The story

About Merlinter

Behind Merlinter there's just me: a regular guy with a regular life who decided to pour his free time into his true passion — music. The journey began in 2021 with my first single, Journey to the Unknown. A fitting title, if you ask me.

Orchestrating every instrument together turned out to be far harder than I imagined. I keep breaking through technical barriers while learning the art of composition — and there's still a long road ahead. Then came the next challenge: sharing my music with the world. Mixing and mastering proved to be real hurdles, overcome only through sheer persistence… and a touch of enlightenment.

My sound is rooted in metal, but it never strays far from my devotion to epic orchestral music — Thomas J. Bergersen's masterpieces are a constant source of inspiration.

“To me, music isn't of this world — it's a doorway to another. Every shiver through the body, every feeling and emotion it stirs, is a reflection of that other world reaching into ours.”

Dark up in the sky, Shadows filling your eyes, Our hearts begin to seize, Lost in the endless night. Whispers of hope in the night, We move and trust in our lights, Each step our spirits will soar, With strength unknown before. Blind to what lies ahead, We choose to go on instead, Shadows and fears await, We carve the path to our fate. Without finding a way, Hope begins to fray, The silence screams so loud, We fear we’re sinking down. Be strong, oppose the night, To stand and claim the light, For the ones, who seek and see, The force becomes unchained, set free. With no fear, In the dark, With no tears, With no chains. I stand alone, with no fear, In the dark, with no tears, With no chains. Whispers of dreams in the dark, Shadows fade as we embark, All regrets fade from our lives, We stand, unfold, We rise and fight like never before. Without tears, With no fear, Without chains, By will, we rise.

Marching to the battlefield, Hearts begin to race, Death awaits the other side, Memories can't erase. Decisions made, no turning back, Path ahead we face, Courage fills our hearts, we tread, Forward to our fate. I stand tall, we rise again, Through the dark, through the pain, Being strong, we can't be swayed, This is our battle cry. Shadows loom, I forge ahead, In the darkness, no regrets, Every step, a story told, My spirit's bright, and purpose bold. Blood and sweat in every stride, We embrace the fight, Echoes of our battle song, In the endless night. I stand tall, we rise again, Through the dark, through the pain, Being strong, we can't be swayed, This is our battle cry.
