An epic journey, Across the endless isles. The Ocean before me. Lion set sail at my side. Flash Cannon Light. Into the Night. The Sun is blinding. No land in sight. Welcome to the fortress of hell. To infiltrate and liberate. The bond of blood will give me strength. To face a wizard. His power extreme. The perfect evil, becoming a deity. Let courage and might prevail Can you hear me calling beyond the veil Where time stands still The kingdom rises from the water Restore and healed Where time's concealed A wizard's death submerged again. a wizard's death sealed again The sunken pearls reveals the tower below to open a portal the guardian controls A time forgotten A lifeless dream Blessed by an ancient magic no longer a memory Let courage and might prevail Can you hear me calling beyond the veil Where time stands still The kingdom rises from the water Restore and healed Where time's concealed Can you hear me calling beyond the veil Where time stands still The kingdom rises from the water Restore and healed Where time's concealed

The fire bide burns alive deep inside the abyss tonight no hope of the curse to subside wither away into eternity Consume me. Become the Light Complete me. The world can thrive. Caught in between the endless life to extinguish or forever ignite? Suffer the consequences of flames or cease to exist at all. Consume me. Become the Light Complete me. The world can thrive. Conspiracy and Heresy becoming me Light the bonfire. Hear the lies and the cries of the souls who died Light the bonfire. Light it for all to see. Become the enemy When the cinder turns black and reignites Light the bonfire Conspiracy and Heresy becoming me Light the bonfire. Hear the lies and the cries of the souls who died Light the bonfire. Light it for all to see. Become the enemy When the cinder turns black and reignites Light the bonfire

False Hope 04:36
In a land that doesn't know why death is eternal and sanctified worship the fallen who gave their lives all in vain in Yevon's eyes Summoners travel to become sacrificed all for nothing once a decade passed believe in the teachings to survive keeping the order preach the lies Seeing is believing the strength of the heart griefing and reliving always sets us apart even if the fayth is real false hope remains Run away. Fade away into the dreamscape Love endures through the pain and dismay heroes are created by changing the ways of the past. Never going back to the same runaway fade away. make a new start. There are those in death who defy the cycle of life and those alive the sending to the Farplane cry the spirit and the souls dies. Spawn appears in an endless rage a pilgrimage for the final fight Spira's leaders corrupt with hate preach false hope no end in sight. Seeing is believing the strength of the heart griefing and reliving always sets us apart even if the fayth is real false hope remains Run away. Fade away into the dreamscape Love endures through the pain and dismay heroes are created by changing the ways of the past. Never going back to the same runaway fade away. make a new start. Seeing is believing the strength of the heart griefing and reliving always sets us apart even if the fayth is real false hope remains Run away. Fade away into the dreamscape Love endures through the pain and dismay heroes are created by changing the ways of the past. Never going back to the same runaway fade away. make a new start.

Within the sacred ruins of the sun lies the balance of the earth's protection. A blade forged by the rituals of the divine long before the rise of man. The blade. I'm reborn. The world torn asunder. Trials of the chosen soon are tested By cataclysmic Doom becoming wretched Fire and floods brings death to innocence Plaguebringer becomes Cursed by the beat and cadence. The blade. I'm reborn. The world torn asunder. Decimation of the earth and beyond is apparent by the selfish nature of man. Free me from this crown and resolution before i call the power of the sun. Sacrifice and blood contained within box of this heart so willing to give up. The pain unlocked by the stike upon me. My soul to restore orer to the cosmos

I hear a sound above me the thunder cries my name Ther are dragons before me now it's time to believe TO learn an ancient language that died out long ago requires the gift of the god becoming Dragonborn All I see if suffering. Destiny is calling me. To shout down a dragon, Alduin, Bringer of Ruin. I must learn the way of the voice I am the way of the voice. Across the land of Skyrim Lies tombs of undead cults. Protectors of the sacred power. The word's magic to bestow. To seek the elder scroll, Journey to the throat of the world. Paarthurnax, the lonely Dova, will restore the dragonlord. All I see if suffering. Destiny is calling me. To shout down a dragon, Alduin, Bringer of Ruin. I must learn the way of the voice I am the way of the voice. All I see if suffering. Destiny is calling me. To shout down a dragon, Alduin, Bringer of Ruin. I must learn the way of the voice I am the way of the voice.

about

The second album to follow-up 2016's Crack the Earth. This album was recorded and written in about 2 months' time and was recorded entirely by Jason Roach.

"I poured my heart and soul into this album. I took the time to learn some sound engineering tricks and techniques to have something worthy to put out into the world. I'm am proud of what I have achieved here!"

What critics are saying about Cadence of the Cursed:

"Hurtling out of ancient, frosty caverns with a piercing scream, Ice Howl rides the winds of fantasy, seeking to put the "power" back into "power metal" with an emphasis on boisterous energy and drive over all else." - Invisible Oranges

"The artist behind Ice Howl gives us 34 minutes of pure metal joy on Cadence of the Cursed. Blending together elements of stoner, doom, heavy, and power metal, these seven songs pack quite the metallic punch." - Wonderbox Metal

"Cadence Of The Cursed is definitely worth some attention. Jason Roach clearly has an ear for a good arrangement and he performs with confidence." - Metal-Rules.com

"Conclusion: this is some heavy shit that mostly consists of lead-heavy riffs that drip out of the boxes like lava if you can dig that treat yourself!" - Horrorpatch.com
