After getting into a brutal car crash that left the girl he loves dead (or so he thought), he bleeds out and falls into a coma. In his mind he has gone to hell to search for his love though he constantly questions whether this is actually hell or if he is just dreaming.

As always I recorded this in the comfort of my room using ableton. I wrote this all out on guitar pro then made it happen. I programmed the drums and the guitar is super edited.... I suck at guitar but damn do I know how to fake it! Big shout out to my buddy Ian for shredding an epic solo!

Lyrics

Downward Spiral

Ripped from the mortal coil
Severed from that plane of existence
Now free from the burden of life
I spiral down towards the unknown
A dark vortex of all that I loath

Cast into the void along with every fear and dark desire I had.

No lights ahead to guide my fall
This can't be real, this must be hell

If this is hell then I will search for the one that I love through torment and through strife.
If I can find her I can prove my worth we'll be together in the afterlife.
Or could this be a dream, a game of some sort playing out delusions in my mind.
A testament to all the time I wasted on a girl that would never be mine.

Ignore your shattered dream
This can't be real so I wont wallow in my own self pity
Endure the downward spiral
Sever the ties from the world above, I'll be here for a while

I've been lost to the void for too long
I don't know who I am now
Last I remember
Gripping her tightly
Covered in glass and blood
Praying for a second chance

I remember all the good times that we shared
And when you passed I know that I wasn't prepared
What if there was a way that we could be
Forever bound in this false reality

(screams)
Goodby, this can't be real.. this can't be real.. this can't be real.. this must be hell.

Lyrics:
Very interesting, really captures the scenario you're trying to portray.All in all, great work

Amazing riffs mate! Very interesting vocals too. Try to find a group of people with same musical interests as you and form a band because I'm sure it'd be great! Keep it real.

FUCKING BEAUTIFUL!!!! you are one hell of an artist this is going straight to my MP3

If sex was in song form, this would be it.

what a treat to the ears! the mix is great and the drums are so heavy it makes me wanna cry!
