1.	We Are Not Alone 05:32	lyrics	buy track
Kill, grab by the head And shove into the ice-hole Do not dwell on it If there they rest in peace What else to do If they are conjuring from the outside And but demons know what is happening On the prairies in the dark You don't believe yet, but you will A century won't measure life It's not an illusion, not a bad dream Kissing a cross won't grant salvation From human thoughts and flesh Please god save our souls I'm sure we're not alone The spell grows stronger If thousands whisper The more people join the curse The stronger beast becomes And haven't lost their tales And literacy's useless Still horrifies, it And crosses puts across The wings flapped in the distance What unspeakable horror God, please save our souls Seen it myself: we're not alone in this world
2.	Black Lines 04:35	lyrics	buy track
Bear hunt is a task for real men Brave enough to challenge such a formidable beast Several men are needed, one will never succeed Telepathy is a gift from gods and mother nature The forest is growing thicker, the leaves - heavier Close your eyes and the branches come alive, the air grows darker With the aid of foreign gods through ice on Vychegda a tear flows The water element changes its bed, time for me to open my eyes. A magic impulse midst traditional forms: Fleece, shamans and the rhythm of creation The source of thought can be determined Only if depths of consciousness are fathomed Repeat one phrase: scars heals So hard to keep going through thorns and not looking back Imagine this though: paints come alive So dreadfully cold Create, never hesitate Yet the forest is growing thicker and the leaves - ever so heavy Close your eyes and the branches come alive, the air grows darker With the aid of foreign gods through ice on Vychegda a tear flows The water element changes its bed, time for me to open my eyes.
3.	Home 06:04	lyrics	buy track
A ramshackle hut In the thicket, in the middle of nowhere Can’t see shit Having snuffed out a candle with her fingers, At the hut’s front door Stands a girl Almost sky-clad, shapely, Ready. Almost inaudibly a floorboard creaks Darkness, thrashing above her like a pitch black could of smoke But without fire. Unafraid of the dark, she rushes ahead Lived well, almost a stranger to sorrow No grief, no loss, gathering happiness In the palm of her hand, melting the hoarfrost with her warmth She discards the shirt, eyes rolled to the sky and Grabbing some stars from there to have the strength Dissolving in the sweetness completely, long night is still ahead! A ramshackle hut In the thicket, in the middle of nowhere Can’t see shit Having ignited a candle with her fingers, At the hut’s front door Stands a girl Almost sky-clad, shapely, She enters the house A floorboard creaks A fox darts away Copse bathed in the light A hard night it was, if only there was time to gather strength now Far away from the shades of cities and asphalt of roads People live just like before Every night, enjoying the moans under the cover of quietness, caressing each other and themselves, Despite being exiled to the copse a thousand years ago Still exist in the souls of the folk Only names change, but the tale of our century is One, two, The light left the forest, One, two, The house is now lost One, two, Through hope One, two, Just like before, One, two, Not just a dream, One, two, Repeat will again

5.	The Train 1702 05:00	lyrics	buy track
Dreary forests and lakes passing by The high-speed train travels swiftly Flitting landscapes, hundreds and thousands of trees opposite the train wheels Moving resolutely along the tracks A deafening whistle can be heard from afar - a freight train on its way Night is approaches, nothing unusual for the locomotive team No one paid any attention - all is as always, the train flies breathing steam While outside the driver's window incredibly bright light dances aflame A real life nightmare, horror, panic, the locomotive team is aghast "Out of the way! The train has no driver! Run, save yourselves!" Through the darkness and tundra travels the ghost train on the tracks, A thunder is heard in the distance A bright sphere is dragging the train ahead with an unseen force: technology not known to men The diagram thrashes, tears, sphere rushes on, piercing darkness like walls, The lines of chart-recorders will retain the truth: Gadgets are not people, they don't lie.
6.	The Owls 07:02	lyrics	buy track
Our path is long and full of hardships Let stars protect us with their light Although the trails grows diaphanous in darkness We will not forget our way Sun has long set The silence of the night caught us with its quietness We traverse our native land Surrounded by darkness, time nears midnight. We've been cast out into the fields in winter: An insane beast, and not a man The consciousness grows foggy: It will forever remain in the books Every little rustle can be heard on the plains Goddess of wind is adept in her craft All secret passageways are open Forest's behind us, the wolf is with us A raven circles the night sky And owls cry somewhere I do not want to, but I have to Irrigate this soil with blood The fog has set like smoke on the arable The dark is wielding omens But we still go, as it is our will The hardships are irrelevant The secrets of un-illuminated haze Like naked stone and morning dew The moon is pale, and through its phantom Illusions of such wonders everywhere The hour was late, so seeing them Surprised him. How can this be? Are these mirages in the fog, Or might this be true and it's a sign? The silhouettes scared with their silence While peacefully floating above the field in the distance And shyly disappeared behind a slope Groves of limes joined the illusion Every little rustle can be heard on the plains Goddess of wind is adept in her craft All secret passageways are open Forest's behind us, the wolf is with us A raven circles the night sky And owls cry somewhere I do not want to, but I have to Irrigate this soil with blood
7.	New World Order 04:23	lyrics	buy track
I need a chainsaw and carbohydrates Retribution? Don't think so. Stick your hand in a bear cage Couldn't do it? That's sad. Family issues? State department spies behind your back Estonian occupants, 43 villages Behind the scenes world never sleeps. Did you understand nothing? That's your problem. I defended my homeland This is my paradise, New world order reigns here This is my paradise Development path and policy are set I'll build a paradise, the promised land Only the ones commanding the world will survive When the uprisings start, remember my covenants - New world order of a decent man! That is all. Houses will cease burning soon. Someone ratted me out The last bastion of sanity in this world fell the enemies are advancing. I have a great plan: I get into my dear "Volga" auto and ram
8.	To Live 04:13	lyrics	buy track
When attempting to live, Accept the anguish Tearing and hitting Abrading your hands raw Throw out the memories Before it's too late Eyes on horizon Where shine the stars And let the sleeper awaken Sun greeting him with a smile Touching him with a bright claw You'll miss it all Wake up, don't sleep! Sharp claw spends days Gnawing on the spiral of life as best it can Sentry of own fate Don't bear the cross Throw it off your back Unable to write, giving the order To sew a million people together Having fucked control, forcing it in the noose Jerking the vagina with a steel machine-gun Having fucked a sister, drinking some ethanol Unable to write, teaching how to live Destroying a stranger's life for a career That's what it is to live.

