about album
lyrics
reviews

The creativity of NORD'N'COMMANDER are actuated by Indo-European roots. The band finds rhythmic and melodic orienting points just in them. The tough marching rhythms are Archetypes of Uebermensch’s Action. The style of album "Heavenly Barrow" is Gothic / Industrial. Gothic involves elevation of style which is expressed in doom and majestic sounds of keyboards, in something otherworldly, cold vocals. Besides Gothic is not only the historical notion but also the philosophical one. It’s the special condition of Spirit. The mission of thinking and conceiving modern people is to live in this technocratic "sub-civilization". Not only to exist passively in it, but subordinate it for themselves. If we’re here and now it’s not by accident. We have to be cultural and civilized simultaneously. This is the philosophical filling of the album. And thus some "industriality" is threaded with elevated gothic atmosphere. One can hear it quite clearly in guitar and drum sound. Creation like this is an active defence against metastases of degenerative world of the "poor in spirit". And the best defence is an onrush. In "Heavenly Barrow" there is the idea of City as a sacred centre which lives in harmony with nature and Man-Creator. Nordic Gods are breaking through the "civilization of machines and asphalt".

NORD'N'COMMANDER "Heavenly Barrow" (2002)

1. SONNENMENSCH

аNo light. Eternity is sleeping.
It's the Land where we shall sleep.
In this world we all are something creeping.
But what I have won I intend to keep.

аSometimes I can live with cosmic radiation.
When and where I decide by toss.
It leads to creation,
to domination.
The tenth avatar is ahorse.

аNow he expresses his free will with birds in flight.
He'll cosmeticize with vacuum a light-beam mesh.
At the end of time
under cloud of his night,
under cover of his fight,
as the sign of the Great Light
He'll descry the Seventh Sun. It's Sonnenmensch.

аAnd I try to live (man's life is frail)
Or want to dissolve myself in earth.
These attempts are morally bound to fail.
And then I'll announce my new birth.

аI also express my liberty with birds in flight.
He'll cosmeticize with vacuum a light-beam mesh.
At the end of time
under cloud of his night,
under cover of his fight,
as the sign of the Great Light
I'll descry the Seventh Sun. It's Sonnenmensch.

2. SHOUT OF BIRDS

аBirds' cry far in the day
Impales alpenglow without any smart.
Perhaps, they've known Heaven-High Art.
What will be the revelation of my Way?

аMy Way, sparkling with fetch-light,
Is a shout of birds at the turn of night.

аThis crack of dawn, which is my Master,
Will wake me, I'll find my divining-rod.
I'm fixing a look and I'm looking for answers...
Rotate wheels and tempt fate. I'm the searcher for the God.

аThe God, sparkling with fetch-light,
Is a shout of birds at the turn of night.

аI'll live alone without remorse,
Playing in a cloud of shadows again.
The open world will never close
My days and abate the secret pain.

аPain,sparkling with fetch-light,
Is a shout of birds at the turn of night.

аThe God, sparkling with fetch-light,
Is a shout of birds at the turn of night.

3. LISTEN TO THE EVENING

аListen to this Evening! Early candle-light
Is beating at the window. Our field night,
Our juvenility are calling us back
To the sacred Temple far from men’s track.

аIs it time for me to go away?
Oh don’t disturb our shadow play!
The thread of inspiration tears easily,
And ecstasy of light can decrease in me.

аWonderful minutes, minutes of hush
Gift us with the long-expected mystic gush.
The wind’s blowing the waves into great peaks.
Four elements are crying from our lips.

аListen to this Evening! Early candle-light
Is beating at the window. The moon-sun-star-bright
Voice of inspiration is weaving the web of life.
At last the hour arrived.
Nobody can stop our drive.
No man alive!!!

4. BLOOD OF THE VIRGIN GIRL

аI was sent as a reward for you
To kill whatever made you very blue,
To cleanse your thanatoid soul,
To help your finding a right-on hidey-hole!

аBut you went off to your chimera.
You want her blood. Is it a new love era?
You and your soul know no measure.
Your life is given up to pleasure.

