Just a little over two years ago, the world suddenly became a much quieter place...

Hey Peeps! I just want to promote and rant about my band Sadauk a bit. Some info may be totally uninteresting for most of you but what the hell. The band formed back in 1996 and from that era we have 2 members left, vocalist Joppe and on Bass Dice. Before I joined the band Dice used to be the main composer/guitarist, but since he joined Starblind on Bass he wanted to continue on that path. In 2016 he came back to Sadauk after a 3 year absence when we asked him if he could record the bass for A New Dawn. Many of the songs on the album were his old songs that I had put my touch on based on old demos from the 90´s + some newer songs like Battle a God, Sage and Jester and Saling Away. As for me (Mats/Guitars) I joined the band back in January 2014 when it was more or less revived "for real" again after a long hiatus. The band was well known for me as I had met Joppe back in 2001 and got the first demo Theatre of War on cassette (released 1997). In the almost 6 years that we have been working on the future with Sadauk we have done a few but very successful gigs, the latest one at House of Metal festival in the north of sweden. Our debut album is not the typical album you can just listen to and get caught directly, it need time before it grows on you but it´s worth it (hopefully). I love reading reviews where they actually did listen to the album a few times and mention this. Right now we are working on A New Dawn Part II and the pre-production stage is almost done. I hope some of you will take the time to give our debut album a few spins, maybe you´ll like it, or hate it. As long as you give it a chance I´ll be more than happy. Sadauk @ Facebook Sadauk on Youtube: Sailing Away (Lyric Video) Battle a God (Lyric Video) Hourglass (Live 2018) On Tears of the Sun we have lead guest vocals from Mats - Ereb Altor / Isole. On As they Sleep behind the Horizon we have a guestsolo from Jesper Johansson (ex-Morifade) who also composed all the keys/fx on the album.

Some of our lyrics are in black speech, as is the name of the band. "Sadauk" means Charge!/Attack!. The drums on A New Dawn is recorded by none other than Henrik Åberg (Mörk Gryning, ex-Battlelust, ex-Cyanide, ex-Leprechaun, ex-Hellmasker, ex-Satariel, ex-Wombbath, ex-Overtorture (live), ex-Sectu (live), ex-Gates of Ishtar, ex-Incinerator, ex-Necromicon, ex-Slowgate) (links to Metal Archives). All the art for this album was made by Peter Bergting. The booklet is a 24 page version with art made for every song. It´s a common mistake for media to get the line-up wrong. Since Sadauk was a project when we entered the studio and converted more into a band after it was all finished it got a bit confusing.

