After having recorded an EP they were invited to a local radio show called Domino which was broadcasted on Saturday evening. Two of the four songs off the EP went on air and the next day they got a phone call from Mausoleum Records saying that they would cover all recording expenses and give them a contract for the EP which the band accepted. During their career Ostrogoth got to play with bands like Def Leppard, Loudness and Manowar twice. The last line-up included guitarist June Martins from Brazil and bassist Sylvain Cherotti. They did some gigs, released their last album and there were plans to go on tour in Germany and the USSR. Due to problems with visa documents for June it never happened and eventually the band was put to rest in 1988. Mario, June and Sylvain formed Hermetic Brotherhood and released one album and did a few shows before calling it quits. Peter recorded two albums with his band Mystery. Rudy Vercruysse didn't play for five years before forming Run 4 H, a band playing covers by bands like Deep Purple, Manowar and AC/DC.

Scream Out
Ostrogoth Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Scream out if you can take no more.
Scream out, try to control yourself
by way of screamin' out!

Oh come on, take care of yourself.
Remember what life can feel like.
Never cry in a cloudless sky,
when you've nothing but dreams.

When you fear the thought in your mind
every night you're alone,
then look up: see a thousand lights,
bright as the sun.
Loneliness will fly away,
always sun in the rain!

Watch out and go away along the sky.
Go shouting "Golden days are near"
So cry.
"Scream out if you...
Scream out if the're troubles
in your mind.
Scream out, try to cover yourself
by way of screamin'out!

Oh come on, take care of yourself.
You're a man, not a reptile or shell.
Can't you see the clouds escape,
crumblin' darkness away!

When you hear the sound of tears,
when you're angry and wild,
it's a time to raise your eyes
if the sun is up high.
Loneliness will fly away,
always sun in the rain.

Watch out and go away along the sky.
Go shouting "Golden days are near"
So cry.
"Scream out if you...
Scream out if the're troubles
in your mind.
Scream out, try to cover yourself
by way of screamin'out! horus

Scream out if you ...
