ANGUS McSIX and the Sword of Power

Angus McSix and the Sword of Power is the debut album of ANGUS McSIX.

ANGUS McSIX is an international power metal band formed by Swiss singer Thomas Winkler and German producer, vocalist and guitarist Sebastian "Seeb" Levermann. The first album *Angus McSix and the Sword of Power* was released on 21 April 2023 through Napalm Records. The band members each embody a character in the concept story told through this album.

## Story

After Prince Angus heroically died in one of the greatest battles in the history of man and goblinkind, all hope in Scotland and the whole galaxy seemed lost. In the Realm of Martyrs, everything faded away for Angus like a blurry dream from the distant past. But when he is suddenly reminded that his home is being threatened, the prince sets out to return to the world of the living.

The only way leads through a portal in the depths of hell, sealed by the almighty sword Sixcalibur. When Angus draws the blade, he gets a fundamental upgrade and transforms into the golden hero ANGUS McSIX, escaping the underworld! Willing to defeat his old enemy once again, Angus has no idea that he has just opened the gateway back to the world of the living to a much darker power: Arch-Demon Seebulon

To defeat the origin of all evil, the risen warrior ANGUS McSIX has formed new alliances with Buff Berserker Skaw! from the North (Manu Lotter, ex-Rhapsody of Fire) and the beautiful Queen of the Lazer-Amazons Thalestris (Thalia Bellazecca, ex-Frozen Crown), gathering their collective strength to fight the most epic battle in the history of Scotland. Only together there is still hope that Scotland and the entire universe will not fall under the diabolical dominion of Seebulon.

While riding on the back of a Pegasus, head-bopping techno beats and synth-waves are abound on “Ride to Hell“. Driven by mighty harmonies and striking rhythms, Angus draws “Sixcalibur”, the Sword of Power, to open the sealed gate of hell. Catchy guitar solos underline the sword’s powerful capability of gaining higher levels each time an enemy is killed by its blade. “Master of the Universe" continues the epic adventure and marks the comeback of ANGUS McSIX as he returns from the abyss. Euphoric and energetic melodies mingle with his legendary powerful vocals. The portal does lead Angus back to Scotland, but directly to the dawn of time. After the glorious warrior defeats an invasion of hellish “Fireflies of Doom”, the dwellers of the Holy Dwarven Empire of Dundee provide him the "Laser-Shooting Dinosaur", set to music in the energetic and catchy party track, reminiscent of the good old 8-bit video game days. As the last hope for this world, Angus is now to ride to the northern islands of Stenness to discover the secret of his own destiny.

## Lyrics and Lore (In Order)

### Sixcalibur

Sixcalibur
Feared by ghoul and goblin
The power of the sword
Conquered hell and abyss
Defeated evil lords
A thousand centuries ago
Archdemon Seebulon
Had been banned for eternal times to come
By the blade forged to prevail (all hail)
Sixcalibur
The astral fire burns in my veins again (Sixcalibur)
Unite me with the flame (Sixcalibur)
Empowered by the key to eternity (Sixcalibur)
You and me were meant to be (Sixcalibur)
Darknеss starts to tremble
Like lightning hits thе foes
With each slaughtered enemy
Its magic power grows
Every stroke kills many trolls
Some seven at one blow
Stronger force than anything we know
Mighty blade will never fail (all hail)
Sixcalibur
The astral fire burns in my veins again (Sixcalibur)
Unite me with the flame (Sixcalibur)
Empowered by the key to eternity (Sixcalibur)
You and me were meant to be (Sixcalibur)
Hail, hail, hail, all hail
Hail, hail, hail, all hail
Hail, hail, hail, all hail
Hail, hail, hail, all hail
Hail, hail, hail, all hail
Hail, hail, hail, all hail
Hail, hail, hail, all hail
Hail, hail, hail, all hail
Sixcalibur
The astral fire burns in my veins again (Sixcalibur)
Unite me with the flame (Sixcalibur)
Empowered by the key to eternity (Sixcalibur)
You and me were meant to be (Sixcalibur)

