“Desolate Lands” delivers powerful symphonic power metal with fast, militant rhythms, massive orchestral arrangements and epic melodies rooted in the classic ’80s and ’90s tradition. The track blends dark atmospheres with cinematic tension, featuring the commanding vocals of Giacomo Rossi and the operatic soprano of Martina Mazzeo.

The song is taken from the fantasy concept album “The Battle Of The Dead”, a story set in a world devastated by a mysterious plague that corrupts the soul, leading to a final clash between the living and the dead. The album explores themes of power, betrayal, sacrifice and hope.
Mixed and mastered by Alessio Garavello at Rogue Studios, London.

LYRICS:

Desolate lands are all that remains
All that you see is the price to be paid
The King of Eversun sacrificed himself
For us, for our children, but we mourn the dead

When the shadows came out from their lair
With a shine a lightning flashed up there
All illusions vanished from our way
When the Sun swept the Evil away

They’ll never come again
The souls we lost when
The fire of hell
Was burning on desolate lands
A Black Sun is shining out there
Reminding us that
It’s the end of the Battle of the Dead

At what cost for all our folks
Our fathers and women gone
Delusion mixed with mourning pain
For the people killed in vain

They’ll never come again
The souls we lost when
The fire of hell
Was burning on desolate lands
A Black Sun is shining out there
Reminding us that
Our King will never come back

Hail to the King who gave his life

King of Spine is dead!
Now we are at peace

We will never forget how we came out of darkness
This war will leave us deep scars
Let’s hold each other tight and glad to be alive
Our brothers live in our minds

But they’ll never come again
The souls we lost when
The fire of hell
Was burning on desolate lands
A Black Sun is shining out there
Reminding us that
It’s the end of the Battle of the Dead

ABOUT:
Inspired by the Edgar Allan Poe’s novel ‘The Raven’, the Milan, Italy, based band was originally formed in 2007 by the mind of keyboardist and composer Davide Scuteri (Choirs Of Veritas). After several years of activity, which included a self-titled demo, the band went on a brief hiatus, re-grouping in 2016 when singer Chiara Tricarico (Sound Storm, Moonlight Haze), drummer Michele Olmi (Chronosfear, Skeletoon) and bass/guitar player Cesare Ferrari (Choirs Of Veritas) joined the band, in order to create a one-time studio album that embodies the whole history of the band.

With ‘Transcendence’, RAVENWORD captures the romantic and decadent poetic themes typical of Edgar Allan Poe’s period, combined with an equally decadent symphonic metal sound. In line with RAVENWORD’s ode to poetry, the title ‘Transcendence’ was chosen to symbolize the idea of always going beyond one’s perception of reality and seeking deeper meanings.
