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.
Fly High
Brocas Helm Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Searching to find
Is it more than a nightmare
Or is it my mind
What I've seen in my dreaming
I knew we must flee
A black cloud from
Has cast it's spell on me
Fly
Away from here
I want to fly high
Away from here
Ready for action
Ready to roll
The plague of the Dark Lord
Has taken control
Let's find a rainbow
And climb on its light
Soon we shall battle
With the armies of the night
Search for answers
Search to find
More than a nightmare
In my mind
What I've seen
I knew we must flee
A dark cloud
Hangs over me
End of a nightmare
I rise to find
I am not sleeping at all
And there's no place to hide
Search for answers
Search to find
More than a nightmare
In my mind
What I've seen
I knew we must flee
A dark cloud
Hangs over me
The opening lines of Brocas Helm's song "Fly High" follows the singer's search for answers and his attempt to distinguish between a nightmare and reality. The song is set in a dark, fantastical world that the singer is trying to escape from. The second verse shows that the singer and his comrades understand the urgency of their situation and are ready to fight the "plague of the Dark Lord". The rainbow they are looking to climb on could represent their hope in a better future, even in the midst of the dark world they are existing in. The final verse suggests that the singer has woken up from the nightmare, only to find that the dark cloud is still hanging over him, and there's nowhere to hide.
Overall, "Fly High" is a song about the struggle to escape a bleak reality and the strength needed to face it. The imagery suggests that the world they exist in is not fully external but is also rooted in their own minds. There's a sense of urgency throughout the song, and the message can be interpreted as a call to action or self-reflection.

Searching for the truth
Searching to find
Hoping to discover
Is it more than a nightmare
Could it be reality?
Or is it my mind
Or is it all in my head?
What I've seen in my dreaming
What I have witnessed in my dreams

I realized we needed to escape

A dark and ominous presence from
A dark world
A world of evil and despair
Has cast it's spell on me
Has entranced and enchanted me

Take flight
Away from here
Escape this place

Prepared for battle

Has seized power and authority
Let's find a rainbow
Let's locate a symbol of hope
And climb on its light
And ascend towards its radiance
Soon we shall battle
We will soon engage in a fight
With the armies of the night
Against the forces of darkness
End of a nightmare
The conclusion of a horrifying experience
I rise to find
I awaken to discover
I am not sleeping at all
I am fully conscious
And there's no place to hide
And I cannot escape
