Bakken: With music from phantom island…..

Bakken is a Northern Irish Classic Heavy Metal Band, and here are the lyrics of the song Cold Blooded Murder from the album This Means War which was released some days ago.

Terminal mass suicide

Like moths to a deadly flame

Nero in the setting sun

Resigned now to this lethal fate

Merciless avarice

Obsessive rapacity

Signing our own death warrant

Sealing our future in flames

The deafening media silence

Towing the party line

Suited pied piper con men

Fraudsters selling flat out lies

The ears that will not listen

The eyes that will not see

A million voices shouting

A truth that you’ll only deny

Screaming to get ourselves out

From the grave we created

As the lid of the coffin is closed

We’re suffocating

Cold Blooded Murder

Deliberately dragging us down, on your race to the bottom

Cold Blooded Murder

Annihilate all in your way, on your ‘mission self-slaughter’

Hate (you tear, you rip, you crush)

For a world (culture of slash and burn)

That you carved (a lesson never learned)

Are you insane craving…

Death (The smoke will turn to flame)

In the sea (A creeping crimson stain)

In the sky (All living die in pain)

In the air you poisoned

Deliberately dragging us down, on your race to the bottom

Annihilate all in your way, on your mission to end us all

The Emerald Island is a phantom island reported to lie between Australia and Antarctica and south of Macquarie Island. It was first sighted by the British sealing ship Emerald, captained by William Elliot, in December 1821, and the name of the supposed island is derived from the name of this ship. It was presumed to be a small (but high and mountainous) island located at 57°30′S 162°12′E.

«Bakken hail from the Emerald Isle and we bring you own brand of thrashy-power metal»! The track We Fight,

The band states, «With our politically charged lyrics, thundering double kick drums and relentless energy, we aim to spread our message of positivity, peace and respect for our all living things. So grab a beer and celebrate the glory of heavy metal with us!».

Bakken quickly amassed a loyal following thanks to the incredibly positive press attention gained worldwide from the debut album Death Of A Hero including being listed by a Metal Rules.com reviewer as ‘Best New Band’ for 2012. The band’s tight and energetic live performances got them established on the live circuit ultimately headlining their own shows, supporting bands such as Hell, Doug Aldrich and Tim Ripper Owens and touring in Holland with fellow classic metallers Lord Volture in 2015. The track Two-Edged Blades,

With a fresh new line-up boosted by Frank Levi’s soaring power metal style vocals, Shaun Nelson’s (Attica Rage/Ironheart) blistering solos and Thomas Alford’s (Tim Ripper Owens/Sandstone) progressive bass lines, BAKKEN ARE BAKK with a vengeance in 2020 with their epic new full length album This Means War, which Metal Gods TV describe as «a thumping journey of intense heavy metal…..a forty minute thunderstorm of epic proportions 9/10».
