    OATHBRINGER have grown as mindset and as an artistic team, to deliver an upgrade of their sensational debut, raising the stakes of expectations for the third part about to come higher, than most young bands could handle. That speaks of a remarkable courage and self-confidence, that reflects in the character of their compositions – equally compact in their togetherness and unique when taken apart, “Tales of Valor” offers very few pitfalls, leaving space for future improvement and excelling in metal mastery. THENWOTHM.COM 9/10

    If Tales Of Glory was all about “sharpened swords, axes and war hammers”, then Tales Of Valor is all about “enchanted greatswords, double-bitted axes and halberds”. This album certainly seemed like a very risky attempt to place Oathbringer on an even bigger pedestal, and one cannot deny that it was an ambitious effort that was not put to waste by any means. Just like Tales Of Glory, this is “all killer no filler”, but in comparison to its predecessor, this is the sequel that beats the original in every way. Yet another great and strong performance by Oathbringer which promised a lot and not only successfully delivered as an album, but also surpassed any expectations that I initially had. If a blacksmith took Tales Of Glory to a grindstone and decided to enhance its performance, the result that you get is Tales Of Valor. The almighty Cimmerian god Crom is pleased once again, and he calls upon all his followers to join him and feast upon the greatness that is Tales Of Valor. METALBITE.COM 9.4/10

    Oathbringer are definitely among the most talented new bands in the crowded heavy metal scene and their second really strong album coming up will cement this fact. If you like classic metal that avoids clichés, yet reminds of the genre’s greats, you may have found your new favorite band here. This is the kind of uplifting, fists-in-the-air type of epic metal that is guaranteed to attract metalheads in front of the stages worldwide. Put these battle-vests on and press “play”. VELVETTHUNDER.CO.UK 9/10

    Already on the first listen, Tales of Valor is a noticeably different beast compared to Tales of Glory. Genre-wise, they are similar, but Tales of Valor is overall better packaged, sounding like a smoother, tighter, more coherent, and 'heavier' machine that delivers a somewhat superior final product. Tales of Valor is a product that any major global heavy/power metal ensemble would not be ashamed of, a product through which Oathbringer, to universal satisfaction, has delivered Tales of VICTORY!

Morgoth 05:45
I am born in timeless hall Created long before the space and time Destined to be the ruler of the world But in the end became the lord of the dark I am the one who rule the night Twisted and black, father of lies Corrupted by the darkest might Like Silmarils I am lost , somewhere in time Behind the doors of night I am trapped Eternally The Timeless Void became my grave But darkness lives and never dies Forevermore In the end you'll scream my name Morgoth Behind the door, lies Endless Void My spirit roams though emptiness Crippled and chained rotting in vain Waiting the day from prophecy To be free again

Sweat and blood are soaking the ground Lightning and thunder tearing the sky while we fight Steel versus Steel deadly dance in the night Hammer is falling, bones crushing down Death is approaching but you can't see fear in my eyes As I look in the sky, no more pain, gates are open wide And I see the Valkyries ride Up in the sky where eagles fly and over the Rainbow Bridge Above the clouds to the home of the gods Valkyries are carrying me Up in the sky where eagles fly and over the Rainbow Bridge I am riding today to the home of the brave Heroes are calling me to the Hall of the Slain Upon the ship, through wide open sea On these mighty waves, my spirit is now sailing free It all seems so clear, fallen brothers waiting for me There is no fear, I know deep within Where one journey ends another journey begins The stars shining bright, lightning my way, in this darkest night And I see the Valkyries ride Up in the sky where eagles fly and over the Rainbow Bridge Above the clouds to the home of the gods Valkyries are carrying me Up in the sky where eagles fly, and over the Rainbow Bridge I am riding today to the home of the brave Heroes are calling me To the Hall of the Slain In the mud by the spear My end is near With sword, and shield I died as I lived Up in the sky where eagles fly and over the Rainbow Bridge Above the clouds to the home of the gods Valkyries are carrying me Up in the sky where eagles fly and over the Rainbow Bridge I am riding today to the home of the brave Heroes are calling me to the Hall of the Slain

Arakis 04:39
The Emperor is calling Fate rolls the dice Who will conquer desert Who is the master of spice I am standing atop on dunes of sand while sun beats me down Desert is calling, wind howls my name, Arakis is mine Riding on The back of the worm Far and Spreading the word I am the One The Ruler of Dune The battles waged, the alliances formed Through storms and strife The Fremen rise, the sand is transformed Together we march Hear me now I fought and won The Ruler of Dune

