Plodding, thunderous drums contrasted with a melodic, plucked viola and swirling organic synths.

Sinister, depressive ambient funeral doom. Twisted viral shrouds of decay cloy at the edges of your dreams, tearing your soul into scattered suicidal fragments.
Methuselah is my dark ambient / doom solo project. The first release 'Tales From The Blasted Heath' was largely inspired by Mortiis & Joy Division, and the writings of HP Lovecraft. Since then, Lovecraft's writing have remained a constant source of lyrical inspiration along with other authers such as Brian Lumley, Edgar Allen Poe and M R James. The second full-length album 'Miserere' is a 2 part CD, with tracks weighing in at 28 minutes each. More organic sounds are used here, with minimal percussion and long, suffocating, mesmeric samples. The resultant brooding atmosphere has an almost tangible force. Following that, 'The Burrowers Beneath' is a lot lighter in feel, with clearly structured compositions featuring string instruments, minimal synths and spoken word passages. Latest album 'The Sleeper In The Abyss' is the most clearly Lovecraftian in theme. This recording combines dense, sinister synth drones with lush string sections, and an over-lying feeling of dread.

Story behind the song
Older samples from unfinished previous projects have been re-used in this piece, and further distorted to provide a deeper background for the highly pitched strings.
Lyrics
Taste the bitterness of mortality, the slow decay of time, you will come to death, an image of ancient glory, linger on in darkness, bound to grief, in the fading vale of tears, there is nothing else, only death.
