Monday, November 11: Excalion, "Dream Alive"

One thing that might distinguish Finnish power metal groups from their German counterparts was the greater prevalence of keyboards, and Excalion certainly seemed to emphasize the Casio frippery as much as the melodramatic vocals on “Man Alive”.  To be sure, there was plenty of sturdy riffing and steady drumming, and for those most part those elements drove the track, but the keyboard solo arguably took up more space than the shredding (it certainly felt that way), and the vocals, soaring as they were, more often hinted at drama than actually conveyed it.  “Man Alive” was fine for what it was, and that Excalion had actually returned from a lengthy absence indicated they knew their sound but were also maybe dusting off the cobwebs a bit.

Now wake up, hear the birds sing your song

Go down the path, what you've waited all along

Where the sun meets your eyes, your mind is set at ease

There's no goodbyes, just a warm summer breeze

[heavy-metal-roleplay-memes]

"Bad dreams appear to me as cloudy haze" "I was never meant to lead but to follow" "We are... like a double shining shooting star" "Are there no stronger winds for me to ride?" "Patience is a thing that we don’t have" "We rush into things that we don’t understand" "Now I will know – there’s much more than this" "The knowledge does not bring the wisdom of this game" "They make their choice, to not even try" "Is it is too late? I am losing time" "Look at yourself, this road’s a dead end" "Can anyone tell, what has happened?" "Who will come, running to me when the moment is told?" "The darkness grows near there’s no moment to lose" "Everyone else is inferior" "To ignore the voice of yours always makes me feel superior" "I shall answer no calls" "Standing tall I pictured myself" "Show me how much will burn with me" "This task was burden" "The goal is near but I lose all the answers" "I promised to keep you safe, for eternity" "Here in the end I pray you still keep forth!" "It was I who left you down" "There’s no life in the void" "How different are the doors and walkways when it’s dark outside" "I crossed a line and now it’s time for another night" "Words seem to be in vain" "I get the strongest boards to block all of my windows tight" "And still I’m far, further from home than ever before" "My silent guest again returns uncalled for to crash my gate" "Can’t recall what I’ve said or done" "Lost within myself can’t find any place to hideaway from myself" "A bitter feeling in my mind devastates me" "In rising waters, a new beginning" "Silently I can hear them speak to me" "Come forth high water, come forth new life" "The stranger who once was lost has arrived into a haven" "I spend a rare moment in serenity" "I was told to look behind the eyes but it seems our vision is not clear" "Between the lines there are some things I never want to hear" "I tried to convince myself that the feeling was true" "The stage is set and the plot is cruel" "Some day we must learn how to not destroy, divide and rule" "Teach me to beat against the wind, to not run aground!" "They won’t see what lays ahead" "Have you heard the sound of the wind? Heard the voices that it carries?" "You felt the age of the field. Learned the secrets that beneath are buried" "No fear, my boys, they say. Marching with the flags of thousand" "Much was paid in blood" "Soaking ground makes me cry" "Last night around, around the table of love and warmth"
