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.

Brocas Helm Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Screaming starship sailors
Ride unicorns of steel and silver
Howling thru the black and diamond gates
Of Antares
Planet seekers
builders of a new Magic
Searching thru the endless night
Longing for the endless light
Chasing starfire sorcery
Children of a new beginning
Ice jewels are our chain mail
The burning blood of the sun
We are always one
Starting from forever
Paint the sky with rockets
The burning blood of the sun
We are always one
Starting from forever
Paint the sky with rockets
We are children of the Nova dawn
Children that is where we are from
We are Children of the Nova Dawn
Children that is where were from
Children of the Nova dawn
Children from far beyond
Children of the Nova dawn
Children, Children, we are just children
The burning blood of the sun
We are always one
Starting from forever
Paint the sky with rockets
The song "Children of the Nova Dawn" by Brocas Helm describes a group of space travelers who are seekers of new planets to inhabit. The opening line of "screaming starship sailors" evokes a sense of adventure and danger, highlighting the risks involved in space travel. Riding "unicorns of steel and silver" suggests that the travelers are seeking a futuristic version of a utopia, and perhaps trying to create a mythical world through their travels. The line "howling thru the black and diamond gates of Antares" indicates that the travelers are determined and unstoppable in their quest for new frontiers, though the destination may not be specifically referenced here.
The verses of the song carry themes of searching and yearning, as the travelers "slip thru melting pearl of moon" and "longing for the endless light." The repeated line "we are always one, starting from forever" seems to suggest that the travelers feel a connection to each other and their shared history as humans, regardless of the distance they have traveled from Earth. "Paint the sky with rockets" is a phrase that captures the sense of wonder and excitement that these travelers feel as they explore new places and create new worlds.
Overall, "Children of the Nova Dawn" conveys a sense of optimism and daring, as well as a deep appreciation for the power of human imagination.