about

"Where the fuck has Second to Sun been my whole life? The Walk (both the vocal and instrumental versions) is an original creation that surpasses every one of its predecessors. Second to Sun have outdone themselves... Seriously, why aren’t these guys fucking signed??"
- Angry Metal Guy (4/5)

"It will certainly turn the heads of the record executives at Spinefarm, Candlelight and Season of Mist. Expect a record deal in the near future."
- Exclaim!

"A band unafraid to change and adapt, Second To Sun have pulled off a career high here."
- Ghost Cult

"On the one hand, it has many rhythmic elements of groove metal; on the other, it continues the legacy of such classic Scandinavian black metal bands as EMPEROR, MAYHEM, and DARKTHRONE. Such diverse musical roots of the band protrude from Vladimir Lehtinen's songwriting, Gleb Sysoev's soul-crushing vocals and Fedor Borovsky's groovy drum lines."
- Metal-Temple (9/10)

"Powerful and huge as the Tsar's bomb, it wraps you in a dark and dense fog that you will never want to leave."
- RTMB (9/10)

"Second to Sun wrap their groove metal foundation in a tattered funeral shroud of black metal trappings for a result that transcends both in a brilliant marriage of genres."
- Antihero Magazine

"The Walk further diversifies the band’s sound with even darker and colder edges that fit perfectly into the current season, while keeping the pieces that gave them a more unique feel to begin with. Quality stuff for those who like a little bit of fresh flavor injected into the black metal format."
- Dead Rhetoric (8/10)

"It frightens, fascinates and tantalizes."
- Antichrist Magazine

"Second To Sun is proof that you can play interesting music in the east. It's worth checking out Second to Sun. They really make good music."
- Death Magnetic

"Their new nine-song release wastes no time attacking your sense of hearing."
- JP's Music Blog

Iris
by Altars of Grief

supported by 42 fans who also own “The Walk (Instrumental Edition)”

A truly stellar death/doom album with heavy doses of black metal. Tracks like Isolation, Child of Light, and Broken Hymns deliver the sorrowful and icy tone of this album, elevated by the stirring cello compositions of Raphael Weinroth-Browne. The album delivers a deeply satisfying crescendo in Becoming Intangible before stirring the soul once again with Epilogue. Matt Richardson

Unsettling Whispers
by GAEREA

supported by 41 fans who also own “The Walk (Instrumental Edition)”

Gaerea's first release of "Unsettling Whispers" was in 2018, and since, they dared define a "black metal" niche of their own, they dared to walk a new path and stir shit up a bit in the realm of BM, this album is a masterpiece and a milestone proving that it can be done, provided the band can pull it off, and they did, oh they did! Gloomy, dark, post-BM sludgy whatever, it's Gaerea, and this one belongs in my BC collection, the end. sachavonkarl74

The Funeral Pyre
by KVAEN

supported by 37 fans who also own “The Walk (Instrumental Edition)”

The first 30 seconds of "Revenge by Fire" convinced me to get the whole album! It is a face-melting blend of speed and black metal, reminiscent of Hellripper! KVAEN is a Swedish solo project much like Hellripper but many known guest musicians helped J. Björnfot in his endeavor. Altogether it is really a solid debut album, I loved the melodies and the pace changes in the second half too, ending with a "calm" instrumental one. Well-done!! sachavonkarl74

Walk Beyond the Dark
by Abigail Williams

supported by 35 fans who also own “The Walk (Instrumental Edition)”

Abigail Williams has had a weird career with hiatuses and lineup changes, but they have finally perfected their sound on Walk Beyond the Dark. This album has such a refreshing and natural feeling that makes it one of the top atmospheric black metal albums of recent years. Ryan
