PKMetal When a folk-power metal band with full-time bagpipes and/or violins doesn't work for me, it's usually because the music only has one mood: happy. Thankfully, Ocelon keeps that tendency in check to deliver the aggression that folk metal can sometimes lack. Favorite track: Pilgrimage.

Yizhay Vivanco Me gusta mucho esta canción
El ritmo y la letra son muy originales y además la batería y guitarras hacen un excelente trabajo contribuyendo a crear una obra maestra. Nada que envidiar a Eluveite. Favorite track: Ashen.

GypsFu1vus I am following Ocelon since I saw them on a show in Madrid and I was looking forward to listen to their first full-length album. "Of the Lost Heritage" has a nice balance between folk and metal elements, as well as between growling and clean vocals. I love the way that the wind instruments and the violin work together. A must-listen album if you wanna have a taste of the impressive folk metal featured in Spain or you already enjoy with young bands like Salduie, Celtibeerian, Heid or Lèpoka. Favorite track: Homeland.

When her light returns at nightfall Her bright breaks through the clouds In the dark she comes to me Shining over my dreams Charmed by an hypnotic shade I’m forced to run away Deep in the woods I track her Chasing her silver trail While I’m running with the deer And howling as the wolf My body frees my spirit To fly over the owl Hunting through the silent woods Climbing up the highest cliffs Going faster than the wind My prey plays with me Up to the moon Deep in the night sky Far away among the stars Again I raise my sight But in the lakes she’s revealed Her spirit is trapped And I can fuse our reflections Until the first morning light Waiting lonely on my knees While she runs away from me I can feel the dawning kiss All over my skin A tear crosses my face While the sun comes back to reign But tomorrow she’ll be back And I’ll chase her again Up to the moon Deep in the night sky Far away among the stars Again I raise my sight But in the lakes she’s revealed Her spirit is trapped And I can fuse our reflections Until the first morning light

Amber Blood 04:18
Come outside, the table is ready, everybody is about to arrive. A lot of meat and so much beer to let he feast begin. A great banquet to grace the heroes they have fought with bravery. Our ancestors will be proud, They’ll bless all of us. Prepare the cauldrons overflowed with beer. Put them on a great place that everyone can see. Now bring us the best ingredient, it will die for our gods. With the last breath of the sun the sacrifice will commence. Strongly tied upside down, sink their heads in the ale, when the bodies stop to squirm The potion will be crafted. …let’s drink! Drink this glorious beverage and feel the power through your veins and see yourself rising upon your strength above your senses so start to fight! Hey! Hey! Fill your jars! Drink till your hearts beat as one. Hey! Hey! Get in trance! Fight while drink this amber blood. We feel the heat on our flesh, there's no end to this drunkenness. We will fight and we will dance all this night till this land burns. Fighting drunk with healing wrath like brothers we are. We won’t feel pain anymore with unity and magic broth. Now we’re bound forever with the mighty souls of the drowned. Warriors that protect our hearts with iron, honor and amber blood. Drink this glorious beverage and feel the power through your veins and see yourself rising upon your strength above your senses victorious!

Homeland 04:29
Tired of travel I need rest at night Deep in my heart, within my mind There lies a place carved in my eyes Home of my soul and hall of my pride Quiet field where I could ponder When trouble strikes as thunder Cold stone to warm my blood Ancient wood to hold my thoughts When I close my eyes and submit to the night The echoes of my goals and deepest dreams Come back to my mind, restoring my strength Returning me to my Homeland

Communion 03:28
Run! Rush the path And redeem For a life in a cell of invisible bars (Now) Go! Wild out Shout to the skies And find what you've been waiting for Feel the wind that's pushing you onwards your dream Enter a realm Beyond mortal lands Bound to earth (Bound to all) Seeking inside You'll find light Communion is reaching you Silence thoughts that make you bleed Strike down monsters off your mind Find the calm: Forests whispers when to move Feel the wind that's pushing you onwards your dream Enter a realm Beyond mortal lands Bound to earth (Bound to all) Seeking inside You'll find light Communion is reaching you We have reached the final step Communion's waiting Take a breath and clear your sight Become one with nature! Feel the wind that's pushing you onwards your dream Enter a realm Beyond mortal lands Bound to earth (Bound to all) Seeking inside You'll find light Communion is reaching you

