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.
Prophets Scream
Brocas Helm Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A shadow of what
time may bring
The end is near
the prophet screamed
So you no longer
chase that dream
A bomb won't let
our rage grow old
Hope is gone our future sold
That feeling has the fatal hold
If the dream is sacrificed
I fear the end will be the price
Of the prophet's scream
The lyrics of Brocas Helm's song "Prophets Scream" are filled with apocalyptic images and warnings. The song seems to be speaking to someone who has lost hope and given up on their dreams, possibly due to fear of the end of the world. The "prophet" mentioned in the lyrics is likely a symbolic figure warning of impending doom, urging people to abandon their pursuits and focus on the coming apocalypse. The line "A bomb won't let our rage grow old" suggests that warfare or violence may be involved in this impending disaster.
The lyrics also suggest that sacrificing one's dreams or hopes may not be enough to prevent the end from coming. The final line, "I fear the end will be the price of the prophet's scream," seems to suggest that even those who heed the warning may not be able to avoid the catastrophic events the prophet foresees.
The song's dark lyrics are matched by its heavy metal sound, with distorted guitar riffs and pounding drums creating a sense of urgency and danger. The lyrics and music together create a powerful vision of a world on the brink of destruction, with little hope for salvation.
Line by Line Meaning
In your eyes you've clearly seen
You have witnessed something significant through your own perception
A shadow of what time may bring
You have glimpsed a glimpse of what the future holds based on past events
The end is near, the prophet screamed
Someone has foreseen the impending doom and is warning about the consequences
So you no longer chase that dream
You have given up your aspirations in light of the negative realization
All our days the end's been told
Throughout history, people have always predicted an eventual downfall
A bomb won't let our rage grow old
A catastrophic event will prevent humanity's anger from subsiding
Hope is gone our future sold
We have lost the optimism for our prospects and have succumbed to fate
That feeling has the fatal hold
This negative sentiment is constricting and leads to destruction
If the dream is sacrificed
If we give up our goals and aspirations
I fear the end will be the price
I worry that the negative consequences will be severe
Of the prophet's scream
As a result of the warning from someone who has foreseen the future
