FROZEN SWORDI talk now about the heavy metal band I play in since three or four months. We are five guys (a drummer, a bass player, a lead guitar player, a rythmic guitar player and a singer) and the band was created 5 years ago. At first, it was called Frozen Hell (it was surely inspired by the last floor of the Dante's hell) but now it's called Frozen Sword, whitout any reasons ^^. We have 15 compositions, inspired firstly by Manowar and too by Iced Earth, Iron Maiden and Megadeth. Now we are in a period of compositions and I've a project : a concept-album about the Dante's hell (I like this book very well !). This year, we're gonna do too lots of gigs (through Switzerland mainly, but maybe too in Italia and in France). This mini-tour is called "A Tour Through The Death", a reference of our 4 tracks demo called A Journey Through The Death. During our gigs, we play some covers too like Black Night (Deep Purple), Angels Holocaust, Holy Smoke (Iron Maiden) and many others of Metallica, Manowar, etc.We have a website http://www.frozen-sword.com with an english version. I hope that one day we'll play the first part of Iced Earth and that we'll play in America and everywhere in the world. Maybe someday we'll meet some of you ? Only time will tell us our true destiny ... |

So I finish to write a song about the first circle and the gate of the Dante's Hell. So my english is far to be perfect and I would like you to help me, you who speak english, to correct my texte
(I have no tittle now maybe "The Gate" and "The Realm Of Pain" but the first one is pretty cool, it's more mysterious) VERSE Through me the way’s to the city dolent; Through me the way’s to eternal dole; Through me the way among the people lost. Justice incited my sublime Creator; Created me divine Omnipotence, The highest Wisdom and the primal Love. Before me there were no created things, Only eterne, and I eternal last. You who enter here, abandon all hope" BRIDGE CHORUS Pass the gate of Hell Hear the cowards’ cries Through the limbo’s plain Wasps are scraching their mind VERSE Alone in this blackend forest Encircled by frightened animals A lynx, a lion and a she-wolf Came to seek me, Virgile the death poet We have just passed the gate Darkness and torment here are usual Cowards and unintersted Are walking through a maggots field You who don’t know the Christ, await whitout God ! BRIDGE Behind the gate of Hell See the cowards’ wounds Through the limbo’s plain Wasps are scraching their mind SOLO You who is not dead, you’ll see the sinner’s home BRIDGE CHORUS Enter the realm of pain Mirror of Paradise Walk down the nine circles A sacred travell, unholly path Closed are the doors of Hell Fear infiltrates my mind I’ve seen the first circle Not far is the second one |

hey for the last set could be pulled off as spoken word. get as a deep and dark vocal line.
what you do with the music, id leave that to what already seems to be great creativity. |

It's a Coming Curse-like song. The song' structure is like that :
- The chorus (whithout singing) : a rythmic very very slow with an High speed phrase and the drum with the double bass - The verse that seems like a typical Iced Earth riff - the bridge : a quick riff with the last sentence "You who enter here, abandon all hope" - the chorus with a deep vocal line - the verse - the bridge - the chorus - the soli : I've a great idea. I don't found any guitar line for this part so I take the bridge line more quickly and do 4 mini-soli alternated (2 by me and 2 by the other guitar) exactly like Metallica' Seek 'n Destroy soli - then 1 time the verse's riff with the rythmic guitar that play the full thing, the bass, the drumm and the other guitar play only tow or three notes - the bridge (it's very near of the solo, but I haven't any other sollution) - and finally 2 times for the chorus Maybe it isen't cool to read that, but as I soon as we tab this song with my drummer on guitar pro, I'm gonna put the MIDI or mp3 file here. |
