Whispers 03:25
Suddenly she stood before me A look and she was away she was away The Spirits whispered behind my back Love will lead you to death Love is the devils name Love is a sacrfice of blood and soul Suddenly she stood before me I wanted to kiss her wet lips But she was gone But she was gone The Spirits whispered behind my back Love will lead you to death Love is the devils name Love is a sacrfice of blood and soul In the woods I saw her shadow In the woods I never felt alone Where are the ghost when you need‘em The Spirits whispered behind my back Love will lead you to death Love is the devils name Love is a sacrfice of blood and soul The streets seem empty Her footsteps are gone Where has she gone Where has she gone Where has she gone The Spirits whispered behind my back Love will lead you to death Love is the devils name Love is a sacrfice of blood and soul

The Pyres 04:09
And we gathered in the evening Collecting wood from the trees In honour of the old gods In the eyes of the beasts Here we stand amidst the pyres The warming fires The burning ashes of life And we danced and drank the nectar Celebrated the sacred rites We saw there was no escape from The shadows of the gods Here we stand amidst the pyres The warming fires The burning ashes of life In the sunrise’ first gleaming We erected the runic tree In the honour of our father The wandering god with one eye Here we stand amidst the pyres The warming fires The burning ashes of life

about

After two albums ('Sons of Cain', 'Blood is the Food of the Gods'), one vinyl ep ('Sacrifice') and an epic soundtrack-like collaboration ('MARS presents The Trail') the German based pagan folk duo MARS has finally created a very own and unique sound between Apocalyptic folk and darkest Americana.

The new song 'Whispers' is driven by a gothic vision of love as an act of fatal sacrifice. Presented in pure singer-songwriter style it aims at an archaic and simplistic beauty. While ‘Whispers’ is coined by Oliver F.’s unique voice and playful guitar play, ‘Pyres’ will head for Marcus S.‘s more ritualistic approach and will most definitely appeal to those listeners into darkest folk tunes.
