MENTAL CRUELTY gehören zur Gattung der genreverbindenden Extreme Metal Bands, die Black, Deathcore und „normalen“ Symphonic Death Metal verbinden und das tun sie verdammt gut. Das heute erschienene Video zur Auskopplung `Nordlys` bereitet, wie schon `Forgotten Kings`, auf das nächste Album “Zwielicht“, mit dem Erscheinungstermin 23. Juni, vor.

Lyrics:
Souls rising up to heaven
Led by the giants, their torches covering the night sky
Eerie voices shouting down tremble up the horizon
Wrapping the evening glow in countless shades of sorrow
Fearing their light go hide yourself
Do not look back
Escape nearing disaster that’s building up
Above the trees
Rushing through
Shadows of the night covering this dark path
Heartbeats to the neck
Gasping breath
Air from the lungs is stuck in my throat
A taste of blood
Gazing up
Green, red, purple lights flicker across the sky
Revealing my trace
Dread to enrage the ancient spirits
As they will reign according to their almighty wrath
Nordlys, hear the sky whistling
Draw my wrath upon you
They light up the firmament
Nordlys shining omen of bane
Restless spirits
Phantoms will reach down to slice off your head
Be afraid,
Alerting the ghosts for your punishment,
Never dare to speak
Valkyries,
Attempting to rise again for revenge,
Behold their war cry
Vibrant arcs,
Shine over the arctic ominously,
Dance with the moonlight
Never dare to whistle wave or sing again
Warriors on horseback they’ll be gorgeous, deadly, winged and their desire
To erase thy hope with their sword of fire
Dread to enrage the ancient spirits
As they will reign according to their almighty wrath
The stars will align for your fate will be decided by the servants of Yggdrasil
Nordlys, hear the sky whistling
Draw my wrath upon you
They light up the firmament
Nordlys shining omen of bane
Restless spirits
Phantoms will reach down to slice off your head
Crimson presence
Enlight the starry heaven
Only answered
With whispers by the living
Giants fire up their wooden torches
Leading the souls of the deceased over the abyss
I am fire, bringer of doom
I am fire, portent of war
I am fire, light up the heaven
I am fire, bringer of dawn, son of the moon
