SAYS THE BAND:
“Woodsman” is a journey into the wild. An evocative blend of crushing heaviness and contemplative stillness. The track draws from the worlds of doom, sludge, and progressive metal, yet carves its own path with moments of unexpected softness, where soulful textures and rare, almost ceremonial vocals emerge like voices in the forest.
Lyrically, “Woodsman” steps away from the trappings of civilization and into the primal embrace of the natural world. Inspired by reclusive wilderness dwellers of myth and memory, it reflects on renunciation, survival, and rediscovery. The forest becomes both teacher and healer, a place where rage, instinct, and feral energy intertwine with wonder, reverence, and ancestral wisdom. Its dynamic shifts mirror the experience of stepping into the unknown, sometimes violent, sometimes serene, always alive.
With “Woodsman”, the band conjures an elemental soundscape that invites listeners to abandon the familiar, embrace the instinctual, and walk deeper into the uncharted wilderness.
LYRICS
As we graze in the clearing
Heart of the ecosystem beating
So the primeval council amass
Call to the rhythm morass
Led into the bracken
It is so familiar here
Forest is a teacher, healer
Exploration without fear
Discovering signs of wildfolk
Rest with the woodland spirits
Rage against the dying of the light
The forest comes alive at night
Feral
Instinct
Bestial
Instinct
Our spirit animal
Bond builds fonder
As we explore
Discovery and wonder
Abandon all personal effects
Walk in ancestral steps
With purpose just, true, and right
seek Wisdom for insight
