Carpathian Mountains
The Carpathian Mountains or Carpathians are a range of mountains forming an arc roughly 1,500 km (932 mi) long across Central Europe, making them the second-longest mountain range in Europe (after the Scandinavian Mountains, 1,700 km (1,056 mi)). They provide the habitat for the largest European populations of brown bears, wolves, chamois and lynxes, with the highest concentration in Romania, as well as over one third of all European plant species. The Carpathians and their foothills also have many thermal and mineral waters, with Romania having one-third of the European total. Romania is likewise home to the largest surface of virgin forests in Europe (excluding Russia), totaling 250,000 hectares (65%), most of them in the Carpathians, with the Southern Carpathians constituting Europe’s largest unfragmented forested area.
The Carpathians consist of a chain of mountain ranges that stretch in an arc from the Czech Republic (3%) in the northwest through Slovakia (17%), Poland (10%), Hungary (4%) and Ukraine (11%) to Romania (53%) in the east and on to the Iron Gates on the River Danube between Romania and Serbia (2%) in the south. The highest range within the Carpathians is the Tatras, on the border of Slovakia and Poland, where the highest peaks exceed 2,600 m (8,530 ft). The second-highest range is the Southern Carpathians in Romania, where the highest peaks exceed 2,500 m (8,202 ft).

Vocalist Martin Kirby then moved to guitar, although Crafter left seven months later in February 2007, after which Kirby resumed his position as frontman.Michael Crafter did not sing on any of Carpathian's recordings.
In 2008, Carpathian released their second studio album Isolation, which reached No. 19 on the ARIA Charts.

End Of The World
by: CarpathianThis is the point where we ask ourselves
"Are these our lives or are we more?"
Fuck standing on a ship we're sinking
The tide beats incessantly dragging you down
Bust!
I only saw what I wanted to see
I only heard what I wanted to hear
This is the End of the World
With open arms embrace the cold
With open hearts embrace this cold
This is the End of the World
Submerge breathless and choke on blackened air
Piece me together with shards of heartless despair
Never forget the days that passed the time we shared
Meant everything although I wasn't fucking there
Deal with it
Rock 'n Roll
And I will never forget about you
