Canticle of the Arc

“Seraphicide” opens The Desolation of the Abomination like a detonated god: a violent, ritualistic declaration that sets the album’s story in motion. This first chapter is not an allegory — it is the assault. It’s a sonic crucible where blackened deathcore brutality collides with apocalyptic atmosphere and suicidal grandeur. UNIDARK (Morning Star) sculpts the violence of the lyrics into music that feels like an execution: dissonant guitars that bite, drum work that alternates between militaristic march and machine-gun blast, cavernous low-end and vocals that move from bile-drenched growls to monstrous, shouted prophecy.

Lyrically, “Seraphicide” is direct and merciless. It depicts the physical and metaphysical overthrow of the divine: the striking of halos from heads, the shattering of sanctified icons, and the conversion of heavenly light into charred ash. The song’s narrative voice is an anti-prophet — equal parts butcher and visionary — whose acts are described in stark, corporeal language. That concreteness is mirrored by the production: guitars carved with razor precision, breakdowns engineered to feel like catastrophe, and layered atmospherics that keep the listener inside a landscape of collapsing altars and burning sanctuaries.

Musically this track sits squarely at the nexus of blackened deathcore and brutal deathcore, leveraging tremolo-picked black-metal textures and blackened dissonance while never losing the punishing low-end and syncopated chugs that define modern deathcore. Moments of bleak melody and cinematic noise lift the scene into something ritualistic — not peaceful, but formalized violence: a ceremony performed in acid and iron. The songwriting emphasizes contrast: surgically tight technical passages give way to wide, destructive grooves; whispered, venomous lines erupt into full-throated declarations of annihilation.

As the album’s opening salvo, “Seraphicide” functions on two levels: it introduces the protagonist’s mission (the deliberate dismantling of divinity) and establishes the album’s sonic law — nothing is sacred, and everything is subject to consumption. For listeners who track genres like deathcore, death metal, blackened metal and extreme metal, this is a meeting point of narrative and physical intensity: a compelling entry for fans who seek conceptual depth alongside crushing heaviness.

If you want to experience the full narrative arc, hearing “Seraphicide” as the opening chapter rewires the context for the entire album. On Bandcamp, buying this track or the complete album supports UNIDARK’s continuing work as a solo extreme-metal producer and ensures you receive high-resolution audio, exclusive future updates, and the best possible sonic reproduction of this harsh, detailed production.

My heart is wasting away 
And I’m drowning in my sorrow 
And I’m loosing touch again 

My heart is racing away 
When I feel your touch 
When I’m in your presence 
Everything feels so right 
I wouldn’t throw this away 
Even if it meant the death of me 
The death of me 
Because without you 
I’m already dead 

You’re all that I see 
You’re in my heart and in my dreams 
You had reached perfection to me 

But what I failed to see 
Was right in front of me 
As my roots grew deeper to you 
They revealed the problems that I once saw through 
I looked to you when I needed insight 
You were my everything 
And all I thought I needed was right there 
But I’d be proven wrong 
Can I hold on any longer 
Or are we falling apart 
Forever I’ll see the sun rays glimpse your face 
I’ll hold you in my memory 
Forever these memories remain 
But let go! 

Lifeless I feel 
Scared I am 
Is this love wasted 
Or more pain to come 
Why do I care so much 
Why do I give a fuck 
Is this love wasted 
Or more pain to come 
Go! 
I’m done with your ways 
Done with your games 
Scarred with this pain 

My heart is wasting away 
And I’m drowning in my sorrow 
And I’m loosing touch again (X3)
