Soon the two guitarists began to compose new material and to arrange new songs. But this time, they wanted to set their main aim to the quality of the songs. The songs needed to be technical challenging but also very melodious sounding. So the two of them where working a long time on the songs to make them what they should be. After they finished the songs, they began to search for band members.
In May 2006, Daniel quit the band. He decided for personal reasons to leave the project. Soon after Daniel had quit, a more than fitting replacement was found. Safet Pehlic (Arctic Light) replaced Daniel.
Shortly after Safet joined the band, a new man for the vocals was found. Robert Schroll brought his special character into the band and created the vocals.
Just a few weeks after they completed the line up, Heathen Foray could play a full set of their own songs and began to look for gigs.
In the fall of 2007, they released their first Demo titled "Forest", consisting of four songs: "Dragon's Eyes", "Winterking", "The Wizard's Life" and "Fading Tree".
Due to the very positive reviews and feedback from their fans, they soon started writing and recording the songs for their debut album called "The Passage", which was released in April 2009 through Black Bards Entertainment.
The musical style of Heathen Foray is hard to define. Some people say they play Viking-Metal with strong Power-Metal influence. Others say that they play Melodic-Death-Metal with Folk influences. Heathen Foray themselves confess: "…we don’t know it ourselves. But one thing is sure: The style of Heathen Foray lies somewhere between those extremes!"
No Mercy
Heathen Foray Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Fight Fight Fight hunt them
Fight Fight Fight kill them
Fight Fight Fight show no mercy!
Kill Kill Kill the enemy
Kill Kill Kill all of them
Kill Kill Kill everyone
That's an command!
You would do well to obey!
I gathered you my soldiers
Because I know you are elite
Find for me the cowards who did this to us
Let them pay for their deeds, bring me their skulls
You don't have to question
My orders. Don't even
Think about it.
All you have to do is kill!
My word is law!
Bring me their skulls!
If it would be the highest mountain
Or deepest see
Kill them for me
Bring me their skulls
Come over them like hungry wolfs
And kill them for me
Bring me their skulls
Show no mercy
Find for me the enemy
Kill their whole family
Show no mercy
That's their very own guilt
Like they craved for this pain
I tell you just one thing
They should have let me paint!
Let them taste the smell of gas!
Let them die like dirty rats!
Let them taste the smell of gas!
Let them die like dirty rats!
He wanted to be
Master of all puppets
All he did was just
Bringing shame on his love
Don't dare to listen to lies of the weak!
In the end there is nothing left
Everything lies in ashes, in ruins
Revenge is the only thing left
Nothing more is there alive
He destroyed the shining past
Just to becalm his selfish thoughts
The lyrics of Heathen Foray's "No Mercy" express the intense desire for revenge against an enemy that has caused great harm to the singer's people.

The singer is adamant that the enemy must not be shown any mercy, and that their punishment must be severe.
The lyrics also convey a sense of absolute authority, with the singer insisting that their orders must not be questioned or disobeyed. The image of the soldiers being compared to "hungry wolves" adds to the visceral nature of the song, suggesting a primal urge to seek out and destroy the enemy.
