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.
Black Death
Brocas Helm Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Black death in the air
Black death on the insects
Who nest in my hair
Black death all around us
Black death coming fast
Black death is the reason
Ring around the Rosie
Pocket full of Posie
Ashes, Ashes
We all fall down
Black death all around us
Black death at my feet
Black death is the reason
It's unsafe to eat
Don't you come around here
If your want to last
If you don't like it
We'll kick your bloody ass
Around every corner
In every town
The feeling of death
It won't get me down
I'll fight to the finish
I'll fight till I die
Black death is the reason
You all shall die
The lyrics to Brocas Helm's song Black Death describes the devastating impact of the bubonic plague, famously known as the Black Death, on people's lives during the Middle Ages. The opening stanza of the song highlights the omnipresence of the disease by describing its presence not only in the water and air but also in insects. The second stanza emphasizes the contagious nature of the plague by stating that it is spreading fast and the reason why many will not survive.
The lyrics allude to the nursery rhyme "Ring around the Rosie," which most likely originated during the bubonic plague's outbreaks. "Ring around the Rosie" refers to the circular red rash that appeared on the infected person's skin, "Pocket full of Posie" refers to the herbs people carried around in their pockets, hoping it would protect them from the disease's spread, and "Ashes, Ashes, We all fall down" refers to the ritual of burning the infected person's belongings and the high mortality rate of the disease.
The song's chorus repeats the refrain of "Black death all around us" and highlights its impact on daily life, from not being able to eat safely to not being able to trust outsiders for fear of further contagion. The last stanza emphasizes the resolve of the person singing the song to fight the disease and eventual fate.
