So their collective Ideas let develop varied songs with lots of good influences. The last need was a band name, which was found in “Nordavind” for the present. Finally the band was more or less ready to start with rehearsals. Soon the first gig came ahead in a local biker-hall what was a good chance to demonstrate the new written stuff and get feedback in any way. Unfortunately dissensions between the members caused an egress of Chris and Lena of “Nordavind”. But that was no reason to put the project on ice. The time gained was used for working on the first three demo songs “Rise “After Falling”, “Sword Of Xanten” and “Funeral March”, which was released via MySpace in September 2009. After nights out drinking, a new Keyboarder was found in Rosh. Daniel became the new rhythm guitarist. Now a new band name was essential. Furthermore nights came across spent with thinking about a new name. Eventually and fortunately it was found in “Nothgard”.
- In 2010 the band stared with some Gigs in Germany, Austria and the Czech Republik. Very special gig was the Metalfest Open Air, where Nothgard played in front of very improved and interested fans! In June the guys signed a label and booking contract with Black Bards Entertainment and at this time they work on a debut album, which will be released worldwide in winter of 2010/2011.
In November Toni has decided to leave the band for some private reasons, therefore Nothgard is looking for a new drummer. As long as there is no new member the guys will be supported by a professional drummer.
In December of 2010 the band will play on the Black Troll Winterfest with very popular bands like e.g. Wolfchant. A big tour with Skyforger, Heljareyga, Gernotshagen, Kromlek und Northland will be announced in the spring time of 2011.
Right now the line up consists of Dom (Vocals/ Lead Guitar), Viktor (Bass), Daniel (Rhythm Guitar) and Rosh (Keyboard).
Rise After Falling
Nothgard Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I bleed within
Death’s so close
But still to far
I stroll through the time
Into distant lands
Once I’ve called mine
My sense of life
Lost long ago
Oppressed gasps
Are my only words
Forlorn
I set into the endless night
The burial site
Oh my heart, heart blood is black
Heading towards the end
At the edge of time I recollect
Everyone can rule his fate
From now on
I reaped the reign
Bout mind and time
About my life
Enslaved destiny
The serpent sign
Grew within
The decisions were mine
Tonight I will be free
The reign of life I can feel
So many years I wasted time
In the abyss within
Ignoring the sings
The lyrics of Nothgard's song Rise After Falling describe a sense of fear and desperation in the face of death. The singer feels as though death is near, but unreachable, and describes feeling lost and disconnected from the world around them. They long for a sense of purpose and control over their life, but feel as though their destiny is out of their hands.
As the song progresses, the singer begins to gain a sense of empowerment and control over their life. They realize that they have the power to shape their own fate, and take charge of their mind and time. The serpent sign mentioned in the lyrics represents the idea of taking control and becoming the master of one's fate.
Ultimately, the lyrics of Rise After Falling are about the journey from a sense of powerlessness and despair to a place of strength and control. The singer realizes that they have the power to free themselves from their own mental and emotional burdens, and take control of their life.
Line by Line Meaning
In moments of fear
During times of terror
I bleed within
I am emotionally wounded
Death’s so close
I am near death
But still to far
But it is not yet time to die
I stroll through the time
I travel through my memories
Into distant lands
To places I used to know
Once I’ve called mine
Once I claimed as my own
My sense of life
My understanding of existence
Lost long ago
Has disappeared for many years
Oppressed gasps
Painful breaths
Are my only words
All I can utter
Forlorn
Feeling abandoned and helpless
I set into the endless night
I venture into the eternal darkness
The burial site
The place of death
Oh my heart, heart blood is black
My heart is dark and troubled
Heading towards the end
Approaching the conclusion
At the edge of time I recollect
As time runs out, I remember
Everyone can rule his fate
One has control over their destiny
From now on
Beginning at this moment
I reaped the reign
I take hold of power
Bout mind and time
Concerning thought and the passage of time
About my life
Regarding my existence
Enslaved destiny
A future predetermined and inescapable
The serpent sign
The symbol of deceit and trickery
Grew within
Developed inside me
The decisions were mine
I was responsible for my choices
Tonight I will be free
This evening I will break free
The reign of life I can feel
I sense the power of living
So many years I wasted time
I have squandered much of my existence
In the abyss within
In the depths of my despair
Ignoring the signs
Failing to heed the warnings