Sage and Jester 06:58 Show lyrics Total running time: 59:29 Songs 1-6 is part of the "A New Dawn" story and the rest is just mixed standalone songs. The story will continue with the same principle on the next album. For those confused regarding what Vikingagillets Kväde, it is an intro for Sailing Away. Title in English: The Viking Feasts Poem An ode to Odin Translated Lyrics: To our fathers and to beer In the moonlight the wolves howl And the raven fly over father´s stone Before our journey, a feast for Greybeard We raise our horn for the good of Æsir If I would give a short note on each song it would look something like this: 1, Ancient Lithdor: Intro made by our old keyboardist Lennie Spetze (check out his band Havamal..!!), I guess the intro builds up one to believe they are up for a epic power metal journey. Well, you couldn´t be more wrong haha. Even if it can be epic at times the first song gives you a punch straight in the guts all the way up until Therése starts singing. 2, Melhínis Death: I always thought this song was a bit too heavy and "slow" to have as the first song on the record, but it seems to have been liked by many and after all it is the first song in the story (and also the first song Sadauk ever wrote back in 1996) This song has some Black Speech that can confuse people since it goes back and forth between that and English. 3, Cursed Land: An old favourite and one of the few songs with no female vocals. Lots of fun riffs to play and some elements where Joppe talks instead of screaming. 4, Battle a God: While recording this song I really went all in with the guitars during some parts. Details most people won´t probably even hear but it was great fun to record. In this song Therése has a bigger role. 5, Funeral Among Roses: For the recording of this little epitaph we went to a beautiful church where they had a big organ, and the guy playing it is a freemason. No clicktrack was used and we did this in just a few takes. Theréses vocals are completely improvised, we just gave her the words and asked her to mess around a bit. 6, Eleanna´s Prophecy: This was a song that I had made a few months before we went in to the studio and I was uncertain if it would fit Sadauk, but when Joppe heard the demo he was blown away so there was no chance of it not being on the record. This is also one of the songs where only Joppe handles the vocals. 7, Vikingagillets Kväde: This is the intro to Sailing Away, we actually recorded this live in the studio while celebrating Sadauks 20th birthday in April 2016. So we were like 10-15 people drinking and yelling in the studio while Joppe spoke his lines. One guy was to drunk and missed the recording session since he was puking outside the facility at that moment. 8, Sailing Away: This has always been a favourite song for me, a bit folkish in the sound. We first had the intention of having Johan Hegg on vocals but unfortunately he did not have the time to do this so Joppe did it himself, and if you listen closely you will hear a clean voice dubbing Joppes voice, this is Daniel (our bassplayer). On this song our old bassplayer Stefan Östlund jumped in on session, he´s a great bassplayer so you can hear some cool stuff in it. 9, As they sleep behind the Horizon: I never liked this song much at all and was one of the opposers of it being on the record. It´s a song from the 90s and I just thought it sounded like crap. But as the other ones did not agree with me I had to first learn and interpret it and during that process I came to like it a lot. I made the outro-thing I just for shitz and giggles to mess with the others but it turned out that they liked it and wanted to keep it like that. Another fun thing is that while Jesper was arranging the keys for this song he told me there were a perfect place in the song for a guitarsolo, and my response was of course "Great, record a solo then". That´s how and why he came to play the solo. 10, Tears of the Sun: Back in 1998 Sadauk recorded a demo (unreleased) called "Tears of the Sun" and the title track I really, really liked. This was a song that no one else in the band really wanted to have on the new album but that was out of the question for me so I got them to record it anyway and it turned out great. When I sent the song to Mats (Ereb Altor / Isole) for him to record the vocals it was stripped down to only drums and guitars. I also did not give him the original demo to listen to since I wanted him to do something different with it and the outcome was in my ears amazing and so different from the original. 11, Who is King in Paradise: This was the first song I wrote to Sadauk and I still think it´s one of the best songs I´ve ever written. The chaos in the ending is orchestrated by our singer Joppe with guests like Mike (Stormburner) and no other than myself on vocals. If I remember correctly it should be (in order) Therése, Rodde, Mike, Mats (me), Jesper/Daniel, Snickars, Emil, Joppes kids, Joppe. 12, Hourglass: Starts like a nice ballad and change gears to the darker side. Really fun song to play live. 13, Sage and Jester: This song was the one I thought would be liked the most by our audience, but it seems it´s often overlooked. Vocals are handled by Therése, Daniel and Joppe. The outro is a fun thing we did in the studio just to close the album. Thats all I can think of right now, I might update this post frequently.

"Rainbow Mirror" for sure. Not his most accesible record but in my opinion his best one and since you already know PE it should be easy listen for you. I also recommend his album "Frozen Niagara Falls" which is leaning more towards Death Industrial but its a total masterpiece. Dominick is pure genius man

I have never listened to Prurient before, but have heard them mentioned a lot. Any recommendations on where to start with them?

Grima - 'Will of the Primordial'

Hi my names Kevin Arrieta. Im from Los Angeles, CA and play in a metal band called Carried Weight. I've always been a big fan of metal but always had trouble finding a community of open minded people who enjoy good heavy music. I look forward to sharing my music and discussing it with like minded individuals.

Oh another thing on my mind: I'm going to have the opportunity to have some stuff professionally recorded through the place I do my guitar and singing lessons. Good thing too because I've got something that is pretty much ready to go and I'd like to pass around trying to put something together.

