about

High in the mountains, while wandering the astral in deepest meditation, REL began to receive mysterious signals from an esoteric wizard on a far-off world. This ancient entity had heard the call of "Un", echoing far across the stars and was eager to make contact.

A new unholy alliance has been forged. The blade that was broken has been remade... again. The emissions of WOLKN have been beamed across the interdimensional void, tempered in the icy fires of the warp, to return gleaming, polished, and crackling with unearthly power.

A song about a magic sword - Andúril has been generously remixed and remastered from the original audio files by producer Oli Oliver.

More remastered WOLKN tracks will be released over the coming months and will eventually be available as a full remix/remaster of the entire Un album.

lyrics

Flame of the west.
I am remade,
Slaves of darkness,
flee before my blade.

Yes! I know now whence I came.
Burning, hungry as a flame.
All that I touch turns to light,
As I flare bright, fuelled by mind.
Ash is all I leave behind.
O yes, I’m a flame alright. *

Forging at the furnace edge,
Steel for which the ancients bled.
Flame of the west.

I arrive, and scorching heaven’s gate
I breathe, and scream and cast about
For fuel, I cannot but consume
A cursed incendiary leech,
Born to scald and thusly preach.
Mourning those on which I feast.

Celestial clockwork moves unseen,
Betwixt the anvil and the steel.

Into a void all icy stark.
Ripping hammer, spitting spark.
Tempered was my beaten heart,
Now weary since I did depart.

Flame of the west.
I am remade,
Slaves of the dark,
Shall flee before my blade.

In agony, a fated pyre convulsed
Kindled with a broken writ.
A plague to all that feed my wick,
Lay with me and be subsumed.

Cremate, sublimate, entomb
In ecstasy and grief I plume.

Flame of the west.
I am remade,
Slaves of darkness,
flee before my blade.

I am the scourge,
Bringer of darkness.
For your blood I ceaselessly thirst.

Andúril
Presennol a thragwyddol,
Mudiant a llonyddwch.
Dw i’n yma, arwr a dihiryn.
Bydd y boen yn ailadrodd,
Bydd y llawenydd yn ailadrodd.
Wele y dyn, bendigedig a melltigedig.


*Lines 5 to 10 loosely paraphrased from the poem “Ecce Homo” by Frederick Nietzsche (‘Joke, Cunning and Revenge’: Prelude in German Rhymes, No. 62, The Gay Science)
