Elend Silent slumber - A god that breeds pestilence

[ForImperium]

When you stare into the abyss, the abyss stares back into you

- Friedrich Nietzsche

[FacelessScarface]

A beautiful symphony. It reminds me to never forget, who I am and what I was trying to displace.

[JostleCubed]

I went most of the song thinking "well this is fairly good but I don't see what all the fuzz is about." Then... Holy motherfucking shitballs, that was... powerful.

[IHeartBrattyPets1212]

This made me reunite with my stronger self, in some way, and it also made me cry for my fears...odd.

[Adamski9807]

@IHeartBrattyPets1212 really like your comment. i had a similar feeling when i first heard this.

[VampireDreamKiller]

Muchos no se atrevieron a escucharla toda!!! ^^, pero es una de mis favoritas antes de dormir!!!

[fall3n5]

This song brought out a voice in my head that terrified me for months on end ... Not sure if I should listen to it again.

[Adamski9807]

@fall3n5 in touch with your darkside!!



[fall3n5]

@Adamski9807 My dark side scares the fuck out of me. o_o

[fall3n5]

@Adamski9807 There's a difference with being in touch with your dark side and being scared shitless.

Cloudy day, walking through lonely streets, a lightning strikes and this song starts...

[BonzoxD]

@AcidDropElectric91

Go back to your bass sounds, you low-life scum of the Earth.

[lucky600000]

This is the true ambient!

[ALopezProduction]

Is the black void moving fro anyone else? Or is it just me?

[C63AMGestate]

Can anyone recommend me a song like this?

[indiglogrey]

@C63AMGestate

A lot of the soundtrack to the game Heavy Rain (try Lauren Winter's Main Theme, or Redemption, or Last Breath) and also Indigo Prophecy has dark, ambient elements like this. You might also consider listening to some Silent Hill OST songs such as "Red Pyramids" or "True" from SH2.

[C63AMGestate]

@indiglogrey Thanks! I've never played Heavy Rain or Silent Hill.

The piece for the main theme of Heavy Rain is sweet though.

[whitewaterider]

OMG!!! This has got to be one of the most beautiful pieces of music I have ever heard!!!! Thank you so much for posting this!

[taydify]

masterpiece

[H2Zman]

Is it strange that I go from Testament, Deathchain, Decrepit Birth, and Dark Funeral to this?

[Adamski9807]

@H2Zman ha nah only cuz this song is so epic....

[hurrhurrbtard]

@H2Zman This is darker than any black metal song imo. If the road to perdition had a soundtrack, it would be this song on repeat.

[occultfish]

@H2Zman haha no! This is what gothic metal has evolved into and above all, this is closer linked to that darkness we want to feel within our soul than some guy playing a guitar.

[ArchSaur]

@H2Zman Actually I think a lot of metalheads know Elend (like me too BTW). Not sure why though, maybe because first album was released on metal label, maybe because guys from Elend besides other stuff listen to heavy music too (I remember someone of them mentioning Dillinger Escape Plan in one of the interviews). Or maybe because Elend is about musical intensity and "sonic violence", which a lot of metal is "about" too.

[C63AMGestate]

@ArchSaur Elend is easily as intense as Dark Funeral or Gorgoroth, in a much darker way.

[Adamski9807]

On my videos theresone called the great dreaming swan check that out!!

[DubstepOverdose]

very nice. very very nice. anybody can recommend me some more songs like this with nice strings and vocals?

[sOuLoFoSiRiS]

try the whole Elend discography, worth listening to it, one album after another... it compares to nothing...

you could also try dargaard, it's a bit different, but you might like it...

[Adamski9807]

@sOuLoFoSiRiS hey yeah dargaard werent bad enjoyed em!

[xROCKDOLL]
