Two Worlds 02:05

With only my faith I left behind the common and familiar to find the truth once and for all. But the journey ahead laid waste to my bones and soon I imagined my end. Shall I hang up my sword and retire? Instead, I found a new home in the mountains. And there you shall find me until the day my king returns with an army of glory. I waited until the blizzards faded and the sun returned to say hello after all. My heart was too strong and the cold would not take me, here we are, I’m alive, but it cost me my worth. But by the end of my journey a force reckoned with me and before I knew it my dream was alive again. A new home I’d found with much more than I’d dreamed of. Double the treasure than I’d set out to gain. But before this heart sees the daylight The winter becomes colder ever. In your mind this is only the beginning. How can this possibly reconcile? But there is more to your story. In your beautiful eyes there is destiny. Show me your dreams, don’t be afraid.

Translated: The winter has gone. A new era begins. Men from the north, defenders of the land, Submit their lives to fate. Long live the brotherhood. The journey begins. The burden of uncertainty shows no favoritism, But heroes they will be. Legends, And legends never die. The path before them is prepared.

These zealous warriors press onward, hoping to enter the next stage of their quest, but the only passage around for miles lies before them where the mountains of east and west converge to meet the deadly depths, the center of the land. The musty earth has consumed them. The looming fog has settled across the bottom of the ravine. Before them stands their greatest enemy, tall and mighty, one and all, from front to back as far as the eye can see. With no time to spare the armies lunge forth. The showdown begins in a tidal wave of decimation. Amidst the carnage, the leader meets eye to eye with a true hero. He knows a man worth fighting when he sees him, and he only came to kill this one. The giant slowly descends the rocky slope to deliver the hero's doom. Meeting the clammy bedrock, he swings his enormous mace to and fro. The hero's eyes follow. To them, the surrounding chaos becomes ... quiet. The real showdown is about to begin ...

Guardians 05:16
Over the hills beyond the sea A king and his men stand guard over all But lurking beneath in the valley beyond The shadows of old are preparing for war Gather your belongings. Let nothing be wasted. Our strength is being tested. Our fate is uncertain. Sing praise. My Lord The shield of our kingdom. Exalt thy name. Sing alleluia. Sing gloriae. Temple of truth. Although evil is slumberless we will prevail. With the wisdom of kings and bravery of beasts Guardians brave the cold for our sake. Your strength is acknowledged and never forgotten. Mysterious is the wind that blows from the East. Courageously we stand against the kingdoms of fear Majestically singing our sacred tune. Thanks be to God for the greatness of our city. As the third day draws near, the beast rears its head And the earth rumbles furiously as the old spell is broken. Sing praise. My Lord The shield of our kingdom. Exalt thy name. Sing alleluia. Sing gloriae. Temple of truth. Although evil is slumberless we will prevail. Defend our world from princes of darkness And gild our minds. Embrazen our hearts. Prepare our souls and our hands for battle After all, evil never sleeps.

A lone voyager sets sails and departs from his kingdom on an epic quest, accompanied only by his most trusted. He must find the truth that was lost amidst the final battle against looming dark forces that threatened to engulf their world. Now the sun is set, the winds are right, and the king's treasure awaits him.

about

Welcome, traveler. Shed your burdens and follow me up the mountainside. Look out over this ridge and to the west you can see the rolling hills and the water’s edge, where the tides set in motion the king's fleet. To the east the jagged cliffs and uncertain winds tell mysterious tales. Either could not exist without the other. Behold the waters edge, the Western crests, a decorated kingdom. Its glory flows like water. Its eyes glow blue. Its heart is red. But from within the valley between, an unknown darkness is stirring and its glory is like fire. Its eyes glow red, but its heart is black. None can say for sure when its wrath will emerge with it. For now it hides in the shadow, seeming to slumber, but one thing is known for certain: its unquenchable thirst for the blood of the destined ...

Champion Dreamer Music is proud to present Legends From the Hills, a drastic leap from the future sounds of CDM owned artist Astrorobics. A tribute to the giants of epic, Legends is a concept album like its predecessor, Superpowers, but this time, the story arc developed throughout production and now each track can hold its own. Legends is an album that just had to be done, like a box on a checklist, but a golden one nonetheless. After all, what's an epic music library without something a little classic and European? Needless to say, Legends delivers more, and won't let you down. Take up thy shield and let the adventure begin!
