M. P. This EP is a welcome appetizer for the albums to come and it really makes me lust for more - the songs are well composed and structured and the vocals are very well done, reminding me a little of Agalloch. Definitely recommended. Favorite track: Celestial Waters.

RottingChris If you love nature inspired and spiritual music, you should give "Awakening" a shot. Three tracks full of atmosphere and a whiff of "Agalloch". Definitely a great appetizer for Moradins sophomore album "Sonnenanbeter", which will hopefully be released soon. Favorite track: Celestial Waters.

Spring Rain 05:38
Welcome is the rain to the starving earth Life it will breathe into the forest Trees will awaken from their winter slumber And new spirits will stir amongst the old Celebrate we must! New life and rebirth Jera will bring us the spring rain Celebrate we must! New life and rebirth And become one with the earth And when the veil between worlds has become thin Once silent gods will come to speak again We will dance once more with ancestral spirits As leaves blossom from the ancient wood When the last mountain has fallen When the last tree has been burned When the sea has swallowed your home What then will you consume?
2.
That which is a pyre burning high Will always turn to ember and ash Shut your eyes and open the other You will be in another place Breathe the scent of fresh pine and rain And hear the tumble of water upon stone Follow the cascade of souls Into the heart of the world Follow the cascade of souls Into the heart of the world When I have departed I would have my ashes cast into the wind So that I may be free And return to the cascade of spirit
3.
Slowly I drift to an ethereal plane No longer fettered by my senses I breathe the air of a pristine world Surrounded by the essence of my spirit As I wander the landscape of my soul Celestial waters flow and cascade down from atop the mountains I gaze again at the wonders before me Ancient symbols of ethereal beauty The grandeur of this pantheon within Gives shelter to the hatred of mankind These symbols of divinity and courage Are etched on the canvas of my soul Before I commence my journey Throughout time and space I'm left with the heathen beauty Of a landscape not soon forgotten
