Overlord (Remixed & Remastered 2023)

by Joshua Dalviken

pjohnson61 The fact that this is all the work of one man blows me away. Fresh, exciting and emotional. The artist doesn't limit himself to a particular subgenre of metal, instead what you get is a work of artistic expression from the heart which is so rare these days. I didn't hear the original version but the production value on the remaster is incredible and sounds better than many major studio produced metal albums in my collection. Kudos from an old metalhead. Favorite track: Royalty in Exile.

graham_87 Having listened to the original version many times, this newly Remixed & Remastered version is even better.

It sounds like you are right there in the mix, and you are sent on an audible adventure.

I have said this to the artist himself and il say it here also : I honestly didn’t think you could perfect perfection.

elliotrengasamy I’ve seen this album develop over the past 11 years, from watching Joshua play little riff snippets in his bedroom to demos, to this Remix and Remaster and I’m in awe every time I hear new developments. Truly inspiring hearing this new version when the original was already incredible!

The rhythm guitar tone is also quite literally the prime rib of beef of guitar tones. Favorite track: Crimson Lacrimosa.

I am the one who rules Beyond the veil of life and death The flame within my eyes Burns brighter with each dying breath Years were spent with you at my side Memories shall never fade I dwell in darkness now, all alone In this tomb we called home Farewell, my brothers Lone wolf on the throne New world to conquer True self to know I am the one who rules These demons with a blackened heart The hand no longer turns Eternity within my grasp Farewell, my brothers Lone wolf on the throne New world to conquer True self to know You may know my name as Death You may know my name as Conqueror You may know my name as King You will know my name as Overlord Years were spent with you at my side Memories shall never fade I dwell in darkness, now all alone In solitude I reign Farewell, my brothers Lone wolf on the throne New world to conquer True self to know

Fate echoes between two worlds To the land which once was mine Our mortal foes are lost souls Vision clears by fading light Countless, the years trapped in scorn Fuelled by love but burned by life Eons will pass, soul reborn Manifest the hallowed time In this endless winter storm I will take the cold to heart Our time itself is torn Fleeting moments, flying snow Open your eyes, breathe the air What is this, a waking dream? Ice fills the cracks of despair Petals floating on the stream In this endless winter storm I will take the cold to heart Our time itself is torn Fleeting moments, flying snow Steadfast, storm around me Peer into shadows deep Reveal the secrets of the world I know I have more power Unfolding wings, I soar Unleash the truth within my soul In this endless winter storm I will take the cold to heart Our time itself is torn Fleeting moments, flying snow

A world left in silence Laying beneath the sea of clouds Such ruin and decay The darkness doth enshroud Skies once in splendour Reflecting the hope of the world Are now darkened and weeping Over dreadful disavowed Apocalyptic winds A grim eternal dusk No light will ever reach This wretched empty husk Roam the wastes, forgotten ones Cursed souls tormented Roam the wastes, forgotten ones Left behind as man played God Lamenting skulls will cry Silence resounding through time Tears rain down from the sky Acid rain fills hollow eyes Apocalyptic winds A grim eternal dusk No light will ever reach This wretched empty husk Roam the wastes, forgotten ones Cursed souls tormented Roam the wastes, forgotten ones Left behind as man played God Once there were meadows of flowers And forests of trees standing proud The sun bathed all in its golden light Gilding the days and the hours Darkness enveloped the world Her tears extinguished the sun Smothering all in her Stygian embrace We biddeth farewell to the dawn Roam the wastes, forgotten ones Cursed souls tormented Roam the wastes, forgotten ones Left behind as man played God

Eons ago Through time and space Two titans bound War without age Vocation killed Our universe The pain of a god alone Eternal curse I may perish My honour remains Now I await The day you come to us The god took arms His blade cut deep Goddess stood for us all Cold tears she weeps Alone I stand For those I love I will bear unto thee The meaning of wrath I may perish My honour remains Now I await The day you come to us A world empty With no prophecy With no solace from the pain inside A man broken His world shattering Time will not wait I will perish My honour remains We will never Forget your guiding light

Cold was my sorrowful soul Cursed, my memories of life Tainted, this palace my home Touched nevermore by the light Black wings of fears yet unseen White fangs gleam stark in the moonlight Surrender thy blood unto me Dwell in the depth of the night Eternally Life beyond death Death becomes life Shadows will bow to me White rose, my darling Come now unto me In this draconian curse The darkness in verse Thou wilt join me in elegy White rose, my darling Come now unto me In this draconian curse Existence perverse The light becometh thine enemy Thy tears crimson as the Blood drips from thy thorns Bloom unto darkness, dear In death thou art reborn White rose, my darling Come now unto me In this draconian curse The darkness in verse Thou wilt join me in elegy White rose, my darling Come now unto me In this draconian curse Existence perverse The light becometh thine enemy
8.	Royalty in Exile 06:03	lyrics	buy track
Silent midwinter's night Mountain covered with snow Veiled in darkness yet graced by moonlight A kingdom all of my own Howl, lament of the wolf Symphony for Selene White rose laid on the tomb Owl soars high to Elysium Blue eyes set in stone Upon a frozen throne Ethereal dreams A vision of the place I yearn to be Darkness, take me home Roaming nameless child Flowers wither in chill Tragedy, royalty in exile A tale forbidden to tell Howl, lament of the wolf Symphony for Selene White rose laid on the tomb Owl soars high to Elysium Blue eyes set in stone Upon a frozen throne Ethereal dreams A vision of the place I yearn to be Darkness, take me home The golden wolf Betrayed by his time Guarding his blood from afar Forgotten soul The darkness, his shrine Ascended in death to the stars Drowning in the light The tears of a child Paradise is lost The silver spoon Blackened in his mouth Blue eyes set in stone Upon a frozen throne Ethereal dreams A vision of the place I yearn to be Darkness, take me home

about

(Remixed & Remastered 2023)

This has been a painstaking process but one that upon hearing, I am sure you will agree was well worth it. The result is an album which is clearer, heavier and louder than the original version; a much more "hi-fi" sound overall.

I hope you all greatly enjoy this new & vastly improved version of Overlord.
