08. Blood Cathedral - Hunters Of The Hollow Hill (Gothic/Horror/Symphonic Metal)

08. Blood Cathedral - Hunters Of The Hollow Hill From The Album : MOON OF THE DAMNED Moon Of The Damned is a tragic gothic heavy metal concept album by Blood Cathedral, telling a moonlit tale of bloodline curses, doomed love, hidden beasts and sorrow beneath the silver light. From the haunted woods of Blackwood Forest to the cursed halls of Blackwood Manor, the album follows a man chained between humanity and monstrosity, hunted by fate, faith and those who fear the howl in the night. With dark choirs, heavy riffs, gothic atmosphere and tragic storytelling, Moon Of The Damned stands as a tale of love, loss, transformation and the curse that refuses to die. The beast may fall… but the howl remains. Concept Direction : Moon Of The Damned is a gothic heavy metal tragedy of blood, moonlight and transformation. It tells the story of a cursed man, a doomed bride, a haunted family line and a beast that can never truly be buried. Where Blood Reign Of Dracula was regal and vampiric, Moon Of The Damned is sorrowful, primal and deeply human — a monster album where the true horror is knowing that the beast wears your own face. #cinematicmetal #gothicmetal #horrormetal #heavymetal #powermetal #metal 8. Hunters Of The Hollow Hill A dramatic hunter anthem, following those who climb into the cursed night to face the creature haunting the hills of Blackwood. ‪@Metal_Skald‬ LYRICS : [Intro - Horns, Galloping Riff, Crowd Shouts] [Gang Chant] Raise the fire! Load the steel! Hunters ride for Hollow Hill! [Verse 1] From every farm and chapel door, from every house of fear, they came with guns and silver shot, with crosses, ropes and spears. The blacksmith blessed the bullets, the priest held up the flame, and every frightened villager spat the Blackwood name. [Pre-Chorus] Through the fog and through the thorn, through the fields of wasted corn, where the broken moon hangs still, ride the hunters of the hill. [Chorus] Hunters of the Hollow Hill! Torches in the night! Hunters of the Hollow Hill! Silver burning bright! Through the forest, through the rain, hunt the curse and end the pain. Hunters of the Hollow Hill! Bring the beast to light! [Verse 2] They found the tracks by Widow’s Gate, they found blood upon the leaves, they heard a crying in the mist that made brave men believe. No common wolf could run so tall, no devil move so fast, and every howl that shook the trees could summon back the past. [Pre-Chorus] Through the fog and through the thorn, through the fields of wasted corn, where the broken moon hangs still, ride the hunters of the hill. [Chorus] Hunters of the Hollow Hill! Torches in the night! Hunters of the Hollow Hill! Silver burning bright! Through the forest, through the rain, hunt the curse and end the pain. Hunters of the Hollow Hill! Bring the beast to light! [Bridge - Female Warning Choir] Do not trust the righteous hand, do not cheer the killing band. When men chase monsters through the trees, they become what no one sees. [Heavy Bridge - Male] One by one the torches fell, one by one they screamed. The hill became an open mouth, the forest closed its teeth. [Gang Chant] Fire! Silver! Iron! Kill! Hunters die on Hollow Hill! [Final Chorus] Hunters of the Hollow Hill! Torches in the night! Hunters of the Hollow Hill! Silver burning bright! Through the forest, through the rain, hunt the curse and end the pain. Hunters of the Hollow Hill! Bring the beast to light! [Outro - Spoken Male] At dawn, the village counted bodies. The beast had not been found.
