Michael Haunters of the holy sepulchre. This is scary Gaelic style metal. Chow chow on gothic beef. 🍖 The musicality of this is something I'm quite blessed to have encountered. Favorite track: Água Sobe e Água Desce (Música Popular Alentejana).

bmurator Portuguese Death / Folk Metal. Amazing background stories couched in history & tradition - love it! Water goes up and water goes down - luckily I have the lyrics (thanks!) as my knowledge of Portuguese is next to zero. A stunning album which is sadly all over too soon - but i have it on repeat! Hopefully there will be more too one day! Highly recommended!!! Favorite track: The Wolf (of Sertorius).

Arghbeast I was lucky enough to participate in this album. Thank you! I love the final result, now you just need to do another one my friend. You can tell when someone puts his heart into something, this is the perfect example. Favorite track: The Wolf (of Sertorius).

Era uma vez um menino que queria ser pastor As ovelhas gostavam muito dele Um dia o menino cresceu e ficou Rei

Blood was spilled on this earth, when you giveth thy word Your promise hid the intention of steel Your legions fell on us, like hungry dogs Our children, our women were lost A shepherd A king The oak A pillar for our kin Never will we trust the roman word Our enemy, our nemesis The scourge of the earth Those that survive, ghosts but still alive The cry for revenge arised As we unite, the lost souls of Galba The title, imposed, the keeper from wolves The shepherd king the oak of Lusitania I am the vengeance of old A shepherd A king The oak A pillar for our kin The Eagle now fear us, it shows in their eyes Lambs that turn to wolves our spirit will never die The eagle's talon met with wolf's jaws The heavens will be filled with your cries On the year of 152 b.c Servius Galba invited 30 000 unarmed Lusitanians to a peace treaty that resulted in a massacre Few escaped, wounded but dead inside. Gathering around an oak they found their new leader,one of the survivors,Viriathus.

Ao passar a ribeirinha água sobe e água desce Dou a mão ao meu amor antes que ninguem soubesse Se tu és o meu amor dá-me cá abraços teus Se não és o meu amor saudinha adeus, adeus A frente do amor bricas tu brincarei eu Anda cá par'os meus braços ninguem te quer mais do que eu

Eu quero ir para o Monti, eu quero ir para o Monti Que no Monti é qu'estou bem, que no monti é qu'estou bem Eu quero ir para o Monti, eu quero ir para o Monti Onde não haja ninguém, que no Monti é que estou bem I want to go, to the hills alone Eu quero ir para o Monti, eu quero ir para o Monti Que no Monti é qu'estou bem, que no monti é qu'estou bem Eu quero ir para o Monti, eu quero ir para o Monti Onde não haja ninguém, que no Monti é que estou bem "So there i was, lost, cold. But happy to be on the hill by my own" I want to go, to the hills alone

The fifth of his siblings The new Hannibal One eyed warrior Unite the tribes unite them all The chosen one, the Huntress's son The white fawn will lead or will fall On burning days and cold nights On sea and land we'll give you fight For freedom, for war We lurk the forest at dawn We´ll hunt your souls of Viriathus glory of old Fear makes the wolf seem bigger

On the borders of safety That's where I find peace Where the black sand Meets the raging seas I see the forces For what they truly are Yet I'm reminded Of my beating heart Among the lonely rocks Is where I lay my head I hear the ocean calling "Come with me instead" She sings me songs Of ungrateful souls Who once thought gods Could bring them home On the borders of safety That's where I find peace Where the black sand Meets the raging seas I see the forces For what they truly are Yet I'm reminded Of my beating heart And I could swear That the ocean sings and the mountains talk to me I could swear That I hear her breath and her heartbeat in the air I could swear I could swear On the edge of comfort That's where I find love And the ocean Already knows But she can't love you Like you love her There's no mercy From Mother Earth

about

Eboras is old Celtic for yew tree. The city of Évora (Alentejo, Portugal) once was called Ebora by the celtici (Celtic tribe that coexisted with the Lusitanians in the same period) that lived in that area. It was known by the romans as Eborae Cerialis and after they conquered it, Liberalitas Julia. Eboras is my will to keep our celtici origins alive.

"And Then There Were None" tells the story of two great heroes from the lusitanian lore. One is a lusitanian shepherd that became king, the other is a roman general that fell in love with Lusitania and its people.

I hope my effort to introduce them to you will fascinate you has their stories fascinated me.

I want to thank all those that lost a little of their time to help me. To my friends and family for the patience. To Sérgio, aka the Arghbeast, that lend me his voice on the track "The Mount" and also for promoting this project,
João Ruivo for his talent on the guitar and on producing these tracks, Carlos Silva (my brother) that will release the video clip and finally, last but definitely not the least to my eldest daughter...yeah, she sings in the "Água Sobe e Água Desce" track (one of her favorite songs) and she is the narrator on the intro.

PS - Ruivo and Sérgio are my brothers in arms on the best band I have ever played. Godofe Keios is that band...so, thanks to all members of the GoK familly (Molefas, Jô, Daniel, Kontra, Pika, Rato), one way or the other you also helped me.

about

Eboras Evora, Portugal

Eboras is a project, almost like a vision, that has many years. It got lost in time but finally I had the courage and time to finish it.
Although I think I am far from finishing the effort, not just mine but also of the people that helped me and gave me the boost to keep going.This means that a second chapter may be released in a near future.
