INNER BATTLE (NEW CD)

How to escape from this abyss?

Which path to follow through darkness?

I´m feeling more dead than alive

Way to destruction

That faces

And imprisons me

Keeps me in the dark

Scourged by guilt

For this confused battle

That only reminds me of the errors

And the dark wars of the life

Imprisoning me in the chains of guilt

In this rain of inverse values

Condemned me for a moment

Or through darkness that I don´t know out

Neither feeling the right time to cry

To repent and continue

´Cause I´m imprisoned

In this battle

Against darkness

Of selfishness

That consumes me

And makes me live

In a daily fight for the light

PAST HURTS

Some tears are much more than omens of pain

Or an open wound in the soul is

Much larger than the blood that drips

The mountain is high and steep

Past sins haunts me

Obstacles and fear bring me down

Slaughtered and wounded in the ground

This occult path probes me

Bringing in me moments of pain

A past and distant joy

Reaping winds sowed by the breeze

 

I search the cross

Although the wound in my soul still bleeds

Defined and sealed target

With the grace like a compass, map and direction

Living danger and obstacles

I walk in the midst of battles and moments of pain

I go ahead ´cause the day is next

I fight strongly, the day has come

SILENT MUSIC STUDIO

BLOODY SCREAM (NEW CD)

Slaughtered soldier
Although wounded
He´s not defeated
Stand up for fight
Body bleeding
Staunch the wound
Returns to war
The battle is won
But doesn´t stop
The fight goes on
But don´t be afraid
General goes ahead
He was never beaten
Get up, Warrior
Hold the sword
With blood and pain
The war goes on
Fear dominates
Onward, ahead
The scream echoes
With a shout of victory
Shed on the cross
Was given by God
Given himself without remorse
Gave His life for love
Taught the truth
Conquering the sin, death and pain

Review: Hawthorn - Thorns and Blood

FALL (NEW CD)

Between fall

Through blood

Going on injuried

Senseless

Living the fear

Half dead

Following paths

Nocturnal and mysterious

No reason

But hopeful

To abandon this sin one day

And a powerful sun to shine

And warm-up

This nocturnal chest

Darkened by fall

And fatal disobedience

That swallows us

Everyday

And consumes us

I search the light

And escape from darkness everyday

Waiting for the time´s victory

Where the wound don´t stop bleeding

And this life will be a mere memory

SILENT WAR (NEW CD)

Watching the red blood sky

While injured bodies are spread on the ground

I love this fleeting life

While my life is dripping from my hands

This fight

Finished the hope

The sword killed all the life

While soldiers fall to the ground

This dark battle increases

It´s falls are seen without glory

While the pain consumes me in silently

This war of interests and power

That finishes the breathe and direction

I feel I´m brought to the wind

I find myself defeated without mercy

Warring alone in silence

This own fight for the life

Where everything is common

 The way is ever longer

I fight against all the discouragement

I search strength from the heights

I remember the death on the cross

Searching strengths in His sacrifice

I take the narrow and broken way

Returning to the war that God sent me

PREMISE FOR WAR (NEW CD, COMING SOON)

Premise for War

In this bitter infinite cold

With the last breath before the battle

The wind sighs

A warrior hiding his fear

Maybe his last deep register

From lifetimes or failures

The memories of the taste of angry

And the war that almost harvests

The moments of so sweet memories

And embitters everyday

Turn you in a helpless soldiers          

Enslaved without any reason

From innocent turns guilty

Just an actor living a mistake

Turns the life in a little stage

These human beings without force

Take care only about their passions

Little by little destroying their souls

Living from fear in this cold

Escaping from fight

Searching for someone guilty

THE LAST MARCH (NEW CD)

In the dark and bloody horizon

Ahead I see the flags

Trumpets of war resonates

Sheathed sword is girt

Warrior in front already march         

Deep silence, it´s time

Their sweated faces of afraid

The enemy is near, go

The hear trembles and resists

Fear dominates the mind

Their bodies vacillate unpunished

The smell of death is unscathed

Chorus

Courage

The time is next

In front

Nothing can detain us

This time

Of blood and justice

All the evil

Is paying his faults

This living sword

Powerful Word

That reveals all the faults and failures

Nothing can keep on hidden

From the eyes of fire

This won war

With blood poured on the cross

MAKING OF/CD SWORD'S PATH

REVIEW OF THE CD,THE METAL RESOURCE WEBZINE

Hawthorn is a symphonic extreme metal band from Brazil that has signed a multi-label recording contract with Sullen Records and Intense Millennium Records.  
The line-up is Amanda (vocals), Keisie (guitar), Totti (keyboards), Wilian (bass) and Guilherme (drums & vocals).
They are influenced by the Scandinavian extreme metal scene. Hawthorn has two independent releases in the form of ‘Dawn Of Blood’ EP (2008) and the full length ‘Thorns And Blood’ (2010). An underground christian black metal label called Sullen Records released a limited edition CD featuring both recordings in February 2011. 
The ‘Thorns and Blood’ album opens with a melodic spoken word intro “A scream echoes in my soul / Can’t see anything in my way / Silence cuts like a knife / That rips and annihilates all the senses”. Following this is heavyweight keyboards almost overlaying the guitar in ‘Master Of Lies’, which has gothic clear vocals. It is not until ‘Dark Veil’ that they unleash the snarling thrash vocals and technical guitar riffing. The extreme metal lyrics take force in ‘Dark Night’ with raspy growling “Cold wind in a dark night / Smell of Death that exhale in the darkness / Obscure way that you walk / Trying to overcome / fear and miseries from the heart”. 
My personal favourite is ‘Eternal Lord’ which has a melodic keyboard intro, then pauses for dramatic effect before thunderous drumming and brooding guitar forcibly make themselves known. Amanda’s haunting, operatic vocals send a tremor down the spine and trades places with Guilherme’s snarling. “Oh my Lord / Put me in battles for your name / Use me as a divine instrument / It doesn’t matter the price I need to pay / I trust in You my Lord / I depend on your grace my God / God of glory and love”. 
They also stray into thrash territory in ‘Thorns’ with its razor sharp riffing and time changes. Whilst it doesn’t mention Jesus by name, it is about his death and resurrection.

Hawthorn is currently working on a new full length album for release in 2011 which should be released later this year on Intense Millennium Records. They are the first officially active band to be signed to the label.
