Drowning sun, swollen tongue Adrenalin pounding against her skull Dry sand grinding under her feet Her iron belle knows no defeat A Thousand eyes of fire and ice They’ve come to see both of em bleed They’ve come to see one of em die Achillia and Amazon under the relentless roman sun Left by all them gods Under the satin wings of Nyx Hunter’s moon reveals the scars of the untold Caresses their bloody hands Turns the arena of pain In an argent sea of human demons Countless attacks, so tired legs Her body forgot to feel pain long ago She remembers the sweetish scent Of her little girls milk-white skin Under Thousand eyes of fire and ice They’ve chosen solidarity In certain face of joint destiny Achillia and Amazon under the relentless roman sun Left by all them gods Under the satin wings of Nyx Hunter’s moon reveals the scars of the untold Caresses their bloody hands Turns the arena of pain In an argent sea of human demons

I wish I was an Enchantress Conjuring things as I prefer No more mournfulness And no more pain Tears turned into stars Hurt I’d turn into pure bliss Just with a little blink Eternity would spit my lost ones out DEATH DOES NOT CONCERN US AS LONG AS WE EXIST DEATH DOES NOT CONCERN US AND WHEN IT DOES COME WE NO LONGER EXIST So hush my precious mortal Tis time to dry your tears Where death there is no pain No agony and fears WE NO LONGER EXIST

I wanna go back in time to talk to the dead to talk to the dead I wanna see uncertainty is killing me I wanna talk to the dead to hear what my ancestors said I can hear the voices of the ghost dancers crying out tears running down my face much colder than their blood GHOST WARRIORS! I can hear the voices of the ghost dancers crying out tears running down my face much colder than their blood Standing on the hillside in the cold dark under the stars My people buried in the ground the ground that once was ours

Lethean Bed 07:43
From the fertile soils of Egypt Polydamna created the sacred lie To rob all grief and anger and expel the chimaeras of mind Just a pinch in the wine and no one will shed no tears no more... One who in Times past has suffered many griefs at heart Passing through wars of men and the grievous waves But now he sleeps in peace I will shed no tears Not though my mother lay there dead No more tears Salvation Just the murmur of the sea Nepenthe take my tears Take my gloom and take my fears Embrace my heavy head on the eternal Lethean bed

about

Crestfallen Queen hail from Stuttgart Germany but could have very well been born anywhere in the dark hazy fog of the seventies. The quintet was formed in 2016 playing their brand of Progressive Blackened Rock. The Doom laden riffs are backed by galloping metallic rhythms and hounded by eerie synths which are then topped off by a majestic voice that lurks somewhere between this world and the next.

Following the release of their completely analogue recorded, produced and quickly sold-out demo cassette „No More Let Life Divide What Death Can Join Together“ (released February 2018) the debut album „Queen of Swords“ pre­sents the detail-loving and unconventional soul of Crestfallen Queen in full length.

„Queen of Swords“ is full of passion and devotion, which is impressively un­derlined by the hand-drawn cover artwork of the Peruvian artist Jose Gabriel Alegría Sabogal. Inspired by ancient philosophy and mythology, the epic work tells the long forgotten stories of fallen heroines and their struggle with loss, fears, drugs, human abysses, self-empowerment, love, life and death. With „Queen of Swords“ History mutates into „Herstory“ and reveals fright­ening parallels to the realities of life of our time.

Crestfallen Queen are not to be taken light heartedly. The unconventional length of the songs speak for themselves where the music is challenging and stirring, a lot like life itself. Anyone who has seen the band live can feel the frankness of this statement. The bittersweet membrane between pain and ecstasy. Goosebumps running down your back at the sound of the hellish scre­ams alternating with a siren-like tenderness. Fury. Beauty. Death. Life. The rediscovery of everyday repressed emotions. Good. Evil. Alpha and Omega. Everything is one. One is everything. Solve et Coagula. Defeat and triumph. Rise and fall. The dialectical relationship of man being thrown into the best of all worlds.

We fall and we get up again. This is Crestfallen Queen - the Queen of Swords. A catalyst. A poetess. The one who unmasks. Inviting us to the knowledge of our limited time on this earth and to meet one and others with sincerity.
