Monday, March 13: HammerFall, “The Dragon Lies Bleeding”
Four years after Gamma Ray and Rage toured under the “Melodic Metal Strikes Back” banner, Jesper Strömblad and Glenn Ljungström (both of whom were already heroes in the death metal scene) really took that expression to heart as they respectively wrote and played on HammerFall’s Glory to the Brave. Although the group was Oscar Dronjak’s vision from the very beginning, it was the presence of the two In Flames guitarists as much as the press about this group being the one to bring traditional metal back to prominence that garnered most of the attention. And when put in this context, “The Dragon Lies Bleeding” made perfect sense: Glory to the Brave’s opening track bore many of the same melodic flourishes that defined the Gothenburg sound, but amplified to reflect both Strömblad’s leaning in to those particular elements as well as the overarching HammerFall concept. Really, it was Joacim Cans’ power metal vocalizing that truly separated the track from what other Nuclear Blast acts were doing at the time. This sort of sound was profoundly unfashionable at the time, so much so that the mere existence of Glory to the Brave was presented as an act of defiance, but “The Dragon Lies Bleeding”, despite really being a Gothenburg take on power metal, was executed with expert care and actually did more to restore the genre than most expected.

My natural physical reaction to music comes from a lifetime of punk and metal shows. Any music. When Lucy Dacus says "hummingbirds" in this song, I'm ready to go fuckin apeshit.
Just headbanging and jumping around my kitchen to very soft music while I'm trying to do the dishes. I don't understand it, either. Fun tho

I tell you here
Of all that crimes and hours broken
What never came, will never be the same
I tell you this, I tell you what
The mind that has been flooded
All the exits sealed
A poison set to enter
The unforgiving me
Probes and infiltrators
Infiltrate me
It's in these hours we forget ourselves (Ourselves)
Within a fire that consumes itself (Itself)...Go
No need for your defenses
My angerwall will hold
Take your steady pride
In monotony and beat
Invaders and corruptors
Invade me
It's in these hours we forget ourselves (Ourselves)
And never again
Within a fire that consumes itself (Itself)
A super nova of flame on fire
This broken spirit, blind at heart
Bite down hard on frustration
The siege that can't be broken
This hollow flame of fear
I tell you this, I tell you what
So close without connection
Locked inside the sphere
I take the blame upon me
And scream at what I see
I'm blind at heart
So blind at heart
It's in these hour we forget ourselves (Ourselves)
And never again
Within a fire that consumes itself (Itself)
