about
The Conscript is a somber conversation between a mother and her son in an unnamed medieval village as the young man is being conscripted into war. The music pivots between Progressive and Power Metal, with a galloping rhythm and a time signature based on Fibonacci numbers in the verses. This song is dedicated to all conscripts, and to those brave refuseniks who risk all to not participate.
Single from the upcoming album "Prognosticator."

lyrics
THE CONSCRIPT
Morning sunrise brings a stranger riding
Through the village, bearing fearful tidings
War drums sounding in the distant valley
King's men coming for our sons to rally
None will escape from the fray
Death will await those who run away
Soon they'll be coming to take you away
Fear not mother, what this king commanded
I am skillful, with my sword sure-handed
Your hands tremble as I pull them to me
Be thou hopeful for our fortunes to be
None will escape from the fray
Death awaits those who stand in my way
Look- they have come to take me away
I stand watching as our boys go riding
Hoof beats pounding and a dust cloud rising
Looking back now, how my heart is yearning
Ever knowing that I'm not returning
None did escape from the fray
Cold are the fields where their bodies lay
Death has come to take you/me away
Morning sunrise brings a stranger riding
Through the village, bearing fearful tidings
War drums sounding in the distant valley
King's men coming for our sons to rally
None will escape from the fray
Death will await those who run away
Soon they'll be coming to take you away
Fear not mother, what this king commanded
I am skillful, with my sword sure-handed
Your hands tremble as I pull them to me
Be thou hopeful for our fortunes to be
None will escape from the fray
Death awaits those who stand in my way
Look- they have come to take me away
I stand watching as our boys go riding
Hoof beats pounding and a dust cloud rising
Looking back now, how my heart is yearning
Ever knowing that I'm not returning
None did escape from the fray
Cold are the fields where their bodies lay
Death has come to take you/me away

about
White Crone Portland, Oregon
Lisa Mann made a career as an award winning blues artist, but never lost her love of metal music. Growing up in the mosh pits of the 1980's, she was inspired by bands such as Iron Maiden, Mercyful Fate, Black Sabbath, Manowar, Dio and more. A mostly one-woman project, White Crone is a love letter to this grand era of metal, and a lyrical homage to mystical storytelling traditions of yore. ... more

The Greater Good of Man
by Splintered Thronesupported by 19 fans who also own βThe Conscript (single)β
Female fronted awesome vocal on speedy formula, not your usual and sometimes boring sympho-metal... no no no, this is really something else, and worth listening to. Traditional HM with a hint of speedy/thrashy pace and drumming which makes you shake your head (or booty, or both). The "rogue" vocals makes this especially outstanding!!
