Hérédité L'aube d'un nouveau jour d'un jour qui s'est achevé Le Cairn encourage les forêts à un serment sombre Rejoint le sacrifice et accepte la tombe Pour le sol que vous avez donné comme terre cultivée Une volonté de foi qui ne meurt jamais La tige du chêne est si délabré Le temps se souvient du travail du jeune homme Il se sacrifie à la terre, comme le chêne fait pousser ses feuilles ...pour la terre Regarde comme le corbeau vole A travers les sapins, vers la vallée sacrée Où la révérence doit se prévaloir, où les elfes seront toujours ...pour la terre La vie est dure depuis le chant des rapides Ils murmurent doucement, le courant est dévoyé...

Heredity A new day’s dawn of day’s gone buy Cairn urge the forests dark oath Join the sacrifice and wide embrace of the grave For the soil that you gave as farmed land A will of faith that never dies So decayed is the stem of the oak Age remembers the young mans task He gives the soil his sacrifice, as the oak grants its leafs For the soil…. See how the raven flies Over the pine towards sacred valleys Where reverence shall prevail, where elves will always be For the soil… For rapids songs is life’s stern Murmur gently, the current is rogue Alas neighborhoods fair signs, different paths we go For the soil… 02. I en tid som var Turn around for you are not alone...

Arv En dag nu gryr ur svunnen tid Rösen manar skogens mörka ed Sälla dig till harg och griftens vida famn Ty jorden ni gav som svedjat land En vilja av tro som aldrig dör Så murken äro ekens stam Åldern minnar unge mannens värv Han giver jorden sitt blot som eken skänker sitt blad Ty jorden ni gav... Se hurledes korpen far över furan mot en helgad dal där vördnad råda skall, där alver städse bli Ty jorden ni gav... För forsarnas sång är livets stäv Porla varligt, strömmen äro så skälmsk Ack nejdens fagra spår, skilda vägar vi gå Ty jorden ni gav... 02. I en tid som var Vänd dig om ty ensam är du ej bland skuggorna, mellan tanke och dröm En fjärran sång ljuder ödsligt över mörka vann Skönjer du den vrede som gavs i en tid som var Slik är den otämjda viddens hav A...

 Hi everyone, So, this is the last dev diary of the year and I have some nice news for you all. First and I know you love it : the Releases 2023 listing is now available. I moved the releases 2022 to the past releases About : minor update What is Eld ? page is 80% updated but that part is dedicated to bands' n' pro people more than listeners For listeners, I created the Forged in Folk community group on Facebook for various discussions, and unofficial lyrics translations  Lyrics page updated. In 2023 will be shared a lot of Pagan/Folk/Metal news on Sword Chant. Interviews, reviews will be and soon, some lyrics will be back home. Let's make 2023 a wonderful year !                  Swords Up !

The new updates bring more content onto the website, and better visual. Festivals and Tourdates 2023 are availables in the new calendar On Stage . The Interviews page has been re-worked so, you don't need to scroll down, down, down... New Eld page available which gives the answer on What is Eld ? ; the page will get bigger soon. I have written the  Lyrics page again and removed the google database to build my own with code.  And now, I would like to thank all followers of the new Instagram page available for a week. Happy holidays to everyone ! \m/

Dear followers,  I have been working on bandpages and listings for almost 2 months and I'm happy that work reached the end ! Before you read my log for updates, I would like to thank you for the kind messages I received and the follow here and there ; some of you are following Sword Chant even before the announcement ! \m/ However, some readers may think they already follow Sword Chant on Facebook and Twitter for long now but you have to know i had erased the pages, then you have to join again to follow and get news of your favorite bands and website.  Somedays ago and as announced on social medias, I launched the Instagram page for Sword Chant and again, i want to thank all followers there.  So, the updates applied are the following : About Sword Chant About The author Bands All Folk Metal bands pages All Folk Music bands pages Listing up to date Releases Releases 2022 listing is entirely available, its time for you to order some nice records for celebrations ! I st...

Dear readers, bands, their fans, listeners, promoters and pr,  Now that i faced and slayed my enemies, I'm thrilled to announce Sword Chant is back ! Today is Sword Chant Birth Day and the website returns stronger than ever together with its Eld part - that old project dedicated to help and support Bands worldwide - and more things coming soon. You'll find the Bands Needs page on Eld part for now and currently feats EQUILIBRIUM news on this page that aims to help bands to build a line-up and more. The website could not work properly in the next few days because I am moving home and because i did not finish to update bands pages and listings am working on for awhile. Oh, you can contact me if you notice something wrong for bands above the yellow cell that feats on the bands listing . For example, I noticed the band CELTIBEERIAN just announced their new line-up , days after my band page update. Bandpages look nicer in this way too :  About updates, I created the Releases 2022 ...