Dusk of fog and coldness Silence breaks as the path Leads nowhere Breaking moon Over leaves and humid ground Woods of grey dreamscapes to seek our own ghosts Grant yourself the calm and Understand the true shape of dark Don't fear the withering winds Cause man's inner spirit here will find bravery Here where the time stand still Here you don't feel alone Is the scent of fear When your soul is closed Despise the light! In the forest of mist Here where the time stand still Here you don't feel alone Is the scent of fear When your soul is closed Despise the light! In the forest of mist Don't fear the withering winds Cause man's inner spirit here will find bravery Here where the time stand still Here you don't feel alone Is the scent of fear When your soul is closed Despise the light! In the forest of mist Here where the time stand still Here you don't feel alone Is the scent of fear When your soul is closed (when your soul is closed) Despise the light! (despise the light) In the Forest of Mist

Pilgrimage 06:30
Hear, my son, the things I will tell you, they’re all about everything you can reach. The first lesson you must to know is don’t fear to ask. Don´t be afraid to learn. A learned man talks, a wise one, hears, you must to decide which do you want to be. If your words aren’t nicer than silence you better say nothing or you can start a war. Always be aware that it is far easier to move a river than the will of a man. Earth is your home and nature your lover, please take care of them or they will turn against you. Take just what they offer to you and don’t fight for more. No one can own the world. Now, my son, you must let me go, I have seen enough things since long time ago. I can finally rest, and, please, don’t forget the knowledge I taught you, I’ll always be there. Souls will cry when moths fly… Fool! Never cry a live well lived! You’re insulting my memory if you think I wasted my life. I have gone too soon leaving you with so much to learn. Pain is the best master… …even though stave. Treasure the gift your live gives to you, use it wisely. Time is always sand. Friends and food and family too are the most important pillars of peace of mind. The best advices I can give to you are: “patience is a virtue” and “make your own wishes true”.

Battletroll 03:48
Listen for a while Dear friend of mine I will tell you a story Well, sort of a rhyme: Legend speaks Of an ancient troll Who was not interested in fame or gold People say for sure That in battles can be told A great figure raging At least twelve meters tall! From his cave to the fight the journey seems to enjoy The bigger the armies the more he will destroy! Batlletroll Battletroll! Strong as ten furious bears! Batlletroll Battletroll! He has a three meters long beard Batlletroll Battletroll! In his right hand wields a tree Batlletroll Battletroll! Even bravest warriors flee No mercy for the weak No pain from any wound The battle is over There is no one around Legend speaks Of an ancient troll Who was not interested in fame or gold (He only wants to smash your head Keep running or you’ll be dead) Batlletroll Battletroll! Strong as ten furious bears! Batlletroll Battletroll! He has a three meters long beard Batlletroll Battletroll! In his right hand wields a tree Batlletroll Battletroll! Even bravest warriors flee Batlletroll Battletroll! He only wants to smash your head Batlletroll Battletroll! Keep running or you’ll be dead

Awaking my forgotten senses The mist brings the silence chords New and old smells dancingin the fog The dawn is born from a single lung Bringing a thousand sounds Those are clearly fused as one (I´m)Hearing smells (and) breathing sounds I`m feeling part of the symphony of life The wet breeze embraces my skin And the grass rocks my feet Waving my shade in the wind Calling my spirit to be free The first beams of light Are warming my stunned sight And finally reborn, the mist moves aside And shares with me the symphony of life While the Sun returns to shine My blood flows as melted snow Being fused with the hill's rime Reflecting the lightfrom the sky While the night restores his realm The mountain takes my last breath And remaining in silence I realize that I’ve always been part of the symphony of life

Bleak rays falls between the doors of the Great Tree With a single open eye I can see his blackness Now I am awake, conscious and prepared, I smell the scent of dirt The obscure shade is watching Long forgotten spirits gather Waiting to surpass this world They'll now be the judge Linking my soul to the roots It's trying to pull me down with a cold hug with strong hands It scoffs giving me a crown of a barren and tainted realm Heavier than chains of stone are the feelings of my guilt, eating my lungs and heart like a raging wild vulture Long forgotten spirits gather Waiting to surpass this world They'll now be the judge Linking my soul to the roots
