FROM SOIL TO STARS

The first part of this track is somwhat bombastic to represent the violent end of the Earth, with chanting, funereal monk-like vocals in many layers. Then, lots of oohs and aahs to give it a very surreal, ambient, spacey drifting feel. The metal aspect of the music itself demonstrates my love of incredible doom acts like SOLITUDE AETURNUS. I tried my damnedest to make the guitar riffing majestic and polished, like the aforementioned doom gods. Whether I achieved that is up to you to decide, of course.

The lyrical content represents our literal transition from decayed matter in the soil of Earth to be ejected into space when the planet dies with our star Sol. I see this not as a bad thing at all, but a complete freeing from our physical prison to the greatest journey of all. Really, none of us will ever experience the vastness of the raw universe while still alive, so this will be the next best thing. Some part of YOU will someday become life
or at least simple matter on another world.

 

Borne in the star-light

Time for your soul

to be called once again

Transtellar sorceries

carry solar wind

to be sighed for all time

Spawn cold new worlds

Distant hearts laid to seed

Sown far from home
