Banished without mercy from where you belong
Graveyards as the shelters for the damned souls
Vikings are claiming the crown
If you like music that’s even remotely heavy, this EP is for you. It’s hard rock, heavy metal, doom metal, stoner rock, and so much more. My only question is this: WHEN WILL SONIC MEDUSA RECORD AGAIN? Kirk Gauthier
Released to coincide with Ripple Music's 2018 SXSW showcase, a number of these bands have gained real traction in the ensuing months. The legendary swampy heavy rock of Wo Fat needs no introduction and is well represented here. As is the furious hard-rock of Mothership, whose real star is their lead guitarist -- some awesome soloing on display. Elsewhere, The Watchers and Steak show the abundance of talent on the Ripple roster, with this sampler barely scratching the surface. Logen Ninefingers
