Dracolich of The Gray Waste

by Alkilith

supported by

Anders Kvistr Dark, foreboding and haunting, yet meditative and deeply soothing. Like someone is guiding me through a world of old, sorrowful forests, ancient graveyards and crumbling tombs. And the Dracolich is always watching from high above. Listen, and tread the forgotten paths. Favorite track: The Tale of Shargrailar the Dark and The Cult of The Dragon.

sjöhäxan A contemplative and gloomy journey to the halls of hades. Spiritless and empty I return, humbled by the encounter with hell itself, with the soothing ocean of sound that guides me. Favorite track: The Ocean Mists of Niflheim Part I.

An Goblin crusty tape hiss and minimal instrumentation make for an addictive brew

about

"So comes snow after fire, and even dragons have their endings"

It is where evil springs eternal.

It is a plane of endless apathy and despair.

It is the great battlefield of the Blood War.

Hades sits at the nadir of the lower planes, halfway between two races of fiends each bent on the other's annihilation. Thus, it often sees its gray plains darkened by vast armies of demons battling equally vast armies of devils who neither ask nor give quarter. If any plane defines the nature of true evil, it is the Gray Waste. In the Gray Waste of Hades, pure undiluted evil acts as a powerful spiritual force that drags all creatures down. Here, even the consuming rage of the Abyss and the devious plotting of the Nine Hells are subjugated to hopelessness.

Apathy and despair seep into everything at the pole of evil. Hades slowly kills a visitor's dreams and desires, leaving the withered husk of what used to be a fiery sprit. Spend enough time in Hades, and visitors give up on things that used to matter, eventually giving in to total apathy. Hades has three layers called “glooms.” Uncaring malevolence that slowly crushes the spirit permeates each gloom.

Released by Lost Armor Records.

I first heard of Ghoëst when the demos started popping up in everyone's end of year lists, and listening to this the hype is 100% justified. This demo is a whole journey: atmospheric, focused and surprisingly hooky in places. Really great stuff. lichdom
