New Song - Facilis Descensus Averni

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

Recently, after reading various Greek and Roman mythological
literature, including The Iliad, The Odyssey – later works like The
Inferno and Paradise Lost - and then my favourite book period: Virgil's
The Aeneid, I came to searching around for music that resembled that of
ancient Roman and Greco. I eventually went back to music I hadn’t
listened to in quite a while – Nile, to see how in their earlier albums
they encapsulated the sounds of ancient Egyptian culture, and soon
after I found myself with this song. I haven’t listened to anything
along the lines of Nile, or many particularly “heavy” bands in almost a
year so I thought I’d best pay homage to something that remains an
influence, all be it in the undertow, and recorded this piece. I had a
lot of fun making this track, ‘Facilis Descensus Averni’, so take a
listen and let me know what you think, if you like. 

On a side note I haven't posted much of my work on this site before, so
feel free to check out my other songs and comment by will (as you're
all more progressive fans, I like you might like the song 'Density' I
have on this page). 

 Hope you enjoy!
