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.
Into Battle-1984
Brocas Helm Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Into battle we ride
Throught the dark forest
With halberd by my side
Into battle
Into battle we ride
I've got the memory
Of my lady love deep down inside
And I'm crying
The demon lives in the king
Crying, his fire burns without sin
Broken hearted
Broken hearted I ride
I know I'll never see
My queen, my love alive
Who is to blame
For the misery of I
You'll find the answer
If you stare the single eye
And I'm crying
The demon lives in the king
Crying, his fire burns without sin
Into battle
Into battle we fly
In my metal fortress
With my lazer at my side
Nothing has changed
The game's played the same
We fight the battles
So the foolish kings may reign
Oh, I'm crying
The demon lives in the king
Crying, his fire burns without sin
The song "Into Battle" by Brocas Helm depicts a warrior getting ready for battle with his fellow soldiers. As they ride through the dark forest, the warrior carries a halberd by his side and recalls the memory of his lady love deep down inside. However, he is broken-hearted as he realizes he will never see her again. He contemplates who is to blame for his misery and believes he will find the answer if he stares into the single eye. The song ends with the warrior flying into battle in his metal fortress with his lazer at his side to fight the battles for the foolish kings who reign.
The lyrics of the song convey a sense of sadness, loss, and despair, which were common themes in heavy metal music at the time. The chorus "And I'm crying, the demon lives in the king, Crying, his fire burns without sin" reflects on the warrior's anguish as he faces his dangerous enemy, the king.

Never judge an album by it's incredibly dull cover. This rips.
@drew6257
The cover was actually chosen by the record label without the consent of the band.
@feverhawk3991