Holy War 04:04
Another wounded ego, another call to war Hatred is fuel for the pyre Another noble speech, a thousand empty words Many will perish in fire Future will never come, cause history repeats Holy War History repeats In blood, smoke and fire Holy War Hatred spinning wheels Of unholy desire War raging on Jerusalem is falling The holy land awaits To be baptised in blood Blinded by hatred The ignorance prevails Darkness is all that you will find Reaper turns the page There are many more to go The Father King is here He is calling You to join, Another pointless holy war The wheel of time is turning And here we go again The Same old mistake lies ahead The wind of war is blowing And only time will tell Will we break or will we bend
5.
Have no fear, tighten your heart Make Foe kiss the ground Drums of war, beating again Make me proud, my only son May the wind blow stronger And take you fast across the sea May the gods watch upon us And bring you home back to me Son of the North Shield your brothers with Honor and pride Let blood soak the field With valor shining, go into the fight Hold your ground, and you will never yield

Witch's Hut 04:29
Deep in the hills under starless sky Shattered and ruined by fire Lies the cabin, well hidden in the dark A place of power, that still going strong You can sense it, it's written in the wind Tension is going up higher With every step, evil is closing in So, run you fool, and never return Beware the witch's Hut Turn around and flee Cause magic Never Dies And when you’re wandering through the dark Beware the witch's Hut Deep in the hills, through the darkest night Casting shadows brings me fear A haunting presence, chills run down the spine The witch's curse, it lingers near Her incantations, haunting to the core In the depths of darkness, she appears As you retreat, never look behind As fast as you can, try to break free Beware the witch's Hut Turn around and flee Cause magic Never Dies And when you are wandering through the dark Beware the witch's Hut Turn on the lights and tell me it is the dream Just let me leave it all behind But the curse is too strong, this nightmare last too long I cannot run I cannot hide I am crying for help but there is no one there, to save me from this evil might My fate is so cruel, cause I was a fool It’s too late, to run away, it’s all over now I am trapped in the witch’s hut Forever lost

Battles baptized me with steel For Blood Now I Lust Black is the heart in my chests Like hammer it strikes Raven and Wolf by my Side As one we appear With Sword, With Axe and with Spear WE WILL KILL We’ll answer when bravery calls With blood and steel Raven and Wolf by my side As one we appear In battle I am born and I’ll die In blood and steel BLOOD & STEEL!!! I feel the power and rage That boils blood in veins And when I fulfill bloody vow Deathlike silence remains Raven and Wolf by my Side As one we appear With Sword, With Axe and with Spear WE WILL KILL We’ll answer when bravery calls With blood and steel Raven and Wolf by my side As one we appear In battle I am born and I’ll die In blood and steel BLOOD & STEEL!!! HOLD! HOLD! HOLD! KILL!

With two swords he rules the night Steel one for humans that stand in his path The silver one for the beasts in the dark Bound by an oath, he hunts them down THE WITCHER Sharp is his blade THE WITCHER Butcher of Blaviken The White Wolf with so many names Forged and Shaped by the dangers he faced Pay me off I will face your fear And make your nightmares disappear When you face the beast or ghoul The rule is simple STRIKE TO KILL When the World is harsh and cruel The Rule is simple Strike to Kill When it seems the End is near I am the one who’ll face your fear And I will Strike to Kill The Steel dances with Silver tonight Unholy Savior, the Master of Signs The Freak of Nature, Restless and wild Toss a Coin and he will stand by your side

Dragonmount 06:33
In the corner of the room The candle is burning It's time to sleep grandma told She read the story of the man who comes with the dawn On the Dragonmount the legend was born The Pattern weaves, the threads entwine, as wheel is turning The seal is weak, Dark One will rise He will bring the terror to the land far and wide The Forsaken spreading death on his command Darkness is falling Shadow is calling One with the power Alone in the dark To ignite the flame You need a spark He comes with the dawn The Bringer of Light Dragon's Reborn Dark One is gone Terror casts its chilling veil Across the land The tapestry of fate unfurls Darkness falls, consuming all, The light is fading But there is one, who will bring the glimmer of hope
