Heretofore, the band has released a promo CD called "Ray of Time" (2004), and their first full length album, "Horns of Silence" (2007). They might be compared to Elvenking by some, especially considering the fact that Elvenking's singer, Damnagoras, appears as a guest singer on a few tracks of the debut album.

Goblins in Deadwood
Spellblast Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My father sang a song that told of his land
When he fled the famine and arrived
Here in South Dakota, the wild far west
He was young, alone in this world
For two years the harvest went wrong
Winter was knocking angry at the door
But he did not answered and sailed far away.
You feel you′re going to fall apart
Just close your eyes and don't forget
This song I′m singing in your bed
Don't be afraid, don't lose control now
My voice will guide you through
No matter what tomorrow bring ya
Their eyes are upon you
Goblins in DeadWood
He has always loved his freedom
The herdsman life was made for him
He has been charmed by the eyes of a doe
And his days of wandering came to an end.
Then he opened the barber downtown
Evenings spent here at the saloon
Whistling this song while coming home
Suddenly in the dark he disappeared
And when the night is crawling dark
You feel you′re going to fall apart
Just close your eyes and don′t forget
This song I'm singing in your bed
Don′t be afraid, don't lose control now
My voice will guide you through
No matter what tomorrow bring ya
Their eyes are upon you
Goblins in DeadWood
The lyrics of "Goblins in Deadwood" by Spellblast describe the story of a father who sings a song to his child every night before going to sleep. The song tells the tale of his father's journey to the wild far west of South Dakota, where he fled the famine and landed as a young and lonely man. For two years, the harvest went wrong and winter was harsh, but the father did not give up and sailed far away. The song then transitions to the present day, where the father has settled down as a herdsman and opened a barber shop in town. He spends his evenings at the saloon, whistling his song on the way home. However, one day he disappears in the dark.
The song serves as a source of comfort and guidance for the child, reminding them to close their eyes and remember the song when they feel like falling apart. The father assures his child that his voice will guide them through any difficulties no matter what tomorrow may bring, even if they feel like there are "goblins in Deadwood" watching over them.