On my mind today: After 2 cancelled gigs (as opener for Krisiun and Entrails) I'll be playing live finally again on Halloween. In a way it's good we play so late because we'll be able to print merch and CDs by then, not by the other gigs so it would have been another gig for nothing but exposure and 50€, would've loved to meet either of the bands though. Our first gig received positive reception and we were asked for merchandise numerous time that evening, so hopefully we'll be able to collect some cash for a small tour outside the country sometime or a full length release.

It's been a decade for me, wouldn't be overstating things to say that music quite literally saved my life. I'm just going to leave it there since I'm in an ok place right now and thinking about certain things really scares me. Anyway on my mind: I got paid finally! Backpaid for 2 months worth of work AND got the documents I needed for my tax declaration. Still fucking hate this job though.

My local metal pub has a Lemmy day once a year, with Motorhead themed everything, Motorhead music, DVDs on the TVs and cheap Jack and Cokes. It's a great day. Also, the Lemmy movie is awesome one of those great biographical pieces that is fun for the music and for the man and a really cool legacy.

Agreed! I used to work for this Custom Architectural Woodwork Company down in West Palm Beach, FL.. they got a custom build house in Leesburg, FL back in 2009 and it turns out the property was right next door to the Tour Bus driver's home along a private airstrip where Randy perished... as beautiful as the country side is around that area it was an eerie place! I read in an article that one of the last thing's Randy said to Ozzy was that he was going to kill himself with all the drinking and he better get straight!!! pretty ironic huh? Could you imagine how much that must have weighed on Ozzy too? Crazy how not much makes sense in this world... except "The Good Die Young" has yet to be unproven!

Hell yeah! Their album "Death Mask" its a true masterpiece in my eyes. They're the first PE band I ever listened to along with Prurient (another great artist)

Hope your mood picks up soon mate. I know just how rought things can be when you're in a down mood having battled depression most of my adult life. When I'm on a bad day/week/month I shut down completely and just refuse to interact with anyone. Oh and my pay situation would appear to be sorted, though my boss wasn't happy with how it was handled. Still waiting on things I need for tax purposes though and have a week to get it done in so could be in deep shit there.

Looking for someone who wants to sing Death vocals on Industrial Death Metal recordings. Must be able to write own lyrics or have friend who can. Open to all kinds of Deathy styles Grindcore/Black Metal/Core whatever. Here's a link of my stuff which I did with a cat called SuicideJ. I have more mixes just waiting for you!

Man to be honest it was more that I felt he deserved a mention in the "Metal Legends" section than anything else. But I guess in a sense he's not really dead, you just have to press play and listen.

There's a lot of truth to this, but music is very personal, and the attachment that we feel to it and the artists that create it can feel a bit like a friendship. I see both sides of it, but I think Lemmy would appreciate some decorum and just having some sex, drugs, and rock n roll in his honor rather than mourning. Sent from my HTCD160LVW using Tapatalk

So much Lemmy excitement. I feel compelled to speak up, not just about this thread, but about the whole 'Lemmy' phenomenon. Sorry if this is rude (and it definitely is and I don't mean it personally), but none of you miss Lemmy because I doubt you knew him, and there are a billion videos, albums and a few books available to experience the great man. In 2017 you can't take a few steps without tripping over the guy, even two years after his death. The only thing that has changed is that you won't be able to see him play live again or hear new music. There's definitely a sadness attached to that, considering he was a stalwart of rock n roll. But surely none of you actually miss him in the regular sense of the expression. Lemmy was awesome, obviously. But let's keep it Lemmy style and not overdo it.

I miss him too. edit.. I loved the Young Ones episode with Motorhead, was awesome

Yeah, I miss him too :S We need more people like him in this world, not less...but I fear that there will never be anyone quite like Lemmy again.

So many masterpieces.... But for me, i think Before the Dawn is the best ballad ever !

The band that got me into Metal- Black Sabbath when I was about 8, with a Greatest Hits album. The song that got me interested in purchasing Heavy Rock/Metal albums in the first place, however, was Ace of Spades by Motorhead; which I heard on the soundtrack to Tony Hawks: Pro Skater 3. Then Sepultura got me into Extreme Metal with Roots after I'd been into a lot of Nu Metal and Grunge.

Motorhead, when I was five years old