аPerhaps, a woman's body is an altar, and more...
And if this altar's aspersed according to rule,
It is accessible to comprehend the Heaven-low...
But are you really going to drink it, fool?!

аDrops and litres of the impure blood
Evoke adrenalin. Wading through the mud,
You've got your mind dirty again,
And, may be, in your life it's an unexpected gain.

аI was sent as a reward for you
To kill whatever made you very blue.
And now hurry! Hasten! You are stuck
On the abyss before you. Good luck!

5. HEAVENLY BARROW

аYour eyes are liquid, cloudland of dark.
You’re the splinter of the timeless universal.
The lion of mine feels the vital spark,
Mystic ways. He is a forceful sort of person.

аWhile awaking from a dream I see
Hollow outstretch which takes off all hellhounds.
Made of nothing violent galaxy
Groans with deep, deadish, dismal sounds.

аHere is the hill, the barrow of mine.
And my ashes re-create new time.
There’s my heavenly barrow on cloud nine.
I’ve come back from there with my lion!

аI drive my dreams and night-spells through this darkness,
So wood spirits used to bear squirrels.
These are my dreams, and the rest is silence...
And a stream of lava of sun tears.

Here is the hill, the barrow of mine.
And my ashes re-create new time.
There’s my heavenly barrow on cloud nine.
I’ve come back from there with my lion!

6. SUNNY SON

аMachines are laughing in my face,
I'm opening windows in the soul.
Perhaps, I was hanged in disgrace...
And, may be, upon the telegraph pole.

аMachines do not throw a shadow.
...Ungrateful children of the human race...
I'll shelter myself under a barrow.
Machines are laughing in my face.

аWe divinified town lands.
This city had not been heaven-born,
Underground giants of our by-ends.
Our Temple, be never lorn!

аBut by means of secret mutations
(It sticks now out a mile),
Emiting a knack of electrovibrations
By the irresistible smile,
The Sunny Son will see the light.
The Sunny Son will see his light.

7. CAVE OF MY HEART

аFrom grey mountains fire flew behind,
I felt the movement of the skies.
As if having something on its mind,
A cornice glacier looked in my eyes.

аThe cave of my heart has burst up.
This mountain is the heart of the world.
I see the Temple with a stirrup cup.
I am again a Sun Bird.

аI feel power over Giant's flesh.
I'll make of his eaves the Universe.
The Raw Wound of mine stops a fresh
Of wind... I know, this dream must be traversed.

The cave of my heart has burst up.
This mountain is the heart of the world.
I see the Temple with a stirrup cup.
I am again a Sun Bird.

аFrom grey mountains fire flew behind,
It seemed to me, I had dissolved in it.
As if having something on my mind.
I came back, and again I'm on the bit.

8. TEETH OF THE HANGED

I am leaving my frail body just now,
And I'm feeling, that I am used-to-be.
Once in hundred years I take a bow
On a scaffold, a carnifex cripples me.

I was crucified in the Empire Rome.
In Europe of the Inquisition I was aflame.
Witches hunted for me in my funeral home.
My teeth went up in price. Bad name...
What a shame!

A beauty came into the hypogeum
And stuck her sharp finger nails in my teeth.
May be she whispered her infernal Te Deum.
I heard her laugh. She was again full of pith.

With every moment of alchemic affair
I try to call back unclouded days.
But I feel only this bad chilly air.
My mind is moving off to deep space.

I was crucified in the Empire Rome.
In Europe of the Inquisition I was aflame.
Witches hunted for me in my funeral home.
My teeth went up in price. Bad name...
What a shame!

9. CONTENTION

I understand: this world has forgotten me.
Who has died, that never lived. I try
To take refuge in Self-consistency.
I hurry to retire from death to retire.

I feel the wish to sing hymns and then some...
Want to be like a prophet, not flat tire.
We came into this world to overcome
The deep contention of fate with desire.

It is a step to giving birth to skies,
And in myself the most sacred glisten.
The coronet is above the all-in prices.
Eternity is whispering us. Listen!

Spirit world darkens the world.
Our world is only a totlot.

I feel the wish to sing hymns and then some...
Want to be like a prophet, not flat tire.
We came into this world to overcome
The deep contention of fate with desire.
