sharzy A grand mixture of miscellaneous metal tracks, from traditional to progressive, from atrocious to gloomy, merge into a bizarre but harmonic album. Gorgeous work from artists from all around the world! Favorite track: Deceiver - Takamachi Walk.

Demobanker An imaginative collab that pushes the boundaries of Touhou music. Here's for a new decade of Touhou metal, a place for the angular, sludgey, chaotic, abrasive sides of the genre, but also the wacky, ethreal, surreal, majestic - and whatever new ideas this decade of metal music will bring to the table.

usernamae This album encapsulates both the variety of metal genres and Touhou sensibilities that can enrich the genre. It re-ignited my love for Touhou metal so it's a special album for me, but I'm sure it stands strong even without the emotional factor. Favorite track: On the Edge of Paradise - ArmpitMaiden.

Watching alone, upon endless war A landscape painted in blood For all those who dare to trade hands with fate You must turn back before it’s too late Countless lives lost upon the summit To risk it all, for glory A lust for battle seduced your will And has led you to me ["Oohh.. I've ascended from the heavens Again.. To bestow you your fate.. A message.. A warning.. of your untimely doom.. now awaits at the peak.." ] ---------------------------------------- Forget your dreams Return to home Steel your heart For there’s no breath in bones Awaken from slumber And face not this fate As there’s much more to life Than death by her blade Shackle your hopes Don’t heed the call Climb to the top And be destined to fail To guard is my duty And test those who fight Lightning flows through me By my hands you’ll die Unworthy To pass me By my hands You shall Die ------------------------------------------- All a dream and nothing more A faint taste of defeat A message of untold tragedy Had led you to me ["Oohh.. I've ascended from the heavens Again.. To bestow you your fate.. A message.. A warning.. of your certain doom.. Now awaits at the peak.."] ----------------------------------------- Saxophone Solo ---------------------------------------- Forget your dreams Return to home Steel your heart For there’s no breath in bones Awaken from slumber And face not this fate As there’s much more to life Than death by her blade Shackle your hopes Don’t heed the call Climb to the top And be destined to fall To guard is my duty And test those who fight Lightning flows through me By my hands you will die Beyond the mountains and above the sky There rests a place where the strong come to die A battle so fierce it honors the gods Finish your prayers and heed these last words So we fight For all our dreams For destiny For all of our souls to be set free ------------------------------------------------ Holmgang Ov Gensokyo

Oh, Across.. this land.. breathes the lives of many and yet.. the.. years pass by and I'm stuck in paradise, Contemplating my purpose in life.. Forged in the fires of heaven's brightest flames rests a blade yet untouched and sacred. Broken is the cycle of heaven's endless days. As I begin my descent from the skies.. Torn between the tides of fate I cast away this Eden.. And bind thy will with the Earth below to fill the void in my heart.... Born with passion She travels ‘cross the land To seek a challenge To face her own end All saw, and followed As nature bent to her will And fell, one by one To the might of this sky child. Strike.. the Earth And split ..the Sky Crush.. The pain Away.. All.. alone And In.. her mind.. Desolate.. Are her Dreams.. Strike.. the Earth And split ..the Sky Crush.. Them all Away.. None.. came close To her.. Full might Still.. She felt Nothing ---------------------------- Instrumental Break ---------------------------- Cursed with passion She travels ‘cross the land To seek a challenge To feel true strength Red and White Appeared in front of her eyes To end her struggle And give meaning to life Face your fears Steel your heart Brace yourself For a fight unlike any other So she felt pain and she shed blood Her body broken Yet still she moves on Despite her tears She felt no sorrow For today is the first day she lived ---------------------------------- Solo -------------------------- Torn between the tides of fate She casts away this Eden.. And binds thy will with the Earth below to fill the void in her heart.... On the edge of paradise It’s now she draws her sword And strives once more to face her foe With newfound purpose in life Torn between the tides of fate She casts away this Eden.. And binds thy will with the Earth below to fill the void in her heart.... On the edge of paradise Once more she draws her sword A final clash across the sky Never seen before

There's nothing left of the hope I held close I never thought I could feel so alone Fate won’t let us be so cut me free And bury yourself next to me So I've buried the reaper and stolen his crown I'm slaying the prophet and bringing god down (don't tell me this is the end) To give us a second to take back what's mine To say that 'I love you' the very last time The end of the story is this how it goes It's not what you wanted I'm sorry I know Just tell me it's alright it's all in my head If I’m not beside you I'm better off dead (better off dead) An empty heart where you used to belong Where do we go when ‘forever’ is gone I'm sick of chasing shadows so come bring me home Can you take me with you to where hope goes to die So follow me under don't leave me behind Erase my existence kill my memory I look in the mirror death looks back at me And as the last light fades away When fate betrays us life decays If no one else remembers me It doesn't matter if you're next to me So death is a coward and god is a liar I’ll end it instead If that’s what it takes for me to be with her bury my heart where she rests We'll rewrite the story we'll meet once again Even if I’m waiting ‘till after the end The world I once loved is falling apart I've drawn my last breath I've found you at last

Alone, I've always been alone. No place to call my home. My existence remains unknown. Abandoned, by those I've loved. Distant dreams reduced to dust. Predestined to be forgot Deserted, and left to rot. These horrid scenes within my mind, force me back. To that fateful night I can't forget, stained in red. There's no escape. There's no repression From these crimson memories. Mother! Defiled like a whore. Raped till she bled, but the sadist wanted more. Father! Slaughtered like a pig. Both were left for dead, so what's left in life for me? Why has this life, been nothing but constant regret? Can't retain the thoughts I've lost, but this pain I've always had. While other happy souls. Are content to gawk and stare Nobody tries to help, because nobody fucking cares. Mother! Desecrated as a wench. Drenched from head to toe, this lucky harlot drowns in sin. Father! Mutilated, ripped apart. All these blood endings, bring you right back where you start. What is this life I'm waiting for? What is this hope I can't ignore? Cause all I see is a gruesome fate. Tempting me to the brink of the blade. Where is this god you all adore? Where is this light I'm looking for? Cause all I see are blackened skies. Visions beckoning me to come home.

about

HOLMGANG OV GENSOKYO is an international extreme metal collaboration between musicians and arrangers from across the globe. It's a project that in it's heart holds a candle to both the Touhou metal scene that inspired the foundation of this collaboration, and the Touhou community as a whole for being the infectious melting pot of creativity it is. Inspired off of a previous Touhou Project metal arrange sampler "BARRAGE AM RING", we are here this year, and the next, to share with your our sounds.

Touhou. Metal. Forever.
