The third joke song we wrote for the EP, which inspired the EP's name. After joking about writing a thrash metal song with the title being a play on an old Electro Hippies album it kind of stuck.

lyrics

Heavy metal bards telling tales from the ages
Dragon's fire, wizard's spells, and camps that orcs have radided
Songs of native lands, of trees, streams, and sands
Gather round the fires until dawn breaks through the trees

Meads and lagers are flowing like a river
As we sing and stomp, and scream to the gods
Circle pits are form, these sounds engulf your soul
Minuets of metal. We play folk or die

Play folk or die

The sound of this album reminds me a lot of power metal, but it's interspersed with black metal vocals that give it a nice edge, while symphonic and folk metal elements round it out. It's a grand sound, helped by sweeping production, that hits the perfect sweet spot for me. Owen W
