Gorgons Alter - Arcane and Abel (2024) (New Full Album)

Gorgons Alter - Arcane and Abel (Full Album) Gorgons Alter is about an immortal born of two cosmic functions who oversee the universe, dropped into a medieval dark fantasy world to experience life, be a protector and search for a way to destroy the third God function, Yoth. An audible adventure where every album acts as chapters in the story, some even dedicated to side quests and characters within. Christopher Clough does all instruments, synths, recording and mastering at the basin of the Appalachian mountains.
'Arcane and Abel' is his new album featuring B sides from the split with the immensely talented Dragon Tomes. These are tracks that needed to be finished and he decided to just release them as a new metal album. Crushing, slow and atmospheric sludge, doom and Stoner metal using the same synths and tools he uses to write his dark ambient and fantasy synth music.

Thank you so much for the upload! It means more than I articulate.
For anyone curious, a solo artist who mainly writes in the Dungeon Synth/ Dark Ambient genre but my love of that wall of sound heavy stoner doom metal persists. I messed around trying to replicate that sound using the same instruments ( synths) I used for my fantasy dungeon synth stuff and learned not only could I pull it off but It was cartoonishly heavy lol. I truly hope everyone digs it!

I only have one track where I did vocals for it, only because the lyrics are really the song. If anyone's curious:
Plague Bathers lyrics:
Parasitic rockbed malevolence
Festering, patient and ominous
Sunlight coils it's wretching seething flesh
For 10 thousand years, it waited in the dark
To awaken from its nest
And now awaken it has
And wrath it has brought
They stood no chance in hell
And hell is what it wrought
At first sunset on the twilight of harvest
Spores bubble beneath the feet of a farmers child
They burrow in deep
It was all she could keep
From howling in the dark
Feral and wild
Creatures for miles
An immortals armor encased
In crimson and bile
Riding faster
To the village by no name
Two gods beckon him
That the Bathers be slain
The horror he'll find
Will splinter his mind
Watching
As bones slip from their joints
Off a child's mortal coil
He has arrived
To be greeted by a single, living, grieving mother
A non euclidian tower
Blots out the sun
Stacked bodies of families
Of daughters and sons
He hangs his head, for he knows he's too late
The plague Bathers
Have already won
Oh! Traveler
Have you come to slay the plagues
I fear you've arrived too late
This village now bound
By my same fate
Oh traveler
Dismount your steed
Unsheath your iron
And cut me down
I only ask
That you burn this village to the ground

In the movie "Jupiter Ascending" I found the idea of residing on Jupiter and making use of its/his"raw materials" so disturbingly fascinating.
, Came to my mind, when I read the the title of the of the first track.