### Eternal Warrior

In the realm of martyrs now
The people of the world calling for me
Death conquered, through fire I have gone
But visions of a future past
Burned in me and will burn forever on
That's why I will return
Because I am
Eternal warrior
With a heart as pure as steel
Eternal warrior
Fight for all that's real
Eternal warrior
Claim forever victory
Eternal warrior
In me
And I ride to the end of these vast lands
Across a mighty canyon
A hunchbacked manikin waving his hand
He's shouting to search for astral key
To open up a portal deep in hell
To alter space and history
Let justice be my guide
I am starting on my way
With glory I'm allied
Because I am (because I am)
Eternal warrior
With a heart as pure as steel
Eternal warrior
Fight for all that's real
Eternal warrior
Claim forever victory
Eternal warrior
In me
Soon now, I will return
Because I am (because I am)
Eternal warrior
With a heart as pure as steel (with a heart as pure as steel)
Eternal warrior
Fight for all that's real (fight for all that's real)
Eternal warrior
Claim forever victory
Eternal warrior
In me

### The Key to Eternity

On this glorious quest
Riding through fields, over infinite plains
Towards horizon afar
Determined to find what has never been found
A fragment of a star
A gleam in the night on a mountain ahead
Reflecting the moon in the sky
The wind now is whispering that I shall return
On my way up high
But no force can stop me now
Carry on, never rest
On this glorious quest
Let the fire in me burn forever
Over mountain and sea
I'm in search of the key
To eternity
I will fight, I will win
I will never give in
With the spirit of valour forever
Feel the power in me
When I hold the key
To eternity
There lies the star key, enshrouded in light
Waiting to change space and time
Framed by celestial gold made of steel
Forged by will divine
Guarded by angel in highest command
Atop of a Pegasus proud
Shouting at me with a thunderous voice
From hills resounding loud
But no force can stop me now
Carry on, never rest
On this glorious quest
Let the fire in me burn forever
Over mountain and sea
I'm in search of the key
To eternity
I will fight, I will win
I will never give in
With the spirit of valour forever
Feel the power in me
When I hold the key
To eternity
Trick the guard, quick
Mount his horse with wings as white as snow
Jump off the cliff
And sail away to lands far below
Far, far below
As unfathomable as the depths of the canyon before him were
So unfathomable was his adventure ahead while our valiant hero
Was gliding beneath the infinite skies into the unknown
And when he crossed the canyon on his Pegasus
The first light of dawn couldn't lift the dark burden closing in on him
As he suddenly became aware that he could return
To the realm of the martyrs nevermore
Carry on, never rest
On this glorious quest
Carry on, never rest
On this glorious quest
Let the fire in me burn forever
Over mountain and sea
I'm in search of the key
To eternity
I will fight, I will win
I will never give in
With the spirit of valour forever
Feel the power in me
When I hold the key
To eternity
Feel the power in me
When I hold the key
To eternity

### Ride to Hell

Of the underworld we ride
Descending deeper down towards hell's core
The ghouls and nightmares lurking here
All creatures I made die
Flee from us, afraid to die once more
Let's go down
Ride on, ride on
Star key, bring me back to life
Ride on, ride on
Make my questing now revive
I'm gonna ride, ride, ride
I'm gonna ride through the bright, bloodred moonlit sky
I'm gonna ride to hell
To fight and break the spell
Of death, come join me on my
Ride, ride, ride
I'm gonna ride through the bright, bloodred moonlit sky
I'm gonna ride to hell
To fight and break the spell
Of death, come join me on ride
Willed to facing evil king
I'm entering the gates
But only demon skull awaiting me
The dark lord struck by mighty sword
With hilt removed thenceforth
Reconnect now blade and astral key
Pull it out
Ride on, ride on
Ancient weapon glows again
Ride on, ride on
Now the darkness will be slain
I'm gonna ride, ride, ride
I'm gonna ride through the bright, bloodred moonlit sky
I'm gonna ride to hell
To fight and break the spell
Of death, come join me on my
Ride, ride, ride
I'm gonna ride through the bright, bloodred moonlit sky
I'm gonna ride to hell
To fight and break the spell
Of death, come join me on ride
Ride with me beyond the sun
Back to where all time begun
Claim the sword, unlock upgrade
Win the power of the blade
Epic battles will be fight
With magic steel and laser light
Save the kingdom on the other side
I'm gonna ride, ride, ride
I'm gonna ride through the bright, bloodred moonlit sky
I'm gonna ride to hell
To fight and break the spell
Of death, come join me on my
Ride, ride, ride
I'm gonna ride through the bright, bloodred moonlit sky
I'm gonna ride to hell
To fight and break the spell
Of death, come join me on ride

As they reached the plateau, Angus saw a steep, narrow gorge opening before them. He felt the Pegasus resist riding further towards it, but the manikin grabbed the mount's mane and relentlessly spurred it on. Angus knew immediately that this was the maw to hell. He looked at the Key to Eternity in his hands and wondered if he had made a huge mistake by bringing it here, but now it was too late to turn back.

