In the same year, the band unleashed its first cold blast entitled "Dawn Of Ice Hearts", a demo, which brought them to the attention of several independent labels from within the metal scene. As the storms raged and snow fell, a furious extreme metal machine began to emerge and develop material for their full-length debut CD.
In 2010, the band signed a deal with Nokternal Hemizphear Records, and unleashed the nine-track blaster known as “Frozen Storm Apocalypse”, featuring some of the most savage frostbitten landscapes the band has created to date.
The immediate response to the debut album has further fueled the winter storms, proving that Wintersoul is an explosive new force in the extreme metal scene. Prepare for battle,the winter holocaust has begun.
The Awakening
Wintersoul Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She silently surveys the once-beautiful and sacred lands
Watching the abomination of the storm's cruel violation,
Waiting as the winds cry words of desolation
Men lay overcome and defeated by this winter of devastation
Exhausted by the spiritual and emotional deprivation
Hatred's venomous barbs pierce and tear their failing hearts
Defenseless against the penetrating chill of unforgiving evil,
Blood frozen by the poisonous hatred coursing through their veins,
Bereft of the warmth of love and life,
Deathly icicles driven deep into weary flesh and fragmented minds
They surrender to despair and separation, engulfed in bitter loneliness
They fall corrupted by the contaminating cold
Bright she glows in an unforgiving sky,
Warmth she radiates upon the Earth so cruel and cold,
Behold the moment of awakening.
In Wintersoul's song The Awakening, the lyrics offer a mournful and bleak commentary about the state of the once-beautiful and sacred lands. The moon is described as the only constant presence in the winter's sky, silently watching the world fall apart as the storm's cruel violation wreaks havoc on the land. The winds are personified as crying words of desolation, emphasizing the emotional weight of the destruction. The men in the song are exhausted and defeated, not just physically but spiritually and emotionally as well. The venomous hatred that has taken hold has left them defenseless against the penetrating chill of evil, leading to their corruption and ultimate demise.
