beejwins Melodic and heavy doom with really tasteful, clean vocals, powerful, spacious drumming and crushing riffs. Anything Arthur Rizk touches is gold currently, and former members of Sumerlands and Magic Circle plus Rizk’s involvement should be an auto buy for any fan of the style! Highly recommend! Favorite track: Celeste.

Celeste 09:05
Celeste Rotating spheres not lost ethereal quintessence Solitary dwindling in my insignificance Sheer presence rests her greatness satisfied in harmony Celestial immaculate without end immortality Unchanging unmoved mover, moved only by the virtue of love She is gifted from and centered in only the heavens above Unchanging unmoved mover, moved only by the virtue of love She is gifted from and centered in only the heavens above Adoration keeps foddering universal infinity The contrivance of what is now her divinity Empyrean angel with whom has firmament guard. Jewels the fifth element that’s created in the stars Unchanging unmoved mover, moved only by virtue of love She is gifted from and centered in only the heavens above Unchanging unmoved mover, moved only by virtue of love She is gifted from and centered in only the heavens above Lie in wait of equinox Centered in cosmos come Great machines creations done Lie in wait of equinox Centered in cosmos come Great machines creations done
