1.	Celestial Shade (free) 06:34	lyrics	download
Behold the burial of the golden god Where his crown of light is fading away into the shadows of her majesty Black horses ride the sky Their gallop marks the birth of night Roar of the chariot, a trail of dusk One whose endless glory will eternally last, forever Drowned in the waters of horizon you ll be As your rays of vanity vanish along with your lucidity Black wings and halo of dark mist Born out of pure massive nihil Come and become the brightest shadow On this celestial dome, oh mother of awe Children of virgin birth unleashed upon the earth Creatures of primal fear rule and haunt the night in our hearts Defiling them From within, cold misery Mesmerizing sounds of serenity, And images of sweet oblivion i breathe Womb nocturnal, brother of mine Till the dawn arrives, a gentle lullaby I, the dreamless bearer of doom Our mother's immortality Am the pale dancer in starless skies That the sun shall perpetually deny Inside this darkness I will lay And avoid the lucid way Under a missing sun, silver my queen Night and dusk I will become To her beauty I'll succumb Under a reigning moon, a feeling serene
2.	Rivers of the Nether (free) 06:21	lyrics	download
Lead me to the abominable abode of the dead Nether, through one thousand needle pain Acheron, bringer of woe and affliction I smother life, cold destroyer of the flesh Waters that carry the tragedy of fate Dark are they, for dark is demise Anathema, the grand fall begins As the boat of Charon is approaching A shiny lake of tears caught my eye Cocytus your sour taste, the suffocating lament Of a million souls Hate, your name echoes into one's soul Styx, you're inside evermore Now that I carry no light and all light is devoured and lost The anti-queen is by my side, eats all light and dawn Your name echoes into my soul in endlessness Pyriphlegethon, your fire is so loud Where boiling sinful hearts bathe into your wrath Don't come and poison me With that toxic drops, I fear thee Derived from the deepest depths Obscurity Fading memory of a burning sun, bright Your new dawn is my dusk Farewell to thee, cool breeze of aether in fall There wont be no fall or rise Slave of the nether ground The shiny stars of hope are gone Forevermore Take me to the distorted realms of truth and past Lethe unfurl your veil of nothingness May in your holy nectar peace I find Lethe shroud me in your emptiness
3.	Ghost Star (free) 07:06	lyrics	download
All that is me, all is you Feel me, hear me Our past and present aligned In this life, every life As I walk through the milky way Beyond the stars, burning stars, above the high skies And all around me cold space entropy Among a billion sparkling dots, a bluish light So faded and so weak, its form a dying glint The glow of it so mine Mirror of me, plain view See me, feel me Your ghostly ties bind my sight You 're my eyes, yearning eyes Speak to me, let me taste your sorrow In the center of the world Upon the throne of might and of the light I radiate life I am an immortal god I'm on fire The fire now is gone, a faint ember holds And all of it my eyes As I walk through the milky way Into the silence of the mind, the void of matter lies Where grains of stardust ignite my skin A pale sign of glorious days, I descry A fragment of itself, trapped and forever kept In memory of light In the center of the world Upon the throne of might and of the light I radiate life I am an immortal god I'm on fire The fire now is gone, a faint ember holds And all of it my eyes A ghost star it's all I am A broken man fading into this nothingness Once bright and proud, an inspiring sight to behold Past greatness torments my dreams As I accept I will never shine again I rest in peace

about

This is a demo recording of three of our pieces. It is meant to showcase our music and establish a presence in the metal music community and the music industry. All three pieces present on this demo are part of something bigger; a full-length album that we plan on recording very soon.

We were all new to the recording process and truth be told it felt a bit intimidating the first time we walked into the studio. But when the music started it was just plain fun, not to mention the ideal reward for months of hard work.

Being the very first recording of our original music, Graces of the Fall is very special to us and we hope that you'll enjoy our music and decide to follow our band in the future. Enjoy!

about

Asphodel Patra, Greece

Asphodel is a melodic metal band based in Patras, Greece.

Our personal take on music is one rooted in gothic and black metal with a lot of doom elements and just a taste of classical music. We love powerful emotional melodies and dark or even depressing musical themes. This is the kind of music we work hard to produce. ... more
