Mark Burger Valhalore has a lot going on. Atmospheric instrumental pieces, amazing guitar riffs, and decent vocals of all sorts. The non-traditional song structures really allow a diverse amount of audio satisfaction to get blended together. I recommend looking up "Malice of Illusion"-- it's the busiest track and if you like even part of the track, you may as well add the album to your collection. Favorite track: The Winterstone.

Arrogant Bastard Valhalore deliver all the pomp and circumstance one would expect from an album with this majestic artwork. This is symphonic viking power metal, in exemplary form. Littered with driving riffs, piercing guitar solos and copious use of symphonic elements.
'Voyage Into Eternity' is proof metal can be fun and saturated in bombast all while avoiding the pitfalls of "cheese". Favorite track: Guardians of Time.

Banished as my dream is torn asunder By the cold harsh light of morning Though I'm reaching, no returning To the place I was before Unrelenting snow and sorrow How I yearn for endless midnight And the warmth of stars embracing Where forever I may wander In the swirling mists of time Lost in tranquillity of night time's throne The deep serenity that draws me all alone Now soothe this troubled mind of winter’s cold [Heed the warning of the night] Alone and undefined is not how I grow old [The wind so cold, reclaims my soul] [Enraptured by the night time throne Enraptured by the night time throne] Faced with the darkness of man’s inner hate Staring into the unknown Betrayed by illusion and trapped by our fate Malice now sits on the throne Lost and alone, we’ll find our way With the stars as our guide, return one day As the blood of our Father’s runs through our veins For kin and for home we’ll fight again, fight again The mist calls out my name And the moon reveals the way Dawn’s first kiss of light is my guide From troubled mind, I will return Banished now my dream is torn asunder By the welcome sight of morning Through the malice of illusion I have found myself again

Through the falling of the leaves Beneath the blackened sky Amongst the withered trees Ravaged by wind so cold Her voice it beckons me And slowly echoes in my dreams A song of sorrow That can never be revealed Enraptured I long for your touch But know that you’ll never appear A love song of sweet words unspoken That all turn to serpents when they reach my ears Fists of iron, heart of stone How you wound me, I don’t know Once and again we will dance on the wind Until the end when the sky crashes in Dying to hold, but unable to feel the warmth Of a winter’s kiss A mind that longs for freedom And a heart that longs for peace So lost in endless longing Only death my sweet release How I yearn to slip away Fall forever through the stars Shall I face another day With the cold that grips my heart You took from me mortality And etched me in the ground My eyes were frozen shut But they see much clearer now Forever I will watch you And my soul will find it’s peace As I gratefully surrender And I welcome your release Fists of iron, heart of stone You shan’t wound me evermore

As I wonder at the beauty of nature around me And the moonlight it gleams through the canopy above Enraptured I’m captured and taken aback By the calming embrace of the forests I love The roots of the trees so deep and so dark Implanted in the ground, once the seedlings of time The song of the leaves and the words of the bark The whisper, come hither, that intrigues my troubled mind The wolf of the hill keeps a watch in the dark As the world lies in wait for the first glimpse of dawn He tears at the earth and he howls on the wind To the moon he so loves And each night the valleys echo with his anguished cries I’m carried away by the sound of the silence With grace and beauty divine My mind starts to wander of fantastic beasts The vivid most fantasy trapped in a starry-eyed child Mystery entwined in the tales of the woods Spears shall be shaken, wind time, wolf time Ere the moon falls Brother kill brother for purpose divine Ere the world falls How fickle the will and the want of man The dark clouds of greed that smother the dreams Of the purest of hearts, with the best of intents Yet our solace lies only in the embrace of trees

The vast abyss surrounding future undefined Trapped in the tempest and ravages of time The distant glimmer of the dawn horizon calls Caressed by the ocean the winter sun is born And with my waking eyes I see the distant shores of home And in my dreams I see the shores of home I’m drifting away like a fading memory [At the mercy of the winter so cold] Lost where only waves will bury me [Icy fingers clutch to the soul] I long for the times when stars cascade from the heavens and into the sea [Into the sea] For that is the moment That is the moment when I bring home back to me Born of the tide take the wind in our stride As the depths beckon below Sons of the waves at the prow as it sways ‘Cross the frozen ocean we go Sleep soothes with hollow words While waking mocks with distain Time and tide wait for no man But the embrace of stars remain

Banners raised daylight fades As darkness consumes all in sight Sand and stone our earthly throne Embracing the last winter’s night Come dawn in hand upon the sand Our weapons raised to the sky In Odin’s eyes our battle cries To Valhalla we fly Leaving the mortal behind In my earthen tomb enshrined Here upon the crimson shore My soul lives on forevermore Fare thee well for sleep awaits Take our place beyond the stars In eternity’s embrace Ride for glory victory is ours Here we ride [We ride] across the land of time [We fight] Here we ride [We ride] until the morning light [We die] Here we ride [We ride] beyond the crimson tide [We fight] On the shores tonight we die [We die]

With a battle cry Loose the arrows fly Rain of death blacks out the light Torn asunder Ever wonder Will we make it through this fight As the raven circles high To war With the ever-watching eye The hand of death looms near Swift and malevolent to fear With a battle cry Standing side by side Spear and shield against the tide Quoth the raven Lo, forsaken He will feast on flesh this night With a battle cry Now the end is nigh Hel unleashing No remorse Wings of victory Flames will bury me Here upon the blood-stained shores Clashing steel reverberates my soul The victory is won The augury of death is overcome We're greeted by the blood red sun The battle o're, now we stand as one

Gazing to the midnight sky With the starlight reflecting in my eyes Searching for divinity Through chaos comes my clarity Seeking answers that escape me Learning, yearning, still evades me Hidden treasures born of stars A journey written to be ours For through death we find eternal life Only if we are proven right I wish to stand before the gates And see what road my soul shall take We burn as one Through the ages we sail away With flags unfurled for another day The earth, the wind and the seven seas Our voyage into eternity
