After a lot of shopping for a new label and little interest, they decided to create and release the "Black Death" LP themselves. For 5 years they worked hard in their Caverns of Thunder basement-studio.
After that, Brocas Helm made a couple of (unreleased) demos, mostly to get a label-deal so they could do a high-quality cd release. Meanwhile, although labels have showed some interest but not enough to actually sign Brocas Helm, Brocas Helm released the "Skullfucker" single.
Brocas Helm later released a live album, "Black Death in Athens", and a new opus, "Defender of the Crown".
In 2011 Brocas Helm announced their breakup at the German Keep It True festival. However, in May 2012 they performed at Ragnarokkr Metal Apocalypse in Joiliet, Illinois.

Brings a tear to my eye

Tear down your curtain
Tear down your wall
The wall of death surrounds you
The answer can be found
You will find
your new beginnings
From dreams you left behind
A new day is dawning
Leave yesterday behind
Tear down the curtain
Unleash your mind
You have the knowledge
Realize you hold the key
You have the power
To set your people free
Soon the wall will shatter
A better life for all
Free to live your dreams
In a world with no more walls

The fall of the curtain
When the performance ends and the stage is blank
Brings a tear to my eye
I feel emotional and weepy
A reason to cry
It gives me a chance to let my emotions out
Release your prisoners
Let go of those who are held captive
Release them all
Free everyone, no exceptions
Tear down your curtain
Remove the veil that conceals the truth
Tear down your wall
Demolish the barriers that divide us
The wall of death surrounds you
You're trapped in a cycle of despair
The answer can be found
There's a solution to your problems
You will find
With determination, you can succeed
your new beginnings
The start of a better life
From dreams you left behind
From goals that you abandoned
A new day is dawning
A fresh start is upon us
Leave yesterday behind
Forget your past hardships
Unleash your mind
Set your thoughts free
You have the knowledge
You possess the truth

Able to pursue your ambitions
In a world with no more walls
In a place where there are no more barriers

A really good US heavy metal album, with lot's of twist and turns. The production might not be the best, but who cares? HEAVY FUCKING METAL!!!!
Ra Pariah
An awesome album produced by an awesome epic speed metal band. The production is raw and has a fuck off and die attitude. This kicks modern metal's polished clicking drum sounds ass.

Legends of their respective style and genre. Love that raw heavy metal sound!
Spectral Lore
Ok, so I think I've found out what's going on with the mix in this record. In each song, there's a different each time channel in which the reverb is put on maximum 100% wet. In the first song it's in the overhead/crash mics, in the second it's in the guitar track, in the third one it's in vocals, etc.

Sick to see real recognize real when it comes to overlooked metal.
Much respect for both Ετερόφωτος & Empires Vanquished And Dismantled.
Greetings from the Netherlands, Madman!
