Golden Axe: Legend in his own making, and as awesome as the game franchise I presume he's named after.

Have fun with this one:

Not lyrics, but here are the scans from this demo:
http://www.metal-archives.com/albums/Cy ... _Du/117411
There is lineup and recording information, but I can't decipher the names. Also, at least some of those people must be now in CYT, but are using different pseudonyms, so maybe some research is required here.

Is it OK to put the lyrics printed in official release but slightly incorrect and part incomplete?
Printed: "the devil"; in fact, the singer screams: "messiah" etc.
Incomplete: if some lines singing are missing in the lyrics...

If the line repeated two/three times but printed only one time should I copying them or writing "(x2)" after each one?

What about spelling mistakes, "bad" English, like "you" instead of "your", devils/satans instead of devil's/satan's etc.?
Fix 'em or leave 'em?

And what to do with strange/wrong/unnecessary punctuation when each line end with . (dot) and not with (,) as it should be or have too much ......... instead of just ... ?

In short: should I care to fix the lyrics or put it exactly as in the original release, with all mistakes and ugliness?

We don't really have a firm policy on that. I'd say, stay as close to the way it's written in the booklet as possible - but if there are obvious typos it's okay to correct them.
For parts missing in the booklet: I'd either leave them away, or (if I have a proper transcription) add them together with a comment that they are just transcribed by listening.
Parts in the booklet but not sung: I'd add them but add a comment that they are not sung.

(from http://www.oginodesign.com/projects/tri ... cnosti.php)

So over the past month, I can safely say that I recovered more than 4000 entries of lyrics from mojibake parasite. For example, one month ago, there were more than 2600 lyrics affected by � (one realization of unicode replacement character U+FFFD, the other being �); now there are only 13, and I can recover one more entry, so there are essentially 12. But I really have difficulties with these 12 entries and they are nowhere to be found online. There are

(Only diacritical letters are affected)
Horna > Korpin Hetki (track 1, Finnish, å, ä, ö)
Ramses > Apocalipsis (all 8 tracks, Spanish, ñ á, é, í, ó, ú, ü ¡ ¿)
Ohvrikivi > Forgotten Screams (track 3, 5, 6, Estonian, š, ž, õ, ä, ö, ü)
Lustnotes > Oblivion (track 3, French)
This last one is quite strange: the diacritical letter together with the immediate next letter is deformed into one � (usually only the diacritical letter is deformed). For example: Line 8 reads "Petite fille si fra�he", I think the last word is fraîche. So not only the letter î is lost, but also the letter c after î.

After you fix the problem, mark the report resolved or close it.

Wow, nice work.


I've fixed most in this one, but a few are ambiguous and/or my Spanish isn't good enough.

Hi all,

I'm new to the site.

I just added lyrics for 2 albums of Croatian black metal outfit "Gorthaur's wrath". The problem is, I can't mark instrumentals as such.
Can someone help out and modify the following:

On the "Ritual IV" album mark the song "The invocation" as an instrumental
On the "War for heaven" album mark the song "Supreme illusion" as an instrumental

I noticed some other albums that I own still without lyrics here and will try to edit when I get some free time.

Done. Can you add the track lengths for Ritual IV if you have them? Thanks for your contribution!

The CD does not have track lengths. I'll check with iTunes or another player and update later.
Happy to help.

EDIT:

Added track lengths and members of "Ritual IV".

I also added lyrics for the EP "Godrun" of Swedish thrash metal act Stormdeath. Their second EP is a weird digipack edition that has no lyrics. I'll try to get them from one of the band members.
If my idiotic eye infection permits, I'll add some stuff tomorrow as well.

Anyone?

http://www.metal-archives.com/albums/In ... urn/272707

are these the official lyrics or are these are transcription. I ask this because the ??? parts confuse me.

I did "Homecoming" somehow, but the rest of the images are way too low resolution to make out. I'd be happy to do it, but I can't read them, and i don't want to guess my way through it...

These scans are a bit small, though the writing is still legible. Hopefully somebody doesn't mind squinting a little.

Out of Darkness - Demo
Release page | Lyrics I | Lyrics II

I added

Unholy inquisition (CRO) - Shades of inferno
Stormdeath (SWE) - Promodeath

If My eye condition improves, I'll add more next week.
Cheers.

I had no problem reading this one. Finished.

Apparently the lyrics of Hypocrisy's Catch 22 are never made available through official resources. Judging by the various question marks in the lyrics here, it seems they were gotten based on listening. Should they stay or be removed?

Scans of Catch 22, no lyrics
Scans of Catch 22, Japanese version, no lyrics
Scans of the re-recorded Catch 22 V2.0.08 (special edition), no lyrics
Scans of Catch 22 V2.0.08 (normal edition), no lyrics
Official website, no lyrics.

Not necessarily related to Hypocrisy but lyric related: I took care of N's lyrics for you, let me know if I missed anything.

Thanks.

Also, the � mojibake has been reduced from over 2000 entries to merely 6 entries. The remaining entries are:
Dickless Tracy > Of Light and Darkness (track 4, 8, Slovene, è --> č, � --> š or ž) (DONE, thanks rojci666)
Zbor > Putovanje (all 4 tracks, Croatian, è --> č, æ --> ć, ð --> đ, � --> š or ž) (DONE, thanks rojci666)

(� mojibake from previous post)
Horna > Korpin Hetki (track 1, Finnish, å, ä, ö)
Ohvrikivi > Forgotten Screams (track 3, 5, 6, Estonian, š, ž, õ, ä, ö, ü)
Lustnotes > Oblivion (track 3, French)
This one is quite strange: the diacritical letter together with the immediate next letter is deformed into one � (usually only the diacritical letter is deformed). For example: Line 8 reads "Petite fille si fra�he", I think the last word is fraîche. So not only the letter î is lost, but also the letter c after î.

Come on, we are from all corners of the world, there got to be someone who can fix them easily.

By now, ALL "searchable" mojibakes in lyrics have been corrected (minus the above). However, there are still some "unsearchable" ones due to the weakness of the search engine. For example, in Czech, the letter č is often deformed into è. But if you try to identify such deformed lyrics by searching è, it will give all lyrics that contain variants of e (e.g. e, é, è, ě, ė, etc). So unless the search engine is updated, there is no way to locate these lyrics. The good thing is, these lyrics are easy to fix. I will contact the site owner, requesting an update of the search scheme.

Added the lyrics for this Symbel album

EDIT - Also added Herne's lyrics http://www.metal-archives.com/albums/Herne/Face_of_the_Hunter/292027

Here are the links to the first two albums with scans including lyrics:

Here you can find some lyrics from the later albums:
http://www.doppelganger.ru/english/?page=reliase
but they are in all caps, so you need to convert them before adding.
There's also additional information for releases, lineup, etc.

I did the first one, I"ll do the second one later on tonight.

EDIT: I did the second one, man was that painful to type out.
