1.	Lungtoucher - The Heathens Approach 05:21	lyrics	buy track
Our Blood rules these lands Like our fathers before us No heathen invaders will truly take this land Their hero, lays rotting in a pit of vipers As the tyrant king rules the North. Rumours of a great army swell like the seas which they traverse Hell bent on revenge for a fathers death While civil war rages, a once proud king dethroned. They do not Heed warnings on the winds! Don the armour of their gods. Faith protects the soul But does little against the sword and spear.
2.	Lungtoucher - York Is Lost 03:32	lyrics
Longships Land, a great army marches north. Pillaging as they pass, desecration in their wake. While North Kings bicker, York is taken with ease. A great retreat. Fate forces enemies to truce, no heathens can rule the north They know their home, the weak points and passages. Their defences are weak, they cannot hold our home. They flee down streets. All is not as it seems A great army routed. A heathens trap. Great Numbers Of Northumbrians led like cattle to the slaughter. No match for Invaders savagery. York streets run red with the blood of holy men. Death of a king, capture of another. The blood eagle rite begins...
3.	Lungtoucher - A Somnium Regum 05:09	lyrics	buy track
The King is dead I dream of a United England My blood as this soil before me Under one flag I rise As I dream of a United England

about

This album was conceptualized, written, recorded and mastered between December 2020 and March 2021.

Jórvík had been founded as the Roman legionary fortress of Eboracum and was revived as the Anglo-Saxon trading port of Eoforwic. Jórvík was first captured in 866 by Ivar the Boneless, leading a large army of Scandinavian warriors, called the Great Heathen Army. They landed in East Anglia and made their way North. The historical invasion of Northumbria in 866 occurred in retaliation for Ragnarr's execution. According to Ragnarssona þáttr, King Ælla, captured the legendary Vikingr leader, Ragnarr Loðbrók and put him to death in a pit of snakes. Norse sources claim that Ragnarr's sons tortured Ælla to death by the method of the blood eagle.

This is good stuff. Comparisons to Revenant Marquis are hard to avoid. This is more easily digestible but still raw and gritty sounding. I had no problem at all letting this play while I was out and I never once got tired of any of the riffs. This is one for multiple blasts. goldgeller

Excellent raw black metal sound, done so well. The mix of that, and ambient is perfect and helps break up the sound, Eternal Black Transmissions is a masterpiece that everyone who enjoys black metal should listen to. Skek-Gra