### Master of the Universe

(Downloading upgrade)
I have drowned in the fires
But haven't lost my soul
Fallen hero, a legend now I'm reborn
Glory left my hammer
But now I wield the sword
Of primal power created once by the gods
My body was dead, I couldn't have been deader
But I came right back one better
(Whoa-oh)
And the light will shine forever
It all has come together
(Whoa-oh)
I'm the master of the universe
(Whoa-oh)
And my green has turned to gold
New forces will unfold
(Whoa-oh)
Hail the master of the universe
Evil ruled in the future
But now I'll change the past
Darkest darkness, your end is nearing at last
I will save all the people
Of every galaxy
Mighty hero, back in real reality
I got stabbed through my old armor made of leather
But guess who's back one better
(Whoa-oh)
And the light will shine forever
It all has come together
(Whoa-oh)
I'm the master of the universe
(Whoa-oh)
And my green has turned to gold
New forces will unfold
(Whoa-oh)
Hail the master of the universe
(Whoa-oh)
And the light will shine forever
It all has come together
(Whoa-oh)
I'm the master of the universe
(Whoa-oh)
And the light will shine forever
It all has come together
(Whoa-oh)
I'm the master of the universe
(Whoa-oh)
And my green has turned to gold
New features will unfold
(Whoa-oh)
Hail the master of the universe
Of the universe
(Upgrade complete)

### In a Past Reality

To caves beneath what will be
A mighty proud city
Far away from now
A dwarven diviner
Has dreamt of death and fire
A fate dark and dire
But hope has returned
Now with the sword I have the power
To fight the future's destiny
And now I have arrived
In a past reality
I thought this was my final hour
But I'm alive and I am free
To rewrite history
In a past reality
I see from a distance
A young lass in resistance
Defending existence
Threatened by troll horde
My blade glows most mightful
When slaying goblin and troll
To break chains of evil
Prisoner set free
With mega-mighty magic
Of the sword I will transform
Frightened, desperate beggar-girl
To laser Amazon
Now with the sword I have the power
To fight the future's destiny
And now I have arrived
In a past reality
I thought this was my final hour
But I'm alive and I am free
To rewrite history
In a past reality
Suddenly, a fierce, interdimensional rumble sounded from afar
And the earth trembled
The sky above the primordial dwarven caverns
Turned as red as blood
As Angus realized with horror that the maw of hell had opened
And an endless swarm of fireflies arose from the abyss
Now with the sword I have the power
To fight the future's destiny
And now I have arrived
In a past reality
I thought this was my final hour
But I'm alive and I am free
To rewrite history
In a past reality
Now with the sword I have the power
To fight the future's destiny
And now I have arrived
In a past reality
I thought this was my final hour
But I'm alive and I am free
To rewrite history
In a past reality

