Blood Meridian inspired standalone track.

Lyrics:

Clouds move over the plains.
The wind picks up.
These fields hold our sins.
Skin and bone torn.
Ashes rain from the Sky.
Smell of burning flesh.
War was always here.
It waits for us.

Cries of those too frail to die with dignity
Cut down while they weep on their knees
The flames envelope their shrinking husk
Forever cursing these grounds.

I once feared.
I was going to die.
Now I am afraid
I will never be granted rest.

Hear the guns blazing and painting the clouds in an ominous flash.
The rumble of landmarks and civilizations dragged to their end.

Wolves cull their own.
Man more predacious than all.
The agony of war.
A pruning of the tree of life.
Ashes rain from the Sky.
Smell of burning flesh.
War was always here.
It waits for us.

The silence of men who die on their feet.
Cut down while they defiantly stand.
The flames envelope their shrinking husk
Forever cursing these lands.

I once was afraid.
I was going to die.
Now I am afraid
I will never be granted rest.

Their debut record "Hopelessness" is a doom/sludge/post metal album which evolved into new multi-genre experiments with each release. led by Lord Gloom [Guitar, Vocals, Keyboard/Synth or any instrument role that needs to be filled for specific projects] as lead composer, Gloom brings elements of hip hop, prog-rock/art rock to his productions.

Metal, all kinds, all kinds of compositions.  There is no such thing as a bad recording, only missed opportunities to explore ourselves and make ourselves better than the last cycle.  Love you all.  Metal forever.

LORRIDI is a Power Folk/Viking Metal solo project by Jan Magne Garte. Taking inspiration from the sagas of the viking age and norse mythology, Garte creates vivid images of the old gods and warriors through his music and lyrics.

Born in Norway, 1971. At the age of 16, Jan Magne Garte played bass in different bands starting in the mid '80s. Growing in popularity and opening for some of the most popular Norwegian Rock bands at the time. By the early 2000s, Garte started expanding his repertoire by singing songs himself and switching from bass to guitar.

Around the same time his parental duties would start to take the focus from the music, and his career as a musician   took a hiatus for almost two decades. Now after all this time, his love for making music has truly rekindled and the old musician has returned. 

All of his music is heavly influenced by the songs of his youth, from genres such as '80s hard rock, heavy metal, thrash, but also taking notes from the next generation of musicians.

Garte also has another solo project under his own name. 
All tracks were composed, arranged, recorded and mastered by Garte himself.

A collection of stuff I’ve released or am kicking around

Hello, I’m Rob, or BOB! lol!
One man band: I play Guitar, Bass, Vocals, and program Drums.
(I DO NOT use AI for my music)

I’ve been playing guitar since I was 13, and enjoyed performing in a few bands over the years. 
If anyone is interested is collaborating or chatting music, please don’t hesitate to reach out. 
I want to build relationships and know people for who they are, and not just what they play.
