-Press Remarks -

(No Clean Singing)

As you listen you can feel the descending gloom, the blotting out of the sun, the emergence of hungry ghosts from the void. It’s a chilling song, with a hard edge of violence in the rabid vocals and the frenzied riffs, but with the shroud of a frigid void blanketing the music through the sweeping movement of panoramic melody across its surging energy, and the twinkling of distant stars manifested in the sparkling keyboard notes.

Unexpectedly (unless you’ve heard previous releases by the band), the song also soars, with lofting clean vocals helping to morph the music into a glorious vision, as if we’ve come out the other side of the eclipse. And the song is so well-written that this emergence feels like part of the natural flow of things rather than a jarring change. It’s a magical transformation.

lyrics

You live in sorrow
Turn your gaze to the void
You are nothing, weightless
Float into the cosmic sea

You've lived years in isolation
Wandering still into the night
Seeking solace
Of immeasurable hope

Light the flames
Into the black abyss
Nocturnal dominion
Is lust and darkness
Looming in Deaths perception

Dreaming Dementia
Nocturnal Dominion

Light the flames
Into the black abyss
Nocturnal dominion
Is Lust and darkness
Looming in deaths perception

Dreaming Dementia
Nocturnal Dominion

I’ve stared into the void for too long.
Consumed, entranced and forgotten of my past.
Trapped into the depths of reality, I know what’s left of me.
Further into the transmundane, the tides of fate show mercy.
