    This Album was inspired by Captain Sir John Franklin's Lost Expedition, a British Voyage of Arctic Exploration that departed with 129 Men from England in 1845.
    Both Ships, called Erebus & Terror, became icebound and after being trapped and suffering in ethernal coldness for over a year, the remaining Sailormen decided to abandon their Ships. Trying to survive, they set out for the Canadian Mainland but disappeared.
    Their frozen bodies might still be out there.

about

"The Expedition" is about the crew's spirit of departure.
At the beginning, the song builds up slowly, takes on partly enthusiastic features and tells of the beginning of the journey.
As the narrator, however, you already know what horrible things will happen to everyone involved later.
Thus, in addition to the enthusiastic mood, there is a certain melancholy and gloominess.

lyrics

Daidalos - The Expedition

1845
An Odyssey began
East to West a Passage leads hidden and unknown
Erebus and Terror Gods of Darkness once
Shelter on the Pack Ice now
Fame and Honour when we come back Home
And so our Heroes left their Land
Crying Girls on the haven of Greenhithe
129 Men that would never return but suffer in Coldness
But still in the Hope of an eternal glamorous Exploration
We are the Sailors
Men of the Sea
We are the Sailors
Pig and Hen will guard us
We are the Sailors
Officers and Seamen
Follow the Captain
Northwest a Passage he will find
Storms and Waves are longing for our Lifes
Faces to the Wind
An Arctic Exploration´s Tale
Ride the northern Winds
On the Deck of icebound Ships we´ll sing
Heroes of the Expedition
Hopeful we´re starting like Brothers with Honour
Leaving our past Lifes behind
Heading for Glory all men on their Posts
As One we will succeed
Northwest Passage
The Sea lies still
But yet is rough
The Sea lies still
The Icewind comes

The original idea was to write Blackmetal songs just by piano&drums.
But after an experiment of creating atmospheric breakdowns between the heroic but hopeless mental state of Sir John Franklin´s Arctic Expedition, a concept for "The Expedition" was born.
Still in the lead of the piano, eight symphonic Dark Metal songs arised. ... more
