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.


As signs and months slowly align As signs and months slowly align
Working session - 2 layers of bass guitar have been added. Best listened to as hi-fi through headphones or decent speakers.

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.

Another deep dark winter Another deep dark winter
After a 1-minute intro, an evocation of the almost claustrophobic melancholy often found in wintry days

Guilt Trip (rehearsal) Guilt Trip (rehearsal)
Full length rehearsal track 'Guilt Trip'

Failed to get a solid grip Failed to get a solid grip
A 20% excerpt from the rehearsal track 'Failed to get a solid grip'

Shanghai III (in progress) Shanghai III (in progress)
For the moment without the essential bass part or vocals, but that's the whole idea, I try to show the whole growing process. And I'm 9000 kilometers away from my main equipment anyway... *Streaming only since this is a work in progress, sorry

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

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

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

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.

Fall beneath the crying night Fall beneath the crying night

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'.

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

Sanctuary for the Mystic Sanctuary for the Mystic
Again experimenting in a slightly different direction.

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

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.