### Fireflies of Doom

The true ambassadors of gloom
Their horns are shining through the darkest night
Get ready for the fight!
Fireflies of doom
The true ambassadors of gloom
Their horns are shining through the darkest night
Get ready for the fight!
Fireflies, fireflies
Fireflies, fireflies of doom
Fireflies, fireflies
Fireflies, fireflies of doom
With eyes of burning hell flames
They are heralds of the end
Their stings bring death and great pains
There is no way to defend
Whirring from the abyss
With radioactive horns
And giant equine bodies
Like undead unicorns
But they are
Fireflies of doom
The true ambassadors of gloom
Their horns are shining through the darkest night
Get ready for the fight!
Fireflies, fireflies
Fireflies, fireflies of doom
Fireflies, fireflies
Fireflies, fireflies of doom
Doom, doom, doom, doom
Doom, doom, doom, doom
Doom, doom, doom, doom
Doom, doom, doom, doom
The holy dwarven empire
Succumbs to tragic fate
From mutant insect hellfire
No dwarf can escape
Fireflies of doom
The true ambassadors of gloom
Their horns are shining through the darkest night
Get ready for the fight!
Fireflies of doom
The true ambassadors of gloom
Their horns are shining through the darkest night
Get ready for the fight!
Fireflies of doom
Fireflies of doom, they are
Fireflies of doom
Fireflies of doom
When Angus finally reached the caverns, the dwarven diviner was in his last breaths.
He looked up and gasped, "Go to Stenness, there you will learn the secret of your destiny.
It is our only hope if evil breaks the seal.
Therefore, take what the dwarven Samurai cavemen of Japan have provided
ride fast on our laser dinosaur of steel!"
Fireflies of doom
The true ambassadors of gloom
Their horns are shining through the darkest night
Get ready for the fight!
Fireflies of doom
The true ambassadors of gloom
Their horns are shining through the darkest night
Get ready for the fight!
They are the fireflies of doom

Thalestris whistled through her fingers and a huge eagle swooped down to her. As if she had expected this, she climbed onto the back of the giant bird and soared into the skies with a blood-curdling battle cry. From the pit that had opened at the Dwarven caverns, the giggling voice of the manikin resounded like whispering winds. But this time, Angus was sure that he understood the words correctly:
"The One that was banished to the Hell of Hell will soon be free because you lifted the spell. The cycle of time restarts again, and time that has passed ever since has passed in vain, as all the Good will vanish, only Evil will remain."

### Amazons of Caledonia

Fearless warrior maids, trained to the best of the best
Led by Thalestris, queen of Amazons
Shooting mighty evil with her laser guns
Now arming for war
Ready to soar
High up on eagles
Joining the brave force of light
To fight once more
Riding over the rainbow
Higher than the furthest star
A blazing fire in the darkest night
Amazons of Caledonia
A battle-hardened myriad has heard the call
There is no surrender, it is to prevail or fall
Arrows with nukes and goblin target search
Faster than the wind they fly, let's start the purge
Daughters of might
Rise and unite
Fury is fuelled
And courage shining bright like the sun
Combat is on tonight
Riding over the rainbow
Higher than the furthest star
A blazing fire in the darkest night
Amazons of Caledonia
Riding over the rainbow
Higher than the furthest star
A blazing fire in the darkest night
Amazons of Caledonia
Riding over the rainbow (we're riding now)
Higher than the furthest star (higher than the furthest star)
A blazing fire in the darkest night (a blazing fire's night)
Amazons of Caledonia

### Laser-Shooting Dinosaur

I'm riding on my mighty laser-shooting dinosaur

Woah-oh, woah-oh, oh-oh-oh

Striking the evils in the dark
With his night scope zoom device

From his maw there comes a flame
Burning away our enemies

### Just a Fool Will Play Tricks on Angus Mcsix (Bonus Track)

Just a fool, oh, just a fool
Just a fool will play tricks
On Angus McSix
Just a fool, just a fool
Just a fool, oh, just a fool
Just a fool will play tricks
On Angus McSix
I was riding on my dinosaur
From the islands lying in the north
In the dark tried a hiding goblin horde
To steal my sword, don't touch my sword!
I thought I heard a princess call my name
It turned out it were goblins all the same
Trying to play their shady goblin game
They died in pain, but not in vain
Meeting tragic fate to level-up my blade
Just a fool, just a fool
Just a fool, oh, just a fool
Just a fool will play tricks
On Angus McSix
Just a fool, just a fool
Just a fool, oh, just a fool
Just a fool will play tricks
On Angus McSix
On the way to a place I'd never been
Near the burgh of ancient Aberdeen
I was waked by a creature never seen
It stole my dream, don't break my dream!
Seven heads and the body from a snake
Legend speaks of scales that never break
But my sword was more than they could take
I got to make a juicy steak
Serving as a meal for my dinosaur of steel
Just a fool, just a fool
Just a fool, oh, just a fool
Just a fool will play tricks
On Angus McSix
Just a fool, just a fool
Just a fool, oh, just a fool
Just a fool will play tricks
On Angus McSix

Against dark powers
Fight will be fight!
