PKMetal "Energetic stoner metal" is a bit of an oxymoron, but it's the only type I like. Most in the genre have a laid back vibe, even when the tempo gets high. What's better, these Archarus songs are a huge improvement over the album, especially in the vocal department. I want more just like this! With Thorr-Axe defunct, Archarus is my only hope. Favorite track: Erebor.
The Midnight Toker.

The Midnight Toker. The other portion of the Hobbit narrative split with Thorr-Axe. Both must be purchased together for it to be the complete saga. More a Power/Stoner metal hybrid. Favorite track: Erebor.

Jeffery Tillotson Got the album in the mail earlier in the week and intentionally waited until this morning's brew day to listen. This band continues to impress me. Favorite track: Flies & Spiders.

Foehammer 07:45
Set forth from the Homely House Astride fourteen in all Under moon and runes we must reach the door Before the autumn leaves should fall A raging storm, stone giants scorn Reprieve they’ve thought to’ve found Clash and crash, batter and beat Down down to Goblin town Through the dark for eternity We march until our feet bleed At our knees we plead to the king But we shall never again be free All too vain, they know our name Our time is done Flash and crack, murders, elf-friends In the dark a sword is drawn He wields the Foehammer The beater, bright as daylight The biter, the cleaver, the goblin reaver Glowing through the night On the run from the setting sun Amongst the scent of ash and pine From the arms of orcs to the mouths of wolves From tongues of fire to wings of sky
2.
The trees grew arms The leaves grew fangs The dark grew eyes And a thousand legs I’m alone in the dark My friends are dead Dwarven hair Gossamer thread Woven as one Into a single web I’m the lord of the flies But I walk amongst spiders They still draw breath By the glow of Gondolin’s light Be free from these nets You shall not take our lives
3.
Erebor 07:02
A sentinel in the distance affront blue clouds and silver sky The island sits of stone alone, climbing ever high A sea of ash with waves of fire wash through written time As amber leaves bed flecks of snow; Dale turns to night Desolation – Desecration – Retaliation Your prayers, divine – Your halls are mine – Run for your lives For greed or need, neither to be clear Those craven and bold, both are to fear A shield of oak, enemies sworn From flight and flame, hell has been born The king under the mountain is made of scales and claws and wings Foolish heir of dwarf or man has come to claim my seat Tenfold shields and swords and spears, shock, thunder and death Riddles may pass the time, but you may soon bathe in breath Thieving rats – My wrath – Your last Hurricane storm – Your shields, your swords – Shall burn once more Fire on the water, knock upon the bow Sky meets the earth and the depths below In Golden silence sits an empty throne I shall never return home For greed or need From flight and flame For home, for stone For Erebor. Erebor For Erebor

about

Archarus half of the split-album detailing the events of the company captured under the Misty Mountains, navigating through the forest of Mirkwood, and the rise and fall of Smaug the Golden.

Hop on over to Thorr-Axe's bandcamp for morning pipeweed, roast mutton, dark riddles, and human greed so that you can piece this puzzle together., though physical copies are recommended for full story mode.
