Haven't written a metal song in over a year. Been so focused on my blues album. But I got that 33 year old X2N a couple days ago and I'm SO SO SO happy with how it sounds. It's basically my ultimate metal pickup. It sounds amazing through my rig and sounds even better recorded. It inspired me to write a metal song (also a few of my friends keep asking me when I'm gonna write metal again so I had to pacify them for a little while lol)
The lyrics (if you can't hear them) are about travelling to Jupiter's moon, Io, and finding something there entirely inhuman and totally vicious. Amidst all that, there are soundscapes which hopefully evoke some of the more wonderous aspects of space itself and what I can only imagine as sanity-draining aspects of long-haul space travel.
Oh, and I did vocals on this one.
Lyrics:
Enthroned upon a pillar of fire
shot through the sky towards endless black
Emptiness abounds, vaccuous entrancement
Frozen darkness, scorched by light
Space and time, twisted, encircled
Distorted, bent to unyielding will
Coursing through the ether, destination set
Navigate through unrest absolute
Caught in the pull of the Jovian lord
Look to his eye, the unending storm
Io, hear me, priestess impure
Grant us passage through your fiery breath
Sulfrous fumes, blistered earth
Ruptured heart, wanderer of the wild
Ascent into the distant heavens
Thoughts of inevitable catastrophe
Supernatural forces, power unknown
The hold it has, on life so fragile, small
Cower now, as the fury unfurls
Foreign species, rise from death
Decimate the living, putrify the dead
Spatial carnage, unholy soul
