In the beginning of FAWM, @emplate asked me if he could add his voice to my first track. I said yes :)
After he was done with his concept album for FAWM (which I strongly encourage you to check out), he went to it and here is the result of this collab.
I'm no mixing engineer but I tried my best. We're very happy with the result though :D
@emplate: I've really liked what @doggolito has been doing this year. This track reminded me of Dimmu Borgir, so I crushed a few beers and tried to take some overly dramatic approach with it. I think it turned out pretty good, largely thanks to the awesome backing track!
The mouth
Of the eater
Of the worlds
Swallows the stars
A dying sun
Scorches those
Who carry the pillars
On their backs
The gates are opened
As the horns of war sound
The demise will ride
On Mercury wings
Mars with his fiery sword
Reaps the world
Leaving behind
Blood and ash
Throughout the ages
The lamentations of history
Shall be scraps
For the dogs

Pretty epic song! Could be an introduction to a live show! Emplate did an awesome work as always! The instrumentation is also dooope! Congrats for this great collab!

Yes, two of my fav metal heads found together. Have to listen to it loud, Hope my neighbours understand. This rocks. @emplate addition to this symphonic track is epic. Lyrics fit to the mood of the track and this voice holy cow! The bridge is great for headbanging. And @doggolito please don't excuse for not being a mixing engineer, you do seriously good mixes.
Production note: The horns could be a bit louder and spoken parts a bit quiet. Not much about 1-2 dB. Then it's perfect. But I don't care if you leave it like this cause it's already awesome!

Being a fan of both of your works (is that how one Englishes?) I did not see this collab coming but damn does it sounds good. It's like Emperor with a slight hint of Meshuggah. Awesome lyrics, awesome strings riffs/ostinatos. One of the coolest things I've heard this FAWM.
