"HADES IN THE NIGHT"
I SING OF THE DARK LORD, GOD HADES
LORD OF THE DEAD BELOW
KEEPER OF THE IRON GATES
FALLEN HEROES WINDS BLOW
IN THE NIGHT, IN THE NIGHT
CHORUS
HADES RIDES, RIDES IN THE NIGHT
WHEN THY LAYETH DOWN
DRAGGED TO TATARS
BY INFERNAL HOUNDS
HADES RIDES ATTACKS IN THE NIGHT
ATTACKS IN THE
UNNAMEABLE ONE OF THE GLOOMY FACE
BLACK RAM OF DIVINE RACE
THY DOMINION, THE DARKEST PLACE
RUTHLESS KING, I POUR MY BLOOD
IN THE NIGHT, IN THE NIGHT
THE HELM OF DARKNESS HE WEARS WITH PRIDE
BLACK HORSES BREATHING FLAMES
FROM THE UNDERWORLD HIS CHARIOT BURSTS
TO DRAG SUMMER IN CHAINS
IN THE NIGHT, IN THE NIGHT
WHEN SHE TASTES HIS FORBIDDEN SEED
IN THE GARDENS OF DUSK
UNTIL THE SUN TAKES AWAY HIS QUEEN
THEY ARE ALL DRUNK ON THEIR LUST
IN THE NIGHT, IN THE NIGHT

Times of Obscene Evil and Wild Daring
by Smoulder
supported by 33 fans who also own “LUST AND WAR”
If Elric had a soundtrack it would be this. It's everything you want from a epic metal album. Like a hot poker in the eye, but in a good way.

So I can't leave a long enough review to say everything I want. But I will say this, I love this EP. It's a great little follow up to times, and has just enough of a dynamic shift in sound to prove that Smoulder isn't a one trick pony with their first album's formula. This one really plays up the 70s prog aspects (DUST and Manilla Road influences definitely shine through even harder here). It's still Smoulder, don't get me wrong. Just a different side in some ways, all of which are good.
