	This is the opening cut from the "Of Empires Forlorn" album. An earlier version was released as a 7" single on Maniacal Records in late 2002. The atmospheric beginning ala Tangerine Dream leads into a crushing funeral dirge, before suddenly shifting into a stadium rock anthem, and ultimately ends in waves of baroque-inspired counterpoint. Triumphant, but ironic, these waves represent the sorrow swallowing a barren soul. The most "upbeat" song in our discography.

	The Viking-era Bathory-inspired title track of the latest album. "Empires" musically and lyrically depicts a vast, haunted landscape filled with the carnage of memories and hopes.

"Soulsadness" genre: Doom/Stoner Metal

	The centerpiece of the "Empires" album, "Soulsadness" further elaborates on the hopelessness first described in "The Drowning Years." Beginning as the most traditional Doom song on the album (given the Revelation-inspired opening sequence), "Soulsadness" gradually twists and turns on another epic journey deep into the wells of sorrow, ultimately yielding to a neck-snapping rage of anger and frustration. Collectively, this is the song that the band perceives as the most successful production on this album. Doom Onward.
