Before the Coruscating Apollyon

Red eyes fail to close Red eyes fail to close

Instrumental excerpt from the entire 18 minute song. Imagine 'Shanghai III' on a deep undercurrent of bass guitars.

Ambient

Picture for song 'Inside Fatigue (excerpt)' by artist 'Before the Coruscating Apollyon'

Inside Fatigue (excerpt) Inside Fatigue (excerpt)

A 5 minute extract from the full version. All low end below 52 Hz has been filtered out, but still it's advisable to listen to it through headphones or good hi-fi speakers.

Alternative Metal

Pounding Wet Stone Walls (extract) Pounding Wet Stone Walls (extract)

Ambient

Picture for song 'Grievous' by artist 'Before the Coruscating Apollyon'

Grievous Grievous

Monotonous expression of regret about a wasted life. For the moment, the vocals are without any effects hence the sometimes 'dry' sound.

Ambient

Picture for song 'Silence (sketch of part I)' by artist 'Before the Coruscating Apollyon'

Silence (sketch of part I) Silence (sketch of part I)

A sketch of the first part of "Silence", for the moment purely instrumental.

Ambient

Picture for song 'Raising a Chalice to Sad Eyes' by artist 'Before the Coruscating Apollyon'

Raising a Chalice to Sad Eyes Raising a Chalice to Sad Eyes

First time I've chosen to use lyrics in Flemish rather than their translation into English.

Death/Black Metal

Fall beneath the crying night Fall beneath the crying night

Death/Black Metal

Picture for song 'Before the Coruscating Apollyon - Terrible Web' by artist 'Before the Coruscating Apollyon'

Before the Coruscating Apollyon - Terrible Web Before the Coruscating Apollyon - Terrible Web

A foretaste of what's to come, quite a difference from any previous songs. It gives a good idea of the 'new style'.

Death/Black Metal

Picture for song 'Temporary Reflections' by artist 'Before the Coruscating Apollyon'

Temporary Reflections Temporary Reflections

For the moment purely instrumental, but I'm thinking of adding some whispered parts in the background to it.

Death/Black Metal

Picture for song 'Sanctuary for the Mystic' by artist 'Before the Coruscating Apollyon'

Sanctuary for the Mystic Sanctuary for the Mystic

Again experimenting in a slightly different direction.

Death/Black Metal

Picture for song 'You who laid Siege to my senses' by artist 'Before the Coruscating Apollyon'

You who laid Siege to my senses You who laid Siege to my senses

Some people say it's vaguely reminiscent of Lovecraft, or rather the translation into music of such nightmarish fantasies

Death/Black Metal

Picture for song 'Awful and Old (extract)' by artist 'Before the Coruscating Apollyon'

Awful and Old (extract) Awful and Old (extract)

My slowest and probably heaviest work so far, though this is not the final version, where the mix is a lot better balanced.

Death/Black Metal
