#frosttide

In Kilead, their version of Christmas is called The Frosttide! A two week celebration of warmth and light during the coldest and darkest part of winter. Decor and dress are inspired by this, with furs, marigolds, dried peppers, and magick lights.

Art inspired by this iconic Yuri on Ice piece:

Frosttide - “Carved Into Ice”

That hilarious intro though. A band’s life on tour. And that outro! HAHAHA “where’d the pick go?!” I’m ded. hahaa!!

Ok I still consider myself new to listening to this band but I really like them. A lot. TURN IT UP LOOOOUDER!!!

“The wind has calmed down, we’re left to drift in a weak stream. Barely enough to keep the ocean from freezing... Exhaling is visible, and the cold bites to the bones. Looking around, trying to find a clue where to go...”

“The shimmering of the sea...turned to cold white fields... The ocean’s frozen! The cold carved us into ice! It’s calm again, just like when we’ were waiting... [Waiting!] ...for the cold winds to howl! Tear up the sails! Blow the masts down! Nowhere to go! No shelter to be found!”

Frosttide - “Final Hour”

I’m new to listening to this band but I do like their metal and grand sound. It’s really good and very smooth on the ears (my ears at least). I daresay, I would call this song ‘epic’.

“Long ago, we committed to a purpose to protect our world. Fight every war. Leaving everything behind. Trusting we’ll stand for what’s right. After years of living in battle you fed from our sacrifice. In blindness you fail to perceive the turmoil leading to our demise.”

“By the highlands, under the night-sky, I wait for your return...to bring back the life we once had. Stay strong. It won’t be long. To come back home, where you belong.”

“The sun has risen upon us. We have served our purpose. We are alive. The battlefield, stained by blood of the brave ones who sought for a better life. My final hour is close to and end. I now see who you really are.”
