Chorbo: Difference between revisions

Line 90:

One of our fans in Spain told us that Chorbo in Spanish means “summer fling”. Well let me tell you what it means in the UK: no compromises heavy metal that is true to its roots even after 45 years.

In the liner notes of ''Night on Skull Mountain'', the following liner notes establish that the album is the story of an actual warrior named Chorbo:

In the mists of time, in the days of yore, a small kingdom was beset on all sides by goblin hordes. Towns were pillaged, men were set aflame, women and children were stolen and carried to an unspeakable fate.

Until one day, when it seemed like the never-ending night was at its darkest, a lone man came down from the mountains and turned the tide of war: Chorbo. Armed with nothing but his legendary strength and an axe, Chorbo takes on the goblin hordes singlehandedly.

</blockquote>

Later, in the notes for ''Keep the Wolves at Bay'', the following passage continues Chorbo's adventures:

In the ancient scrolls in the cold northern Viking kingdoms, there is a prophecy that foretells Ragnarök, the Twilight of the Gods. It is said that the giant wolf Fenrir will break free from his magical bonds and devour the world.

The arrival of Ragnarök was heralded by three consecutive winters, and the stars disappeared from the sky. A great earthquake then freed Fenrir and he arrived unto Midgard with great awe and terror by all who saw him, and he said to them: "Behold and fear me, for I am the world-devouring wolf Fenrir!"

But there is one thing Fenrir never counted on: Chorbo. In open defiance of the Norns, armed with his legendary strength and mighty axe, Chorbo will challenge the world-devouring wolf in single combat. Can Chorbo save the world once again?
