After the foundation in 1993, Adorned Brood … Read Full Bio ↴The History 1993 - 2006
After the foundation in 1993, Adorned Brood recorded two demo tapes on their own. A little German label called “Folter Records” got interested in the musical mixture of Heavy Metal, magic clean sounds and folk influences. Therefore the talented band got the chance to record their first studio album “Hiltia” in 1996. The feedback on the first album was awesome, and soon they recorded an new masterpiece, called Wigand 1998. Because of its limitations to 1000 pieces each, today both albums are rare to find and fans pay up to 90,00 Euros in Internet auctions.
Disagreements with record labels and line up changes were dominating the following years, but also forged the band together in their will to carry on.
Finally, under „Moonstorm Records“ Adorned Brood grew up to one of Germany’s most famous undergroand pagan metal acts. With their third album “Asgard” (2000), Adorned Brood released a milestone in the german pagan underground scene. With rising success, a cooperation with Lead singer Erik Hecht from Subway to Sally led to a together recorded song on Adorned Broods fourth album “Erdenkraft” in 2002.
The hard work for both albums was rewarded with good critics, high ratings and interviews in nearly all important metal magazines.
With support gigs on tour with “Subway to Sally” or on Festivals like “Summer Breeze Open Air”, “Partysan”, “Wave Gotik Treffen” or “Feuertanz Festival”, Adorned Brood convinced the metal fans with their unique folk-pagan style, pushing songs and often praised live performance.
Now, Adorned Brood is concentrated on pre-productions for the fifth album, which again will represent the continuously musical growing and developing of Adorned Brood.
FAREWELL
Adorned Brood Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He went with the western wind
On a boat that sailed for nowhere
Looking for new land.
Twenty fine young warriors
Went on board that day
The girl was crying badly
Her love had gone away.
Farewell, my love, farewell young warrior
May the gods be with you as brothers of the sword
Farewell, my love, farewell young warrior
I´ll be waiting for you
I´ll keep you in my heart
The years went by and no one
Heard of the boat again
The girl waited so long
By the harbour until her end.
She died sad and lonely
The black death raged across the land
Her love returned the next year
A broken man until this end.
Farewell, my love, farewell young warrior
May the gods be with you as brothers of the sword
Farewell, my love, farewell young warrior
I´ll be waiting for you
I´ll keep you in my heart
When the night is dark and cloudy
There´s a whisper in the wind
A woman singing sadly
´bout her love that had to end
If you go down to the water
And stay there for a while
You may see the Vikings daughter
A vision from the other side.
Farewell, my love, farewell young warrior
May the gods be with you as brothers of the sword
Farewell, my love, farewell young warrior
I´ll be waiting for you
I´ll keep you in my heart
I´ll keep you in my heart
Farewell my love
The lyrics of Adorned Brood's song "Farewell" tell a story of a love that has been lost due to the departure of the young warrior. He left on a boat that sailed for nowhere with twenty fine young warriors, leaving his love alone and crying badly. The girl waited for him for years but she died sad and lonely with the black death raged across the land. Her love returned the next year, but he was a broken man until his end, unable to undo the damage he has caused. The song ends with a sad note, where the woman's spirit lingers, singing about her love that had to end.
