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.
Metallic Fury
Brocas Helm Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dark silver my guitar
Starlight feeds my power
Of flashing metal
Crescent moon must find me
Within a smoke of screams
Flames fingering my body
I live in metallic fury
It seems I'm in control
For my fingers bring the thunder
To this storm called rock and roll
The songs afire inside me
A tingle with my fears
Will blaze and shriek a silence
That only you can hear
Blackness is my music
Dark silver my guitar
Starlight feed my power
Of flashing metal
The lyrics to Brocas Helm's song Metallic Fury describe the essence of what it means to be a rock and roll performer, fueled by the power of the music and the energy it produces. The imagery employed in the lyrics highlights the darkness and powerful force of the music, with the artist representing himself as a channel for the music itself.
The first two lines of the lyrics speak to the artist's connection to the music. The music he plays is his essence, and his guitar is like an extension of his body. In the lines "Starlight feeds my power/Of flashing metal," he explains how the energy of the music is fueled by the stars, the universe, and by his own internal power.
In the second stanza, the artist describes the intensity of the live performance. The image of the crescent moon finding him within a smoke of screams heightens the dark and mystical tone of the lyrics, while the flames fingering his body and the wind howling through his dreams suggest the almost supernatural power of the artist and the music.
The chorus of the song is where the artist summarises the essence of his music. He refers to himself as living in a metallic fury and seeming to be in control, and explains how his fingers bring the thunder to the storm that is rock and roll. The final lines suggest that the music is a conduit for the artist's emotions and that it will convey an intensity that can only be understood by someone who has experienced it.
